I heard DNF sold really-well. Must mean its a good game :/ People didn't want Rock Band 3 because there was absolutely no marketing, and it was hard to justify to the consumer that "It has these pro guitars. They're pretty cool...but they won't be out for another few months". They...

I was already beaten to SotC, but I would argue Kow Otani's best 'video game' work on that soundtrack was 'The Opened Way': The memory of coming across that first colossus with this song beating steadily in the background still lingers in my mind. The epicness of the whole scene gives me...

Almost, but not quite. Malfoy disarmed Dumbledore before Snape killed him. The Elder Wand became Malfoy's. Harry later disarmed Malfoy, and thus it became his. Discussion of something that specific to the plot should be put in a spoiler alert. It's a reveal that happens during this movie.

My thoughts: Alan Rickman proves that bit characters can be remarkably deep given the right actor. He's likely been waiting all series for what this movie gave him and he knocked it out of the park. Looking sullenly into the distance and cutting away to "19 years later" is not denouement...

Steel is used in almost every facet of American production. A discovery like this, if found applicable to larger-scale products, will not only get the American economy back on track; it will likely re-establish America as a singular super-power.

People regularly tell companies that their security is lacking. Most companies choose to brush off such comments as fear-mongering or bs. I'm starting to realize that all of these operations are actually for the overall betterment of the internet. People are starting to pay attention to...

I never would have expected to have been able to say that Yu-gi-oh was actually partially right as to where trading card technology was headed.

Bobby Kotick and the rest of the senior executives at Activision make the most money by pumping out the easiest crap to make (read: same engine as used in previous titles with light graphical updates)in the shortest amount of time as possible. It's in their best interest to milk franchises to...

Sooooo. Rock Band 3's Guitar Pro Mode. Apparently Harmonix needs to do some more publicity.

inb4 MadManonFire tries to dismiss Pro Mode. I'll just throw this out there again: Major Rock Band releases, console: 6 Major Guitar Hero releases, console: 12 (including Band Hero) Major Rock Band releases, console + mobile: 10 Major Guitar Hero releases, console + mobile: 20...

A) No, pro-mode tutorials teach you how to play songs. In the in-game pro mode, you are actually playing the song, on a real guitar. It seems as though you are completely oblivious to the fact that pro-mode uses a REAL guitar. ie: Not simply the multi-button version that you are so...

You will be surprised to note that 7 of those titles are exportable packaged DLC, made available for those who don't want to buy the songs online, and 4 of them are portable games, which should never count towards your total major releases unless it is its own franchise. Comparably, there...

Because then real musicians can pick up the game and play without having to figure out a five-button 1-dimensional translation of a 2 dimensional instrument, or be able to play keyboards. Pro-mode is not just a 'new level of hardcore'. It's completely on par with Harmonix's goal from day one...

Soooooo: Pro-mode is a tutorial, separate from the game; But it's actually a mode that lets you play a real guitar in the game; But it's not comparable to a real guitar? Dude, what the hell are you on about? You sound like the worst kind of fanboy, just grasping at straws.

Although, the official lead hasn't been announced for Uncharted as of yet. Wahlberg retracted, saying that he was misquoted.
