I actually really enjoyed the layout of the ending. Sure, the color filter part of it was silly— for my thinking the only ACTUAL choice was synthesis, particularly because LEGION IS MY BOY— but I like how the way-off-in-the-future epilogue pulls back to essentially turn the entire story into legend.

Geez I am getting ever-closer to jumping to Windows Phone— especially after they showed off Surface— canning Android and going all-in with Microsoft? I think so, even though my various Nexus devices have served me faithfully...

Any aftermarket launcher will replace your stock launcher (TouchWiz, Blur, AOSP, or Sense like the One X has). After installing it, the first time you press the HOME key Android will ask you which launcher you would prefer to use. You can select a launcher on each instance, or you can select a new default.

True Crime: New York was not awesome. Not on this, or any other possible world.

True Crime: Streets of LA was decidedly mediocre. The (apparently more passionate) people in charge of True Crime: New York apparently felt mediocre was too ambivalent, and went full steam ahead on the train to Shitsville. Jesus that game was awful. But the horrendous canned voiceovers were fucking GOLD, so there's…

Fine with waiting. Kind of reminds me of Geist. But with more -punk stuff.

Done. Sold on this already. This is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for when I heard Ron Gilbert was joining Double Fine. After coming down from the grandeur of Psychonauts, they've been getting closer to the mark lately. Brutal Legend was obviously a wait-it's-an-RTS?-letdown, but Costume Quest was pretty…

If I remember correctly, the entire issue began because Motorola and Microsoft disagreed on licensing fees... not that they in any way disagreed with the actual issue of fees. Microsoft actually encouraged this process, because they were essentially being made to pay greater fees than other licensees, and wanted to…

I understand the idea behind what Sony and Samsung are doing, but I'm skeptical that these actions are going to work out the way they hope. Samsung can afford to do a couple wacky things— they've already got more than ten million GSIII preorders in the bank, and tens of millions more sure to fly out the door on…

OMG Reaper Volus. I would pretty much die.

NF? Near Field Communication? Interesting...

You'd have to imagine it's resistive. Can't imagine much in the way of stylus support with a capacitive screen (I mean, capacitive is more expensive, and even capacitive-friendly stylus models are expensive).

Not just the camera angle. Definitely looks a bit wider.

The new square thing (on the left, under the D-pad) looks a whole lot like an optical trackpad (think late model Blackberry devices). Maybe good for precise pointer movements?

I feel your pain, my friend. But it'll never, ever happen. It's the exact same pain Elder Scrolls fans have, wishing for a return to Morrowind's hugely deeper underlying systems and at-times punishing difficulty.

THIS. I'm cool with Bioware doing whatever they want with DA3, but all I really want is a sequel to Jade Empire. Kung fu. RPG. MORE.

The only Mass Effect 2 DLC that's worth checking out is Arrival. The other pieces (Shadowbroker, Overlord, and Stolen Memories) are neat but kind of meaningless... Shadowbroker and Overlord are mentioned during the events of ME3 (Overlord is mentioned repeatedly, actually, at several points in the game) but even those…

GREEN? Synthesis between Darkspawn, Humans, and Dragons?

Except that avoiding the multiplayer didn't affect your game at all, if you so chose. PLAYING it could provide a buff to your GR, but avoiding it didn't suddenly mean you were screwed. Just continue to complete all available side missions and you'll likely wind up with the same variant ending.

I'd like to learn more about Orlais, really. Anything else you give us is gravy, honestly. Just make the scope of the game larger than in the second title. I want to feel like my character's actions MATTER.
