There's also the fact that Mercenaries was produced by Pandemic - which was Bioware's sister company before EA bought both via acquiring VG Holdings.

Don't underestimate the power of the e-peen.

Totally ninja'd by 2 minutes! d'oh!

CONGRATURATION. YOU SUCCESS.

That, I admit, would be hilarious.

It just feels like that all this voice support stuff for games such as this and Mass Effect 3, is a desperate attempt by MS to give the Kinect some kind of credibility with gamers that wouldn't otherwise buy it.

He had an unlockable Megaman X costume in the original Dead Rising.

I'd rather see Disney have a go at publishing Marvel themselves instead of Activision and Sega releasing lacklustre licensed rubbish.

... And it's been downhill ever since.

You missed the point.

Why are so many people saying something along the lines of "They couldn't possibly release a new console with *Insert upcoming title here* due to come out?"

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see any new hardware put to work properly too.

...Because Halo 4 couldn't possibly run on the new hardware, right?

They were starting from scratch that time, though. I'm pretty sure they'll be keeping the platform relatively as-is this time and just use higher specced compatible hardware.

"I've said it before, but the ONLY way that the next Xbox is coming out in 2012 is if they are doing some sort of dual release of Halo 4 on both the 360 and the NeXtBox."

I think it's a given that any new Xbox models will be built around similar hardware architecture from now on, and I'll go out on a limb and say that I bet not only will the "Xbox 720" will be backwards compatible, but you'll be able to migrate all your 360 data to it, such as DLC.

Don't confuse the fact that there's always been someone willing to clone a game for a quick buck with a lack of innovation, Scott.

From playing a bit of NGIII at the Eurogamer Expo: Not that impressed - The combat has all gone QTE-heavy.

Considering the Dead Rising: Off The Record "paying for cheats" scandal last week, I'm surprised this is an unlockable, and not DLC.

The gang you lead is The Third Street Saints. It's a play on words.
