@GhostTheSaint: Dude I forgot all about that video and his brother! I hope the 4th game is all about him, although I don't think breaking out of Hades would be that compelling. Kratos has done it in every game and he doesn't seem to have a problem with it. :)

My friends and I loved the HELL out of this very very crappy game. The graphics sucked, the voice acting was laughable, the boss fights were tedious and monotonous (case in point, the above clip of them running in a circle for 5 minutes.) And yet...with 4 people sitting in the room together playing, it was still a lot…

That's one of the best trailers I've ever seen for anything, ever. YES PLEASE!!! Especially considering how awesome the first one was, this is a definite must-buy for anyone who likes top-notch 2D brawlers. And death metal music.

@Tom Combs: Good point about not being able to leave a fight (if it's true I haven't played the game yet.) On the show if someone got in a fight they couldn't win they had the option to get the hell out of there (unless their warp was disabled of course.)

@modren44: I believe you are right in all your points, but I've always found it fascinating that they put us in the shoes of this uber-badass who, really, is basically the bad guy of the story. He was angry at himself, then angry at everyone else because he didn't want to feel guilty. Classic transference. :)

@firefly: Very good idea, I am now hoping this is implemented instead of Marvel vs Capcom 3. I LOVE MvC2, but I don't know how many more characters you could fit into that franchise, they're already down to Servbot for goodness sake.

@DeSpiritusBellum: I want to make love to your comedy.

@Mister Jack urges you to buy Machinarium: Thank you, thank you, no applause, please. You're making me e-blush.

@Taggart6: I have Chortles: Indeed. Bioshock 3 will be set in Savage Land. You heard it here first.

@Mister Jack urges you to buy Machinarium: It's for engaging open-pants gameplay.

@Taggart6: I have Chortles: But none of that will matter, because we all know who was behind it all along.

@ThirzaLepidus: Dude I came on here expressly to complain about the fact that choosing an Elf Rogue with two-handed abilities has gotten me killed probably 100 times by now. I don't know if I'm even gonna beat the game because I'm so sick of dying all the time. Having to change the tactics of my team for every battle,…

@pokerkick: That's my guess, that the "Andrew Ryan" in BS1 was a clone, and we're playing as either another clone or the original himself. That would be a nice reveal at the end, to discover we've taken over Rapture ONCE AGAIN, and because of our actions we've given the reins back to the original madman.

@Ronin_cse: Some might say War doesn't need to be a deep character. Link hasn't had a PERSONALITY in 20 years and people still seem to like his games. :)

@RockyRan: Your comment made me happy all over, like an old sweater that gets warmer with age. Kudos to you sir or madam.

I keep seeing Bioshock 2 impressions and gameplay vids, and although I'm not sure whether it will live up to its predecessor, they coverage has got me thinking back to my time with the first game, and how awesome it was.

@SEX_BISON: I bought it 5 mins after reading Kotaku's review of it from a couple weeks ago. Good stuff, really good puzzles that make me feel really stupid then really smart, like Braid. Only once have I had to consult an FAQ, and that's because the part I needed was simply too dark for me to see on my screen.

@jeremycole: You got me, that "feel her pain" part was a stretch. But hey, she did play a very convincing skank, no?

@McWarrior: I wish they banned people for simply being insensitive fucking douches. You are not important, so who gives a shit what you think? Just shut the hell up already.

I've played and beaten Uncharted 2 already, but I haven't even touched multiplayer because I'm typically so far behind the 8 ball on mp games that I die every 10 seconds, and people aren't usually that friendly to n00bs on their team.
