Awesomesauce; I'm so not going to buy three copies.
I laughed more during one hour of Grand Theft Auto IV than I have in the past 10 years of SNL.
I reckon I'll purchase the original (I'd like to own it) and this at the same time, and play them back to back.
Maybe I'll have some friends over, and make it a sort of weekend long festival of hobo killing.
They lied about EA's product, on national television no less.
I say sue the shit out of 'em; teach them that they need to do their homework before making claims about any product.
My condolences; may he rest in peace.
And, interestingly, those ads in GI are for RFOM 1.
Turn the page next time and there will be a spread for it.
Would you kindly shut the hell up? I know that sounds crazy, seeing as how you occasionally give out information, that is, well, informative, but I'm gradually learning that what you are doing is absolutely horrible for the industry, and horrible for the gamers that fuel the industry.
You hand out spoilers to major games like candy (see Resistance 2: Rise of Man), you ruin major game announcements months before they are supposed to happen, and you generally just take whatever info you can get from wherever you can get it and throw it out to the internet without a care in the world.
Here's a question for you Surfer Girl: What about the devs, huh? Have you ever considered the fact that there are huge teams of men and women who are devoting 2 years or so of their lives to a video game's creation?
Have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe, those devs would like to chance to reveal the fruits of their labor themselves without some blogger ruining the suprise for everyone?
Have you ever thought of the fact that you revealing the secrets of their games undercuts all of their hard work and effort, and renders a great deal of their anticipation for he big reveal completely null and void?
Have you ever thought that revealing spoilers for games like RROM is stupid, irresponsible and mean?
And what about the gamers? Maybe we'd like a big suprise announcment like what Blizzard did with SC2, maybe we'd like to hear about the game when the company wants us to hear about it, have you thought of that?
You consider yourself to be some sort of anti-establishment figure who switches from talking about games to talking about politics every five seconds, but in all reality, you are just some asshat blogger who has no respect for game companies and the hours upon hours of effort they put into making something cool for us, the gamers.
You are a disgusting parasite; the absolute culmination of irresponsibility and uncaring ignorance and I despise everything about the way that you are.
So please, for the sake of gaming as a whole, shut the hell up.

I would just as soon sell my left ass cheek to get an advance copy of Fusion Frenzy 3.
And you know what? EA's cowardice in this matter infuriates me.
I hereby announce that I am refusing to buy another EA developed video game until they reinstate this website and/or create a similar advertising campaign for another game (it must feature breasts).
You hear that EA? You just lost my custom! Let's see a small time company like you try and survive without the cash given to you by me and my 30 friends!
You just lost big time monies you puritan bastards! Do you hear me? You just lost BIG TIME MONIES!!!
Sweet baby Jebus, when did this happen?!?!
And to those of you who are (for whatever reason) collectively sucking Wal-Mart's tit right now with your comments of sympathy, I ask you this:
What did that bastard smiley face ever do for the common man, other than slashing prices on shitty clothing?
Also, I would buy some crutches for my crippled nephew.
Did I mention that my dog has down syndrome, and needs a new brain?
I am sold. Absolute insanity from the mind of Tim Schafer once more.
Day one purchase.
