I can't wait for Halo CE Anniversary. The terminals look like great additions to the game and I look forward to seeing how they plan on having that tie into Halo 4.

@the_shpydar It's fantastic. Some of the level design gets extremely frustrating at the end and maybe even a bit questionable, but it's still a freaking awesome game. WayForward is beyond on of my favorite developers!

I'd recommend for those who own both the 360 and PS3 to get it on the PS3 for one main reason, and that's that the game plays much better with the D-pad, and the PS3 controller offers the best D-pad between the two.

I'd have to agree with that. That's probably my biggest (only?) complaint with the game (and that's not really about the game, rather the system's controller) — plenty of jumps where i wished there was a good d-pad, as you need that extra digital precision.

i just played Gears of War 3 (after 1&2) through with my friend. It was pretty fun playing co-op, but i have a few several complaints: First af all, the story in every GoW is below bad. It's like been made by bunch of teenagers (manchildren). If you enjoy B-action movies with never ending amounts of one-liners, it's propably entertaining. The ending of GoW 3 was incredibly corny, and the way SPOILER Marcus Fenix murders the locust queen is downright repulsive. And why is the queen of locust a human being? There'd better be a good reason 'cos otherwise that's the most senseless thing ever.
Secondly, the action is incredibly repetitive. Run, cover, shoot ad infinitum. The boss fights on the other hand were a blast, but it would still be boring to play the campaign through alone.
The audiovisual experience were pretty much the same as in the last two games, and we played the game through in 11 hours. All in all, this could have been an expansion to Gow 2 (which could have been the first game's expansion). All the three games are so similar that it could well be only one, 30 hour game. I would give GoW 3 a 7.0/10.

Hey guys, make sure you check out the massive sales on XBL right now. Outland and The Maw for only 400MSP each is a steal!

Just hit 1000/1000 on Dead Island. Now I need to decide between finishing Fallout: New Vegas or Dragon Age 2. I only need to stay occupied until Skyrim comes out in a few more weeks.

Daytona USA is coming to XBLA and PSN:

First Radiant Silvergun, then Guardian Heroes, then Sonic CD and now this. SEGA's been on a roll lately.

You can register for the beta of the new Metro Dashboard before it drops next month.

DA2 probably won't take as long, but Fallout will be much more rewarding and perhaps not make you feel dumber having played it.
_{I did not like the changed made to Dragon age...}

Daytona USA's theme song was and still is cringeworthy.

Just got Final Fantasy XII

Cool, so what do you guys think about how the dashboard looks?

Yes, but still a awesome game.

I think I have one of the versions of Daytona USA for the Saturn somewhere. Too bad I don't know where that or the Saturn are at.

Anybody want to add me? If you do i'll give you my GamerTag. I play Halo: Reach, Gears of War 2, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, and Call of Duty 4.

As a user of a Windows Phone 7, and a big fan of the Metroi UI, I'm digging the pictures I've seen of it so far. I didn't sign up for the beta, but I guess I'll know for sure when it's finally rolled out to us common folk.

Yup cant wait...I notice a change on Xbox.com today... looks pretty good.

Halo Anniversary releases soon, anyone else picking that up?

Not sure. Have the money but was going to get Mario 3D land.

I was gonna pre-order it, but now I gotta focus on the PS3.
