Nor can the horny white westerners that import these games!

Care to elaborate?

Big fan of this game, despite its flaws. Would love to see a better piece of DLC or a sequel in the future.

I didnt get any popups. I think you need to upgrade your popup blocker.

"everyone pretty much knew to take stories with a grain of salt."

We're not 'flattering' ourselves, and people obviously didnt know to take it with a grain of salt, because very large numbers of American readers thought it was real becuase they didnt understand it was April 1st in other countries in the world before it was there (thus they read the article on March 31st). We had death threats over this, so no, not everyone took it with a grain of salt. ...

The 'Xbox LIVE is going free' was a prank, yes, which slipped through the cracks and managed to get front page heat in under 12 hours before being removed.

However, I recently put up the follow-up statement and message to the fans and readers that the website responsible for the post issued earlier today.

A certain moderator cancelled it, saying its un-newsworthy and then using this very post as a defence when I questioned him about why it was cancell...

I agree that we shouldnt have apologized. But I would suggest reading the article.

Its a tongue-in-cheek joke. These are the 10 best boss fights of the year. They just so happen to ALL be in Dark Souls.

If it is, it would be bad form for these guys to put it on thier official website themselves since they bluntly state Twisted Pixel. Would be kinda rude of them from a professional standpoint.

There have been some great games this gen, its a good time to be a gamer.

My personal favs are Heavy Rain, BioShock, Dead Space 2, Halo 3, Fallout 3, Mass Effect 3.

So another Studio for Microsoft, nice. Hope they start making some solid titles at least.

Metal Gear Solid is so very, very overrated...

Typical ignorant Destructiod review strikes again.

Actually, Destructiods curse strikes again. This game is great.

I pay 120 bucks for my Live. 80 would be great!

America isnt the only country in the world.

While 1998 was amazing, I think 2004 was Gamings best year actually. Among a lot of others, there were some truely amazing games released that year on all platforms;

Ninja Gaiden
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Metal Gear Solid 3
Fable
Killzone
Battlefield Vietnam
Unreal Tournament 2004
Hitman: Contracts
Theif: Deadly Shadows
Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
Doom 3
Burnout 3...

Where does one buy these games?

Would be great for PS3 users who might not have an Xbox or a good PC. From what I hear its a great game (will be picking up the 360 edition next month). But I dont think this is real, we wouldnt be seeing a PS3 edition till much later in the year if one is indeed going to be made.

I see no reason why a game like this shouldnt be on every machine.

A few more factors play into it I think;
When Burnout Revenge came out, it was a fairly saturated genre. Games like this are a rare thing nowadays. Split/Second is the only worthwhile one since Burnout Revenge, and that was a LONG time ago.
