Interestingly enough, I have yet to play Borderlands. I am aiming to rectify that situation though. I'm looking for a cheap GOTY copy that has all the DLCs. This is in preparation for Borderlands 2. I actually hope Gearbox can pull this off, no? While the gameplay clips floating around aren't exactly mind-blowing, it's not exactly bad either. It seems A:CM might be one of those games where you need to play it rather than just watch one amazing trailer after another to 'get" it. My main concern now is MP. How will they sustain players' attention?

I checked the multiplatform threads and I was surprised that I didn't see a thread for Colonial Marines (if there's one, please point me to it). Does this mean no one here is excited for it? I just re-watched Alien and Aliens and I must say, sci-fi games or similar games borrow a ton of ideas from the Alien movies. Yes, I know this is common knowledge but it's surprising how much it's so. I mean, the original movies were released in what? 1979 and 1986 if I remember correctly. Anyhoo, who's excited for the game? I was very skeptical of it, I admit but things are looking rosier than eve -- and the the fact that most, if not all, the hands-on I've read so far have been very favorable adds fuel even more. To be honest, I don't mind it being a corridor shooter; as long as it's done well. Imagine Dead Space but with Aliens and as a FPS? How can that NOT be good, no? For multiplayer. my only concern is how can they make the Aliens side compelling? I'd imagine there would be like 3-6 different alien breeds but can that sustain the game in the long run? I'm personally excited to play the game's campaign and going co-op through the whole gamut! What are your thoughts, TAYers?

So, Battlefield 3 beta date? Here's what a "source" told me... http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/87853/inside-source-battlefield-3s-beta-start-date/ Yep, not confirmed, but I do think that is the date...Can't go into anything deeper than that unfortunately.

Hey! Just thought you guys might want to read this. http://n4g.com/news/812694/top-10-things-people-hate-about-call-of-dutys-multiplayer/com My top 10 things people hate about Call of Duty's MP. Amazingly, a lot of people seem to agree. Also, it bears mentioning that I am not trolling CoD. I will be doing a similar piece regarding Battlefield.

Ah, er. Thanks for your opinion. People do like it and watch it. But I'll take what you said into consideration.

This. ALso, laser sight wasn't mentioned. I completely overlooked that. I managed to finish it at 5am, thought it was going to stew for a bit before it got filmed and all. When I woke up, the live stream already took place and I missed. Yeah, I'll try to be more mindful of the weapons and such.

Most of the topics coveted in in that trailer was already discussed in the Operation Metro trailer EA released. From weapons, sights, etc. I'm not that adept at weapon names, which I'm honest about. The regular guy who does it has a few issues at the moment, as far as wanking, it's made for BF fans. We've done the same with CoD. Although they're not really forthcoming with trailers yet.

Here's our next analysis video. Tell me what you guys think. Oh, and we're deliberately not posting the alpha-trial leaked stuff. People are asking us to dissect it, but sadly, we can't.

Not sure if anybody would be interested but here it is, a short analysis of the leaked Battlelog pics. Awesome narration voice, no? And yeah, I wrote it! Haha! Shameless plug!

BF3 on consoles! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLCFQyqEoHA What do you think? And yes, it does look inferior compared to the PC version, but that's stating the obvious. I personally think it looked similar aside from textures, detail, etc.

Hell yea! I loved Darksiders 1. Sure, it might have been a tad too long, but it felt like Zelda with more "comic" characters. I actually liked War as a protagonist. Hope Death can be a good sub.

Will do =)

I'm going to be doing a piece on E3 rumors before the big show. These are mostly things I've heard or people have told me. I might do it as a blind item sort of piece so no one gets into any trouble. Is it alright if I put this in this thread? Or should I make a new one? Also, anyone want to contribute something? Anonymity will be a priority of course. Unless you don't want it!
