co-op games are underrated. With competitive online and single-player each getting their own category, I wish co-op (particularly in-person co-op) was more respected and reviewers would reward games that include the option. I didn't like LP2 that much, but I agree that a LP was rated based on a single-player…

Dear Smooof,

Me want. I don't know how well white lasts, but I've always loved the look of high-density white plastic with a nice gloss. It just feels so sci-fi.

For being all about personal responsibility, Fox News sure does blame a lot of things. In this case: video games and not the kid and not the adult that left a loaded gun out.

Good god, lemme have it. They keep releasing these developer videos and announcements like the new music directors. I can't take much more.

Seeing as how you play as three criminals, you will be committing crimes to progress the story, but I can see where you are coming from.

Here's a novel idea— Microsoft should go on the offensive to sell how the new Kinect can innovate the core gaming experience so that people don't just think of it as a wonky (but fun) peripheral that adds motion controlled games.

You obviously aren't.

I'm excited for the potential. Potentially, it's an incredibly powerful peripheral because of just how powerful it is and how it can play well with core games. The Kinect features in Skyrim and Mass Effect were fun, but not terribly accurate.

It's good to know and I'm happy that they are still standing behind the innovation (even if it's ill-guided, I still admire a company that is trying to innovate), but it is a convoluted message (surprise, from Microsoft). They needed to address privacy concerns, but instead of having a hard on/off switch so you could…

The graphics are blocky. Why can't they make the skin smooth like real skin?

How was your trust broken? Pray tell how evolving policies in FAVOR of end user rights makes you trust them less.

Kirk is quality. He's one of the reasons I still read Kotaku instead of jumping ship for Polygon.

If that's it, you should wait until Summer 2014 and just buy a Kinect 2.0 for your PC.

I'm excited. From what I hear the Kinect 2.0 actually has the on-board CPU that they wanted for the Kinect 1.0, but cut out because of cost and energy draw. If it indeed has a 1920x1080 camera instead of an 600x480 camera like the previous version and has the on-board processing to begin interpreting the data, then…

That is correct. There will be a PC version in 2014, but the new Kinect 2.0 for the XB1 is connected via a proprietary connection, so it's not just a matter of getting drivers to work. It pulls more power (in amps) than a USB 3.0 can safely do for prolonged periods of time, so the PC version will most likely require…

Kinect 1.0 (the 360 one) can work for a PC with some finesse. It's just a USB 2.0 cable connection and there are drivers out there.

The XB1 Kinect 2.0 can't just be plugged into your PC and have it work (it requires more power than a USB can safely provide so the XB1 has a proprietary plug with twice the number of live rails). There will be a PC version as soon as Spring of 2014 that will have it's own power supply and have all the same…

I like that your analogy for infidelity uses swinging.
