It's a bit tough to call Alan Wake a cult classic when considering the improved sales since its arrival on PC. Perhaps the "was, is, always will be" mentality works here.
In any case, it's great to see recognition given to one of my favorite games in recent memory.
Sheesh...there's quite a list of other Cult Classics on GI. I remember hearing about this game, but forgot to keep this on my radar when it released. Don't think I've even looked at any review for it.
Well...hot dog! Had I known that's the special prize you wanted, I would have told you ages ago I have to go through a stage of face-slapping before Cat would ever cough up my winnings.
Since you been given that prize numerous times already, that disqualifies you from getting the super special prize. >:)
Ready to sweeten the deal, eh? :P

Are you suggesting my new profile pic looks fat?!?!
Here's to more blogs/reviews with great discussions. I predict an approved blog won't stay on the front page for more than 24 hours when E3 rolls around...and Mezzo being $100 richer when June's over.
"That game was so underrated. It was like, cod4 in ww2."
It has a pretty nice score (for major platforms) on metacritic. And I'm not going to forget how Veteran's difficulty was changed from being somewhat-difficult/challenging in earlier CoD titles to unfair in WaW thanks to grenade-happy AI.
A pretty good list of the popular retail titles, but c'mon IGN...
"The Elderscroll V: Skyrim" (currently)
...really?
I'd add the likes of Alan Wake, Warhawk, and...eh, I'll edit some others in later.
Edit:
LittleBigPlanet
The Orange Box (if you haven't tried some of those out yet)
Rainbow Six: Vegas
To this day, I can't figure out why Enslaved is this cult classic upheld in so many articles. It was certainly a fun romp 2/3's of the time that had great qualities, but fell under the 'jack of all trades, king of none' gameplay with problematic moments in level design. Even when Enslaved's greatest qualities are out-shined by Heavenly Sword (not by a whole lot but enough to notice), HS is still brought up less often.
(I recognize in this case talking ab...
Haha That's a good way to put it.

When it comes to the retailer/publisher feud:
Some have come out to admit all the major retailers hold them by the...well...you know and demand some sort of pre-order DLC or face them not purchasing as many copies or giving it attention. Koch Media came out with that after some gaming journalists asked why they couldn't renege on the whole Ranger Mode DLC.
"tin foil hattery"
Has a nice ring to it. :P
Like others have stated already, anyone worried about spying from a camera with a mandatory hook-up to play on X1 shouldn't be grouped with the black helicopter crowd. In fact, I'd consider it more strange if the majority didn't fret over this subject, especially since MS has done some shady stuff regarding privacy in the past.
It's a shame more details weren't given about Quantum Break's concept at the darn conference--considering how often the word 'TV' was uttered. This is the only other tidbit I could find on it: http://www.theverge.com/201...
Even then, no one can really call that "innovative," especially if they've seen the plethora of Defiance reviews t...

Ninty will find a way to make it a reality.
Yeah, strange to see him missing. I recall some games even noting his reviews in quotes.
I must be one of those rare people that finds UC3 to be a better game than 2. :/
As opposed to not paying for a used game in a shop?

I can guarantee you "no indie support whatsoever" won't be the case--since MS technically owns an indie studio like Twisted Pixel (maybe more). Even now, I can't think of any titles I've purchased on XBLA that don't have a publisher behind them. Even I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MBIES 1N IT!!!1 was published by Ska Studios.
Nevertheless, it is stupid to have some archaic, over-reaching viewpoint regarding self-publishing w...
Current news regarding Xbox One's policies for indies make it impossible, not just harder, for them to self publish.
Why? Given what Ted Price has stated, Fuse is their least-changed vision from all of their popular series since leaving Spyro. Overstrike wasn't really much different than this.
