I cannot tell if Tim Rogers' verbosity is being used for good or evil: to act as a metaphor for how bloated the game's story is, or to show off his inappropriate-for-this-article anecdotal writing style?

"To put it nicely, methodical. As a result, enthusiast gamers seemingly aren't jamming the pre-order lines to play once the game debuts next month."

Higher praise is difficult to imagine, imo..

That's right. It's an fps largely without twitch-killing, game-mechanical tactics, and strafing at running speeds, with 180 degree jumps into headshots.

So anyone who think fps-games are kind of lame - get the open beta from the PSN (the us should have it available now. The rest have to wait a bit longer) and download the game-data (2Gb). The game-servers open the 4th of january.

I can l put in a good word for you at SVER if you'd like.

@C22DBlueKnightOne: Do they ever release those 70"+ HDTVs? I mean Samsung announced some 102" Plasma in 2005 and it's nowhere to be found.

It's just one company 1-upping everyone else at the event. I care about products I can BUY, not the ones they show off!

CES has little to offer for gaming. Maybe one good day at the convention will provide every decent piece of gaming hardware and/or software coming up. I mean, I've set aside one day to check most of it out, and I've still got 4 free hours.

Then again, Capcom's got a huge showing, and Sony will have Gran Turismo 5 and a few other unreleased games playable.

And if I'm lucky, Microsoft and Sony will have Natal and the magic wand available for testing. Wouldn't that be swell.

I'll never buy a MadCatz product again after one of their PSX memory cards killed a precious save file.

That and everything they make looks like, well, it looks third party. Logitech is the one company that makes good looking accessories.

A. CES Fever! Catch it!, pounding the carpet, odd porn star run-in.

@Michael Dukakis: I'm sure you guys remember which other expo is happening at the same time and place. The real reason for having extra staff on location is pretty obvious... but it would have been better if they got Bashcraft for the maximum risky.

For some reason, I thought it was the following week ... wow, that's coming up quick. Personally, I'm not expecting any huge gaming news ... but I'm hoping for some new e-reader announcements. Maybe a cool tablet ...

"...they also got an inaccurate Alanis song stuck in my head."

It's sort of accurate if you take into consideration the irony of a song called "Ironic" listing a bunch of things that aren't ironic as its definitions of the term. I'm not sure if I want to give Alanis Morisette that much credit, though.

"Ironic" aside, "Jagged Little Pill" was still one of the better albums to come out of the nineties.

I thought Luke said the main issues was with with South Australia's Attorney General Michael Atkinson and his refusal to support an amendment for the classification laws.

Then again, SA is the same place where you can legally kill a kangaroo but you can't harvest any part of it. You can still buy kangaroo goods and meat within SA, but only if it's been harvest and imported from another state.

Strange....

I just got FIFA 10 and really have no idea what I'm doing, but it's pretty fun!

I guess these days I play games and expect to know everything. I've forgotten the days where I popped in a game and I was clueless, everything was new, and I loved it.

I should embrace my confusion I guess.
