Why would they sell Rare back to Nintendo?
95% of the talent the company had has left since the Microsoft buyout, so the current Rare is just a shell of it's former self with little to none of the people that worked on the greats like Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong or Conker.

Has anyone noticed that 'sequel' is replaced with 'squeal' on this article?

Banjo and Conker won't happen without either a miracle or if Microsoft pull a dick move with both franchises.
Grant Kirkhope left Rare shortly after Nuts and Bolts (Which means half the voices, including Banjo and Mumbo Jumbo, and the music of Banjo-Kazooie will be missing.), and Chris Seavor (Voice of every male character in Conkers BFD and the writer/character designer) was fired from Rare a few years ago and I think he also said he'd never work with Microsoft again.

To be fair, he was only called Robotnik in the western versions of the older Sonic games and the western TV shows.
From 1991, he was called Dr Eggman in Japan, never donning the Robotnik surname until Sonic Adventure in Japan, but even then, SEGA officially made his name "Dr Ivo 'Eggman' Robotnik", with Eggman being his criminal alias that's commonly used and Robotnik his birth name.

I still prefer Robotnik too as his actual birth name, but Dr Eg...

Well, he does, just unlike his previous design, he's now an upside down egg, with the larger part at the top and the smaller at the bottom.

How to improve Mass Effects multiplayer: Don't include it at all, or distance it as far as possible from the single-player compaign.

Mass Effect is and always will be a singleplayer experience to me.
ME3's multiplayer felt really tacked on and pointless, and the requirement of having to play hours and hours of multiplayer just to get the best ending in the singleplayer was my least favorite part of ME3. (Even more than the ending themselves.)

Spyro was desecrated when they tried making him dark and edgy in the awful Legend of Spyro games.
They completely tore apart what made the Insomniac Spyro games brilliant and the end result was a trilogy of boring experiences.
Then Skylanders happened, and that just set fire and milked micro-transactions in the form of physical plastic DLC out of the already ruined character.

I still don't understand why people want Saints Row to return to what Saints Row 1 & 2 was.
I love SR2, but in all honesty, the first Saint's Row game was a downright GTA clone, with SR2 only being marginally distanced.
The Third, however, massively distanced itself from that with over the top silliness and trying to break reality just as much.
Same with 4, though 4 is basically just a glorified DLC for The Third, though it was still really fun to play.

I won't be getting a Next-Gen system or this game until next year at the earliest, so I think I've got plenty of time to get 'ready' for Titanfall.

I'm playing it right now; it arrived about an hour ago.
I'd recommend anyone to pick it up, its a league above Returns and it's simply gorgeous.

Cliffy, can you make Jazz Jackrabbit 3 already?
It's nearly two decades due.

Thanks, pumpkin.

To be fair, Atari was supposed to release the second episode shortly after the first was released, but because Atari went under, they never released it and their licensing for Blade Kitten ran out this month.
Krome Studios only just got the rights and the data of Episode 2 back by deafult.

To be honest, I've recently been playing the first Sly game and I thought the voice in this CGI trailer was the original voice.
Since he isn't, whoever they picked to replace the original voice sounds pretty much exactly like Kevin Miller.

Wait, The Force Unleashed was a bad game?
That's new.

Then again, its BT, which is one of the worst internet providers in the UK.
They're opinions aren't really worth toffee.

Actually, I played ME1 first, but for me it wasn't one of those 'First is your favorite' situations.
I got ME2 a few months after ME1, and I enjoyed it a lot more than the first game.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the Captain Kirahee part in ME1, I'd just use ME Genesis before ME2 instead of playing ME1 when doing a trilogy playthrough. (But Bioware were dicks by not including Kirahee in Genesis.)

This is all IMO, mind you.

A Mr Freeze themed DLC where you have to stop him from killing Ferris Boyle at Bruce Wayne's Manor.
Calling it now. (Or maybe I watched the TAS episode 'Heart of Ice' too much.)

"He tri-i-ied to kill me with a Forkli-i-ift!"

In all seriousness, I'm still wondering where the Toejam and Earl DLC is, or even Dynamite Headdy.

Well said, R00bot.
Nice to see someone on N4G with some common sense.

I've not played TLOU, the ungodly amount of hype and people screaming it's the best thing since sliced bread has kinda put me off wanting to play it (Though I'll assume it's a great game none the less), but I have played Super Mario 3D World, and I'd be damned if it wasn't GOTY material straight away, it's more refined than Gold, the graphics and soundtrack are gorgeous a...

The answer is to just keep playing Mass Effect 2 over and over until ME4 is released.
Best game of the series, IMO, one I've probably completed 100% around seven times. It never gets boring to me.
ME1 is good but suffers from slowdowns and lagspikes on console versions and the games pace becomes a drag after a while, especially when you're accustomed to the play style and pace of ME2 more. (Again, IMO.)
ME3 is good until the last hour of the game, then you migh...

They went with the design that resembles Roll the most, but it's still a good design none the less and the game will no doubt be a blast.
I voted for Design E, which came in second place, so that's good as they could put it in as an unlockable skin.
