I hope this one is as good as the Back to the Future NES game. THAT GAME WAS SO GOOD.

"...and we're still fighting."

Nah, looks like you're still running to me. Cinematography is pretty impressive, but the dialog is lame and there's really no action besides some dude running.

This game will likely replace TF2 as my multiplayer game of choice. Can't wait.

Anyone know who has the best PC pre-order deal? Looks like Gamestop might be giving away the most stuff? Or does Steam offer the same thing?

Son of a bitch. My game backlog is full enough as it is. NOW THIS!? Damn you, Sid. Damn you to hell.

Tribes 2 is still around? Oh, sweet lord, I'm going to download it. Tribes 2 keeps coming up in conversation between me and my gamer friends at work. It was so glorious, and so very underrated.

I cannot wait for this game. I've logged way too many hours to count in the Battlefield series since the beginning and I've been loving the XBOX demo hard. I'm still debating whether to get the PC version or the 360 version. I generally don't like FPSs on the 360 but I've been digging the demo...I guess since I boycotted MW2 on the PC I should get BC2 for the PC. I'm sure it'll have better graphics anyway.

Man, I'm still super-psyched about this game. Can't wait for it to come out. Hope it's as great as the Max Payne series was.

That fucking game killed me as a kid on the NES. I don't think there were more than 3 levels in it.

Finally, a relatively good counter to the W+M1 pyros. Sounds like it could be fun! Sucks you're giving up the sticky launcher tho...I'd much rather give up the pipebomb launcher, but I guess that would be too powerful.

"bad precedent and it's becoming a common practice."

+1 President Taco. You get it. Unfortunately, many gamers don't. Gaming has become unfortunately political in the past several years, and the gaming community isn't exactly the best place to find people who actually give two shits about it.

Precedence is EVERYTHING. When Activision released Modern Warfare 2 for the PC at $60, $10 more than the previous launch price for pretty much the same experience, and millions of people gobbled it up, that sent Activision the message, "Hey, we can charge $10 more for something and people will still buy it!" Activision is a BUSINESS whose sole purpose is to turn a profit. What kind of precedent does that set?

When companies are now removing standard features from games and selling them later as DLC (Madden 2010 and the franchise mode, from what I hear), what does that tell these companies? "Hey, we don't have to release as much content as we used to. We can just sell content to the players later that they would normally get for the cost of admission."

How far will it go? We'll see, as long as the sheep continue to oblige these money-suckers.
