Gamer's game, leave the numbers to the accountants

Fable, Halo CEA, Gears Of War and Halo Reach are simple shovel-ware to you? Geez, I'd hate to see what you thought were actual quality games.

Back on topic, this is a fantastic bundle to someone new to the Xbox 360, those are really great games.

I admit that I bought Medal Of Honor on the Xbox 360 when it when on sale for like $10. I loved the single player campaign, absolutely loved it. The ability to go prone, switch the guns from semi auto to automatic. It was really great, although it was short.

Then I go to the multiplayer, which played like a Bad Company ripoff, it handled so different from the campaign, no prone, no switching rate of fire, it was just bad.

Now that Dice is stay away from this ...

There were rumors that PGR5 was being worked on last year, but it makes sense to hold off on saying anything about it because you don't want to compete against yourself, with Forza 4 coming out last year it's easy to see why they haven't said anything yet.

I loved Kameo and the Xbox 360 is seriously lacking in platform games, I'd enjoy a sequel very much so.

EA hasn't been the best thing to happen to Bioware that's for sure. This kind of bugs me because I intended to get the N7 edition but they stopped taking pre-orders on it. So now I have to settle for the standard version.

I'm not sure the price point for this, but I hope it's not too costly. I don't really enjoy the way DLC is going these days. Release date DLC is greed in the worst way, if you have it ready for release, you damn sure can add it to the dis...

It's really fun, it plays like Alan Wake. I know they put an emphasis on it being more action based, and to an extent it is, but overall it feels just like Alan Wake should.

Even though it's not a sequel, it's clear that it takes place after the events of the first game. There are lots of little Easter eggs throughout the game.

Also, it's probably the best looking XBLA title ever!

Those early PS3 commercials were pretty horrid and did nothing to show off what the PS3 could actually do. They should have been showing off the amazing features that the console had.

Looking back at that commercial again and I'm still mystified as to what the heck it is I'm watching and what it's supposed to mean.......smh

Considering Mass Effect 2 was on two disks, this isn't a surprise. If I remember right, you only had to swap the disk the one time and it was pretty fast and painless.

I like the reversible cover though, that is pretty sweet for sure.

The way I understand it, the NFL gets more money from EA then they would have gotten from all the other companies combined. That is why Take Two passed on it, they didn't think anyone would be foolish enough to spend all that money on the license.

With as money grubbing as the NFL is, they would go with the deal that would get them the most money. Which seems to be their deal with EA.

This article is horribly written, the NFL is partially to blame because they went to Take Two and offered them the exclusivity deal first, they turned it down because they thought nobody in their right mind would pay all that money for the exclusive deal.

Turns out EA didn't like the competition and ponied up. The actual money involved is far more then it would be if 10 different companies paid the previous price point to use the NFL likeness.

The deal i...

I really liked some aspects of Fable 3, but I didn't like some of the things they took out from the previous Fable game. I enjoyed how you could manage your properties from anywhere and I liked the combat overall. I think the game was just a bit rushed and so it wasn't as deep or good as Fable 1 or 2. I still enjoyed it as a fan of the series though, since you can get the game cheap now, it's worth picking up and playing through it.

There has to be room for both, a lot of gamers don't even connect their consoles online. Some, like myself have a bandwidth cap. I can only download 250 gigs a month, using Netflix and downloading demo's and some arcade games pretty much take care of this.

I see it eventually being around 50/50, but it'll never be download only, you would totally take away a huge chunk of audience.

Now this is the game I bought a Move for, hopefully it lives up to my expectations. Although I liked using the Move for games like MAG and Killzone 3, I really wanted a Move only experience to help justify my purchase.

Hopefully Sorcery can be that great Move only title that Sony has been lacking thus far.

I think people are wrongly trying to compare it to the first game, which was a full and complex story. This is an arcade title, which is only allowed to be a certain length.

Alan Wake was 2/3 story and American Nightmare is 2/3 action. Remedy prepared people for this, obviously some things had to be taken out to get this game on XBLA.

I still think it's getting solid scores and I'm definitely buying it. I'm supporting this in hopes of getting a f...

I wouldn't mind a story DLC drop, Elite is already turning out to be pretty worthwhile. People find reasons to complain, but Elite to me is just a Season Pass under a different name.

Your getting a ton of content for the price and since most people play the latest COD game year round, these drops keep things fresh and new.

Not sure what to say about this, I like the Move, but I actually think Sony thought they would capture more of the casual market with it then they have.

Part of the reason for this is that they lack a lot of Move only titles that are worth owning one for. It's fun to go through Killzone 3 with it, but that's a very core game and wont really attract any casual gamers.

Let's face it, all the companies want both the core and casual market because th...

Overall the game is getting good to great reviews. People are trying to review it like a full sequel to Alan Wake and it's not.

This is an arcade title to try to get some support up so they can possibly do a full on Alan Wake 2 game in the future.

They have a size limit on XBL and so of course a lot of the cutscenes and therefore story elements were left out. I'm really looking forward to playing anything to do with new Alan Wake.

I think word about Alan Wake and what a unique and solid game it is has gotten out. I have a great feeling that between this and American Nightmare that we'll be seeing a lot more Alan Wake in the future. Hopefully Microsoft sees the market now and takes full advantage of it.

You beat me to it! I think this is the best video game romance bar none.

$350 would be the highest I'd probably go. We don't know all the specs yet, but I have a feeling it's $299-$349 and I'm okay with that.

I know people are worried about the price, but Nintendo always manages to keep prices down in their consoles. This is really already older tech. If it's on par with PS3/360 then it's not too expensive to utilize in the Wii U. Also, the controller isn't going to be as expensive as people are guessing.

I'd be really surprised if the Wii U launched for more then $299. What Nintendo console has launched higher than that?

I'm excited because fr...
