I would agree, but the phrase "Call of Duty meets Lost" has me intrigued. There are worse reasons to add titles to your GameFly list.
It is kind of weird that we get two Bond games in a row without a new movie. I guess since MGM filed for bankruptcy just last week, this is the best we can expect from Blonde Bond for a while.
So, it's kind of like ICO, but Yorda can actually put up a fight? Might be cool, might be cool.
Well, this review sold me - on the first game. The second, well, maybe I'll rent it someday. Nice review, Jon.
Fable II was my introduction to the series, and I have to admit I lost interest about halfway through. Fable III does have a lot of interesting new ideas, though, as well as a great voice cast, which makes me curious about it. The Fable games have had some really great production values and writing, even if I couldn't get behind some of the gameplay ideas.
I must admit, I have been curious about the Gothic series - any game where you can get tetanus is at least worth a look in my book. Maybe I'll start with one of the earlier games, though.
Can't say I'm much of a glutton for punishment, but it's nice to see indie games like this carving out their own niche. Hope it does well, and I might still pick it up to play as Tim from Braid.
I think everything can be said through this comic:

Though I would still totally play as a hobbit. Uppity Muppets have had it too good for too long.
The editing does sound like it would be a big problem. I know Rock Band does it, but it can get away with it better because it also has the drums, bass and guitar in addition to singing. In a game that's based entirely around vocals, though, cutting out words from the song seems strange.
In an case, nice to see the music genre branching out a bit. Now how about a country game???
Hey, where's everybody going...?
It sounds pretty neat, though. Not sure how I feel about not being able to restore health until dying, but the production values alone make it sound worth checking out. Nice to see that Twisted Pixel has carved out an indie niche for itself.
Mass Effect was one of the few games I played through multiple times, but I had to get around a lot of its flaws first. As much as I loved the cinematic presentation, setting, and ambitious story (a trilogy where your decisions carry over!? Wow!), I hated the samey side missions and clunky shooting. I've been playing through it again to bring a character up to Mass Effect 2, but after seeing all the improvements Bioware made for the sequel it's tough to keep going.
Well, the fact that the pack-in at least proved that Kinect can work is something. Probably not a lot of comfort to those who spent $150 on it, though.
