Circumnavigate means to go around something. You navigate the race track, you don't circumnavigate it. The race track itself might circumnavigate the center of the racetrack - but that would be more typical of Forza, not DiRT.

Geez.

They've really taken the "micro" out of microtransactions.

Normally I don't find myself personally insulted by a price. But this feels a bit like when I was in Mexico and I'd inquire about the price of something and they'd say "for you senor, only 1000 pesos" In other words, "you look like a sucker who would pay 3 times what it's worth"

I got my Old Spice gamer pic, it's pretty sweet. Obviously people can tell you're wearing Old Spice in person, but now I have a way to let other XBox Live users know that I smell like a combination of sweaty horse and rope.

The part at the beginning looks like the Pike's Peak race. Not sure what the exact name of the race is, but they race real cars up the real mountain, and it looks exactly like that, from the scenery to the "OMFG you're going to die if you don't make that turn perfectly" part.

The magic of lego star wars was all the characters, all the vehicles, all the weapons, all the environments. And lightsabers, don't forget about lightsabers.

Batman has: Batman, Robin, the Batmobile and Gotham City. And no lightsabers

It'll be about as fun as a trip to Grandma's

I thought the stunt markers were a total blast. Same with the foot and car races (with the exception of Alleys of the Volk). But these orbs, man... what a pain in the ass. I really really hope they add orb-dar with the next expansion, because I am really getting sick of trying to find orbs.

The worst aspect of GOW hosting problems is what I call double-host-advantage. Basically the host starts a match and his friend who lives in the same dorm joins and they get on the same team. Since they live so close they don't have any latency, it doesn't matter who's hosting, they both have host advantage. When you join they yell "go locust" Match starts and your team gets totally owned, nobody has any fun but the host and his buddy.

I second the request for an orb detector. There is nothing more depressing than searching for your 300th hidden orb. Is it in here? Nope, it's not in there. Maybe it's over there? Nope not there either. Repeat over and over and over...

One thing I noticed is that Crackdown is totally lacking anything that connects the bosses and vehicles. Cars won't help you in any of the missions. In fact, the only thing cars are good for is driving between bosses. Which is really strange. They try to make up for it with all these races and achievements for running over gangsters, but it doesn't quite fill out, it's like two separate games, one where you race cars and jump them through rings, and another where you try to rid a city of crime by jumping, shooting, punching and throwing grenades. So I think some missions that bring vehicles into play would round the game out a lot.

I'd like to put a plastic bag over your head and question you about why you think anyone cares about non-vernacular meanings of the expression "beg the question".

Forget NYC, I'd like to see GTA IV set in Boise
