I for one am glad to see this product coming to market. There has been a terrible shortage of YouTube videos involving kinect related injuries, and I suspect it has to do with microsoft deliberately adjusting the lens on the device so that players have to keep a safe distance between themselves and the TV.

Why can't somebody just make a game where I actually get to play a David vs Goliath vs Darth Vader battle. I'd buy that game.

There's nothing wrong with the title at all. These are the original Space Marines. Warhammer 40k has been around since 1987, and nearly every sci-fi shooter and RTS in existence has ripped it off in one way or another.

Apparently Billy hasn't realized that nobody cares about arcades anymore. It must really suck to live your whole life stuck in the 80s.

I want to be excited about this game, but every time I see another video for it I lose a little more interest. It just looks so...lame. The animations are like something from 2002. Yes, everything is voice acted, but it's sounds so mediocre. The combat appears to work just like combat in every other MMO.

Bottom line, Bioware is failing to show me why I should care about their game when there are already tons of MMOs to choose from. The Star Wars license isn't enough.

Diablo 3 is a WoW clone like a forumula 1 car is a Ford Taurus clone. Yes, they're in the same genre, and they have some similarities at the core, but acting like they're the same thing is absurd. I really get sick of hearing "Sounds like a WoW clone" every freakin time another RPG comes out.

no no no. Quail Man walks into a bar and then tells a story all about how his life got flipped turned upside down. And he'd like to take a minute, just sit right there. He'll tell you how he's NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP. NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOOOWWN.

The shiny graphics mean it will be an awesome game, right? Amirite?

Also, I expect to see Nintendo and Sony stop developing games for these platforms since piracy is such a barrier to profitable business.

These "studies" are always total garbage. They don't even account for basic economic principles of cost vs demand. Anybody who's taken a high school economics class knows that when something costs $0 the demand is exponentially higher than when it costs $50. To make any remotely accurate claims about actual sales lost to piracy, you have to survey a population of thousands and gather actual data about the number of games they buy vs the number of games they pirate in a given time frame. To my knowledge, that's never been done. Studies like this are what you call "junk science."

Joystiq should really stop reporting this crap. It just gives idiot CEOs and developers another scapegoat to blame for the failure of their terrible games and ridiculous business models.
