Hopefully the game plays well because the only interesting thing about the art direction is that it manages to somehow look even more "generic FPS" than I thought was possible. Read more

@Cufo: Funny you should mention Jazz Jackrabbit. Dean Dodrill (the creator of this game) was the main artist for Jazz Jackrabbit 2. Read more

Very impressive. I wondered what Dean Dodrill has been up since Jazz Jackrabbit 2. Read more

All the stuff about your gamer icon in the upper right is already in the current dashboard unless I somehow got updated without knowing before they even sent it to the press... Read more

Software patents are one of the dumbest fucking legal constructs in the history of mankind. Hopefully our wonderful lawmakers in Washington will figure this out before it's too late, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. Read more

Lame, I want a way for my current character to switch sides. Not just a new version of them with a crappy race :( Read more

Why isn't there a news post about Twitter integration? This is one of the most revolutionary things in the history of gaming! Read more

While I'm not a fan of Windows 7's default grouping/stack window management mode, setting it to run in the "classic" style (no grouping, small icons) makes it work like a prettier version Taskbar Shuffle. The only thing you can't do is reorder windows in a particular group, which is actually probably a good thing… Read more

ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccckkkk... yesssssssssssssssssss Read more

This is the best news I've heard in years! Read more

Those both look awful :( Read more

With Square's performance lately I keep expecting the worst. Everything I've seen of this game, however, looks otherwise. I'm stoked. The US release can't come soon enough. Read more

You're allowed to carry around a gun, but not freaking brass knuckles? Sometimes I absolutely hate this country. Read more

@mat1cs: I got that thing he sent me.: MMO's by Funcom turn me off. It does look cool, but Funcom has a terrible track record. Read more

@Tim Chu: I don't think most of the people here are bashing the Chinese People, just their government and in that respect it's well deserved. Government-wise, China is a horrible, horrible country. Read more
