@dragonborn_ct: I'm pretty sure Dark Messiah is available through the Xbox Live Marketplace (if you have Xbox) as a Direct download!

Finally got to play Battleblock Theatre,now that's a cool,challenging and cooperative game.

I love that game. One of the funniest I've ever played.

Anyone ever play Dust, on Xbox Live Arcade? Recently got it, it's pretty fun so far.

It's the most amazing arcade cooperative game ever.I mean,gotta love the union between Behemoth and New Grounds,it's giving us masterpieces,not only Battleblock,but Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid were great games.

Anyways,do you want to play it any time?I'm free this weekend =D

Sure, what's your gamertag?

And yeah, I enjoyed Alien Hominid, and absolutely loved Castle Crashers. I think it's cool how BattleBlock Theater was inspired by the PDA minigame in Alien Hominid, and even has that catchy music on the soundtrack.

Started Ni No Kuni a little earlier. Not too far in. Still through the battle system tutorial. Probably play more in half an hour.

Hows it going so far?

@jonny_anonymous: I'm like 3/4 hours in and the tutorial is still going on lol. It seems almost done though. Lots of dialogue throughout the tutorial. The main character hasn't really grown on me but Mr. Drippy has a lot of personality. Drippy reminds me a lot of Craig Ferguson. The graphics look similar to Wind Waker. =D

When the gorilla is flashing yellow, it means they are going to grab you. Ninja run away from them. Watch their movements because they tend to jump off walls. Buying the Defensive Offensive and air parry can help as well.

Started the Walking Dead game i got from someone. But i can't really call it a game, the story is good so far but it's an interactive story really. It's not bad, but not what i look for in a game either. I want to actually play :p

@aiden_cross: The Walking Dead is basically what is known as an "adventure" game. A fully interactive point and click story which is entirely focused on story and character interaction rather than actual gameplay.

@deranged_midget: yeah i know it's a game. But it just doesn't feel to me like a game by my own definition of the word :) With adventure game i think of something like Uncharted or Tomb Raider. It's not bad by any means, don't get me wrong. And you're absolutely right.

But it's just not what I expected it to be :)

@aiden_cross: Haha, Uncharted or Tomb Raider are what is known as Action/Adventure games ;) Similar games to Telltale's the Walking Dead have been around for a long time, they just go largely unnoticed and tend to be situated on the PC.

Having said that, I myself was in your position and craved some zombie killing action but trust me, play through the five episodes and you won't regret it. That games digs into you like no other game has before. It's all about moral choice and it does not take it lightly.

Can't wait for the full trailer of this. Anyone else feel like the two will team up for this game? Would make an epic duo imo.

The awkward moment when Arkham Origins has a four minute cinematic that is better than any of Batman's previous animated films.

It's average. Your standard third-person shooter with the odd exception of horrendous friendly and enemy A.I.

In terms of pure animation, it's not even a contest. Obviously Red Hood and DKR are full-length and hold a genuine plot but man, make a full length film utilizing that CGI tech and Origins premise and that'd make one heck of a movie.

@deranged_midget: Lol! I had to check my computer clock to see my time zone. xD According to Google I'm three hours ahead of Pacific time. Good thing. =D 10 AM is usually the time I start waking up. xD Have to say, console wise I'm probably gonna go for Xbox since I'm sure Halo will remain an exclusive since that's Microsoft's baby. This gen I had both consoles (got the PS3 from dad and 360 from brother) but next gen I'm sticking to Xbox and PC hopefully. =D

I'm gonna watch it on Giant Bomb, there gonna have two streams, one with just the regular microsoft stuff and one with them talking through it. I'v always been a PS guy so I'll likely get it then an Xbox somewhere down the line. Apparently Bungies next game will be on Xbox and PS

Destiny? That's gonna be a fun title. Never watched GB's streams though yet I lurk on there a lot. 0.0

Can't wait for E3 as well. Watch that every year. =D E3 is my favorite time of the year to be honest. Always get so excited over the trailers and people there. xD

One thing that sucks about not getting a PS4 is that I probably can't play Uncharted 4 then. D= Naughty Dog always comes out with fun games. Miss Crash.

@deranged_midget: Wanna know something weird? I have wireless internet yet cannot sign onto Xbox Live unless if I plug the router or modem plug (don't know which one is which lol) into the Xbox. 0.o I've only done that once since the router and modem are in the living room where parents always are but if I ever want to add friends I gotta do it through my laptop on the Xbox's website. 0.0

But you are right though. Almost everything is connected to the internet now. We have technology. =D

I also don't get the name; Ghost died in MW2, if I'm correct... or did he? I feel it's either going to finally kill the series, or finally rejuvenate the series.

I'm thinking the title is more coincidental than anything. It's probably more in relation to a tactical approach to the series. A more elite group of soldiers in control of stealthier tactics, possibly camouflage options. Kind of like a first-person Ghost Recon?

That would elevate the series. I'm tired of running around in multiplayer just runnin' and gunnin' all day. Tactics would really be nice. And COD is heading in the futuristic path, so... who knows?

But if it is THAT similar to Ghost Recon, I wouldn't say coincidental is the right word; more like copying. I like the stealth aspec, but I don't want it to be THAT similar.

@kramotz: I'm sure the team at Infinity Ward is more than creative enough to create a new formula with the new engine that Call of Duty will undertake with the next generation of consoles. With a seemingly obvious departure from the Modern Warfare "universe", it's possible that they could do something fresh and unique with the series.

To be honest, I was never a fan of the Dragon Age series, I just couldn't get into the combat. I love the universe and I've watched my cousin play through the entirety of both games but I could personally never stand more than 10 minutes of it myself.

From what I've heard, Dragon Age is utilizing a completely new engine, Frostbite was it? They're apparently revamping combat or are they taking a more central approach as they did with Origins?
