Any thoughts on this one?

A failed attempt at a new franchise.

Screw that marketing lingo. Morris is talking about the game itself.

It's a game that has a better sense of movement than any 3D game I think I've experienced. Its levels are perhaps just a bit imperfect, and the sheer amount of times you have to die because cops are constantly shooting you is a little, perhaps, ill-conceived. But the time trials mode is where the game really sings. In that area, I think it is, in fact, a great game.

I can see how attempting to set a new record could be tons of fun so I will certainly try that.

Started Alan Wake. Digging it, although I hope the villains get a little tougher. Same with the puzzles.

Monster Hunter 3 is very fun so far. Can't wait to get to a boss.

Just started up Nier today. It's pretty neat so far.

The new Scott Pilgrim game is awesome. Too bad it's not online.

Playing Yakuza with yakuza

M: Kiryu is the way yakuza used to be. We kept the streets clean. People liked us. We didn't bother ordinary citizens. We respected our bosses. Now, guys like that only exist in video games.
S: I don't know any ex-yakuza running orphanages.
K: There was one a few years ago. A good guy.
M: You sure it wasn't just a tax shelter?
K: Sure it was a tax shelter but he ran it like a legitimate thing. You know.

I'm stunned at how enjoyable Batman: Arkham Asylum is so far.

No, Sega announced Yakuza 4 is coming out next spring a few months ago. Allegedly, it won't have as much cut out.

Is it actually going to be set in that flying city? If so, neat.

Haven't played Bioshock 2 yet. Is it worth playing? The plot sounded kind of lazy.

No. If you played the first you played the 2nd.

I creamed my pants watching that "Bioshock: Infinite" trailer.

Man oh man. 2012 can't come soon enough for so, so many reasons.

Are we still allowed to make 2012 end of the world jokes? Alternatively, are we now allowed to make 2012 end of the world jokes ironically?

KK2.0

got Scott Pilgrim and Deathspank, both are great.

i´m surprised how easy SP becomes when playing coop, had several game-overs before the first boss playing solo. At first i was a bit annoyed at how sluggish it felt, but as soon as i started upgrading things got more fluid and fun, but i still getting my ass kicked though (playing on normal).

first Deus Ex gameplay
