Steam.

100% agree with this.

Which brings up another question. Would you guys format your hard drive when you sell your console? I guess smart answer says "yes", but what if in the future the xbox one becomes backwards compatible? Will the xbla games i purchased years earlier for the xbox 360 be waiting for me somewhere? Cloud? Microsoft servers? I'm asking this because i understood that wiping your hard drive means your account is still stored on the MS servers for access later.

There will never be a backwards compatible future console. It's how they want you to re-buy games going forward via XBL and PSN.

Hey Morris, there's a free update for HL2 on Steam; just letting you know in case you end up going that route. It improves the lighting and other elements. Came out recently. I can't give firsthand impressions because I'm still waiting for a sale to repurchase HL2 so I can finally play it again.

Hey thanks. I read about it, but I'm ok for the moment. I still have my 360 anyway and although a free update is certainly never a bad thing, I'm more dissapointed that Half-Life: Black Mesa is still unfinished.

Let's hope for an all-in-one Half-Life pack in full HD for PS4 or Xbox One.

Looking at Steam, I spent over 50+ hours playing Human Revolution- and it remains in my top 10 hours spent on games since 2000 (even with all the criticisms I had)

I also recently picked up the Director's Cut of the game, so I think I'll dive into it before MD comes out. I guess I'll play them both.

But will there be air ducts?

He sure looks badass in that trailer. I don't ever recall dispatching villains with quite such grace and efficacity in the actual game though. Still, good game, but not as memorable as 2000 Deus Ex.

Nothing will ever be as memorable as 2000 Deus Ex.

Morris, Orange Box was on PS3 as well. ;)

So after Bloodborne.... I think Sony is really grasping at straws on what to release next...

There's a rumor for a Sept listing of Uncharted The Remastered Trilogy .

I'm trying to decide if I would replay that... I think the answer is yes.

There are other games besides Bloodborne?

That's gonna get sold even sooner than the xbox 360. :D

In other news, because it's that time of the year again, Activision has teased Call of Duty: Black Ops III.

No one cares about COD.

Clearly, since it's like the biggest selling game franchise of all time.

It's no GTA and it's no Mario.

I'll pretty much always have a PS3 for Demon's Souls and Dark Souls.

I'd pay SO much money to gave those remastered on PS4.
