I thought that trailer was pretty good. I'm actually more inclined to see this than the Green Lantern film, at least at this point... Green Lantern's first two trailers have been too slapdash (which I didn't think was possible... I mean, Hal Jordan is basically a nutter anyway, right?). This is very silly, but it fits…

I don't think there's any way to save this franchise... I guess scrapping it entirely and rebuilding it from the ground up might work, but Activision is unlikely to give the developers all the time they need, so they'll probably resort to stunts. That might work in the short term, but it's not any kind of sustainable…

@who_shot_marvin: my version...

@VicViper: I love that being open on Thanksgiving is suddenly a trend. It's fucking despicable... those people should be at home, chilling out.

@Valeria Heart: Steam does a huge run of pre-Christmas sales, but they usually start a little later, I believe... last year they had them going through something like early December through the beginning of January. Savings were ridiculous, I'm still trying to finish all that stuff I got.

Those are great deals!

@SupaKero: Understood. I was just teasing anyway, my friend. Cheers!

It's so disappointing this game wasn't designed for the PS3 and 360. It's a really novel concept, but it's the kind of thing I want to see displayed with the greatest possible fidelity. Hopefully they'll at least port it over and clean it up a bit.

@d_r_e: Nah, no hate at all. I'm looking forward to it mightily as well, but... it's just that the other one has griffons and stuff! I mean, until we can have noir + griffons we have to take what we can get, right?

@Ta0zenX: You're looking forward to this more than The Last Guardian? I'm interested in this game, but let's not get nuts, here...

@Andrew Wyatt: Agreed. I'll definitely check this one out— assuming it's not just a slapdash affair thrown together while TT were finishing up LEGO Clone Wars— but it's certainly not going to make up for losing Armada.

@d_r_e: I came in to make that exact comment. I'm glad you beat me to it. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are Floating in Space is such a fucking brilliant record.

@TheTingler: It was a joke!

While this game might well be coming, I don't think it's the announcement hinted at in the earlier video. Definitely looks like it's happening on Earth and resembles Shattered Steel more than anything in the Mass Effect mythology.

Wow. That's disappointing. I was actually really looking forward to this, and believed it might help to justify buying a Kinect this early in the device's life. Didn't realise so little of the game had any Kinect support. Ah well, guess I'll wait for next spring or summer for the Kinect library to grow a bit before…

@SupaKero: I'm confused... you waited in line for LEGO Rock Band last year, but now you wish they were giving away a better game? My mind is blown.

@lost13wolf: Actually they stated the third would be a lot lighter than the second...

The entire little clip is a feint, and they're announcing JADE EMPIRE 2.

@jsmo5: I'm hoping you're right, because your prequel idea is awesome and I've seen a lot of awesome prequels in my day.

I don't always disagree with Bayless' opinions— although I'll concede that he consistently substitutes town-crier histrionics for well-formed concern— but in this case he's misunderstood modern gaming, this Black Ops situation, and the NBA's audience, entirely.
