As if it'll even stop most of them from buying. Gamers these days are slaves to name brands. Poeple will bitch and moan but they'll still buy it. And even if it actually does suck most of them will still buy the 4th game and the 5th, and so on and so forth, out of a strange sense of habit and loyalty.

Whether is' been dumbed down or not, in this name driven market I really don't think it matters much. If anyone does complain it will be AFTER the game pushes a bajillion units and many die hard fans are already screwed out of 60 bucks for a game they did not like.

OMG I love that Me Gusta face! Winstonsicle, if you're reading this I hope you still have the photoshop resources and wouldn't mind posting a higher resolution image of just the face!

Damn, you've put up with my dribble for that long? Maybe I should start a blog. Or better yet, kick starter myself a brand new web site! One with a comments section that doesn't change every 6 months!

Admittingly, that was borrowed from Yatzee over on The Escapist, though it seems to fit IMHO.

And it will be a fucking hit because everything else on TV sucks.

Or that. Marketing is a daring stratagem of lies, counter lies and truths where reality is beaten into malleable substance to further the goal of making us give a damn.

Well if the document has been removed I guess that makes it real. Well, either real or so close to real that it threatened to damage Microsoft's image. As if Microsoft needs any help doing that.

Aggressive marketing FTW!

Right? Look at the size of the post I wrote just to troll! If I wanted to make a full blown hoax I could of probably gone another 20 pages! I have, literally, nothing better to do today!

The new Xbox will include:

Cuz 'merica

And extra points if he's not even a "real" American and was actually a dissenter of some sort guilty of sedition. Remember, "real" Americans don't try to undermine the government by criticizing it (unless the president is a Muslim, then it's ok.)

Dynasty Warriors has real people offing each other, and often times in ways totally contrary to reality and history.

I see it this way. There's Nationalism and Patriotism.

The problem, though, is no one is willing to be that frank when writing an article about American games.

I think it's "Justin Bieber"

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War also has a good intro. While the music isn't as original the story is much more apparent and the drama and emotion is worn on it's sleeves. To this day it is my favorite video game story and the only one to make me loose it and have to pause the game to collect myself from the emotions it…

What about the GREATEST game score ever? What about the sound track from Ace Combat Zero?

I always liked the intros to the various Star trek shows.... well, except for Enterprise. Rod Stewart and Patch Adams called, they want their music back.
