The Nyko Zoom doesn't change the fact that Kinect is a pain in the ass to interact with. The Forza 4 head tracking doesn't help at all, and Fruit Ninja is much more enjoyable on a touch-screen. I could still use it for voice commands, but I prefer to use a conventional controller.

I can't use my Kinect until the Zoom peripheral is released. After that, head tracking will make Forza Motorsport's cockpit view feasible. I may also dabble with Fruit Ninja and Kinect Fun Labs.

It's not so much the wrong technique as the wrong input; On day one of the Gears of War 3 Multiplayer Beta, I tried to Roadie Run by pressing B and melee by pressing R3. I have no idea why I thought the Borderlands control layout would work.

During the Gears of War 3 Multiplayer beta, I tried to TK some asshat who just stood there while we were all getting creamed; I wasted a whole clip to no avail. Seriously, the only time I would consider team killing an option is if I'm stuck with a player who's crippling the team. I don't...

Chell shoots one portal at my feet and the other directly in front of a turret, or drops me onto an Aerial Faith Plate that launches me into the goo.

No, that was one ladder and one metal folding chair. If it were two ladders, and a full-height drop, I think everything around the vacuum tube would have fallen apart.

I believe I completely switched the soundtrack in Madden NFL 10; The only songs I wanted to hear were the classic NFL Films tracks, which were off by default. I didn't like the "Madden Rock" and literally couldn't care less for "Madden Hip-Hop". Thankfully, John Madden's voice was not...

I believe it was Doom 2. There was a corridor with imps on the left and former humans on the right, each group standing around barrels of toxic waste - I just ran right down the middle and the crossfire hit the barrels, killing them all at once.

No, the TC said GOOD games. I would strongly recommend Forza Motorsport 3. The difficulty settings are fully customizable so you can make it as easy or as hard as you want, and the only achievement that's truly a pain to unlock is only worth 5 points; If you have enough patience, you'll get an...

One word: Beowulf.

Well, EDI said in the cargo hold that the SR-2 is equipped to handle a land vehicle they call the Hammerhead (another breed of shark). I got bored shortly after clearing the Omega Nebula, so I don't know if you ever actually acquire one. I actually tried to get in the Mako when exploring the...

I'm from a town officially named Grove City, Ohio, but everyone calls it "Grovetucky." If you ever find yourself going to Wal-Mart on the first of the month, you should get a gallon of eye bleach.

A lightsaber blade is actually a small amount of plasma, the 4th phase of matter, contained by a magnetic field. This gives it a cylindrical shape and limits it to around 3 or 4 feet in length. This also explains why lightsabers can't cut through each other.

The DOOM series. I'm afraid to take one step without God Mode on, but I turn it up to Ultraviolent to compensate.

Actually, gun-related violence went UP after England instituted it's gun ban. There's a saying that explains this: "If all guns are outlawed, then only outlaws will have guns." If somebody puts you or your family in mortal danger, it's completely absurd to expect the police or military to...
