LATEST FEATURESBeing A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.
Before Microsoft and Sony do something regarding their future in the video game business, I wanted to write, and I've wanted it for a long time now, but other things kept getting in my way, and fearing that tomorrow might be too late, today will have to do.

What Are You Playing? October 6th, 2012
Posted on Saturday, October 6 @ 10:30:00 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
I got a sweet taste of my most anticipated title of the entire year yesterday. Assassin's Creed III is three weeks away, but Ubisoft saw fit to give me a taste yesterday in a multiplayer event. I can't say... well, anything about the game, but obviously I WISH I were playing more this weekend.
Instead, I'm heading into Revelations multiplayer to brush up on some skills that were... severely rusty yesterday. I didn't exactly embarass myself, but I didn't make Momma and Papa assassin proud. I'd also like to play some more Sound Shapes this weekend ahead of a busy week revolving around Dishonored and XCOM: Enemy Unknown.
FTL, Torchlight, Bit.Trip Runner, and the Xcom demo. Also trying out the rest of the games from the Humble Indie Bundle but nothing that's grabbed my attention yet.
Just finished Warhammer Space Marine. The cutscenes are a lot more epic then your normal cutscenes and they are all rendered in the engine so the whole game at a buttery smooth 120fps made the game a real enjoyable experience.
Now Im playing Red Faction Armageddon and waiting for dishonored.
I love Relic due to CoH's, though the demo to Space Marine didnt quite sell me on the game. Do I need to play a bit more to start to enjoy? (I died alot in the demo.)
Guild Wars 2... where is everyone!? Also TL2 and a secret... Did boot up FF13 and found something better to do before the title screen... must beat it before this trend continues!
Torchlight 2, Borderlands 2, FTL. Also picked up Homefront from the discount bit and now I want the name and address of the retarded monkey that designed turret controls for this game....I solemnly swear to make that bastards death so slow, painful and utterly completely inhumane that just reading about it in newspaper will force people into PSD therapy...other than that its ok, the battle for Golden Gate Bridge feels more like war than any CoD did since CoD2.
the setting is great. really makes the statement. its the little things that are annoying (like the fact you cant pick up enemy weapons/ammo) or just straight infuriating (see the comment above for the turret rant).
Back on Skyrim once again! I sold my Xbox copy about a month ago but I've been playing my brothers PC version..... now i want my old copy back because i bought the Dawnguard DLC on Xbox about a week before I sold the game and never used it... and I've grown a liking for vampires.
I'm not really sure how to transfer them to cloud so I'd say no.... But I would think I still have my original save file on my Xbox HDD. My PC file isn't too far into the game, only about 10 hours, but it sucks to be taken out of the file you're playing and have to start a new one, no matter how far in.
Problem solved! I bought Skyrim on Xbox yet again. Strange how things turned out, I traded Skyrim to make Ghost Recon:FS cheaper, never finished GR and traded it to get Skyrim cheaper again.
not a lot. I'll be getting Dishonored and NFS: Most Wanted, but other than that my two most anticipated games are Splinter Cell Blacklist and Metal Gear Rising
Mmm gunzerker, to hold a shotgun that shoots mini rockets in one hand and a smg that shoots slag and tosses like a grenade when you reload it in the other. Commando will be next, that sentry and its abilities make me smile.
Since there is an NDA in effect, I can't say weather or not I'll be playing the Mechwarrior Online Beta this weekend. If I were playing it, I would say that I was having a good time while doing so.
Skyrim, NHL 13 & a bit of Medal of Honor beta... game looks so bad though and it doesn't feel like anything new... I know graphics don't make a game but it looks damn BAD, feels like im playing on PS2.
The PC version is miles better than the X360 beta would suggest. I'm a little disappointed with the Xbox version myself. Sorry if I had any hand in overhyping it for you.
Just finished both Darksiders and Psychonauts from part of my backlog. Probably gonna start the witcher next for the next part of the backlog. Also playing TL2 and LOL a bit.
Speaking of which Psychonauts was an amazing game and I recommend it to everyone. It has a few control issues and there's a few moments where you have no idea how to use certain items but other than those small issues it's a great game.
Finally on play through 2 on Borderlands 2. Still Playing One Piece Pirate Warriors Sonic Adventure 2 HD
Tokyo Jungle is taking up most of my time. Game is easy to jump into but its a ,"just one more thing game." Its so freaking hard to stop playing once you start.
Picking up Pokemon Black Version 2 tommorw, and really looking forward to Assassins Creed III and Lego Lord of the Rings on the 30th
I've been curious about pokemon black/white 2. It just seems like there is even less change in this iteration than previous iterations so I'm probably hold off on it for a while.
I have played about an hour of Black 2, and to me it seems to have more differences than the other 3rd Versions did. It actually almost feels like a whole new game so far. So far the first two towns i have been to are new, new first gym leader, and the story is new. Though for some reason i am not as psyched to play this compared to how i was when Platinum came out. I think for that to happen again Pokemon needs to have a main game on 3DS.
Words with Friends... Im on my drilling rig for 3 more days, then I go on vacation for 2 weeks, then back to the rig for 2 weeks more. It will be some time before Im gaming again.
Once I get some free time though, I'm thinking RE6 and Dishonored.
And maybe play a huge backlog of games...[Mass Effect 2 (maybe 10% finished), Skyrim (maybe half way?), Dark Souls (J/K Im selling this), Valkyrie Chonicles (2 levels left), there might be 1 or 2 more.]
just finished the phenomenal MASS EFFECT 2! such a great game! now im playing a 2nd time on insanity... it is so F'N frustrating! a game hasn't pissed me off this much since NINJA GAIDEN 2! now that was a controller breaker... ...lol...
I've never submitted to the torturous insanity playthrough, but yes ME2 is fantastic. I still prefer ME3's gameplay, but I think the characters and writing were better in ME2.
I CANT WAIT TO PLAY MASS EFFECT 3!!! hopefully i will be getting it later this year...
I feel they really stripped a lot of depth from the RPG side of ME2 but they more than made up for it in story and characters! i thought the story was nothing short of EPIC... and... the cast of characters was far better than ME1... on top of that they really improved: movement, shooting & cover mechanics...
did ME3 return some of the stripped elements??? did they add anything else? or is it more of the same?
There are some elements that are returned, like nuance in the skill point system. If you can believe it, the movement, shooting, and cover mechanics are even FURTHER improved in ME3.
It's possible! We'll see in the next few months. It depends on Microsoft's next-gen plans I suppose. They may not want to spend the money bringing it over.
Been on a pseudo-retroey kick lately, just finished playing through Shadow of the Colossus (HD PS3 port) for the first time; was blown away by how well it has aged, incredibly mad at myself having never checked it out last generation. Just started Hitman: Blood Money having never gotten into the series before after numerous recommendations and having a blast with it as well!

I'm MURDERING people on Xbox Live MK...everyone is scared of me cause I have a 4 -1 win ration in tag and a 3 -1 ratio in ranked single matches.
Battlefield 3 is my favorite game - takes up about 20 GB on my hard drive and I love flying helicopters and spawn killing.
