Leonardo DaVinci in the Assassin's Creed 2 games is very obscurely shown as 'liking Ezio as more than just friends'; a reference to his real-life indecency arrest and widespread scholarly speculation that he was gay. He is far from a main character though. Read more

@d4rk-h4x0rer: This is where I am too. I've been intrigued by everything they have released about the game, going back to the first reveals last year. But I'm just really worried about how it will all 'feel' and come together. Read more
Right. I'm sure it's not that there aren't any big-name games for it yet (sorry being a 5th platform for SSFIV doesn't count) or that it costs $250. Or that all reviews of the system say that the 3D is a neat gimmick but doesn't add much to the games with it and usually gets slid down to zero. Read more
Wow, just watched the full 720 version. I usually try to hold off on new games when they first come out and wait to snag them $20-30 off, but in this case I just don't think I can do that. If the SP looks like this the multiplayer is going to be totally bananas. Read more
@Paradox me: Kind of interesting. They seem to be on a real kick about messing with the way we control games - each gen produces another little wrinkle. It seems like one of those things that would just get used in a limited fashion - like maybe selecting inventory items or like the hacking minigames in Mass Effect,… Read more
@Bubbleman! gets the Lead out.: Holy cow, no kidding. I remember last year watching Kotaku as one story after another kept breaking about Nintendo (mostly 3ds stories). Nintendo just sucked all the air out of this E3 too. Sony might be able to get a little attention with the ngp, but MS? No chance in the world - what… Read more
Definitely a lot of nice deals here. I'll be picking up ilomilo myself - the kids have been clamoring for it and still re-play the demo. Obviously if you don't have trials, castle crashers, shadow complex, bc:rearmed or mnc - those are great deals. Read more
So I'm going to watch this now, but I'll be disappointed if they don't have some Eternal Champions fatalities from the Sega CD version. Read more
@dangermouse76: I thought recently what a crazy world we are living in. Ads these days try to get people to 'friend' their favorite companies. Read more
I got excited for a second about that Amazon deal but it looks like it's only on 'select' games (so about 30 to choose from) instead of all games. Read more
Any time I play any tracks from the Beastie Boys "Hello Nasty" I always think of the Dreamcast days. I had that album in heavy rotation back in 1999. And it always makes me think of Soul Calibur 2 and smile. Read more
@Nexus6: I could never get into MC:LA, but I'll tell you what, Forza 3 has been the only racing game in a long long time that I've really been able to dive into and love (my last was Metropolis Street Racer on my dreamcast). They nailed the feeling of driving in first-person perspective, the game is flat out… Read more
I know everyone gets the steamin undies for Freespace but I'd be much more interested in a proper Descent game again. Descent and especially Descent II have such a great place in my heart (descent 3-well it was ok) Read more
I understand your pique! Read more
