Nice. Glad to see Gothic is still going.

Combat was a bit sticky in the past, but it made you focus your abilities and skills.

Here's hoping though that Spellbound keeps a bit of that aspect in Arcania. Aside from that, I can't wait for this game to come out.

At least the XBLA has this game in HD. My PC can't handle it.

Still, I'm glad Croteam is making this game, as well as SS2 and SS3 in HD. Thank you, Croteam.

From what I've seen in the demo so far, EA Black Box is still on the same general path, so that's good. However, I'm noticing a few problems with this game that they should address before the final release.

For one, the camera's low position seems a little off. I always play on the hardest difficulty in the demo, and landing grinds is harder with that camera angle. Still, the multiple difficulty settings are nice. The Trick Display is a great addition, but the Manual Meter is practically useless.

Second, EA, stop making the Hall of Meat challenges so stupid. Doing a Judo off a building into a bike rack? Are you serious? Look, just go back to what you did in Skate 2, where your bails and broken bones are recorded and scored as an individual challenge. THAT was more fun.

Those two issues aside, Skate 3 looks good.

First.

I'm glad that Ubisoft finally gave us a platformer rather than another poor party game. But still, Ubisoft, stop teasing us and give us Rayman 4 instead of these demented rabbits. That's what the Wii needs right now.

Actually, in my opinion, the designers should start working on another enemy for Rayman.

Since the Rabbids were the original enemy Rayman was facing, and because we now know that the Rabbids have next to no gray matter under the ears, it would feel more like you're playing as a bully or street cleaner rather than a hero.

Again, Ubisoft, please start working on the next Rayman.

I loved this article.

Braid, Halo, WOW, Final Fantasy, Super Mario World, and GTA IV are among the games I can't stand, although GTA IV did grow on me a tad when I TRIED to move past the realism aspect.

Plus, I agree with Tyler that WOW is barely more than a level grinder, as is Everquest II and other MMOs that I have tried. (In my opinion, Guild Wars escapes this classification since you can freely respec your skills and hire henchmen to help you.)

I need to get Dark Sector again.

Hopefully, Midway is making good progress on Mortal Kombat 9. I'd love to see what kind of Fatalities appear, if Ed Boon's 'sick' comment says anything.

Don't forget the Rock Band Gang from the Today Show on NBC. Not that I'm knocking them for being bad, it's the enthusiastic looks they had playing Living on a Prayer. Surely, Rock Band has other songs they know.

The aspect of religion should be interesting, but Deus Ex: Invisible War and Fallout 1 and 3 had the best fake religions, in my opinion.

Still, dead bodies lying in a church? *shudders*

Another stellar Week of Hate.

Keep it up, GamesRadar.

Nino's death = Ouch.
Eli = *shudders*

I loved the mean-faced, ruler-carrying teacher in Nino's savior shot. She made me chuckle for a bit.

Uh, was this supposed to be funny?

Sounds more like the sex crap I heard back in high school.

Yow. I must be closer to the fringe of gaming society than I thought.

I have encountered all but No. 2 on this list.

Retail Employee? Are you kidding me?

I work at Gamestop and nine times out of ten the customers are quite nice. Jerks do come in, but they don't stick around long and they even provide a good laugh from time to time.

The last jerk I dealt with was at the Lich King midnight release.

Um, I'll pass. (The movie didn't thrill me, anyway.)

I'd rather have BLACK 2, Alpha Protocol, or another Bad Company/Fallout 3-esque shooter, with loads of small/heavy weaponry than this.

3, 9, 11, 12, 16, 21 and 22 are pointless.

I don't mind the rest, but these seven seem like canned responses to me.

Here's two to replace some of the ones above, which I offer free of charge:

19. Use the biggest gun you have, especially if you're not finding a lot of bullets, shells, ect. - Why kill a werewolf pack or a band of Raiders with a .357 Magnum and 120 rounds when you can use your SAW and a single 200 round clip to shred them to bits? C'mon, let's face it, developers don't drop as much ammo for these kinds of guns as they should, and you often lose them before you can use them.

20. Wires and rechargables, not batteries, make up the man. - I don't know about you, but I get sick of batteries. They drain too fast and electronics eat them up like candy. Give the throwaways the finger and get wired or get rechargables. Your money should be going into accessories and games, not fancy cyliders and gas.

That's my say.

Even though the Guitar Hero songs are custom creations, I like playing them more than any of the free songs on Rock Band 2.

Bring in The Alkaline Trio.

I would say you are cold-hearted, and definetly sociopathic, if this game was a psychological exam.

I have yet to try the evils of Fallout 3, but it doesn't appeal to me, anyway.

I don't know what that music was, but I laughed my butt off watching this.

I'm trying to sell my Wii and I'm sure someone will want it. After all, we still have shortages.

I'm really glad this game turned out so well. The tracklist had more music I can have fun singing to, and Neversoft has already given us 360 owners 20+ FREE songs out of the gate.

Granted, most are custom creations, but Electro Rock and Ted Nugent's Guitar Duel are awesome.

The third and tenth reasons are funny as hell.

Flying kids around for cash? Oh, yeah. Just don't die laughing.
