Hot Heart

They suffered in both. Optimised for neither.

Different strokes, I guess. Reach just had some really terrible maps (due to pulling double duty as campaign ones), and the equipment made it too chaotic for my liking. Loved it in co-op though.

Oh, to clarify my earlier comment. I meant that playing the campaign solo never really interested me, but I absolutely love it in co-op. Many happy memories of working through Halo 1 and 2 on legendary, sat right next to my friend. I actually fell in love with Halo 3's multiplayer rather quickly, considering I was never really into online shooters before. Reach changed everything and ruined it. At least it looks like 4 ditched the armour-lock, though that was far from the only problem.

After reading some reviews, I'm actually kinda interested in this now. I never really loved the games in singleplayer but sort of stuck with ODST and Reach because I had no choice (not that they were bad). This sounds a little more engaging, even for singleplayer. Shame they dropped Firefight altogether. Hopefully, Spartan Ops gets turned into something better than the reviews make it sound.

Yeah, I've seen the full thing now. http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/romney-gets-heated-about-his-c.html

Reminded of this after just discovering my 26-year-old sister thought 'moustache' was pronounced 'moostosh' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tve9M4EwN04

And not a green pig in sight.

Interesting idea. And, for the first time in a long while, I think I'll just wait to pick up these games rather than pre-order them...what's happening to me?! - Assassin's Creed 3 (have to wait for the PC version anyway) - Need For Speed: Most Wanted - LEGO Lord of the Rings - Halo 4 (at some point, I guess) - Earth Defense Force...4?

That would be my guess, yeah.

Best pumpkin.

Can't say I've paid attention to the game at all (nor do I care either way), I just figured it would be like calling in an airstrike (like with the tanks and such), therefore, they can include jets. If it does, then good for them. I'm just used to adverts lying about stuff.

That's not Jack Black, is it? Can't be. I take it that the game doesn't feature (pilotable) jets or horses. Disappointed!

The pattern has repeated itself more times than you can fathom. The PC master races rise, evolve, advance, and at the apex of their glory, they are extinguished.

Oh, really? I always figured raisins were darker because of the different grape. Interesting. I hate sultanas but don't actually mind raisins.

OK, this is an odd one, but a cursory search suggested there was a difference. In the UK we have sultanas and raisins, where sultanas are from white grapes and raisins are from black grapes, while it seems the US calls them all raisins. Is that correct?

What an hilarious misunderstanding!

Goshdarnit! Just when I'd forgotten that ever existed...

Nice to see one of the Dishonored devs continue retweeting inane crap but not the thoughtful article by Mr. Drake!

I would say it's fair. Totilo says 'this week', and the article is from Monday.

Yes. Yeeees. Great film.

I like when they're for odd things, or have amusing names, pictures or references. That's all.
