I don't imagine the Prothean is as central to the story as many people seem to believe. Sure, there's bound to be new and interesting dialogue because he's along for the ride, but the game's still, more likely than not, going to be complete as released.

Spears! Please!

I like my roommates better single anyway, so every Christmas and birthday I'm more than happy feed into their love of anime.

I tried to like Dietz, I really did. I defended his work on Halo: The Flood. It wasn't a bad book, honest! He just got saddled telling a story everyone had already experienced for the umpteenth time before they got their hands on the novel. The stuff he did with Keyes, McKay, and the other humans on the ring was…

Looking forward to Elders Scrolls novels and fan fiction writers modding the story to work when Bethesda won't.

He's the hero Xbox Live deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

To paraphrase Robin Williams, "Apparently, never RISK."

For me, I grew up reading Electronic Gaming Monthly reviews, and their scores seemed to indicate anything above a 7.0 on their scale was entertaining at the very least, but the returns you got from your investment (money, time, etc.) were greatly diminished on the other side of the scale.

Unfortunately, heads will roll at the next investors meeting, judging from such poor reception.

I failed the first time I reached that point and had to reload the save. It was a really tense moment, running up the right side, lobbing grenades through the windows to the second floor and shooting targets on the first.

A fantasy world where men dared to dream that Peter Molyneaux didn't exist...

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things start looking up for you. January's a pretty crappy month. I left my job of a year because of managerial crap, have been sick for over a week, and have almost entirely lost hearing, inexplicably, from my right ear.

Occupy, the ARG sensation that's sweeping the nation. Real-time homeless simulation at its finest!

Egads! Children engaging in online play may still observe the practices and beliefs of others, just as they are likely to in most any other form of social entertainment or even just... living in general?

"You are PRETTY OKAY."

"This One came to apply unpleasant force to posteriors and masticate polyisobutylene, but then This One remembered it has no feet or jaws with which to accomplish either of those tasks. This One will instead commence horrific bloodshed."

Mass Effect 3, Halo 4, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. I'm a man of sequels, it seems.

Depending on the time of year, our computers can be really unreliable in regards to how much stock of a game we really have; it's not completely surprising that an employee might not know shit about a box of games, but it's still really disappointing. The holiday season in particular kills us. But with Left for Dead,…

@DravinClaw: Calling him Master Chief was easier than giving him a name separate from his title; had we been running around playing as "John, Spartan-117" the entire series, we would have wanted more of a personality. As we only have the rank to go by to identify the character, we can imagine him having much more of…

@Beasy: There are darker storylines to be explored where Spider-Man maintains the wit. In the right hands, I'm confident it can be done.
