Man, I got to play for 1 hour. Downloaded it, played for an hour, then 3 o'clock hit and BAM!! Kids home from school, Beta no longer accessible.

So, is there any chance this deal was brewing before the whole West and Zampella deal? Could they have gotten wind of the this deal and been opposed to it?

@(Zombie) Jölan: I can never unsee this.

I've always liked the live action Halo commercials.

@Demonbird: As much as I love Zelda and will almost certainly play the next game, each game is really the same.

@RockyRan: I would argue that Reach is taking that step to switch it up, even if its moving more into the arcade-y realm. I think we need more arcade style shooters in the wake of all this realism.

Sonic.

@icarus212001: I think it's because when Halo 3 was released, Bungie coded it specifically to load fastest off of the disk, utilizing parts of the HDD that weren't being used yet.

At first, I thought that picture of him in the costume was a screenshot of the game. Really good cosplay there.

@Mister Adequate: I would very much like to see a Japanese developed FPS, but I do agree, they cannot copy and paste what western game companies have done. I'd like to see the core of the FPS gameplay, but with that Japanese twist.

I'm getting more and more interested in this game with each new power up they include.

@Antiterra: GiantBomb had an Xboxalypse gaming session that was supposed to only last 2 hours to close out the service. Needless to say I tuned in 3 hours after it was supposed to be over and the poor guys were still playing, hoping that each hour would bring the final shutdown so they could get off.

@TRT-X: You mean this one?

@Krigo's EDGE: Screw the Rules! I have green hair!

@conman577: Far from it. I generally don't like military novels. I just found Fall of Reach to be the best of the ones I've read.

@VincentGrey: I've read a few of them and they are pretty terrible, but the one describing the ONI training program for Spartans and Master Chiefs origins was actually fairly decent.

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: Thanks for proving that there's some rationality on the internet.

@NightMystic: I think there's a huge gap in that comparison though.

Guys... I think I might be addicted. I've thought about games while not playing! Recently I started playing Pokemon Heart Gold, and I've been thinking about what my best team should be!

One thing that wasn't really brought up was the fact that there is a bi-sexual character in Dragon Age. He's very open about his bisexuality and, hey, you can have a gay relationship with him if you want!
