Assuming I can actually get access to it...

I wouldn’t say that Microsoft never appreciated them (Alan Wake still holds up IMO), but... I’m guessing the mess that was Quantum Break pushed both sides to the breakup they’re now at.

The comments here know how to read a title, but not the actual article. Or the room (for fucks sake).

Is this the first racing game ever to have a Volvo as its cover-car?

Last year, after a heavy rain, I was coming down a hill onto a highway. To get on, I have to make a sharp turn, and I guess there was some oil on the road or something because the back-end on my Impreza, for the first time ever, kicked out on me as I was making the turn.

Also: c’mon guys, doing this for Reach?

Halo Reach, both with a series of minor gameplay changes to remove its many rough edges, and a completely rewritten story so that it... has an actual story. With characters you give a shit about.

That was my last real hold-out, and I’m so happy it’s finally here.
