It's all in the books and comics this is happening recently. The games still center on the men. Laskey in the miniseries and Master Chief in Halo 4. I definitely like the female Spartans, but it does seem like they're keying in to the 'tropes vs. women' thing and trying to bring more women in the Halo experience.

Somehow I think the new interpretation of Dr. Halsey is fueled by the outrage over abduction of children to create the Spartan II's like Master Chief; to try and sanitize the story by showing moral outrage.

From the beginning it was mixed. The first team Master Chief worked with in Nylund's book Fall of Reach was three men and two women I think (need a fact check here, but I don't have the time at the moment). The dynamic worked really well.

I liked the female Spartan in the Traviss books, but after a while I noticed almost all the major players were women. Not to say there's anything wrong with that. It's just a different perspective to this Halo Universe. The other part of it though is that I don't like the way Dr. Halsey is being handled in the books and in Halo 4. She's been characterized as a cold calculating villain and I never saw here like that from the days of the first 3 Halo games.

A good list for me might be collection of: Asura's Wrath, 1942: Joint Strike, DuckTales Remastered, Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara, and Super PUZZLE Figher II Turbo HD Remix.

I'll watch Dark Souls 2 stuff for sure. I usually don't watch anything for more than 5 or 10 minutes though on the interwebs. Trailer length stuff is my personal sweet spot.

FMV games. Wow. 

Could fit in well in a Luigi's Mansion game.

I did the same.

I did what Cary did. The only game I care about at all is Dead Rising 2, and I already got that for free from Microsoft at the beginning of their biweekly freebee giveaway.

Looks like Nov. 12 is a firm release date for this. I'm going to go preorder it right now.

There really should be an XCOM movie.
