Totally agree about the HUD. The waypoint marker need to go... There are PLENTY of ways to teach a gamer where they need to go without a constant marker on my screen. Especially for such a dark game, I'd like to see them take advantage of using light as a subtle beacon.

As the Mario games have gotten easier, the coins really have lost their appeal to me. I'm really not sure how I feel about this one. I'd love it if they used the coins for something else besides 1ups.

Have you played any of the newer mario games? Unless you're brand new to video games, you'll never see a game over screen in ANY of them.

One of valves videos a while back called it "America's #1 war-themed hat simulator"

I've been holding out for it to go F2P. It seemed inevitable like most MMO's nowadays. I'd love to throw them some money and support if I like it, but there's no way I'm going to pay full price and then subscription costs.

Hi5

It spans across multiple cities/states. This one in particular is definitely Cincinnati. You can even see the I-75N US 52 Highway sign. I take that every day to/from work. Pittsburgh is one of the settings they've announced though

This is pretty awesome. So from what I remember, you get to keep the games as long as you keep the subscription, correct? So if I unsubscribe, and then resubscribe, all those games will be gone?

Oh hey cool, this level is set in Cincinnati, Ohio! I don't think I've ever seen my part of town featured in a video game (to this caliber) before. I recognized it instantly from the Big Mac bridge and I-75 signs. Look forward to seeing more!

Best game at MS's conference IMO

Microsoft's Smart Glass has me very interested in the console to smartphone connectivity idea. While it sounds like it may be primarily for media and navigation, I'd love for games to have the option of including some kind of smartphone link. This could allow my smartphone to act as a new input to my console for new…

Just a heads up to anyone who sees this- The deal is expired.

I actually did this for my fiance over the weekend by just putting in her steam name. I guess she had an MMO on there that qualified her for the promotion. I didn't see the WoW character name input anymore.

So just a heads up, Raptr still is giving away free copies for Rift + a free month to members (free to sign up). Only catch is you have to be leveled up to "experienced" in MMO's. If you've played WoW, just put in your character name and it'll recognize that. Really easy.

I went as spy and my fiance was a scout for halloween this year and the BEST part about bringing paper masks are when other people get a hold of them. Good fun

Same here. Good ol' Calypso's at it again!

I second this. One of my favorites as a kid

I'm hoping so. The FAQ says

To clarify, the newegg copy is my fiance's. My copy will arrive tomorrow via amazon (so that's where I'll have my Guest pass) as well and a CE version in about a week or so (got it $25 off).
