@MSUHitman: That would be smart, but then again EA seems hell bent on removing things from Madden, so if anyone figures this out first, I'd expect it to be 2K.

@Marth: This game is too imaginative for Jeff Kent's tastes.

I had no idea RVD showed up to the Rumble, damn. I might've watched it in that case.. Cool of him to appear even though it was likely a 1-night affair of oversold weak clotheslines and signature move overload.

So is Steam the only DRM this time around? If so, that's an upgrade. I'll get with Steam if it means Empire plays nicer with my computer than Medieval II did..

@ClintonPortishead: New, completely out-of-the-blue.. gonna wager someone @ Kotaku is responsible but who knows.

@ClintonPortishead: 5) Toss in too many terrible drivers, and watch the inevitable failures ensue..

Interesting.. so far I haven't seen any Risk spin-off that I enjoy nearly as much as the original. Some things just don't need to be improved. Now, if only I could find people to play these days...

Imperial Hot, you know what to do. Make this happen. Yamagishi has dreams.. dreams to remember.

For those looking for BC, there are new PS2s available for $140, $130 and less, and used for lower prices than that. If you need to have a BC PS3, they are still out there in the wild, but you have to look. Sites as popular as Amazon would have a hard time keeping them in stock if they had them for sale. Look…

Awesome, so this is why Ric was rumored to be working with EA earlier. Bear fight confirmed?

Looks cool enough, the designs come off as a bit uninspired but if they can make the game great, then these things can be overlooked. I admit though, I wouldn't be as mildly optimistic about this game if I didn't know how epic Total War games are. Reading some of the other comments, it appears as if not everyone knows…

@Morberis: Yeah, honestly for me this will only hurt the business of B&M stores.. If I can't find a non-AAA game in Best Buy/Target/Gamestop/? then I'm sure Amazon or whatever will have it.

@ShaggE: As if yarn could even do that hair justice.

Best looking game or not, this needs to have the menus and subtitles translated to English. C'mon Sega. I'll buy it.. not sure how many sales they'd get but screw that.

When Michael Vick plead guilty to dogfighting charges back in 2007, he also agreed to enroll in PETA's version of sensitivity training.

@Bernoulli: Considering he's shooting at cop cruisers.. I'd guess not. But yeah we don't really know how he fits into things yet.. Probably isn't part of the biker gang.

Pretty good. Forgive if you guys have answered this before, but what are you using for such quality voice chat? The audio sounds better than anything I've heard on consoles..

Looks really cool, sounds like I'd enjoy it. But I likely won't see it until I get a 360, and then find a very discounted copy of GTA IV for it. I've already paid $60 for this game, and it seems I can't experience this. That's wrong, no matter how anyone puts it. Paying for exclusive rights to an expansion of a…

@joeloliol: I completely agree, I've commented a few times in past posts about this shit. Multi platform games should be 100% multiplatform. Yes, I realize Microsoft paid for exclusivity, and I hate that. I don't want to see any of the console companies doing that, regardless.
