@gofish1985 "Project 10 dollar" do people even realize the only way they need to "buy" an only pass is if they buy a game used. And guess what the only reason game companies had to do this is because *gasp* gamestop was cutting in to the game company profits with their used games. Go buy something new and surprise you get the online pass with the game.
So lets see. Buy a game used for 25. Game creator lost that sale because you buy it used. I don't like it any more than most but I can't blame any game company for wanting to make money on the used game market. Then again I also refuse to buy used games or trade in mine because of this stupid practice.
As for the actual point of this article. BoA is the worst of the worst. The only thing they did good recently was canceling their planned $5 charge, and only reason they did that was because of the gigantic account losses. But the damage is done and they rank at the top of the list for me.
They must already be discussing the Forests of Furbolg and the Wings of Gryphony. More power to people that can stand this next bs expansion. But for me blizzard has completely alienated me with the pandas.
The thing that makes me sad the most is I used to defend them at every turn with my friends. They could have added so many other things in a expansion but they aren't doing. One of which so many have been wanting and that's player housing.
@Xei Yea don't get me wrong I'm not knocking the effort, just kinda the price point. I never really enjoyed vanilla minecraft, add some mods in and I lost countless hours. I know other games on pc benefit from mods. Just to me I feel minecraft has such a huge mod community that without it something feels off. To those that do get it I hope you have fun, because that's all that matters. :)
@Dizazter It'll be noticed for multiple reasons, main one is it's going to be plastered with ads on the dashboard and it's a official xbla release not one of those that gets buried in the indy section.
As much as I want to be excited for minecraft on 360... I just can't. 1600 points for a version that can't be modded is just not good. I play it on pc and being stuck with the default skins and no mods would be extremely boring for me. I'll play the demo and give it a go but no way they get full price from me.
@Ramen of Doom Agreed, pc controls are garbage. That said I truely haven't played long and what I have played I'm not really enjoying. Haven't read it but I'm more on the 60/100 reviewer from edge probably.
@mywhitenoise And to be more fair. Just because someone is on the cover doesn't mean you play as them. A big bulk of the story is actually about finding her. I mean it's part of the driving force behind what you are doing.

Blizzard already talking about post-Pandaria WoW expansions
