I know that everyone says not to judge games based on their demo.... but I just played the Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts demo and.... I can't say I don't like it.... but I am canceling my pre-order. Even at it's lower price than most other games I think I'd much rather spend my money on something else. I think that it would be a fun game to play down the road, but right now.. with so many other great games coming out, I need something that wows me.

So, I get a call today from my sister. She had, just days before, talked to our good friend Vlatko (President of Bethesda Softworks). He said he would get me a copy of Fallout 3, have it signed by a bunch of the guys, and then mail it out to me so that I don't have to travel all the way to the East coast. I very much appreciate it, but still plan on heading to the East coast considering I haven't seen him in about 2 years.

I have heard numerous grumblings about the avatars on the NXE. They are compared to the Nintendo Wii Mii's-- This is completely justified. Then again, who cares? Those that would be complaining with outright cries of betrayal are those so insecure in their adulthood that they feel need to blame microsoft for trying to ebrace a more casual approach. I realize that the 360 is home to many adult-oriented games, but that does not make it an adult only system. Beyond that fact, cartoonie caricatures do not need to be associated with kids.

ps3 1st party game...... xbox counterparts...... ??? I don't follow. A 1st party on ps3 wouldn't end up on 360.... ever.
I don't want it to be free. i don't think an entirely new game is justified.
i agree with him. The game should be discounted drastically and released as an expansion. I have not played it.... and I don't care. Unless everything in L4D is integrated into L4D2... i don't want it. Maybe we as gamers have become spoiled because of games like Rock Band 2 letting us import all the songs from Rock Band. I can't justify this purchase though. It has nothing to do with the amount of time or the fact that it's coming out "too soon". It's that I don't feel like L4D was worth 50-60 dollars in the first place and coming out with a sequel that is only marginally bigger is insulting. I know the new weather effects and all that are cool, but it's 50 to 60 dollars for essentially the same game again with a new coat of paint... if that. After about 15 or 20 minutes, and the glee of using a chainsaw wears off, it's going to feel like the same game with minor updates.
I really want to see another company handle mortal kombat and turn into a good fighting game. The characters a cool and goofy, but i think the series could do with a re-boot by a good developer.
Loved this article. Great read.
