    The Gifts

    Y'know what's funny? I read Lando's lines in Louis's (of Left 4 Dead) voice.

    Trailers: Gears of War 3 - Horde Command Pack Trailer

    I love it when characters narrate the DLC trailers. Cole did one, then Baird. Who's next?

    Zero Punctuation: Batman: Arkham City

    I don't use Steam, I buy games by the disk like a lot of people. My point is, I shouldn't have to feel chastised just because I want to be pre-owned to save some cash.

    Zero Punctuation: Batman: Arkham City

    Since he brought it up... I understand the plight of game developers these days, but I shouldn't have to feel bad for buying pre-owned. No other industry complains about this sort of thing. I know developers and publishers don't make any money off pre-owned sales (and I REALLY hate GameStop)...

    Chicken Theme Continues in New Gears of War 3 Easter Egg

    This reminds me of the "Vampire Nightmare" Easter Egg minigame in Metal Gear Solid 3.

    Zero Punctuation: Gears of War 3

    Took me a while, but here is my discussion provoking comment: I (RE: me personally) cannot take Yahtzee's opinion on shooters seriously anymore. Clarify: He expects too much out of them. I remember him complaining that the action paced in CoD: Black Ops was to frantic. What the hell do you...

    Extra Punctuation: Why No Couples in Games?

    I love the Gears of War series, but I don't get that "arr-gwar" macho man vibe from Marcus and his crew (except Cole, but he's clearly a caricature of his respective voice actor). It makes sense to me; who's else would you send to fight herculean, nightmarish, subterranean monsters? But on to...

    Trailers: Rock of Ages - Rock Beats Everything Trailer

    That rock looks a lot like the Ego Orb from Earthbound.

    Dick Moves in Gaming

    No More Heroes: Rank 2 boss battle (Bad Girl). She's kneeling on the ground, seemingly stunned, and visually wide open for an attack. Give in to this temptation, and you get a nice cutscene of her knocking Travis down, mounting him, and whaling him on the head with her bat; it's an instant kill...

    Critical Miss: Stowaways Smash

    Am I the only one who recognized Mister Mosquito?

    The Big Picture: The Other Street Fighter

    This has been the most surreal episode of "The Big Picture" thus far. All those "WTFs" were perfectly timed. MUST...SEE...THIS...MOVIE.

    Australian Ratings Board Upholds Mortal Kombat Ban

    You'd think publishers would offer/advertise import options to circumvent this problem.

    300 Missions Await Players of Mortal Kombat Reboot

    I've never really played anything in the Mortal Kombat series before... but now I really want this game.
