While this might not be politics, there is a similar level of brinksmanship that goes on in game PR and marketing, especially when you've got an overhyped title match like BF3 vs MW3. Calling something a beta vs demo (especially when the "beta" is only really being used to test server load) has a healthy dose of marketing consideration involved. Heck, even demos include the "represents a work in progress and is not representative of the final product" disclaimer langua...

We're certainly glad to add the official product details to the page.

Our review approach for this device comes from what our readers want to know:

Does the device work as advertised?
Is it easy to use?
What is the quality of the video that the device produces?
What comes in the box?

We aren't CNet and don't review a product like this the same way they would. As I said, though, adding the official product...

This is a review of the item. We have to approach it fresh.

Thank you for clarifying. Glad to know that our perception of the imbalance wasn't incorrect.

I'm glad you are going to play it and enjoy it. That's the most important thing.

Unfortunately, equating size to build quality is incorrect. The game is ONE map, ONE mode. If it were the size of a full retail disk, I would be confused. Also, I'm not talking about textures or scripting. I'm talking about play style, weapon balance, etc. If you can use a LMG as a sniper rifle, something is wrong. I saw plenty of people doing just that.

I'm ...

Please note that I (and nearly everyone I played with) commented on the weapon balance thing. Note that I said "felt" like the weapons were unbalanced.

As for DICE making both games, the company isn't (or at least shouldn't be) a one-trick pony. Medal of Honor didn't feel like past Battlefield games, so why should one assume that the new Battlefield would feel like Medal of Honor?

As for this being a "beta," I think you are pu...

Cool! So glad you like them! We'll keep 'em coming!

According to the official Naughty Dog twitter account (@Naughty_Dog) there is no official word on when the MP will go live. This story is wrong or, at the very least, unconfirmed by official sources. Subway makes no mention of this on their website and the promotion has been delayed in North America.

I'm sure we will know for sure when real details are available.

Thanks. I definitely had fun with it, even with its issues. I'm not sure what the other reviewers were expecting from it, but I got everything I was anticipating in and more. Definitely one of the best experiences for the Kinect out there.

My Gunstringer review should be going live in the next couple of days. I really enjoyed it, also. Again, it's not going to sell a Kinect to core gamers, but if there is one in the house, Rise of Nightmares and Gunstringer are must-owns.

I don't know why people had issues with Rise of Nightmares. The motion tracking works better than most other Kinect games, the story is pure cheese, and you get to beat the undead with all manner of found and intentional weaponry. :)

Thanks! Hope it was informative. :)

If anyone has questions about the event or my hands-on time with the game, please feel free to hit me up at @mmmfutter on Twitter. We also have a press briefing recap, multiplayer impressions and an interview with Sledgehammer Games' Michael Condrey up at ZTGD.com.

Microsoft is co-sponsoring the event. Every demo unit is a 360. No PS3s here.

That's odd... my troll alert makes the exact same noise. Interesting.

It really is something special. Production values are through the roof and gameplay just feels fresh.

Yeah, I probably should have hit it a little bit harder that there is no way they could have been copied. Unfortunately, a lot of video gamers are unfamiliar with Warhammer, especially the younger set.

Just wanted to dispel the idea that they play the same, though.

Your point is well taken. Thanks for the comment!

Of course I have Madden and UFC. There make other games for the CoDBox 360?

I know, right? This guy can't write atricles for the life of him. I think he should go back to playing Hello Kitty's Barbie Pony Ride Adventure Starring Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Brite.

Me? I'll be drinking Red Bull and taking No Doz so I can get my 10th Prestige.
