I've got my XboxOne pre-ordered. I freely admit to being a gadget geek an dgetting stuff early. I also think games like Watchdog and Ghost are probably meant to be played on the new hardware, with the 360/PS3 versions being scaled back to run. It could be wishful thinking on my part though.

Problem with Wii U is most of them were multiplats from the current gen, often at least a year old. These are upcoming games.

I'm a little disappointed by the review- but I'll still get the game. Largely because there is so little out and I'll play the heck out of Co-op and MP in addition to a run the SP story.

I just can't follow the premise here. Really if you are 'broke' you aren't getting either system. One might cost more, but they are both expensive luxury items and really if you can't afford an Xbox One you probably can't really afford a PS4 either. At least not at the launch/early adopter phase.

Realistically - does it matter? once gaming online is behind the pay wall what difference does it make? I think most people play online and since both require it in the next round how many people does it affect? I get the console to game (still undecided on which this time) so I'll pay for one of their services. …

Intersting fact - most people don't care because they have multiple other devices that can Skype

Is this anything more than a technicality? If you are playing games and want to share share stuff online you are most likely playing (at least some) games online like racing or fps games. So technically you can do it on a PS4 but you are likely paying anyways to play online so it is a non point besides Sony being…

When one of the major problems of the console is brand confusion and that bran confusion presents itself in an ad - then yes, it is fair game for a story that illustrates the point.

I have completely ignored the trading cards - are they anything useful/fun/good?

Just just hit$11 by picking up Dues Ex - the ipad game had me feeling nostalgic for it so $2.99 seemed ok to satisfy the craving.

Here is hoping you're right and they end with a bang.

This is what the steam sale has always been for me:

It'll tell you in the description if you can. I've bought games on Amazon that are Steam codes (XCOM most recently) but it'll tell you that you are buying a Steam code.

This is by far the worst steam sale I can recall. They really have nothing to offer in the sense that these prices aren't special. Most of these games routinely hit the prices they are offering. They clearly don't have enough to run for the length of the sale with all the repeats. But the deals don't seem as…

While I'd rather have a console or PC game, my problem isn't with the iOS part of the story. I'd give that the benefit the doubt as I have enjoyed some iOS games like Warhammer, Infinity Blade and the new Deus Ex game.

Destruction of the human race and the planet?

My guess is they judged the online play like the rest - looking at the concept and potential. Who knows if they will live up to it. But as a concept - online game might be the only one I'd have actually picked it for.

You have to consider that the awards are best of show for E3 - a show that is all about stuff that isn't out yet. It isn't like it won game of the year in a general since from a publication or anything. It was judged the best of what was displayed at the show. I disagree with the selection but whatever.

Market was a lot different then. The market now is way over saturated. You have Xbox, Playstation, Wii (with a mix of generational hardware about to be in play for all of them) plus hand helds like Vita 3DS plus iOS/Android mobile gaming, plus these new budget boxes like Ouya that are made for mobile on the TV…

The stat is a little misleading - because if you have anything from Google like gmail, you technically have a G+ account. There are plenty of people (like me) who have a G+ and have never done thing one with it. They are no where close in terms of active accounts.
