@Brodka: regrettably: Didn't they say the current wii remotes would work on it though? I'd imagine this would be the deluxe controller and you wouldn't need more than one. I can't imagine they would think a family would plunk down the money to have 4 of these monsters (hell it costs enough already just to have… Read more

Psyched and psyched! I thought we'd have to wait until november - getting rolling in the beta in just 4 months is an exciting prospect. Read more

@TheHeeyyy: Honestly, the game console angle was just their entry vector into living rooms across the world. They are on phase 2 now: broadening the userbase using Kinect and beginning to position it as a service delivery agent (like a cable box but it can also play games, netflix, twitter etc). Read more

@PajamaSam: That could be a whole minigame, like dance central! Like with the icons scrolling down the side of the various moves to make. Read more

@SG-17: Halo 6: Finish the fight: The new fight, not the old fight. That fight was finished already. Read more

Until the new xbox is ready to be announced I don't think MS will have much to say that really gets us kotaku-types fired up. It is obvious that their focus now is on broadening the user base by pushing the kinect and non-gaming services angle (espn, last.fm, soon-to-be-announced xbox tv subscriptions). Read more

@thaKingRocka: Yeah, it says it doesn't work with windows 7 but the steam forum is full of people saying it works fine. So for $2.50, if you are at all interested, it's worth taking a shot even if you have win7. Read more

I bought a wingman EXTREME! just to play Descent and Descent 2. Used to play with roommates on a new-fangled in-house network we set up through the parallel ports on our pcs, and I used the editor extensively to make some great homemade levels. The music was freaking incredible (still is) and when I installed the 3dfx… Read more

@milford: I still have some of the music from the Descent 2 soundtrack on my playlist. Still so amazing, even today. Read more

@Grumpz®, knifin' around... cut cut cut cut cut: Yeah, I don't think the developers are including it as a wry commentary on the futility of life's efforts or some kind of nihilist philosophy. It kind of just strikes me as a lazy crutch to add "drama" to a story. Read more

@GregtheMad: I assume the mighty gawker media empire has an article management system that has a date and time for each article to appear. Many articles can be written and then automatically published later, or even without a 'publish' timestamp assigned. Read more

@SanjiX: Ok, the last line actually got a real life laugh out of me. Well played! Read more

@galm666: To be fair, it's not that different of a corporate philosophy than other game companies or other industries (anyone going to see the fourth pirates of the Caribbean movie this weekend?) Read more

@黒人: Don't forget to add eye-searing 3D visual effects! Read more

How was this video uploaded to the internet? I assume everyone that was watching had their faces melted raiders-of-the-lost-ark style as they stared, transfixed by the electric beauty. Read more

This is interesting. I've had disc read problems since about January. I assumed it was just a gunked up lens or drive mechanism and since it was out of warranty I just bought a new 360 a week or so ago. Read more

Let's hear a 3 sentence pitch for your dream game! Read more

@Gambit09: Thanks for writing that. I pre-ordered it earlier today as well but I must have missed the 99 cent release date delivery. I had it on free super saver but just went and changed it to release date for 99 cents - well worth it! Read more

A story so nice he had to write it twice ;) Read more
