I wish they had game drawings over here in my neck of the woods. Congrats on your epic win!

Not sure I'll get arond to all of those games. I mostly hold out for a GOTY if it has extra content that can get into a game's second release.

No way I'm touching the Last of us with a 10 foot pole.

It's sad that I'm so far behind I've yet to touch ANY of those games. I'll need to see about that in 2014.

I just wonder if they finally put a stop to those "elevator parties".

Truth be told I never got into Kid Icarus for some reason. I tried out the game (much like metroid) in a SEARS NES kiosk back in the day but the game (much like metroid) never warmed up to me. It didn't seem bad but it just didn't grip me. If I have some extra cash I might see about this game on the VC, if only to give the game another chance.

No. No!. I must...not. try out...this game...I'm a console gamer....

Oh you just had to touch on Halo 4 didn't you *rubs hands with glee*

I believe halo 4 was trying to go for the growing "relationship' aspect between MC and Cortana that it got to that point between them where MC's orders to keep Cortana from falling into the hands of the covenant start to get personal to just simply protect Cortana given all that they've gone thru in the original trilogy. I'd like to think of things from the cheif's persective: everyone he's ever known, been close to and places he's seen are now all gone. He knows not of the rest of the Spartan II's, Avery's dead, Reach being slagged, both Keyes's gone and Halsey now a war criminal. All he has left now is Cortana. If I were the cheif I'd not want to let Cortana go. AI or no she's all he has left. It helps to show how their "relationship" has change from simply originally being a piece of software to an actual "partner" in all that they did together. AI or no, and advanced super solider or no, he can't ignore the fact of all that's happen between them. Plus it does help that Halsey (the brain based for Cortana) did have a certain affection for the Chief.

For me seeing the MC stand up to Del Rio made perfect sense. The Didact was a big enough of a threat, more than the covenant even, and Del Rio was too much of a petty beuricract (sorry can't spell right) to see that threat. Remember this was the guy who was dumb enough to think that the Infinity could handle the gravity well of the shield world, he thought the ship's AA guns could protect the first recon team on the surface only for them to get caught under Promethean fire, he didn't consider performing standard recon on a mission that caused the Chief to improvise when a pelican got shot down by cannon fire. Compared to Admiral Hood and Captain Keyes, Del Rio had no business commanding the Infinitiy. That alone is enough for the Cheif to pull rank and do what was best, something that Laskey could see when he offered the Cheif that pelican to finish his mission to protect earth. That eventually became the right call when Laskey was placed under the command of the Infinity when earth learned of all that happened on the shield world. And this was even before reading about the histories of Del Rio and Laskey (which further fleshes out the men they are and the stark differences on why they did what they did)

As for Cortana looking more realisticly naked: I just chalked that up to the constant push for Cortana to look more "realisitic" in every different version of Halo. Every version of her looked better and better over time. I just chalk up to her "not wearing clothes" to the fact that she was a speically made smart AI with no thought of clothes at first. Sure the others from the books and Serena from halo wars had clothes but I wouldn't be surprised it was an afterthought when smart AI's becaome more preveant in a sense.

I could go on more about Halo 4 but I'm not sure I should go that crazed. After all it's only a game :)

same here. Heard the same news, thus the excuse to release this title on other non windows phone devices. I'll still get it anyhow. Afterall I got Halo Wars and I'm not much of an RTS fan myself.

it got voice work too?!?!

#@####$@%^&^*^%^^*^!!!!!

Why won't that game just die and be the last of itself!

Sadly I could not be that funny enough to come up with that quote. It's from episode 4 of Hellsing Ultimate Abridged, spoken my Alucard.  don't know why but it's been fitting my year so far.

Happy 23rd by the way! forgot to say such last comment :(
