So, were I to still own a 360 and want to download alternate costumes, I would have to purchase my arch nemesis? I call Booo-urns to that! :o

What, no Cammy? Too cheeky for your tastes, Microsoft? That's a total bummer.

@ikiddo: I can see where you're coming from with that, and there are many that feel the same way. Mistakes were made and there haven't been answers given to them, which often happens. However, that is no excuse for not paying the people who made Activision billions of dollars via one of their biggest franchise the…

The next trailer had better have Movie Guy Voice say, "Prepare to be taken for a ride... again!"

It would sound better in hip-hop form. Just saying.

The robots are totally going to take down you pathetic fleshy humans and felines. Your screams and meows will do nothing against their cold machinery! [O_O]

@AngelMayLaugh Loves Rashida Jones: Noticed that too. Perhaps it's an indication about the sales trends for the systems? Then again, FFXIII can sort of be attributed to having a single disc release on the system it's been on since the previous generation. Many people bought a PS3 awhile back waiting for FFXIII and…

@Godmars: :raises hand:

@Evdor: EA is in a good position because they are developing new IP that can compete in the future, something that Activision has utterly failed to do in the last several years. Relying on a few pillar IP can yield amazing income as seen by CoD and Guitar Hero, but when those pillars show signs of weakness, you had…

@NeonLight: That is very true, but think about Activision's long-term outlook. In the short term, the next CoD game is important to them to gauge how the audience is reacting to this news. It will most likely sell well based on what you said, because the vast majority of gamers do not read gaming news or know anything…

@NinjaBurg3r: It would if two people decided to "play" it.

Good idea. It would work even better if you sold the ability to play the game... for $10 trillion! O_O

Were I to play WoW, I'd be sooo tempted to get Li'll XT. Robot companion? Hellz yeah! Too bad I'll never go back, MMO's are cracktacular.

Yep, the 'ol ragdoll physics having collision issues in world geometry. Causes things to freak the hell out! My favorite is Fallout 3, where dead bodies (even severed heads!) just start shaking around like mad. Extra effective because it causes a lot of disturbing noises. o_o

Playing games late at night tends to keep me up tossing and turning, but only certain types. I find that if I play a puzzle game (Planet Puzzle League, Bejeweled 2, Super Puzzle Fighter), it becomes easier to nod off, whereas if I am playing an FPS/RPG, that level of thought process stays with me. Probably different…

@Evilsoda: That was 1,000 years ago, this is today. Things most likely will never change to the point where everyone earns a fair wage under fair conditions, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be apathetic about the issue and not actively try to avoid such products when I can.

@Karasu-kun: @shufflemoomin: That, and find the products being produced under good conditions in countries like China. You are right in thinking the vast majority of people will pay less for cheaply produced products, but to change that trend, people have to take action.

I'm sure many, many people will blame the child for being addicted to computer games. Hope that somebody asks why the child would be so detached from the world as to need to have his computer games over his father, because that sounds like it is less about the games and more about something else entirely.

@Brandon Strader: This "retarded response" happened several weeks ago, before this article was brought to my attention... today. Please reconsider your own kneejerk reactions to responding to other people's opinions.
