@Grawlog thanks for the kind words. You don't have to worry about slanted news here, that's for sure. I know Ken and myself are very against that, and everyone on the site wants to respect readers not demean them.
@joey302 huh? Nintendo's backwards compatibility is way better. Every single Wii game is playable on Wii U, every DS game on 3DS. Just be happy about this feature instead of trying to make this some contest.
@Gamer83 I had never checked out the series until I got assigned 5 for review. Despite not looking forward to reviewing another lengthy game (I had just finished up a review of Xenoblade Chronicles X), I ended up loving it. Just played through Yakuza 3 recently and imported Ishin
@Souldin thanks for reading, and leaving your thoughts. I really need to check out Ori soon. I should've bought it when it was on sale, maybe I'll wait for the Definitive Edition at this point.
@JaxonH this video shows off where the survival mode is (hopefully the timestamp works, if not it's like 46 minutes in): https://youtu.be/Ap3xWmp5Sak?t=2789
THPS3 is the best, but shoutouts to @DRL with the THUG2 choice. I don't think it is the best but that game did some neat stuff. It was also super glitchy. Used to go on glitch hunts online, you could find secret areas in just about every level by glitching through walls and such.
@KelticDevil Yeah, how dare someone make a game that requires human interaction! Snore!!!
And oh no! You have options as to what games you can play! So terrible!
Kind of impressive that you have been "gaming since the 80s" yet are still this ignorant about gaming.
@Red620Ti online would have been nice, but it would certainly lose something in the process. Especially if you were playing with random people, you need so much communication in order to succeed. Almost too much, felt like the game really limits its appeal due to the difficulty. It isn't a game you can for sure play through with your SO, for example.
@Anthinator still getting errors trying to join in on games, but I was able to create a match with no issues. So I got to play my first online match. So, it isn't totally busted anymore.
@sinalefa Sorry about that. Guess that is one of the many things I take for granted. Definitely something I'll have to keep in mind when reviewing games in the future. Thanks for your feedback.

@Red620Ti we already have enough sneer quotes, Paul.
Re: Dead Island: Definitive Collection Detailed for Xbox One
@KelticDevil well, I would hope they want some money. This is a business after all.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Eighty Eight
@TurtleWhacks DmC: Definitive Edition is the best action game ever made as far as I'm concerned. Love it so much.
@Gamer83 oh, man. Yakuza 5 is so good. That game goes places!
@ROBALEX hope you get your platinum on Dancing All Night. Great game ;D

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Tony Hawk Game?
@Utena-mobile that would be Evolution Skateboarding by Konami.

Like you could go outside of the airport.

Re: Review: Blues and Bullets - Episode 1 (Xbox One)
@Anthinator the voice acting for the very first cop in the diner is so awful.
Re: Rumour: New Xbox One Dashboard May Begin Rolling Out to Preview Program Users This Week
Thank God. Current UI is awful.

Re: Review: The Deer God (Xbox One)
Surprised you didn't like this, @megakillscreen. I really had a lot of fun with it.
Nice to read a different take, though.
Kind of disappointing to see so many commenters completely dismiss it, but hey.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Sixty Nine
@KelticDevil The two Viva Pinata games and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is Rare's best 3 game stretch.
Probably their best three games they ever developed, all in a row.

Re: Games With Gold for August Brings Ground Zeroes and Three More
Really smart for Konami to make Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes free on PS+ and GWG.
Re: Review: Spectra (Xbox One)
nice review @superkmx
played this on PC and had same issues w/ repetitiveness, shame since it seems like a cool concept (and I really liked the soundtrack).

Re: Review: Payday 2: Crimewave Edition (Xbox One)
@A_BabyRed_Yoshi no clue, only reviewed Xbox One version.
Re: Review: Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition (Xbox One)
@KelticDevil DmC is the best game in the series.
I wouldn't go as far as calling this mediocre. The layout might be, but the combat is so good. Especially when you play as Dante.
Re: Review: Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition (Xbox One)
@Gamer83 thanks. I like Ninja Theory's quite a bit more, but both are really solid games.
Re: Poll: Your E3 2015 Xbox One Digital Game of The Show

@stylon it didn't launch on PS+. It came out in August and was free the following January.
