I feel like this comes down to your age at the time of the war. I was in the prime of my childhood for the SNES vs Genesis conflict. Therefore as a gamer kid it was a vastly important part of my life to defend the system I chosen as their was no way my parents were getting me a 2nd system (I choose the SNES). Also how much do you have going on as a kid, I had more time and energy to waste on such endeavors. Plus the marketing campaign has great.

By the time the the N64-PS1 battle came along I was in highschool and had a job so by 97 I owned both systems and the arguing didn't matter as much, since I had no reason to defend one over the other. The only thing that sticks in my head marketing wise from these years was from Sega such as them throwing a PS1 off a building and stating "Fly plaything fly."

My console has been doing the same thing recently. I wonder if one of the recent updates has anything to do with it?

I feel like the bad games are usually the ones based on a movie scheduled for a tandem release and therefore rushed. Goldeneye was movie based and rocked it also was released close to 2 years after the movie and had plenty of development time.

I'll add

Alien vs Predator (Jaguar) Also the original 2 PC games were good as was the awesome Aliens arcade game.

Alien 3 (SNES)

Guess the up coming Prometheus has Xenomorphs on by brain lol

Xenoblade was made in low quantities in NA.

You could also mention Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary or Metroid Prime Trilogy, but they're technically compilations of remakes. One of them a remake of a compilation of remakes...

I was going to mention Metroid Prime Trilogy as well, but figured it was already rare and didn't need mentioning.

I think many rare and sought after titles will emerge from the Wii since it has a shrinking base of hardcore games which tend to sell poorly as the system has been branded kiddy and mainstream and consequently abounded by many hardcore gamers.

I'm voting for Child of Eden it didn't sell particularly well even though it is a very unique game in a genre that is not often explored.

Also Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, decent game with a good story and great atmosphere that just didn't sell well.

I was beat to it Spawn, I only rented it and still remember being totally pissed that I wasted my money and time.

Being 'Born-Again' Linked to More Brain Atrophy: Study

Not a true article on atheism, but fun stuff never the less.

Most of my close friends and family know my positions as I was taught to and continue to question everything of course that can also include atheism. However, I think many people not in my "inner circle" my think I'm very religious as I regularly refer to a variety of religious texts, many times to point out their own hypocrisies. I of course can not be certain of the origin of most religious text total truth or pure bull, they are not without their merits. Of course, these same individuals almost seemed shocked when or if they find my thoughts don't fall in line with their own.

I don't go around pushing my beliefs down others throats though as that would make me a supreme hypocrite, so to answer the original questions; no I don't find it important to let everyone know my beliefs. Even if you do come to my door trying to convert me, you still might not find I think you're fall of it, because I find it is much easier to encourage a religious individual to take a closer look at their own belief system if they don't see you as an "enemy" of sorts.

SNK- Crystalis for the win

I also loved all their top down shooters like Guerilla War and the Ikari series.
