    @pandafresh: I am all for that remaining 5% chance.

    I loved 24 (though it should be have been done by ubi on the chaos theory engine or redone using Conviction as a starting platform).

    I loved the xbox original Buffy the vampire Slayer - even with crappy voice overs there were lots of cool ways to kill the vamps.

    I still haven't played SHIELD but I want to.

    Goldeneye, Spiderman: 2, Lord of the Rings (360 strategy one) all rocked.

    Sure Lost fucking sucked, the second Buffy was a step back, the and most movies games are only slightly entertaining with big flaws but at least I care about the characters and find something about them fun. Batman looks pretty damn good, people liked Ghostbusters and Wolverine, UFC, Smackdown, FIFA, Madden, NHL, are among some of the best games of this generation.

    Maybe licensed material is on the up. Then of course you play Lost Via Domus and cringe.

    @jamonkimbrough: actually, IMHO season 1 was great. Season 2 sucked! and season 3 was trying too hard, even though they were really doing a prison break. Season 4 was OK, basically because of scoffields plans.

    @BlisteringOrange: I think season 2 was by far the best but my favorite episode is the first one in season 3 where it Michael has that fight and Mahon jumps in for him cos "we must have rules".

    Season 4 was rushed to hell and had the bleed story tacked on which was a shame. Still entertaining though/

    I don't understand how this even made it as a show. How long can you seriously drag on the concept of breaking out of prison>? Am I right to assume they simply abandoned that a few episodes in?

    Oooohhhh SNAP! Fox News is going to have a fucking field day with this game. Sex, drugs, violence, profanity, cop killings, etc it has all the things a child wants to play.
    There is no way Prison Break can get away from Fox's wrath.

    In true prison break style, this should be a game about a space marine fighting aliens. Possibly with some space combat sections.

    Quite nice to see, it's one of the few puzzle games I've ever been able to play for more then a first try (Scotland Yard is the other).

    Now to have it on the go? Multiplayer to introduce other people to? Good times shall be had by many, even if I have to force them to try it out.

    Not having a 360, this is GREAT news. Plus, DS is the only video gaming I can get the g/f to do, so I'll get two copies.

    I wish they'd put in the other expansions. And fix the scoring in the XBLA version, 2-tile cities are meant to be worth two points, not four.


    As someone who plays the actual board games regularly, I can't stand going back to Vanilla Carcassonne having played with expansions. On its own the game is short, overly reliant on luck, and not very strategic. It doesn't really shine until you're playing with at least one of the river expansions, Traders & Builders, Inns and Cathedrals and the extra interesting tiles from King and Scout. Abbey & Mayor and an added river (with some revised rules that place both endings and the fork into the mix, so that the river ends when one or both end pieces are drawn depending on whether the fork comes out) add even more strategic value to the game.

    That's the American rules set, which has been available in the XBLA version since release I believe. Check your options.

    Hopefully it'll have more than just the River expansion, and hopefully it'll have game-sharing multiplayer (but I doubt that part). Carcassonne was the first European board game I played, and it really got me into them big time.


    Now, when are we gonna see Dominion, Race for the Galaxy, and Arkham Horror on consoles?

    @JZeitler: I'd love to see Zertz myself. I'm disappointed that Carcassonne doesn't support more expansions, particularly Inns & Cathedrals. It's still an excellent port, but the game's been out for quite some time now, and I don't see why it wouldn't be offered.
