I dunno - we were all pretty hyped when Team ICO showed the picture of the chain going into the well.

I'm very much a Sony gamer, and I'm getting pretty sick of all these "developers talk about how much awesomer things will be on the PS4 without ever actually showing anything or announcing anything interesting" videos.

That's just what an xbot would say -.-

This is the best sexism-in-the-game-industry story I've ever heard. I love that ending.

I'm curious about this myself, Kirk - any word on how the PS3 version holds up?

Rayman Origins.

A fair point - but if Schafer & Co. have proved anything, it's that they seem to be a wellspring of original ideas. I wouldn't put it past them to surprise us again, even if that means returning to the triple-A table.

I'm thinkin' spiritual sequel. Double Fine Open World Action Adventure Ver. 2.0. Or I guess... 3.0, if you count Psychonauts.

Metal is precisely what it would be! Unless Eddie found himself sucked into the alternate cyber reality of pop record covers of the 80s, battling chrome robo-babes in a neon arena, for the entertainment of the super-hot yet androgynous Queen King II.

Ugh, people were always trying to get me to join raiding guilds. Eventually after years of WoW - tons of fun on my Rogue and Mage, with a slew of alts - and one day I ended up doing a PUG with my resto Shaman, and somehow super-impressing the leader of some big raiding guild who courted me to join for weeks…

Why does this display of battle turtles and fantastical otherworlds end with... is that concept art for Kat from DmC? What's Projekt Umbrella?

Merci.

It is great stuff. He just described the plot of Event Horizon.

1) Dead Island: Riptide. First-person zombie bludgeoning is just fantastic.

Yep. That was another one of those "this game really gets me" moments. The anti-drug screens of a hundred sixteen-bit-era games flashed before my eyes.

Also good.

I'm going with "Venture Bros. reference."

Well shit, now I'm interested.

Connor was pretty uninteresting right up until he walked into the bar for the last scene - then he became legendary. Oh, and the beginning when he was beggin' the old guy to let him train - that was pretty cool.

Same here. It's gotta' be something I can spend ten, twenty, thirty, forty hours with - like a Metal Gear Solid where there's so much to find and see and discover. Yep, with an epic, five-hour campaign like Metal Gear Solid or God of War, I'm a happy camper.
