That was easily the worst presser I have ever watched. I have watched many, and been a happy xbro since 2006.

I have so little faith in Microsoft now.

Definitely skate. Just skating around with zero pressure, no objectives to do. Set a spawn point and then try to do some ridiclous trick at a specific location 100 times. Feels good.

If it wasn't so expensive, I would get a subscription to Edge. Their reviews are terrific, existing outside of industry biases and express honest opinions.

Bobby says, "haters gonna hate"

As long as you game responsibly, you are never too old. If you find yourself on a constant basis thinking of the the things that you currently should be doing instead of playing video games, then you should re-assess your priorities. People perceieve adult gamers to be lazy, irresponsible, and/or immature because there is a large percentage of adult gamers who actually are these things, a larger percentage than the average adult at least.

1. Fallout New Vegas (pumped for hardcore mode!)

2. Halo Reach

3. ...Ghost Recon? Not exactly sure. Maybe Alan Wake.

I don't mean to unfairly or unjustly attack video games, as I think that there are a lot of games that have beautiful and imaginative graphics, compelling and deep stories, etc.

However, art to me seems to be something that can be enjoyed passively; something that can be presented to people by someone who poured their heart and soul into one uncompromised product that is a representation of the self. I suppose that as the medium evolves, player interaction will begin change the definition of art, but as of now, I don't see it.

In addition, by my own definition I see maybe 1-2% of movies as being "art", so Ebert doesn't have much to stand on there.

It's a luxury ... but it's also a smart business move.

Right. What does Crytek think they are gaining by holding out pre-release?

Also, they really should talk less.

Sorry guys, games aren't art. Games can have a good story, great even, but that doesn't make them art. Games are about objectives and challenges.

Also, why would gamers want video games to be art? So we can boast to no one that our favorite hobby is civilized and intelligent? Just enjoy games, sillies.
