@Ezio Auditore da Firenze It's the first time I've seen it. We employed it here for a game that we weren't able to check out (it was at Captivate, an event we didn't attend), but we thought our readers would still really want to know about. Would you be interested in seeing it more regularly, even for games that we preview ourselves?

@MNeko That actually sounds pretty badass.

@gevenstaines There's more coverage on that here: http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/25/chris-hecker-interview/ But the tl;dr answer is "not really." He's making it mostly himself, though he'll probably hire an artist at some point.

@PR0F3TA From my experience at Chinatown Fair last night, it seems you can find hipsters/not-hipsters all over that place as it is. Williamsburg might exacerbate the problem, but it's certainly not a symptom of it.

@Mandarusuke Tie! Everyone's out of their minds!

@Marco le Polo Ooooh!

@mrmobius It should be noted that our Best of the Rest choices could very well have been in our personal top five submitted for the staff GOTY list -- as in, it's possible (and likely) that a handful of staff members had SMG2 in their personal top five lists. That said, if staff all had it ranked low on their lists, it could've just been bumped by other stuff. Anyway, hope that clears things up a bit. We don't hate the Wii, I promise!

@Tab The first one was very similar! Check it out here: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/07/silicon-knights-is-x-men-destiny-developer/

@Billlop I spent 10 days with it to be thorough. It's a review. If it was by choice, I'd have spent significantly less time, I assure you.

@Konknok What's the sigh about?
