This is THE game I am looking forward to most this year. Sure, I am loving Batman: AC and Deus Ex so far has been my personal favorite game this year. But AC's story and gameplay have a hold on my heart and that no other game has done since Half-Life 2.

Best picture I've seen all day!

They're not only doing this for Batman, but ANY game you preorder for $10. So while your busy playing the game you preordered and picked up, you can rent movies for free. How is this a bad deal?

YES! You can have a graphic design party by playing this game then watching the Helvetica documentary! Also, bring the Four Loko!

This is great to know. I'm guessing AC3 will conclude this (extended) trilogy. They've made fantastic games so far and I can't wait to see what they come up with next - new characters and settings (feudal Japan? Victorian England? There are so many possibilities!).

They marketed the hell out of this game the past three months and it's looking like that worked out for them really, really well! Even with some of the mediocre reviews out there (Homefront, anyone?), it still managed to sell gangbusters.

With all the franchise/sequels coming out this fall, it's nice to see a new IP get some glory.

What spoilers are you talking about??

I didn't see anything that gave away ANY clues or reveals of major plot points...

FINALLY! The summer drought is over in a week and I think I'm going to be hibernating from here until January!

I never understood all the initial hate towards this game. Who cares that Tommy isn't the main character - it's not like he had some amazing, well-thought out character arc. And the gameplay elements from the original, while cool at the time - probably would have seem dated and the reviews would come rolling in how Human Head just copied and pasted from the original. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

But this new game looks very promising, it's on my most anticipated for next year, mos def.

Agreed! I can only spend so much money and Batman: AC, Uncharted: DD, AC: Revelations, Deus Ex: HR, ES: Skyrim, Rage, Battlefield 3 and Dead Island are all vying for my attention and wallet.

Seriously, there is a lot of quality, AAA titles coming out starting with Deus Ex and I cannot wait!
