Wow, I am in exactly the same boat. Last summer I was heavily shifted towards pc gaming. But after the fall releases started hitting (starting with Gears of War 3) I've been back to the 360 at least half the time. Read more

Torn. Very torn. I have to assume I'll be able to get the soundtrack (total Jeremy Soule fanboy) separately, these artbooks usually get looked at once and tossed, and I'm not crazy about the figure (wish it was something other than charr). Prrrrrobably going to stick with just the basic version of the game. Hmmm.… Read more
Looks like a fast paced minis combat game. That's good, because those take forever to play out on the tabletop. I like how the movement circle contracts as you move your unit; that's a really nice touch. Also nice strategic touches about eating skulls of fallen enemies, controlling resource spots to summon new units;… Read more
That is exactly why I got into Forza 4 so much but haven't been able to get into any other non-arcadey type racing games. The cars just feel right and respond perfectly. If you fishtail or spin out or take a turn too fast, you had completely control and it's your own fault. But those times you nail a turn just right… Read more
Happy birthday and I hope you love Forza 4. I found it really amazing, especially because I like spending so much time in the decal and car design areas. Of course the racing is great too ;) Read more
This is good news. Now they can get to work on making a nextbox/720 Gears launch title. C'mon, you know they have the dev boxes - hell epic can practically tell ms what they want the specs to be. Read more
Holy cow, no kidding! From reading online people are losing their minds about these doritos tacos. I finally caved and went back to taco bell for the first time in over a year and I found them very unremarkable. Read more
I think we are altering the power level of the machine by trying to measure it. Read more
I played rock band 3 just yesterday. There are still people whose drum sets aren't gathering dust! Read more
Nope, conceit works there too. Read more
Also available for Wii — SHHIINK! hilarious! Also, running in circles, sitting on a bench; very funny. Nice build up to the jokes; very well done. Read more
Well, I kind of was just poking fun at the fact that they want you to preorder a $450 bundle in order to get one playable character for one game more than that specific character. I don't have a problem with Kit Fisto per se - he's the green bug-eyed guy with the head tentacles, right? I guess he's the coolest-seeming… Read more
I agree! And my deluxe translation of Dragon Force for the Sega Saturn with fancy shiny embossed cover is the proof! Read more
Well, those aren't all Ultimate games I listed; just the zx spectrum games I remember the most ;) But yeah, Ultimate/Rare used to be good as gold. Read more
Holy crap, this is amazing! I lived in the UK in the mid 80s, right in the middle of the ZX Spectrum vs commodore vs BBC pc warfare. Man, those were the days - Starquake, jet set willy, Dynamite Dan, saboteur, Cauldron, Quazitron. Massive nostalgia rush! Thanks Rare (previously known as Ultimate in those days)! Read more
Well you can have a job at that age (I had a paper route at 12, and mall stores and fast food places hire high school kids too) but this sounded like more of a financial/business partnership than an after school job. I know you can't get a credit card or sign a lease or anything like that until you are 18 (again, in… Read more
So is it legal to make a contract with a minor in other countries? I know minors in the US cannot sign contracts; their parent or guardian has to do it. Read more

This dims my ardor for the new Sim City game ever so slightly. But then I listened to this - took me right back to 1999! Reticulating splines!
If there is one think I like, it's thinging about my place in the world. Read more
