Bundling these two products together and preventing the individual sale of either without the other is called "tying" and it's illegal. The issue is MS will claim it's only one product (excuse the pun).

I'd be interested in that slightly old story about negative Kelvin temperatures getting on the show.

Oh you're actually quite right. Did a quick google and found that there is a difference between "assault rifles" and "assault weapons" - assault rifles being the all purpose killing machines and assault weapons being a political term based those arbitrary things you mentioned like bayonet lugs...

Assault rifles ban should be completely unquestioned, assault rifles were designed as an ultimate all purpose killing machine and citizens (or police really) shouldn't have access to them. The video game violence research will definitely be unbiased because they don't have an agenda, they don't...

Wow, this much just be the dumbest thing I've ever read. How did Square Enix think people were going to react? Regardless of what us gamers familiar with Hitman think, as soon as some who's never heard of the franchise sees this of course they will freak out. To them it understandably must seem...

Man I don't get why people are arguing with this. Oh permabans are a bad idea. Waah people are too stupid to mute their mics. Bullshit guys, this policy is designed to ban assholes who offend woman and that's it. If you're not a sexist twat then there's nothing for you to worry about; and if you...

This is an in-depth theoretical economics study into video game pricing in New Zealand (and Australia to a smaller extent). It's also an open letter to EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Bethesda, 2K Games and any other big publisher who happens to see this and anyone else who sees this. I know it's big...

Pretty sure they're from PAX Prime, see TGS Podcast #23.

Well actually, Jesse Cox and (maybe) Dodger from The Game Station podcast have that hat and they both provide news. So yeah. Deal with that.

I just checked the Metro 2033 wiki (yes there is one). Apparently we're both wrong, those dogs are called "Watchers" and the tiny pink ones from the underground are called "Lurkers" (though they are apparently just juvenile Watchers). I thought they were all just different breeds of nosalis. I...

Those dog things are called "nosalises" by the way. Yeah, even in Metro 2033 they were bad at making the player realise what they were called, I guess now they just assume you already know.

What about Crysis 2? I thought everyone agreed it was (or at least was close to) the best looking game on consoles this generation, and it's pretty damn colourful. Also the technology and power of PC gaming rigs means games like The Witcher 2 or StarCraft 2 on max settings are mega-colourful...

Gearbox ported the original Halo to PC, perhaps Activision doesn't want any repeat performances?

This, I just want this. But I also want more traditional western fantasy magic, arcane type stuff, instead of just flames, frost and lightning.

EDIT: Double up post. Escapist told me I had to enter a captcha and post again for some reason.
