REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

DAILY MANIFESTO

Capcom Bombs Their Bomber

Posted on Tuesday, July 19 @ 18:20:00 Eastern by KevinS

After months of grass-roots development and a flood of love from the fans, Capcom officially decided to can the project known as Mega Man Legends 3. After all of the input and creative force behind it from their community in the DevRoom, reading through the comments section is an amazing show of solidarity against a major developer with some storied franchises under their belt (including the one that really made Capcom a household name in the first place, Mega Man).

I can't say I was on-board with offering my thoughts on the project, but with what they were trying to do by giving gamers a voice, I have to both give credit to them and cry a little. Every fan of a series - any series - wants to have their voice heard in the creation of what they love, and while projects are discontinued regularly in the pixelated world, having a say in how a project takes shape and then killing it abruptly can seriously hurt a company that tried to reach out to their fans… but when the fans reached back, they slapped the hand away.

It was a good idea I suppose, and while their "official" response on why they ended development is… well, weak and back-handed, they deserve the reaction they're getting. And thinking that this might be a BIG step back for the franchise as a whole (which is one of my favorites), I don't know if I would buy a new one and support the company that would bitch-slap its own supporters.

Capcom, you better find a way to kiss those diehards' collective ass… or learn to teleport. This one's gonna sting.

Looks it's time for Mega Man to finally turn that blaster into a fleshlight.

Aww....so wrong, but I suppose it could really help with all those long nights with no master robots to kill, or evil geniuses to thwart.

Capcom much rather just re release the same game over and over again (with a few new characters and maybe a new mode) and charge their fans too much for it. That seems to be their M.O. now.

I feel ya. I was looking forward to this sequel. At least we still got the old games to go back to. Capcom is killing their credibility. Can't safely buy a single one of their games without the fear or seeing another, better version later down the line. Sucks, reall.

Mega Man Legends 3 could have been cool. I hope they keep making the old-school styled games, those are better anyway, specially if they give the graphics the "SNES treatment"; but please no more of that Battle Network crap.

@KevinS Capcom can't kiss anybody's ass while their head is up their own.

So true. Granted Mega Man was never really known for absolutely groundbreaking material, but dammit, it was still so fun to play. As a fan of the bomber, this stung a little.

Still don't know why Capcom seems to be torpedoing its movements forward with certain franchises. From a business standpoint I suppose they have their reasons, but this is still a bummer, especially when they seem to be satisfied with resurrecting older franchises with no real steps forward (MVC3 after 10 years, DMC re-release package, etc.)

Wait, Zero is way cooler than Megaman anyway.
