I almost snapped Super Mario Galaxy 2 in half when I opened it.

Even though Activision might struggle with sales and profits in 2011, Blizzard has stated nothing is stopping them from their goal of releasing Diablo III for this year.
Earlier in the week, Activision's main chief operator in a meeting took the game off of the 2011 release schedule and denied the possibility of the game hitting the 2011 release window. Blizzard did say that the game itself won't be rushed to meet the 2011 date but if they have the chance to release the game, they won't hold it back like most companies do when Halo or CoD gets released. Also hinted was the game broadening to more types of gamers ranging from the "15 minute" gamers to the 3+ hours per session gamers. The game is still set for a PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 release with the console versions getting the customized port and the PC being the primary platform for development. http://kotaku.com/#!5757690/blizzard...-iii-this-year ------------------------------------------------ Huge rumor involving Activision ready to make a bid to buy Take-Two and Rockstar. If it is real, Rockstar would replace the studios Activision lost from the True Crime, Guitar/DJ Hero, and Tony Hawk series. It would also give Activision the 2k series for sports. |

Okay, I just found out that Railworks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RailWorks ) has over $1000 in DLC.
What the fuck? |

EA tried to get R* and didn't work out for them, in fact it had all the splendor of a hot chick rejecting a nerd in front of his friends and family while a news crew taped it. Activision going for it should be interesting, but I doubt R* would get in bed with a publisher that just showed how quickly it would drop their ass if "GTA: 3rd Spinoff in a Year" doesn't make a billion dollars.

Yeah, I see it all the time when I visit sites like R*s site or a companies YT page. Made that graph myself and managed to get to the front page of Graph Jam for the 1st time with it.

Let's face it, motion gaming only has lateral steps from here on out. Companies will have back-to-basics catalogs to show off, as well as showing off promises from the past (playable Zelda, more 3DS action, more PSP2 action). We may see the return of a few franchises, and some new stuff that's aren't high on concept but heavy on fan service (Bungie may unveil their next FPS - rumored to be an FPS MMO).
If Nintendo is doing something with their hardware this E3 is the time to reveal it. I think they will make strides for the hardcore gamer this year. Sony may show what they have learned the past 3 years with more back-to-basics stuff I mentioned; their catalog may look like PS2's heyday, except in HD/3D. We won't care, we'll love it. Microsoft will have to preempt Sony regaining their senses and provide answers for MAG and DC Universe Online. They no longer have Bungie to themselves so they can't buffer their show with a Halo, even if the Halo 1 remake will be shown. It's no longer their ace card, they will need a new one. Gears of War 3 will be playable. Battlefield 3 will be properly revealed and the beta may drop to surf the hype. EA needs this game to be epic after MoH didn't pick up BC2's slack. Call of Duty's next phase or whatever will be revealed. Do not have feelings that it will impress. No music games to trump this year. Activision's suite of Marvel games will have to do. Rockstar will have something to show that isn't LA Noir. These aren't prophecies so don't shoot me if they don't come to pass, but all of this is what I have in mind. |

You Don't Know Jack is pissing me off. Every version bar the DS is region locked. It's even on Steam, but not in the UK. Probably won't ever come out here either, they did the UK specific one (complete with shitter presenter but better credits adverts) and then we had no other versions.
The Steam version is fucking bits and bytes, take my money you cunts. |

The Steam version is fucked up anyway. It only supports 2 players, no DLC support, and is local multiplayer only. The old part of me that has all the old YDKJs hates that the PC got boned, but I understand why they've focused on the console market.
It is only 20 bucks, though. |

Looks like Activision found a way to replace the expensive Guitar Hero sets for a year since the new Spyro is going to cost over $250 to get the complete experience ($40-$60 for the game, $10 each for every figurine to buy and scan for the game).
30 little figurines alone for the game once Activision completes the set for the game. |

I highly doubt Spyro and his toyline will snag the Guitar Hero demographic.

Finished Assassin's Creed 2. Hated it. Not as much as I hated 1 but still hated it. The controls are so terrible and the AI is stupid and combat dumb and everything is dumb. It probably smells bad too.
The only reason I kept interest was because I enjoyed the setting much more than in the last game. The story is kind of fun too. Dunno what happened to Da Vinci. I guess maybe we find out in the next game. Which I'll Goozex next year sometime probably. I liked the end too where the fate of the Earth rests in your hands and so the bad guy breaks in through the wall and sends a security team with fold out batons to stop you. |

I like the scope of the story. It keeps getting bigger than you think it is. Like, I havn't beaten 2 yet, but I got all the glyph locations, and I love the movie you get.
Always loved religious themed stories, especially alternative takes on it like this one. |

The director of the development team for Batman: Arkham City announced no multiplayer modes will be included in the game when it goes on sale.

Also leaked was Ubisoft will be using NGP and 3DS games to subsidize iphone and phone games. The plan is to port the handheld games to phones and make a lot of money from the cheap ports and low cost but lots of buyers on the phone market. |

Any hope for the revival of the NFL 2k series or other football games with NFL license outside of Madden has to wait even longer now.
EA and the NFL agree on exclusive contract extension till 2013. Originally deal was set to expire next year but NFL gave EA an extra year due to the potential of a lockout hurting Madden 12 sales. |
