http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/sc-...gameplay/319592 If a character just "gets over" the death of a loved one, and it doesn't actually impact the story and the character, then there's really no point in including that death.

I'm guessing the Syriana stuff was from the original storyline by Mitsoda and Carlson. The game might be more colourful now, but I'm not expecting anything so crazy as the NOLF games.

Geez, that's what they've been doing for four games already. You have an irrational dislike for characters displaying anger, but it's hardly an overused stereotype, especially in this franchise. Pointing to games like God of War and Max Payne and claiming the protagonists kill loads of people just because they are angry is a ridiculous simplification of the story lines and characters in such games. In what way is the conflict in Max Payne, for example, "manufactured"? That is, any more than any other game that features the player killing countless enemies?

The Conviction we saw a couple years ago is not the same game we saw at E3 this year.

There is a difference between believing the world would be better off if certain people were dead, and supporting the death penalty. This and similar stories might be evidence of the former, but they do nothing to change the problems already mentioned with the use of the death penalty.

What are these games that feature a protagonist that kills a million people just because he's angry?

Anger is a perfectly normal emotion, emo is a persona you create for yourself. You really think "angry man wants to find his daughters killer" is just as bad as "kid dyes his hair black and complains no one understand him"? It's ridiculous to refer to any angry person as "emo". As far as motivations go, it's a change from the save the world stuff previously seen in the series. If Fisher goes through every mission yelling "Who killed my daughter!" at people, then yes that would get tiresome, but then it's kinda silly to assume that's how it would play out. Ignoring the nonsense about puppies, the information released so far does suggest some kind of conspiracy behind the daughters death.

How does it feel to be WRONG, alanschu? Must really suck to find a game so enjoyab... er...

Angry doesn't equal emo. A murdered daughter is a legitimate gripe.

So you do not have to tie your game to the EA Store? That's right. Which, as that message points out, is just a disc check.

It takes a special kind of abject ignorance to confuse ADHD with laziness these days, given the wealth of neurological research on the topic. Filthy lies, you're a witch!

Looks awesome. This, along with AP are my most highly anticipated. Double awesome. I like the fade to black & white when hiding in shadows rather than a stealth meter. I don't think the point of the chain shot is to make it easier for casual players, rather to allow you to perform a number of actions faster than you normally could. Reminds me of a similar ability in Desperados.

^ Probably too early for that.

Another problem is if you don't have a credit card and can't buy stuff online. EA obviously didn't think this through.

A Monkey Island without puffy sleeves is a Monkey Island in name only. More remake pics here: http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=63053

^ You should write him a letter and tell him he's doing it wrong. I'm sure he'll appreciate it, unless he's too busy swimming around in his enormous piles of cash.

Apparently the remake allows you to switch between old and new graphics at will, which is nice.

I actually think that sounds great.

Nope, 360 & PC. http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/e3-splinte...-and-commentary

I loved the original two, but after that, when the series went for a cartoonish look and featured voiceovers with modern American accents, it was kinda like seeing the movie version of a book, and the characters looked and sounded nothing like you imagined them. I'll probably end up getting the remake on Xbox Live.

You can purchase additional items (furniture, clothing, hairstyle etc) from the online store, which requires you register your game, but otherwise the only DRM is apparently a DVD check.

You put Anniversary below The Angel of Darkness, the game typically seen as the lowest point in the series? You crazy bastard. That's like when people rank Alien 3 or 4 above the first two.

Out of all the colours of the rainbow, green is the bestest and red is the crappiest. Everyone who thinks otherwise is lying or they've been bribed. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Sure, I think society needs a good reason for coming to that decision, you, seemingly, do not. So, what you're saying is that society should not have the right deny rights without establishing that having the right would cause harm? Basically, yeah. I think if the law allows the majority to deny rights to the minority without reason then the law is wrong.
