The Last Of Us looks totally awesome. Honestly Naughty Dog are BY FAR the best developer on the PS3, its not even a contest. I don't know how they became so elite because back in the PS2 days I liked them, but didn't consider them an elite developer. But if it wasn't for Naughty Dog, I probably wouldn't even have a PS3. I didn't realise this was a zombie game either....I thought it was going to be more of a terrorist/ Die Hard type game. Very cool.

I see a lot of people saying this, but I don't buy it. There's momentum shifts constantly in football and I don't think a power outage has anything to do with it. The 49ers are a better team than the Ravens (even though they weren't yesterday) and a much younger team, so is it really surprising they could come back and make it a game?

The 49ers made a huge comeback on the Falcons to win THAT game. One of the last games of the regular season when the 49ers played the Patriots, the 49ers were crushing the Pats 31 to 3....then the Pats scored 28 straight points and almost won the game. It happens all the time.

That power outage absolutely changed the momentum of the game. They were clearly dominating and started that second half with a 108 yard kick return touchdown, they were fired up. Right after the 34 minute power you could absolutely see the momentum had shifted.

True but the exact same thing happens all the time without any weird shit going on.

That would sound pretty lame as an excuse too. So, why did u guys lose the game? "Oh man...well, the power went out". cheeky

Again, the 49ers Pats game was almost the same thing...then halfway through the 3rd quarter the Pats started dominating. came all the way back from 31 to 3 to TIE THE GAME...then the 49ers eneded up winning by a field goal. Its not uncommon.

EDIT: Scratch that...they won 41 to 34. Forgot about that last TD.

Yeah momentum can shift but it takes some kind of event or play to make it happen. The difference between before and after the power outage was like night and day therefor the power outage was the momentum changer imo. If I was on the Ravens and if they had lost I would be absolutely livid about the power outage. I wouldn't consider it a lame excuse at all. Anything that interrupts the flow of the game when you are "in the zone" is highly detrimental especially when it's like 35 minutes long.

I'm not the least bit surprised that XBLA doubled its revenue last year, the year Minecraft was released.

I'm not surprised either. I really just think it's the sign that digital distribution is about to go big. As I think about it, last year I'd say a third of my purchases were done through the Nintendo eShop or PSN last year. If you include the Steam games I bought at the start of 2012 it probably nudges things a little higher.

That would be one way for the big three to combat Gamestop's used game sales.

It'll be good for smaller games, but I still don't see it becoming the norm anytime soon for the large scale big budget titles. Games that are 22 GB in size aren't going to get a sizeable online distribution anytime soon, unless they can figure out a way to let people download parts of it at a time long prior to the game's physical release.

Assassin's Creed 3 is done and in usual fashion, it ends on a crazy note.  I'd say its almost as good as two, but the gameplay is essentially unchanged.   I really liked the story, but at this point,  I'm just burned out on this series.  Has any other series released five console releases in one gen.

Btw, that final chase was bullshit!

Did GG go on his spy mission without finishing this?
