Hot Heart

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-05-06-first-assassins-creed-revelations-info Guess I can't really talk about plausibility but Ezio is over 50?! Does the 'apple' extend a person's lifespan/youthfulness? I haven't played Brotherhood so I have no idea how things were left.

That and the discs being incompatible.

I think newer hardware enables more beyond better graphics. Not sure how accurate it is, but I have seen people pointing to Crysis 2's reduction of player count and map size and less complex AI (all enemies are bipeds or something?) as a result in the console's processing power limiting what can be done. Could all be bullshit though. I'm not trying to be a console-bashing PC elitist. And I'm not dying for a new console but I can live in hope that if newer hardware were to reach the console market, we'd see some great advances in game design as well. I'm an optimist like that.

I remember last year when I got RDR during my stay somewhere without internet access. Total waste of money buying the limited edition because 1. I probably won't ever replay the game and 2. I didn't enjoy it that much in the first place. If I'm getting LA Noire I'd probably get it on 360 anyway though.

None were moved nor connected.

Oh, yeah, I vaguely remember that. I only recall one thing I really liked and that was the fight at the pop art exhibit/museum which made use of the scenery. That was pretty cool.

Hey, I was trying to sound convincing...but maybe not too convincing.

Morrison's run before RIP was pretty much just Batman & Son (with the three ghosts stuff mixed in), wasn't it? The fact that RIP didn't even resolve that storyline anyway did not help, considering I was so fed up with all the crossover bullshit Marvel were doing at the time. I actually stopped regularly reading comics around that time. The only stuff I've been buying recently has been collections and not many. Only really Invincible and Y: The Last Man; and the former has not been great as of late but Ottley's artwork is brilliant. This is an aside but if you've not read Warren Ellis' Fell then you must.

RIP, really? I guess it was OK but I could probably think of a dozen Batman collections to read before that. I felt all his stuff before it was pretty terrible too.

Cross boxes.

Rewrote an article from last year for Press X or Die. http://pressxordie.com/2011/05/05/witcher-way-to-go/

I thought BioWare had said no multiplayer but apparently you can't rule it out. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/106157-UPDATE-BioWare-Denies-Multiplayer-for-Mass-Effect-3 All Christina Norman can say is they're adding more awesome. http://twitter.com/#!/truffle/status/66008773797494784 http://twitter.com/#!/truffle/status/66010633308610560 I wonder if they'd try and add a first-person perspective for the 'shooter' market. EDIT: More screenshots from GameInformer. http://kotaku.com/#!5798810/these-mass-effect-3-screenshots-arent-saving-the-human-race - Holy crap, that Batarian Husk looks creepy. - Liara is keeping her Shadow Broker get-up I guess?

If it's any consolation, it's only...half-true?

I'm not actually that bothered. I think I've said it before but I felt late 2011 didn't seem to allow quite enough time for the 'big finish' to Mass Effect. It's probably just a dumb mental thing, but it feels better knowing development time is around two years as with most sequels.

Haha. You don't have to do it. But it would be cool to see how yours played out.

OK. I'll let you off. Could check the dates on your trophies for the game but that takes extra effort.

Are you saying you're lazy or very forgetful, Ethan?
