I've been playing it some and have been having fun with it. I've only tried Wake Racing (which I've gotten rather good at) and Climbing (which has been a heckuva work-out on my weak arms). I'm getting ready to try Bowling, which is the main reason I bought the game, because I'm hoping it's something my 6 year old can play (she loved it so much in Kinect Sports 1 on Xbox 360).
It is awesome, but it's like the Justin Bieber of Hitman games. Talented musician who sells a lot of music, but generally hated compared to others, because that's the cool thing to do.
That said, as awesome as it is, it is legit not as good as Hitman: Blood Money.
I'd like to see the sequel centered more around Ellie. I liked Joel, but just to add some shock, I'd kill him off in the first act after Ellie learns the truth. I've been watching a lot of Game Of Thrones lately, so I think it would be cool if somewhere along the way Ellie gets a pet wolf, which acts as a second protective character. If Naughty Dog plays it's cards right, Ellie could be this generations Lara Croft.

Dead Island hasn't been on PS+ yet as a freebie, but I got the Game Of The Year edition through PS+ for $5.
$5 for the game and extra content beats the standard version being free on Xbox.
Buying it Day One off of Xbox Live if I have enough room on my HDD after I download the Dead Rising 3 patch.
Why would you want to cancel? If you paid for a year, you already got your money back with BioShock Infinite and Devil May Cry.. and that's just PART of what we got this month. Just imagine what's to come over the course of the next 11 months.
I thought I read not too long ago that the next Hitman was cancelled.

Get yourself a copy of Blood Money. If you liked Absolution, you'll absolutely LOVE Blood Money.
The Vudu app does something similiar. I can be watching a movie on Vudu and when the wife walks into the room, the Xbox One will recognize her and take me out to the app's main screen. VERY annoying!!!
That's what I want to know, too. I don't have as much time to game as I'd like, so I didn't get too far into GTAV before I got a PS4 and Xbox One. My PS3 (that I moved into another room to make room for the new consoles) with it's digital copy of GTAV is now collecting dust.
More like Game Of The Launch winner. But whatever the case, Assassin's Creed IV is awesome. I have it for PS4 and it would have been my pick. I only have Dead Rising 3 and Peggle 2 on Xbox One.
Great game. Great for small kids, too. I bought it for my 6 year old and she's had no problem playing it.
Turned mine on this morning.. and I saw a black screen w/ a progress bar in the middle of it updating. Then it went to the "green screen of death", stayed there for about 2 minutes before finally going to the UI.
Microsoft really needs to do something about that "green screen", because the average person would think their console has frozen. I've dealt with it before when I first got my Xbox One, so I knew what to expect.
*sigh* This again?
My wife filmed our daughter doing the Chicken Dance with some generic, Chicken Dance music in the background from some super old kids show and YouTube took down the video for copyright violations.
I'd hate to imagine what they might do if you happen to have a McDonald's cup sitting on a table in the background of your video.
I dunno about gamers sometimes. It's like, give us a new Batman: Arkham game, but then they get one and then complain because it's similar to other Batman: Arkham games and isn't something completely new, completely different. That's like saying, I'm not going to go see the new Hobbit movie, because it looks just like the previous Hobbit movie. I wanted it to be a cartoon or a musical.
It didn't go wrong. Arkham Origins is an awesome addition to the Batman: Arkham series. I was on the fence about it myself until I actually played it.. and I enjoyed the hell out of it. Haters gonna hate, though.
Great game, but with so much other stuff out there right now, I have no desire to revisit it just yet. Plus, the game ran a bit too long. Normally that's not an issue, but at a certain point that I thought the game was done and over, I realize I was only halfway through it and the 2nd half wasn't as well done as the 1st half.
Probably because I said the X word.
I'm pretty sure that was Robb Stark, not Tyrion Lanister.
