Sorry if I was unclear, I meant the dlc could have all that stuff plus additional new achievements (I have the game too ;) I think it's worth $30 too, it's just a shame the perception that it's a download title in a retail box, the lingering stink of Elite (as SmilingPolitely pointed out), and the $50 initial price… Read more

It was a sales disappointment because they tried to soak people for $50. The console versions are loads of fun, especially with full 2v2 multiplayer. Read more

@HungerSTGF: No, he was right ;) (about piqued) Read more

The first paragraph has X-Com and Shining Force in it? Well hell, I guess I'm buying this then. Anyone ever play Incubation? (it was another space marines vs aliens type of tactics game). For its time (circa 1997) I remember it being a lot of fun. Read more

@Interstella5555: This game sounds really boreing Read more

Thanks; very informative article. It sounded really positive; I liked the one item about not listing the number of kills after a mp match. I always wondered whether if a game left that one simple number off players would be less focused on just getting kills and more focused on being a good team player and working… Read more

Has there been any word on how Brink is really shaping up? I've been looking forward to it for awhile; I like the ideas they are cooking up, I like the art style, etc. Read more

@ValeriaHeart: Yeah, no kidding. When I pre-ordered Super Street Fighter IV last year, I used the regular old free 'super saver' shipping which supposedly takes 5-9 days. But it showed up the day after release. I really feel like the 'launch day' expedited shipping' is a rip off. Read more

Stephen, I was waiting for the single-line voiceover at the end "Yeah, I got nothin'" Read more

@Squirrelbot3000: Me too! I have too much peggle and PvZ already, but I sprung for a copy of bookworm. Read more

I AM PSYCHED! Read more

@thesporkwithin: this was my question too. What if I filled the room with 20 cards? Read more

I wouldn't have a problem with it if it was just a clone. But from what the video showed, many elements seem directly copied, even down to the hunched posture of the 'undead' race and many of the spell effects, and item and scenery models. I wouldn't have been surprised to see a blizzard logo before this video rather… Read more

I love game intros that just grab you. I agree this one is pretty amazing. The last one I remember standing out was Civilization IV. I would listen to that intro song all the way through more than once while watching the spinning earth with the sun rising and setting over it - just amazing. Read more

Yeah, I had been greatly looking forward to TOR until the dam finally burst on all the Guild Wars 2 info last fall. Now I have no interest in TOR at all and am 100% focused on GW2. Granted this is a description of one mission by someone that is admittedly unfamiliar with the game genre, but it still sounded an awful… Read more

Because there are no multi-million dollar expectations on those projects. So every element isn't focus tested to death and made to appeal to the widest possible cross-section of consumers in order to try to get all the money back that you've paid those 200 people for the last 18-24 months during development. Read more

Well then Good News Everyone! Apparently it's the 1999 'episode 1' (aka whiny darth) that is getting the 3D treatment and not the real 1977 episode 1. So you didn't go to see the special editions in the theatrical releases either in like 1997? That was a good time. Everyone there knew the movies so well that the whole… Read more

Burger Time, Omega Race, Donkey Kong Jr. - staples of my old Colecovision. Read more

Heh, I thought that was Bobby Lee for a quick second. Name's TANK.. bayba bay buh! Read more

There is a lot of "explicitly" in that text. Are they using that term to try to sensationalize what is happening, or are they matter of factly writing it to make clear that the behavior being described is shown rather than implied? Read more
