Kind of bummed that Uber didn't get Total Annihilation, especially considering that they're working on Planetary Annihilation right now.

Yep! I remember booting up the game years after I got, and the opening credits mentioned Elfman as the composer. Never noticed it before but damn, the music is so good.

Don't look anything like who they're trying to portray? That Maya costume was actually pretty good. She even had the tattoos and everything.

Danny Elfman's score was fucking incredible. Added so much to the game.

It's more like "the Youtube comments section doesn't attract the most intelligent of people."

I would've gone with Marcus Fenix. The character would've fit perfectly within the realm of Mortal Kombat. Except for the being on Earth part.

Rehashed it to death...with a single sequel. IW didn't develop MW3, and even if they did, I'd hardly say 2 sequels is "rehashed to death." That's pretty standard these days.

So weird watching that movie nowadays. The cast at the time was already amazing, and so many of the more minor characters ended up being played by actors who are HUGE these days. Orlando Bloom, Tom Hardy, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau all had more minor roles (except Nikolaj, perhaps) compared to the other actors but are…

Yeah, if this is going to use the same engine as Dead Island, then count me out. Running and ESPECIALLY jumping were abysmally bad in those games.

If the console has an "Always On" requirement, Microsoft will lose my (and I imagine many others') business. I even have a broadband connection (which I share with 2 other Xbox users), but thanks to the layout of my apartment, my wireless connection is inconsistent and a wired connection isn't really feasible. These…

I feel like of them all, this is one of the most shoehorned-in references here. It's not really even clever nor does it really blend in like the rest.

As the Axton cosplayer: thanks! That costume was a bitch to work on.

Roland from Borderlands would be a good one, as would Jacob Taylor from Mass Effect. Only thing with those is that you'll need to excellent handiwork to do the costume well.

Man if I knew who was photographing for Kotaku I would've sought you out! I was dressed as Axton from Borderlands 2.

Totally unexpected, but superbly executed mashup of the two.

“I can describe an axe entering a human skull in great explicit detail and no one will blink twice at it. I provide a similar description, just as detailed, of a penis entering a vagina, and I get letters about it and people swearing off. To my mind this is kind of frustrating, it’s madness. Ultimately, in the history…

The issue is that he did it in a condescending way, during a massive press conference.

In terms of some things, sure. I don't think many people would notice if the recoil levels were accurate to real-life (that delves more into the realm of simulation than authenticity), but things like the lingo characters use, their tactics, appearance, and so on, especially in a game that's emulating real Special…

"Sonic, the Hedgehog! He's a fookin' HEDGEHOOG"

The soundtrack bit at 5:13 was hysterical!
