Silly..
Why would anyone have to give you a reason to like ANY Video game or character. Either you want to play it or not. If you play it it's your opinion if your care.
For the rest of the millions and millions of Halo fans including me..trust me THEY care and that's all that matters.

Gamers didnt support those shows anyways. There is no unity in gaming anymore. If there was ever an article about that station it was always negative responses that ruled the day.
It was inevitable that the ratings would plummet. Because the average gamer never knew when to actually catch the shows the liked. It was always repeats of 'Ninja' etc. As a whole gaming is divisive. No one even cared about Adam until he left. People whined about Kevin until he left. Everyo...

I'm going to keep it 100% real..
'Some loves to tout about how Kinect eclipsed the ps move but in my eyes that is what lead to a negative effect against core gamers. Kinect games take more precedents over core games.'
Here are the facts: Kinect did outsell Move (I bought both when they first launched) but it is simply fiction to pretend that Kinect games take precedence over HARDCORE 360 games.
The holid...
oops
LOL @ people pretending that some ridiculous amount of Halo fans thought Reach was a horrible game.
I beat Reach in Normal to get through it fast so I could play Multi. But, Reach on Legendary was F-ing LEGENDARY.
The ambition of the multiplayer STILL hasnt been touched by ANY game thus far.
Until maybe now.
NOBODY still touches the quality of the matchmaking, Forge or Theater on consoles alone.
Bungie threw ...
LOL..the title makes it seem like the author know anything more than the rest of us.
We all see the patent names and know the same rumors reported here. But, none of it matters until the final name is officially announced.
I'll call it 720 or even Xbox next. Either way we al know the console is coming and will be called something.

You clearly never played Alan Wake. Game is one of the most authentic horror experiences out there.
It's not the scariest of them all, but it had the goods.
Evil
Find the original Fatal Frame wait till midnight. Turn your TV up so it's as loud as when you watch action movies.
And prepare to be scared..really scared.
In fact, you many not make it 20 minutes into the game before you drop the comtroller in fear.
I did this expiriment for year and a majoritiy of the people couldnt do it.

'After 3-4 years of straight pro gamer years MS went after casuals after seeing how big of a success the Wii was. Changing your target audience completely like this in the middle of the gen might be seen as abandoning the core and selling your soul for casual money. That's how I see it.'
Nope..After 3-4 years of being pro gamer SONY AND MS went after casuals after seeing how big of a success the Wii was. In fact Move released a coople...
What's happened is that the 360 has had an amazing run coming off of the original Giant Black Box.
At the end of the day, the 360 will wind down pushing 80 plus million in hardware.
They will probably be pushing 50 Million on Xbox Live with at least 50% Gold. Not to mention those two year subscriptions.
Kinect has been the hottest motion control device two holidays straight and will still push big hardware numbers for the 360 in the upco...
So basically from the article Microsoft says GFK charts revealed that they are currently ahead in the UK for the calender year and that Sony will not catch them during the holiday season.
Sony believes with the new Slim model and the release of Wonderbook for the casual market that they are positioned to win.
So basically comes down whether the MS can win on the strength of Kinect and Halo 4.
or will Sony win out the day on the new model and...
LOl..No..free to play works in some realms, but it's not the solution as a game & financially for everything.
I'll take Forza Horizon as is, and based on the critical reception and the demo, it looks absolutely worth it.
Again FTP makes sense elsewhere, but not in all cases.

Was looking forward to using it with my Iphone in a few days.
I can see from a business perspective why they would hold it back.
Smart Glass essentially is a good 6 month promo for Surface and the Windows phone.
This means the tech essentially wont be available till a couple of months prior to E3 2013.
May end up with a Surface after the holidays, but thought the phone control of IE9 was the best attribute of Smart Glass. <...
'i hope they die next gen.'
They won't..and lucky for the millions of fans like myself who love them. If you don't like em' don't buy em'.
'this generation was the worst for gaming....from 1000 games the 800+ are crappy fps.'
150% untrue...EVERY genre was represented and pretending that 80% of the games this gen were FPS is straight fiction.
Best gen hands down. We got the best games in every...
Well said General K..lol
This is what I've been saying all along. After E3 when people claimed MS had this horrible show because they led the show with Halo 4 and ended with Black Ops 2. That when all the smoke cleared these were the biggest titles of the year.
Name another hardcore exclusive this gen that's pulled a million preorders. The midnight release is going to be insane for Halo 4, and even crazier for Black Ops 2 because now you add on the ri...
'Something like "Enhanced with Kinect!" would be a much much better slogan to slap on Kinect games.'
LOl..you may be dead-on with the enhanced with Kinect slogan, but that sure would be a lame ad camapaign.
It makes me laugh how people literally still focus on the Kinect ad, when we all know it's just a slogan.
No one gets bent out of shape at the PS3 'It does everything' slogan.
But I guarantee ...
NBA 2K13 is simply stellar.
Best sports series 3 years running.

Horrible analogy...
Better with Kinect because it adds something to the experience has nothing to do with 'One of the best releases ever'.
'To me, a game with gimpy motion controls is not "better" for it.'
Kinect usage in most cases doesnt have ANYTHING to do with controls. The goal is to enhance the experience.
I loved playing Mass Effect 3 with voice. I didn't have to use it everytime, but ther...
It's all voice stuff that makes it easier to get to features that help you during races, chases etc.
The games producer is a huge Mass Effect fan and played ME3 the whole way through with Kinect and loved how they utilized voice in the game.
The video shows the demo using
Kinect and exactly why says its 'better with Kinect.'
Once again it's an optional use for people who own the device and plan on getting the game...
Yeah..its the standard Kinect troll-a-thon started by the standard fan blogger.
Here's the reality...
Kinect standalone and bundles are still going to sell big numbers on Black Friday all the way through holidays.
Kinect got a prominent role in the #1 movie in box office Paranormal Activity
By the time it's all said and done close to dozen games may push a million copies. Kinect Sports is doing numbers that some block...
