Review: The game is called "Full Spectrum Warrior," not "Full Spector Warrior." Also, am I the only one who thinks that five years is a short console life? If the games only get really good when the machine is about to die, why the rush to replace it? I own an Xbox, a Gamecube, and several other machines, and yet my PSone still gets a lot of use.

Review: I believe Ruby is referring to Wild Tangent, the company which has had an interesting run. Also, if you've not seen the video of Will Wright demo'ing <i>Spore</i>, you really, really should. Mathematically-generated content solves a number of problems (especially for online virtual environments). Procedurals reduce bandwidth requirements and improve quality all at the same time. It's fairly common for 2D textures, but not for 3D models. And one has only to look at the creativity of Second Life users (which uses mathematically-defined objects instead of mesh data for 3D building blocks) to get a sense of what is in store for players of <i>Spore</i>.

Review: You've confused Nintendo 64 with the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It looks like you've fixed the error about N64 coming out in '86 (though the wrong version is still on Yahoo), but the part about N64 marking the introduction of Shigeru Miyamoto is still wrong.
