Eurogamer reviewer...

"As it stands, it's an interesting experiment which - somewhat ironically - fails to justify the cost of an expensive peripheral. But if you already own a Kinect and fancy something more substantial, then Heavy Armor is worth a look because, at least, it dared to try."

LOL Okay, if you pay for it.  Pretty low bar there fella.

Mirror's Edge is done.

Cool game in the same way that De Blob was a cool game...interesting graphical style and unique basic design, but beyond that there's not much to it. Worth checking out though.

How'd you like that construction zone level near the end? Ugh. Other than that level I really enjoyed the game (up until that server level where they force you to use guns for the first time (up until then you can get away with not using them).  Important for introducing the slide mechanic -- unless someone can come up with an earlier example...

Vanquish went from tough but fair to just plain cheap last night. We'll see if I can beat this boss this morning with a fresh perspective.

For those of you who have played, this is the boss that is called "Unknown".

I completed the game on hard and that boss wasn't that difficult.

As for Steel Battalion... I played the demo and I had no problems with the motion control, if anything... because I moved my arms in the stiffest and most robotic motions I could do. Also, it's the only game I've ever played that captures the feeling of being in a war in an enclosed vehicle with little ventilation with other soldiers that might not be ready for battle, for that alone it's a success.

Also, I wouldn't blame Kinect, because I've also heard that the game's levels are insanely difficult with or without control issues.

Hmm. From what I recall I found Unknown to be somewhat of an easy boss myself.

Watching the Gamespot review of Heavy Armour it seemed to me that the biggest problem is that this version of Kinect just isn't up to the task of being able to properly play this kind of game and that a more powerful version ie. Kinect 2.0 would be able to do a much better job. Of course the wildly varying difficulty is something that shouldn't be currently present in the game.

Is it strange that I am more angry now at the ME3 ending thing now that Bioware is releasing this new ending that does fit into your choices. I guess before it was just how it was, well now I wonder why the hell didnt I get this when I played it the first time. I dont care about the ending as much anymore.

The ending was far from the ungodly disaster everyone said it was, I've seen much worse endings get a pass (I'm looking at you F.E.A.R. 2, Limbo, Homefront, Half Life 2 and F.Three.A.R).

They should have just let it go. They were afraid of losing DLC sales though, so they were kind of jammed.

Really though, I can't see how feeding the trolls (as IGN put it) will turn out any better for them.  I am guessing that same group will be just as angry about the nrw endings.
