OMG I didnt see this coming. I guess WB listened to all the people who were against the replacement of Conroy in this game. I am actually excited for this game now.

I wish they would stop updating it so often. It just seems to me like they updated it. I finally get use to it and they update it.

Wow. Back during the 16 bit era who would have thought that some day Sonic and Nintendo exclusive would be in the same sentence.

I find that kinda ironic.

Well as long as they will have gift cards that I can get at my game store I am fine with that. I had my Xbox account hacked a few years ago and of course my credit card info was stored on it from a purchase I made long ago. The thieves ended up charging a bunch of stuff to my credit card so since that fiasco I dont use my CC for online purchases. So as long as they have cards like the MSP cards that would be ok. At least I wont have to figure out how many points 10 dollars gets me or how many dollars I will need for a 1200 point card.

Awesome game indeed. I just played through the game one more time before I traded in a few months ago to get Monster Hunter for the 3DS so I am good for now. Might pick up it up again on either the Xbox or Wii U when I get the itch to play it again.

I agree with Gamer83 if you haven't played this one yet and you own a PS3, Wii U or Xbox 360 you need to get it.

Oh and at least this time we will have two analog sticks without having to buy an add on.

I have to agree in that I dont like Windows 8 either. Its great for like a tablet or a smartphone basically anything with a touch screen but on a Desktop PC like I have I just found Windows 7 easier to navigate and alot cleaner.

As for the Xbox name getting back on topic Infinity doesn't sound to bad but I still like Fusion. I guess we will just have to wait 11 more days to find out.

I will say that I would love it if Journey and Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch would come to the Xbox. I watched a playthrough of Journey on Youtube and I just fell in love with that game and that was just from watching the play through. As far as Ni No Kuni goes well I am a big Studio Ghibli fan so thats a no brainer. Still if the PS3 ever gets cheap enough I may just pick one up for those two games alone.

I like the name alot. It sounds like a next gen console name. I hope that this is indeed the name rather than the rumored Xbox name.

Been looking forward to this game but I think I will wait to see some reviews before I pick it up.

Man got my hopes up when you said free archived UFC fights, I was thinking of the older UFC with Royce Gracie and Ken Shamock before it got all lame.

I hope they dont call it just Xbox, talk about confusion. I mean critics said that consumers would be confused with the Wii U name I would love to hear what they think about this one.

Nordic Games also handled the PC version of Alan Wake so that way it could be brought over to NA.

I am thinking that the reason they bought these IPS is so they could branch out and become a more established company which hey why not do it with a franchise or two that people are familiar with.

Well I have read in an article on Nordic Games site that they are very enthusiastic about continuing the Darksiders series at least to the point of doing two more games. Now I guess I am going to have to go and play the first two now.

I am really glad that someone picked it up and is looking forward to continuing the series.

Hmmm might have to check that out some time.

As a MMO player mainly WoW I am use to having to deal with an authenticator so it doesnt bother me. I just don't like the idea of having them on my phone, especially with as many phones as I go through.

I dont know how MS will handle it but I know people who had authenticators on their phones for World of Warcraft and either lost or damaged their phones and getting to prove to Blizzard that that is your account is a pain in the butt.

My biggest problem with Kinect was now much room you needed for that thing when compared to say the Wiimote. I got the Star Wars Kinect bundle last year and tried a few times to use the Kinect but unless I am in the mood to move heavy furniture all the time to play it which I am not I cant use it.

My son and I were both disappointed at it unless they make it take up less room I wont try it again.

Wow it is always sad to here when someone loses a job. My thoughts go out to the ones who did. I dont know why LA Noire was received so poorly I rather enjoyed the game.

I wonder if someone was trying to make a point on how bad always connected will be for the 720.

As for me I wasn't affected cause I was at work the whole time and when I got home everything was fine.

Hmmm I didnt have a problem at all today but than again I was at work for most of the day. When I got home around 6pm PST everything seemed to be working just fine.

Lol nice might have to look into these. The music was one of my favorite parts of GTA games even if they just used licensed songs.

Not surprising really. Both are awesome games.

Shenmue, Shenmue, Shenmue lol. I just recently finished this game on the Dreamcast I would love to see a remake of it on the 360. Another one I would like to see is Skies of Arcadia.

As for Aladdin, I never played the Genesis version always the SNES version, the Genesis version was always rented out at my local video store during that era. Might have to check that one out one of these days to see how much better it is.

Interesting although I am confused the title says it will replace your cable box but from reading the article it sounds like you still need the cable box cause you have to hook it into the 720. And another question I have is will this work for Directv since thats what I have. Of course these are just rumors so I doubt anyone knows the answeres yet.

I have to say I like the idea too. If you want BC then you have the option of buying this thing if you dont need it (for those who are keeping their Xbox 360) than you dont have to get it. I mean I like this idea alot better then the way BC was handled for the 360.

Now I have to admit the scales are starting to tip in MS favor for my other system, but then again I cant get to excited these are just rumors after all.

Hmmm might pick up that MK Arcade Kollection thats an awesome price for 3 great games.

For me there are several factors to game length. If the story is good and involving game length doesnt matter to me. Also if there are side missions to do like in Tomb Raider I dont mind either.

What gets me though is how advertisements for games now adays say oh this game is 80+ hours long but than you get it and the game itself is only 8-10 hours long, the other 70 hours is mindless optional stuff like getting packages in GTA or tagging things and achievements. To me that isnt game length that is just mindless filler junk so the devs can claim its an 80 hour game.

Where is Tomb Raider and Bio Shock Infinite??? I am surprised that neither of them made the best game list.

No Rocksteady, No Paul Dini, the more I hear about it the more of a cash in this game sounds like. I will have to see some gameplay footage first before I put any money down on this one and than I will probably just rent it first.

BC isn't that important to me since I keep my old consoles after learning that lesson when I traded in my N64 for a Gamecube years ago. Just dont have the system come out with it than take it away a few years later (I am looking at you Sony).

In all I would prefer BC cause like the article said it would give me more room under my tv but that isnt too much of a problem since I have a retro setup in my man cave where I have all my old systems set up ready to play if I get the desire.

I dont know the more and more I hear of these next gen system the less I am liking them. Sounds kinda of funny but I think Nintendo may have win this Gen here.

Um yeah calling it the just Xbox is going to cause confusion just like calling the Wii U the Wii U. People who are not gamers are going to get totally confused. I can just see it now some kid asks for an Xbox for Christmas only to unwrap the original Xbox because his parents got confused.

As for the price at least its not as bad as what people are saying about PS4 still I dont like that always connected feature. I will just have to wait and see.

Still not sure if I am going the 720 route or the PS4 route although from the price figures I have been hearing it might be awhile before I get either. I have to admit I am still enjoying my 360 and I still have a bunch of games to play on it.

This is good as the news about Ducktales keep it coming please Disney.

@hamispink: A few months ago I think.

I said what I think in the current thread on this subject and since I am just too lazy to repost it I think a link will do. http://www.purexbox.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=1364#p1364

Wow shame on you Disney laying off all those people in these hard economical times. Honestly I am starting to dislike Disney more and more. They have totally lost themselves and have just become another greedy corporate giant.

Great review Jordan. I have to agree with you the teammate AI has come a long way since the days of GoldenEye. I still cringe to this day when I am forced to take a cpu controlled teammate cause I am waiting for them to do something stupid and either wind up dead or causing myself to be killed. Lol

Completely agree with the score this one of the most beautiful games visual wise I have ever played and the story is really good to. Between this game and Tomb Raider it will be hard to choose a GOTY for me.

Not surprised at all. Bioshock Infinite is a strong candidate for GOTY for me and I am sure others feel the same.

I love the improvement of the Dpad. I have that style control that came with my Star Wars set but I could use another one with that better dpad.

Well if its as good as Telltales other games than I will be picking this one up for sure.

@Gamer83: Agree to that.

Well nothing really piques my interest but thats ok I have plenty of games to play at the moment.

I dont know I have this on the PC and hardly play it. Still it will be a nice option for fans of the series who dont have a PC to run D3 or new people to the series who dont have a PC.

Going to pick up this one for sure even though I still have my original cartridge . This will be a day one purchase for me.

If it wont let me play used games than I wont be buying it. I am sorry to sound bad like that but not everyone can afford $60 for every game heck some games I find arent even worth that price to begin with. Yeah I honestly dont see companies doing this unless they expect alot of people to be pirating games.

Nothing for me. I got Monster Hunter Ultimate and Lego City to keep me busy for awhile.

Its good to see THQ titles didnt die with THQ.

Forgot to add if you are a GameFly member in the US the Square Enix sale is also good there for the PC versions of the games.

Dang wouldn't mind picking up Sleeping Dogs but sadly i am all tapped out on game funds till next month. Oh well I guess thats a sign that I already have to many games that I need to play currently. Dont need to add to that backlog.

After playing Tomb Raider this weekend I can definitely see why this game is number one.
