Awesome week for PS+ members. Free LBP2 costume, too? icing on the cake...

Great Scott!

@vidguy

There are two that I found - little green potions in chests.

I made it 36 minutes, got the swimming ability and got to the temple. But those little shooting guys kept killing me...

I'm not talking about LAN - I'm talking about 4 player split screen on a single TV/console/game. This has been one thing that CoD has ALWAYS gotten right, and that's why I continue to play Black Ops or even Modern Warfare 1 or 2 - because of their local multiplayer games that my friends love to play. Shallow as they may be, they're great party games. I'd have preferred to have the robustness of Battlefield 3 for my party shooter, but I guess I'll have to settle with more Black Ops... really dumb decision on DICE's part.

@xiLeShadow

Apparently no split screen local competitive multiplayer, either.

Look, I typically am a CoD basher, but one thing it does right is including a fleshed out local split screen multiplayer option. If Battlefield doesn't offer that, it's shooting itself in the foot.

@Burnflare Except it does take away from the complete experience. These "sewers" are levels or missions or whatever that have been developed with the intention of being included in the complete retail game, regardless of their purported "insignificance" (which you know is just damage control).

Joystiq failed to report that Willits is also a big fan of always-online DRM, stating it's the way of the future and will be most beneficial to everyone. Good one.

I actually can see why - some people don't want to use their credit card information, hence the existence of PSN cards - Gamestop probably has a finite number of Annhilation codes to distribute, and while you could just buy a 20 buck PSN card and redeem it, the DLC by itself is five bucks cheaper.

So basically, this is for people without credit cards who want to save five bucks and have a guaranteed code on launch day. Still kind of silly.

I will never buy a third party controller that doesn't have sixaxis and rumble support. I've yet to find one that has both, and thus makes it usable for ALL of my games.

This literally JUST almost happened to me. PS3 warned me to turn it off immediately. Thought it might've just been because the cabinet my PS3 is in was closed, but I guess this had something to do with it... Hmm.

Still, LA Noire's effing awesome.

Damnit. The rare week where all of the entries are great. All of the Portal jokes were excellent (especially Tetris), but that Extra Life drawing with a gun to Sackboy is priceless...
