Too bad. I was really hoping this would be a nice hybrid for Star Wars fans and the kiddies, but it seems to gear heavily to the latter. It's cool, if my nieces are interested to play it I'd be pumped to have them get into Star Wars a little, but with the hype (special console) I was hoping for a better game.

I think my hopes for Kinect will be better realized in version 2.0 that comes with the next Xbox. At least it helps me power through shows on Netflix with voice commands.

Seems pretty good for a license title. I like the idea of the marines huddled together through hallways and one person has their radar out and tries to point out the threats to the rest of the team.

But I'm more interested in single player and co-op missions.

Between this and Ridge Racer Unbounded we've seen some usual releases recently, "Oh, we shipped those already... start selling it then I guess?"

The girl/guy ratio at that event was amazing.

I take back anything negative I said about Zumba.

That sounds like so much fun. I love the idea of being able to plan an attack and set off a series of events that ultimately culminates with the desired outcome.

I like how it's not named War of Cyberton 2 or something like that. I think it's pretty cool to have a sequel that is easily associated to the first but has it's own spin. Similar to Arkham Asylum and Arkham City.

It's an interesting solution to have bullet time only impact players that are within your view. I wonder how easy it would be for a 3rd party to walk into a room and nail both players as they are jumping towards one another in slow motion.

More interested in the single player and hopefully they have co-op missions like in GTA4.

Games are as big as ever, they aren't going anywhere. Every few years the idea of convergence comes around and we try to box as many technological advances into an accessible and easily distributable package.

Microsoft did a great job at lowering barriers to make their console the media hub they've been talking about for years. Didn't think they'd get there, but they have.

Better to win at something than to win at nothing?

I really hate Gamestop for contributing (creating?) this pre-order nonsense. Developers get to create side content that needs to be ready by release day instead of, you know, finishing the game correctly.

To get all the content of a game often you have to spend 80-100 bucks these days.

Interesting. So the divergent rumors could all be true. No disk drive etc. I like these $100 tech gizmos as more casual people can get involved with games and they make pretty nice gifts for holidays/birthdays.

But can't wait to hear more about the real successor...
