Don't be a pretentious jerk

I had a feeling it was gonna be a half-arsed list, hence my half-arsed attention.

If you're gonna publish a list-video of upcoming games at least try and include MOST of the highly anticipated titles. The whole video was like a cut and paste from VGA trailers, lazy journalism at best.

Was Killzone 3 on that list? I was only half watching ¬_¬

If the writer of the artice had his way Arkham City would look like this:

I'm doing the free trial right now. So far it's pretty impressive, nice UI and not a single video stutter or buff yet. The selection of movies that you can stream changes periodically but sometime when browsing for movies I tend to see the same few pop up over and over, which suggests to me that the library might not be as expansive as I first thought. However any movie you can't stream can be rented on DVD/Bluray and when my free period ends I think I'll sign up for a game...

Don't the Army use control pads to fly spy drones? This is still pretty nifty, Kinect has some cool hacks.

Wow, just wow, this entire 'blog' was just copied and pasted from here:

No offense intended here but do you feel proud? Putting aside the possibility you are the ACTUAL author of the original text, let's have a little look at the psychological reasoning behind doing something like this...

Anyone know if this is available in the EU/UK too?

I was hoping for core titles but I looked at the studio's history:

Monopoly – SpongeBob SquarePants Edition
Where’s Waldo? The Fantastic Journey
Dora’s Lost and Found Adventure

I'll keep waiting to see how the Star Wars game turns out before I fork out for Kinect.

You've officially gone into SPAM overload. Why aren't the mods awake?

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't we already have Apps on consoles?

Lovefilm, netflix, Internet browser, bbc iplayer, GAMES etc. App IS short for application right? Am I missing something? Is there a point to this article that I'm just not seeing? Help me out here.

Anyway here's some 'apps' I think would be nice on consoles:

Google maps (including route planner etc), Calender, calculator (not sure why you'd need t...

It's this kind of friendly in-house rivalry that breeds the special kind of creativity and inspiration that made Uncharted 2 so great. Don't mean to sound too cheesy but it warms my heart to know there's developers out there trying to create a game to the highest standard possible. Makes a change from all the yearly updated sports sims and generic military shooters.

Studios like these are the beating heart of gaming and their passion doesn't always get rewar...

These pretentious, self-righteous pr!cks are more likely to be unaware of the line between fiction and reality than any gamer. They are looking for a scapegoat for societies problems, which detracts from those who actually want to solve the real issues: poverty, war, education, the justice system... you know, all the things that have been around a thousand years before the concept of gaming was even a remote twinkle in the corner of humanities eye.

It makes me sick to my sto...

"As the lunch date of the most anticipated racing game of the decade gets closer..."

Lunch date? Awesome, I'm hungry for some racing action!

Their source is a video that some kid posted to youtube. Just because this person hasn't discovered how to turn off the HUD is not confirmation that you cannot do it altogether.

Does anyone recall if you could turn off the HUD in GT5:P? If you can then I'd safely bet that it's possible in GT5 too.

Xbox sells more in the US/UK does that make us bias against Eastern consoles?

No, no it doesn't.

Edit: @Rush yeah I know, I'm from the UK, I myself have owned 3 X360s. Back in 2006/7 Xbox simply had better games, so I dunno if it was ONLY the price that made it sell but I agree it certainly helped.

Someone spilled awesome sauce all over this trailer!

I hooked up with a girl once that had a 30 rated bush o_0

OT: I dunno about anyone else but I got the impression that they were angling to delay the game maybe. Well as long as I don't see any 30 rated shrubbery come launch day I'll be happy :D

This is shameless damage control from x360magazine.

Nowhere have I heard anyone saying these features were new, they are missing the obvious point that no game has them ALL and at such a high level of quality.

Is the writer trying to convince his readers not to buy Gran Turismo... or himself?

Picked up the HTC WD7 with WP7...

returned it within the 7 days cooling off period.

It crashed 6-7 times and had a weird flashy windows logo problem around the edges of the screen. The app scene was pretty much barren, there's no flash support or even cut/copy/paste! It just felt unfinished.

Have ordered the HTC Desire HD (the Android equivalent), pretty disappointed as I was looking forward to having XBL on my phone. Maybe second/thir...
