    Yeah. They announced two or three years ago I think. I might get it. I haven't played the previous two... for that matter I still haven't played Half-Life... this is what happens when you run out of money XD.

    I never played through Half-Life, but I did play through Half-Life 2, which I really enjoyed. If your strapped for cash, you could always get the Orange Box for fairly cheap at a used game store.

    Only thing that dissapoints me with half life experience these days is the episode crap. Just release number 3!

    Half life 2 and Duez Ex put so many other fps to shame (talking single player). If only they could continue this kind of quality.

    Valve has earned a significant amount of disdain from me recently. L4D though fun, is a rip off. You pay $50 for a game that has the content of a $10 game and the replayability to make it worth maybe $15. Is Valve going to make buying this game worth our while? No. They're just going to make a sequel and hope no one realizes Valve is stealing their money.

    Plus, it's annoying that they have HL2, HL2-Episode 1, and HL2-Episode 2 in that order. That was so confusing the first time I played, I actually started on Episode one thinking, that it was the first chapter.

    Yeah, L4D is there for the vs. mode. And even then...Xbox live community. Though L4D's community isn't nearly as bad as Halo 3's, (for right now) it's still a bunch of hooting dickholes. Finding competant players is hard. I've found that the TF2 community, albeit smaller, is fairly solid so far.

    I own the PC version. I've actually found the community either non-talkative, or enjoyable to be around. Lots of people with a good sense of humor. VS on the PC is horrible though. It can take hours to find a game with enough people to actually play. I gave up on it. Even if VS worked, there's no where near enough content in the game to make it worth it's price tag. Even the recent content patch is worthless. All they did was add one segment of new lvl for survival mode, and take the rest of the campaigns stay alice events and make them longer.

    At the end of today's review, he shows an email from some guy who thought he actually had the game. Also, anyone else pumped about Team Ninja's Metroid?

    Yep. Though, I don't agree with him on everything. That line is great! I use it whenever I can.

    I rarely agree with him. I watch him because he's hilarious XD. I loved his Oblivion Review. I hadn't even noticed the Emperor was Captain Picard.

    And Sean Bean plays his son, which automatically give the game +10 for me. (I'm somewhat of a Sean Bean fanboy ever since his role as Boromir in LotR)

    They blocked The Escapist site here at work, so I've had to watch them at home. I'll need to catch up.

    Damn, i just saw Heavenly rain gameplay (i have not really looked at anything sony since launch) But, holy hell. Id kill for a price drop because the console is going to have some lovely titles soon.

    E3 this year was an epic one that for sure!

    I am. It just might restore my faith in Nintendo.

    E3's been a corker this year. Really glad Nintendo didn't just parade that casual rubbish around like last year and actually bothered catering their press release to the right audience. Sony look strong but 2 hours of talk-talk-talk and figures could put you to sleep! Still their games line up is looking SWEET!! And it was so unbelievably funny when they announced FF14! XD Still, GoW looks awesome, Golden Sun DS is very welcome and I personally prefered Sony's take on motion sensors to Microsofts but then... I don't lavish as much time on my Xbox as my other consoles...

    I'm taking down Secret of Mana again... the honey smell of nostalgia!! :)

    Regarding Castlevania-
    Prediction:

    The mask will bring your wife's body back from the grave by sealing itself to the face her corpse and posessing her body. You will then fight the boss with the guidance of your wife's spirit.

    I like Yahtzee's latest view. How great is it to hate a game because you hate Pepsi.

    And the Duke Nukem: ForNever view was epic.

    I have never been a GOW far (Mainly becuase i have been neglecting Sony), But after half a dozen watches, i want it ;)/

    Castlevanic - I'll wait a little bwefore judgine. I hope it is okay (i love the old school series).

    MS Natal - So much promise. I hope it works, simply because of the "Gameplay over eye candy factor, but like most people i dont know right now. Least it beats Sonys lame version hands down.

    That whole Milo setup was a fake i believe. Not saying its not impossible at some stage.
