Eurogamer Reviews PvZ: Garden Warfare

I really hope this gets ported to other systems at some point. I loved PvZ enough that I'd pick up a shooter based on it.

All reports indicate that it is totally serviceable.

In related news, drunk Robio is a fucking demon at Street Fighter IV. I picked it up for the first time in at least 6 months and had my ass handed to me. I put the game on hold, did a half dozen shots of tequila and then went on a rampage tonight with Balrog. Battled Shen Long on the arcade mode, and even got a few good battles going online. FUCK ALL YOU FUCKERS II WIN!!!!

Twitch Beats Pokemon  

This has been the most bizarre phenomon in the gaming world that I have seen in long time. Who gives a shit if some webcaster guy has beaten Pokemon Red? And yet, for some reason everyone has! If I were Nintendo I'd get Pokemon Red/Blue on the 3DS eShop two seconds ago.

Do you know the full story on it? It's not one dude, it's the internet collective that beat the game through a chat window command line

I've had so much to drink tonight that I'm not entirely sure what that means, but since you're saying it, I'm going to assume that's genuinally impressive. Hurray for Twitch! Hurray for Pokemon! Hurrary foor liquor!

Robio just read about it later, its insane what they did. Without diplomacy mode it would have been impossible.

I love the start of AC3. I am some english dude which I wish was the main character cause he just seems badass. The setting is amazing, the change to colonial american times alone makes this game so much more interesting than the last two AC games. Oh and there is this weird checkers like board game on the boat which is awesome. That is as far as I have gotten but me likey.

I felt the same way at first, but on the whole the setting is boring compared to Rome. I think it could have been better though...they don't really do enough interesting things with the game. Black Flag is more what AC3 should have been, in terms of design and missions. Though, either way the series is just getting stale. I enjoyed both games though.

I just read something interesting about AC: Black Flag. Apparently it sold 2 million fewer copies than AC3. AC3 must have been a pretty big knock on the series to have that kind of effect.

^ Done.
