Also something about Skies of Arcadia HD

As a huge fan of FPS games I sincerely thank you for writing this up. It also makes me really happy that Halo was mentioned a lot and helped me realize how varied it is and difficult it is.

Your going to start seeing these in Goodwill's everywhere now.

NC, ranked 45.

That explains why I hate it here so much.

I was wondering if they were going to do this or not. TIME TO BUY TICKETS.

Huh. That's interesting with the scuba thing. It would be interesting to look into for sure.

I hate being in the ocean. Shallow beaches, I can handle, but the deep sea terrifies me more than spiders, snakes and birds who can talk put together. So a game where you do nothing but drown in open water is not my Game Of The Year candidate.

Nailed it.

That was too funny.

STAT | 28% – Drop in video game software sales at US retailers in March compared to March 2013, according to NPD: hardware sales (led by next-gen consoles) were up 78%, and accessories were up 4%.

I'm suddenly glad I haven't eaten lunch yet. Or much of anything for that matter.

Ach! Other side of the country else I would be there at the drop of a hat.

Maybe I'll make it a note to visit you guys.

One can dream no?

Let me know when they are taking applications for a curator of video games at the museum. I'll gladly take the job.

YES! The problem with lots of news outlets today is they look forward almost exclusively and take very little time to go back and see how we got where we are.

Thank you for this!

While I agree, this points to the death of the consoles for me. All the stuff behind getting stuff on console that's in place makes PC a better avenue for those indie guys and consoles second string.

Especially around this area where a lot of people don't have access to high speed internet. Going all digital would kill…

I think it is 80% good. Some parts of the story were lame and the fight with the 3 titan things was just BS.

But great gameplay and baddies and the blood and gore that Wolverine deserves.

I'll check it out. If it's half as bad/good as Jurassic the Hunted or X-Men Origins I'm ok with it.

I think this is actually part of the greater problem facing the industry: The loss of the non-indie and non AAA titles.

Yes I'm advocating mediocre games.

Without movie tie-ins we wouldn't have gotten things like Spiderman and Spiderman 2 for the PS2 generation or X-Men Origins: Wolverine. These games aren't…
