there had better not be one single recycled asset on any of the three discs. If all the maps are different, and all three campaigns are as long as the three combined campaigns in the first starcraft, then sure, it's worth it. Otherwise, I'll be passing.

@Mister_Jack: Smart money is on a wiretapping minigame.

@Mister_Jack: I would defend him until my dying breath - I would never turn that game off.

@lighten up, morrissey: Nah, that's not Michal Bay's dream - not enough explosions. If it were Michael Bay's dream at least one of those helicopters would be on fire, and there'd be a large explosion (possibly with a mushroom cloud) going off in the background.

@TheTimeisback4Good: I'll play it, but I'll stand still the whole time, and let the extremists have at them

..... am I tasked w/ protecting McCain, or Obama? The answer will determine whether I'm interested in this game.

@What The Geek: and before anyone jumps on me for that comment, let me clarify - yea, they're MORE successful in Japan, however, to say they've reached a 10 percent level of globalization is silly - I don't know a gamer in any region where video games are sold that is unaware of Squenix. Obviously, I'm not privy to…

Is Wads San unaware of Squenix's success in other regions w/ the final fantasy series?

Alright, now for the serious comment. Google is a fairly innovative company. They're also the biggest pusher of online advertising the world has ever known. I'd be interested to see what sort of creative things they came up with... and I'd also be interested (in more of a negative way) in seeing how they integrate…

Yea!! It's good to see the little guy stepping up and challenging big business!!

Unreal Tournament 3 for the PS3 for the low low price of $8. Gamefly rawks.

Yay!! I have no PS3 friends!!

@convercide: and I didn't sell halo. They made a game I want to keep - I was more gearing my statement at the industry as a whole. I see why publishers don't like GS's business model of profiting on used games, but at the same time, that's capitalism for you. Like I said, if you're worried about it, make a game with…

@AdeptVoice: I'll definitely agree with that - gamestop pulls every penny they can out of their customers, and gains a significant amount of their profits from the used game market, and the publishers never see any of that - raw deal. Gamestop is double dipping on each used game, and that's not really cool.

booboo effing hoo. I paid for it, I own it, and if I want to sell it, I will. If publishers are worried about the used games market, make games I don't want to sell later on. Games with a great multiplayer element, or games that are constantly updated with fresh content. If your game loses my attention I'm likely to…

Well, that's it - LBP officially melted my brain.

Anyone else find it ironic that this news comes right before a big GTA4 play and win weekend on XBL?

not really a party in the strictest sense, but I am drinking to celebrate!!

@liquid_kore: Thanks.... although I did die a little inside when the notification "jackthompson is now your friend" came up.

@Noks415: He didn't lose his career - he threw it away by misusing the legal system for his own ends. The punishment fits the crime, and let's be clear here, he did commit a crime.
