It's funny that one year or two ago people were talking about how mobile was the future and f2p the saving grace for gaming. Where are those people now?

I think one of my favorite things about Spec Ops was the way Martin Walker's finishers changed over the course of the game. They start out in typical military fashion, yet as the psychological effects start to wear on him, he grows increasingly violent and brutal in the way he finishes people off.

After your issue is resolved, stay in touch with the reps you spoke to. If you continue to have problems, don't start from square one, go right back to your last point of contact. If a refund you were promised doesn't come through, or you're billed for something you shouldn't be, you'll want to pick up from where you…

Am I the only one here who doesn't think you guys need to post a whole new article every time there's a new announcement? I don't give half a shit about Smash Bros. Now, I have to scroll through pages of it.

Literally anything can be seen as degrading if there are people that go around putting everything in a bad light.

In response to the overly harsh 'Not Yet' rating that was given to this game, I played through the entire thing (all side-quests) on PC and only encountered one bug. I haven't heard any horror stories about how it's a broken, unplayable game, ala the original Dark Souls for PC.

The best games of 2013? Excuse me, but no. Ni no Kuni, BioShock Infinite, The Last of Us, GTA V, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Killer Is Dead, Destiny.. the list goes on.
