Connor seems barely concerned with the overall struggle of the Assassins. There are some really interesting questions raised about the state of the Assassin Order worldwide, but it's never really explored. I get that it's supposed to be a story very personal to Connor, but to me it felt disingenuous, like he's just…

This is outstanding.

Don't forget the GIANT Halo 4 ad right in the center, or ESPN or YouTube (which are just ads telling you to use those apps).

You guys are crazy. Modern Warfare 3 was still all sorts of awesome. Just because a Call of Duty game is released every year doesn't mean you have to play one every year. I only played the Modern Warfare games, so by the time each came out, I was totally ready for it, and it delivered. Really fun game.

It's stupid if you think about it for five seconds. It's pretty smart if you think about it for ten seconds. It's brilliant if you think about it for thirty seconds. At a minute, it goes back to being stupid, but at about a minute and a half or two minutes, it's back to being brilliant.

I'm glad the headline was already updated. Thanks to all these Steam sales, I don't really "play games" with Steam, per se. I just buy them, intend to play them, then don't. Repeat two months later with the next sale.

Yeah, that's the part that I feel like they should've been most offended by. Not the nature of the content or the medium, but the fact that the code wasn't even accessible unless you hacked the game to find it, which required extra devices. It's like trying to re-rate a movie because a deleted scene was too racy.

I just want someone to get me six more Move controllers so I'll be ready for Johann Sebastian Joust. That's the only thing holding that game back.

Amazing stuff. Loved the Funky Barn spoiler. Very M. Night Shyamalan.

You spelled "typoes" wrong. It's "typos." The ultimate irony.

YEAH! I loved the comedy club in GTA IV. I really hope this actually happens now.

I think it's more of "having options." He talked about being able to wake up with the Wii U gamepad near him, turn everything on and start playing all from his bed. Or switch from the living room to the bathroom and back again. Or letting his wife take the TV. With the Vita, there's no option to play it on the TV when…

Give it another shot. I don't use Origin, but that just reminded me of the Zune software. When it first came out, it was GARBAGE. Now it's actually really cool. I'm sure Origin has improved plenty.

Spotify is ad-supported and has license agreements with the rights-holders. Netflix is a paid service that also pays the rights-holders. That's not pirating at all. And a lot of music on YouTube is put up there by the artists or the labels, and ad-supported. Plus, there's a difference between copyright infringement…

Seriously, great article. Did not expect it to be nearly as interesting as it was.

I feel like, after a year or two of a new console being on the market, the manufacturer should just stop producing and supporting the previous iteration. Yeah, you squeeze out extra sales, but it cannibalizes the new console. Sony still supports the PS2 and it sold extremely well for a long time, and I'll bet that…

You think that looks like realism? Oh, god. I wish I lived in your world. Go look up some of the numerous design diaries they did and you'll see how wrong you are. They weren't going for realism at all. More realistic than TF2, yeah, but still not realistic.

It's not like Sony decided "fighting disease is boring now." If you read the statement Stanford gave, it sounds like they just don't need as much simulated protein folding anymore. Sounds like they're moving on to the next phase thanks in part to all the PS3 users who helped them out. Which is really cool, knowing…

It was an option. I used to have it set to come on after like an hour or so, and for some reason, the minute it would turn on is when I'd come back into the room and want to play a game. You also could've left it on overnight.

The only cool thing about this is being able to navigate through the miserable EasyDrive interface while driving without having to press buttons or look at it. That was one of my least favorite parts of Burnout Paradise. Had to juggle driving at 200mph, avoiding traffic, keeping track of other drivers, and sifting…
