Fox, MSNBC, and ABC don't exactly cover games well but it's not really there fault. These "experts" aren't quacks. These people are typically taken seriously, and I have no idea why they would risk their credibility on this stuff. If these people were foil hat wearers I doubt news agencies would waste their time on them. I think people need to be speaking against these "experts" not the news.

In addition, I watch a lot of FOX and CNN news (I k...

Good RPGs are fun. This game wasn't fun. My favorite game is Fallout 2. Fallout 2 is fun. See where I'm going with this.

Nice one bubble. BTW

Thanks. You have no idea how rarely people recognize the name, 90% of the time people ask if I'm the "wheelchair guy".

I'm not the wheelchair guy :)

Another one of my "Three Months Later" reviews.

I liked Fable II a lot, but Fable III just took all the things I liked about it, made them worse, and redoubled all the things I hated.

I have no idea where you get your numbers but they are wrong. The poll average has him at 48% and that's after the bump he got for the Arizona Speech he gave (which was good).

If you know nothing about politics shut you stupid mouths.

All of you.

Oh shut up. That is so fractious it makes my brain hurt. Were the legions of people who said "Kill Bush" anti-white? If America is so racist how he get elected in the first place.

Jeez

I would personally go with Mass Effect II, but this article is about the media.

When I finished playing last week my PS3 crashed a total of 5 times. That's a lot, but some people who played it pre-patch said it either crashed or bugged at least once an hour. I think the patches helped.

I played the PS3 version, I watched a friend play the X360 version and I couldn't tell the difference. My understanding is the PC version is the best.

I do these "Three months later" reviews because...

-Sometimes reviewers don't get enough time to play a game when it first comes out.
-Patches can significantly improve a game post-release.
-I don't get review copies. (<---Honesty)

Quick note: The examiner doesn't allow half stars, but I wanted to give the game a 9, not an 8.

I spent about an hour and a half trying to find a "hardcore" game, or even a AAA game with a release date for the Kinect in 2011. I couldn't find one. There is no way that is right. Is there an Xbox Con coming up where they might announce some new games?

I'm only allowed 400 words an article so I can't be as specific as I want. When I said "murky" i was refering to the fact that it isn't clear if there is going to be hardcore support for the Kinect. Not if the Kinect will be a success. It sold 8 Mil in 2 months, Microsoft might make its half billion back by March. That's impressive.

I actually think that the Kinect's mod communtity is very very cool. Check out the links on my article if you don...

OK, lets breath for a second. Calmed down?

-I listed the Sony games and not the Microsoft ones because I can't find a AAA Kinect game confirmed to release for 2011.

-I made it clear in the article that so far the Move games haven't set the world ablaze but that they could in the next six months. Could being the key word.

-Xbox's fan base is mostly core gamers and it is easier to convert costumers you already have then attract new ...

But why are you bagging on Fox for this? The university of Iowa did the study. Fox didn't even write the article, its an AP article.

I can't believe it was that easy

Yeah, what was the problem? This isn't quite as tactile as the other games, but there have been four of them. I appreciate the switch up.

They were responding to what the prick was saying about ME, and the guy from Spike TV did a bad job explaining why the other guy was full of it.

Didn't the trailer have scenes from the final cinematic?

Didn't pwn come from a mistranslation?

That this is arguably the most well received game of the last decade. You don't get too many people looking back at it trying to tell you how bad it is, like with most games, so they better not mess this up. There is no reason to, the game had a fully functional movie inside of it.
