@WhiteSkyRising: In my opinion, dynamic difficulty would ruin competitive video gaming. How can you say that you've really beaten a game if the AI intuitively dumbs the game down as a hidden sub-routine?

@ostartero: Damn you ... I was just thinking about that when Owen wrote the last line before the exerpts ... yes, and I think it's dumb. It essentially plays the game fore you in certain areas.

@FraGNeM: I'm with you, when I read the first impressions story and they mentioned the halo 1 pistol is back, I just cringe. It's like people sniping with the Desert Eagle in MW. A pistol is a pistol, it's supposed to be a close-range weapon.

@MurlocSniper: I think you and lionkitten are overthinking the beta key. This isn't nearly as bad as Halo 3 and having to buy Crackdown. There giving you the beta key in the game you intended to buy. This isn't "if you want to play the beta, you must buy our Halo: ODST" ... it's an "if you buy Halo: ODST, you can…

@Erran M Harris: I really beg to differ on your opinion of a story line. Granted, the game does not do the storyline justice; but, like WoW, the storyline (lore in wow's case) is extremely immersive if you actually read the books. The halo books are some of my favorite reads outside Ender's Game and LotR (you can…

@Archaotic: Before reading the end of your post Gambit was at the top of my list of who shouldn't be in this game. His storyline is wayyy to messed up to even begin to place him in a new one.

@Adam Spano: you corrected me after I said I would physically put my penis in his mouth ... then followed it up with virtually t-bagging him in MW2.

@JustJake: I don't recall ever seeing a keyboard anywhere in Tron (except in the real world, and I assume your not meaning a 1970's NEC shit-white keyboard).

@haran_elessar: That's usually a marketting model for "smaller is better" ... think of it as a size comparison.

@Eduardo Alvarez: Nah, it's an in-ear earbud, aside from having two, you'll hear no less then you would have.

@Th12eat: (sucks not being able to edit my own post)

@jargy1: 1) So I can hear my D**k in your mouth when I T-bag you in MW23) Imo, you've not played with gamer gear if you can honestly say that a mouse is a mouse. There are differences, some small, some big. If you get a higher DPI lazer mouse as opposed to an old school ball and chain mouse, youll get two different…

I think I just found my first iPhone application idea. Mr. Potato Head with Courtney Love ... genius

@Wolfgang Wozniak:

@LoLAdrian ...And Then Comes Lividity: "Sir, Sarah Palin says your health care reform offers a death panel ..."

Too bad GRIN's gone under ... Gabe coulda been their new mascot with that many double chins ...

I don't think anyones yet asked this. This could be a big stab to his campaign based off the answer: Is he a dwarf male or female?!?!?!

Is anyone else wondering what poison makes you kill people near you randomly ... especially ones that your being paid to protect?

@nworobes: Except that it's a zombie game ... and Tim Rogers' psychology only works on titles that people aren't dying to play (no pun intended).

why do none of these seem to have a distinct FF feel to them ...
