No idea why - but Firefox works, so there you go.<br /><br />I agree, Halo 4 looks the goods from what we've seen so far. It will be very interesting to see if it lives up to expectations.<br /><br />The GoW game, I am pretty much on the same page as you. I did really enjoy GoW 3 so I will probably be giving this a whirl as well. <br /><br />In regards to consoles, I too have both an XBOX and PS3 and I much prefer the XBOX over the PS3. I generally only play PS3 exclusive titles on that machine and everything else on the XBOX. I like the XBOX controller a lot more and I also suspect it has something to do with those achievements and wanting to increase my score... lol.

And even if this game turns out to be just another generic action title, I'll just have one more reason to ditch console gaming completely next gen. Steam, GOG and Indie bundles are more than enough for me. And DOTA 2 now has hats and stuff, collecting those could probably keep me occupied for years!Severiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-17111980438159873312012-06-07T13:56:04.083+01:002012-06-07T13:56:04.083+01:00@Marduk - Hello stranger! :)
Yeah, here's to ...@Marduk - Hello stranger! :)<br /><br />Yeah, here's to Halo 4, eh? What a fantastic surprise, and everything I've seen since the big reveal only underscores that impression. It's been so long, but I can't hardly wait to get my multiplayer on.<br /><br />I'm not so sure about the Gears of War prequel, however. I suppose Microsoft didn't show much: maybe it'll surprise us both. I gather it's a People Can Fly game, and Bulletstorm was great fun, so there's good reason to be optimistic. I'm just not sure I need it.<br /><br />Then again, I would wager the only reason it exists to begin with is to give Epic Games proper time to develop a new Gears of War for launch with the next-gen Xbox. So... sure.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08713791516631476930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-22802788264500141062012-06-07T13:47:08.148+01:002012-06-07T13:47:08.148+01:00@Severian - Right you are.

That is, it seemed like it could be... until the player character pulled out a pistol and suddenly Watch Dogs turned into a shooter, much the same as any other.<br /><br />Still, very, very cool, but how I wish that gunplay didn't have to be the impetus behind EVERY GAME EVER.<br /><br />Also, I'm with Gabe. Windows 8 does look dire.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08713791516631476930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498739347909985243.post-82347202654543388372012-06-07T05:16:24.346+01:002012-06-07T05:16:24.346+01:00Halo 4!
