Co-op means cooperative, it doesn't mean play the single player campaign with multiple people. Instead of just throwing a second player in the single player campaign and calling it a day Infinity Ward took the time to create missions specifically made for 2 players. I prefer that level of dedication and care to…

But it isn't required. No where did they say that it was required to play the game, hell they didn't even say how it would be integrated (it may be side missions for all we know).

Mass Effect has always been a squad based shooter. Why not populate that squad with your friends instead of AI who need you to tell them to do something useful like overload an enemy's shields or incinerate armor?

The original thought was that it would be some kind of competitive multiplayer, like a Mass Effect does Gears of War multiplayer. No one wants that.

I really doubt that Ellis is in the Warriors long term plans. They already refused to trade Curry and with all the trade rumors surrounding Ellis the last year and a half, including some reports that Ellis to Memphis for Rudy Gay was almost done (Grizz need a scoring guard and showed they can be successful without…

I hope it is some Spec Ops (which were fantastic by the way). Mass Effect is a single player story driven game. How often do you play a game with your buddies and actually put 100% of your focus on what is happening on screen? I imagine you are talking and laughing and the game is more of a background thing.

They wanted to trade him because both he and Curry need the ball in their hands to be effective and they feel like Curry is the better PG (from a passing and set-up standpoint he is) for their future. He is still easily one of the best scorers in the league and would be able to get them something good in a trade.

Ellis will always drive to the basket first, its in his player DNA (he even passes up open shots in real life for stupid circus layups). Also, Monta Ellis passing the ball would make the world explode, dude needs more shots than Ben Gordon to be effective.

ZING!

I carry my 360 to my friends house all the time. He has the new style box so I can't just pop my hard drive into his console to play You Don't Know Jack or my extensive arcade collection.

Samus is a bounty hunter though, so I don't know if she fits the bill. Now if you did a timeline with Boba Fett—> Samus—> Jango Fett (or different colored Boba Fett if you prefer) I would agree.

I get that, but again the selling point is the NBA's Greatest, not the gamemplay and graphical improvements. You either want the NBA's Greatest or you don't as until the lockout ends that is all you are getting (and what they say is a more improved My Player).

Honestly, you already know how the game will play (an update on the already sublime 2K11) so is the demo really necessary? Most people already know if they are going to get the game or not and the demo won't really change that.

Ok, but it makes your critique much less valid when you criticize a fundamental part of the genre. Western RPGs are built on a pen and paper (D&D usually) set of rules and guidelines and that includes the player being the primary force of character development. Much like any dungeon master the game presents multiple…

I can't admit that because I didn't find Shepherd to be robotic or boring at all (especially FemShep). If you want to have a character's life and experience set out before you then maybe playing a Western RPG (where the point is player choice and character building) isn't for you.

Have you ever actually played a pen and paper RPG before? The entire point is that you are building a character however you want. They don't have a pre-set personality or attitude you breath that life into them. If you are playing the role of yourself it is because you chose that role. I made my first Shephard a…

What is wrong with giving a game a bad score if you feel it deserves it. At the end of the day a review is still representative of the writer's opinion on the game. Sure there are some things that are cut and dry (bad textures, framerate issues, etc.) but ultimately it comes down to personal preference. I would have…

There is a difference, these people posted new accounts without comments just to give the game a zero. There was no content to the score. The people who "overrate" (reviews being subjective overrating/underrating is a matter of opinion) are fine as long as they provide some reason why.

It was very risky, especially considering what it did to the system's launch price. Had Microsoft wanted to they could have made the 360 an HD-DVD unit and then who knows how that would have worked out in the long run. HD-DVD could have won the format war, even though it was inferior (remember Betamax was considered…

Using less buttons doesn't make a game dumb. Simplicity does not equate to stupidity. A game like Super Mario Bros. 3 still stands up well today and it only uses 2 buttons and a D-pad.
