@garthman: I don't care for multiplayer, either (yet I love co-op campaign), but this sounds like there won't be any character customization at all. That's the biggest feature that draws me to any multiplayer.

@RipSteakface: I always thought he looks like Kathy Ireland after a night of binge drinking and chain smoking.

I loved the first game very much. Certainly not the bet game ever, but I thought it was a lot of fun. My biggest complaint with Crackdown was this: by the time I saw a dramatic increase in my Agent's powers, the part of the city I was in was devoid of any enemies and when I moved to a new part of the city, those…

Curious...what was the punishment for deceiving Mom and Dad?

A few years ago, I put $5 down at my local Game Crazy to reserve Final Fantasy III on the DS, then I forgot to pick up my game.

@Holly: I bet you're a hit at parties. ;)

@Holly: I'm going to go out on a limb and say that booth babes may actually enjoy what they do. I have heard through the grapevine that some women enjoy showing off their bodies. Hell, I've seen women at bars, grocery stores, the mall, post office, etc. that dress slutty. I can only assume women dress that way in…

@Mundus: You guys are making it seem like I'm anti-Xbox or something. I love my 360 (and my PS3 and Wii). I merely pointed out that Microsoft had a really bad PR week and that's really unusual for them.

@Space Bot: Why would it be a joke?

@Synthos: I'm just thinking $300 for an Arcade unit bundled with Natal, $100 for a family gold, $60 for a game, and $40 for a plastic toy stand, a necessity for me since my plasma is mounted over the fireplace. That would bring my cost to $500, assuming I didn't already own a 360, which I do.

Am I the only one who feels like Microsoft is imploding? Kinect is overpriced (in my opinion), has some potentially fatal flaws, ridiculously priced accessories ($40 for a stand?), glitchy public demos, generic marketing corporate-speak answers for simple questions, now a $100 Live Gold family package which brings the…

When I hear the name, "Kudo Tsunoda," and then I actually see Kudo Tsunoda, I'm reminded of the Donna Chang episode of Seinfeld. This guy's about as Japanese as I am. And I'm half British and half Irish.

@hatmantc: Around 11:45pm on November 1st, you suddenly "remember" that you forgot to pick up milk at the 7-11. Then, make your way to your local Gamestop for a midnight release where you pre-ordered said Collector's Edition. Hopefully your wife went to sleep long before you left and then there's no sneaking…

Whew. For a minute there I thought this was actually going to be $150. Thank god Microsoft has contacted Gamestop and asked them to correct the price.

Okay, so the TV I play my 360 on is mounted over a fireplace (with no mantle). Where the hell am I going to put this?

@ryoshi: Apparently, it's serious enough for you to point out someone else's mistakes.

@ryoshi: There must be a comma after "though," and before "bro." You should be embarrassed to point out someone's incorrect spelling of a word and then follow it up with incorrect punctuation of your own.

You know, I was a dorky looking teenager with a bad haircut, too. How come no marketing genius approached me to make records?

From the waist up it looks like Thor, but from the waist down it looks like random guy wearing leather pants and boots.

Could someone explain why you would need a publisher for a downloadable title? I understand the need for a publisher for a retail release, but what's the benefit for a PSN or XBOX Live release?
