I don't really like the look of this Xbone, but I do think it is a good example of how custom paintjobs and special edition Xbones might look in the future. I expect there will be some nice Halo and Titanfall versions in the works.

I lost interest in Pokemon after red/blue, but I'll tell you, it was easy for me to get into, not because the game was great (it was) but because my school was not a place for academics, but a battleground, for all of 6th, 7th and 8th graders to duel and trade. I don't know if it would be as easy to get into for other…

Wow, this is a pretty bold move by Ubi. Though I approve, they wouldn't make this move if they didn't feel the game needed the time and polish. I rather play the good version than the 2013 version.

Borderlands 2 GOTY is sold out :(

Right, because if there is one thing Rockstar is bad at, its licensing music. I doubt this story is legit. He probably got paid and found out GTA5 sold a billion dollars and now he expects a bigger slice. Same thing Ray Liotta said after he saw how big Vice City was "next time I'll ask them for more money" to which…

I'm going into this series completely blind tomorrow morning, when this game comes out. I'm excited to see what Telltale has been up to since TWD and I'm willing to dive in with both feet to find out.

People should have been able to pre-order Obamacare and get early-access, like MMOs.

Yeah, I'm not willing to wait that long to play, I just don't want to buy 4 episodes like 6+ months in advance either. Hopefully I can buy episode one by itself, at launch.

I'm really excited for this, but I noticed I can only buy the $25 dollar season on Steam, rather than paying $5 per episode, which I much rather do. Anyone know how I can buy the individual episode, or is that not an option like it was for TWD?

PC streaming to TV? Oh lawd, this device just went from completely off my radar to a serious consideration. I think I will wait to hear more about Steam Machines, but this sounds like it has a lot of potential.

OSNAP, SWTOR is getting covered on Kotaku again!

Oh god, please don't be a shitty mobile thing, please be a real follow up to Sleeping Dogs. I love that game and want so much more.

Yeah, I will totally agree about some of the inorganic historical references. The absolute worst being the horse ride with Paul Revere. That was just terrible. But I thought a lot of the other stuff was really cool, like working with Sam Adams and the conversations with George Washington.

Absolutely. I am a completionist by nature and I feel compelled to finish most games I start. This has taught me that by pushing through some boring segments (like the filler content in Red Dead Redemption, or GTA4) can be worth it when you get to a great mission, or an unforgettable ending.

Lucy resolution is in Revelations. I don't want to spoil it for you, but they cover it pretty clearly and even expand on it in the Rev DLC, The Lost Archive. I actually really like what they did with Lucy, I thought it was better than where I thought it was going (predictable love interest for Desmond). And…

Just to expand on what I said earlier about tools, the biggest and most effective of which are the grenades. There is an entire crafting/collecting system that allows Ezio to craft various types of grenades, which create different feedback and results. The fake-money grenade was one of my favorites, because it would…

Yeah, it is hard to take this seriously. Would you have ever enjoyed the initial story if you had just read it on a wiki or watched it on youtube? I am not sure why people think there is any kind of parity between watching or reading a summary and actually experiencing it firsthand. If that is your purchasing choice,…

Odd, that you like Ezio so much but don't like Revelations. I thought the ending of Rev was friggin beautiful, in no small part because of the way Ezio's story was resolved. Unlike Altair who took the burden with him all the way to his death, Ezio was finally able to find some happiness and love, like 40 years after…

Yup, I would love for Ubi to say "okay, we are going to take 2 or 3 years between this and the next AC game"

Yeah, I never have played AC on the PC, but I imagine that if it is not optimized or ported right, the controls might be a real pain in the ass.
