Ha, no I hadn't seen that. Nice. Read more

Understandable. It's really good, I'd say easily worth that much money, but it'll be just as good in a little while when you can get it for cheaper. Read more
Ha, I remember this one! Was there a quest like that in Skyrim, or am I imagining things? Read more
Definitely one of the best ones. Especially in Arkham Asylum, when no one saw it coming. Best of all, it wasn't just trippy, it let us see a bit into Bruce Wayne's past and soul.... never fun, but always interesting. Read more
Have you (or anyone else reading) had a chance to really dig into the streaming stuff? I love the idea but haven't tried it yet, curious to know how it works in the wild. Read more
In addition to Madsen, another piece of cool casting information I hadn't realized—Scott Porter, aka Jason Street from Friday Night Lights, plays Luke. He's good, too. I remember seeing him at a Microsoft press event at E3 a few years ago, playing Gears of War: Judgment. Texas forever, Street. Read more
Episode two does give the notion that they're chewing on a bigger theme this time around—family—and that makes me hopeful that it'll come together into something coherent by the end of the last episode. We'll see! Read more
I played on a middle of the road system - Radeon 6870, 8GB of RAM and an i5 3.4Ghz. FWIW, my experience was pretty much fine - smooth framerate, no real hitching. I had a couple of crashes but only the one time had that consistent crash where I had to skip the cutscene. (Annoying, but not the end of the world.) Other… Read more
It's not a complete solution - Xbox One has several more audio hurdles to get over before it'll match the 360 or even the PS4—they really need to add USB microphone support, for example. We'll be doing a more in-depth analysis/comparison of the audio options once the final update and all the new headphone/adapter… Read more
Nah, I don't hate Thief. I didn't like it, but that's not the same thing. And I liked this loading screen! It's completely bonkers, but in a good way. It actually made me laugh, which is more than I can say for pretty much anything else in Thief. Read more
Nice, this is a good one! Read more
It's been raining in San Francisco and so I've been listening to this song. What a song. Read more
It is! Read more

Chroma also plays with how you move in an FPS and how that can be tweaked with music. You can jump, run and sprint, as you'd expect. But you can also jump higher if you jump on the level-music's downbeat and you can sprint further, on the downbeat, once per measure. There are also jump pads. If you jump on them on the… Read more
Sakura rules, though yeah, she looks about 40. And she's got a completely different art style than the other characters, so she looks like a refugee from some other game. Read more
I mean unless you're 10 or something, then maybe hold off a few years. Read more
Nah just see it, it's good. Read more
("The Game" here being the game within the game, the killing game that the characters are all being forced to play.) Read more
Those are the rules set forth in the game - without spoiling too much, the people in charge of the game do elaborate executions of students who are found guilty. (Or, if you screw up, for the entire cast of characters EXCEPT the guilty one.) Read more
