I'm sure they paid quite a bit for it, and I'm sure what they'll get in return is more hate towards them

It's not like someone is going to buy an 360 for a 30 day time exclusive map pack.

Defnitely a good point.  Also, it said there that theres only 2 maps in the pack.  What the hell kind of map pack is that?!  Lame, is what it is.  I will not pay $10 for 2 maps.  Man, I won't even pay that for 4.  I did for CoD4, and one of the maps wasn't even cycled online!  Its a rip, when they have the whole game engine built, all the character animations, textures, guns, upgrades, etc already there, making new maps is not expensive.  I crave the day when we actually get 10 decent maps in a pack for $10.

An arc refers generally to one of two things: a curved shape or line, or in electricity a luminous bridge formed in a gap between two electrodes… which both seem appropriate here.  With the first, its the shape you would form while swinging the controller around.  With the second, you can take several meaning out of it, but to me, its luminous (the light ball part), and it bridges the gap between player and game world, by giving us more control and immersing the player in the game.  Or I mean, maybe there's an electrical arc internally (I sorta doubt that, sounds like a fire hazard waiting to happen).  Seems much better than “gem”.

so – sorry I haven't played yet, I've been distracted by other things.  I was working through the GoW collection, and then Mad Moxxi came out for Borderlands.  Then I got YLOD, and lost all my save data.  So now its level grinding in Borderlands so I can try out Mad Moxxi with a decent character eventually,,, but hit me up over the weekend and I'll probably hop in for a round or two to get a break.  Also, I have confirmed that we can infact boost for the 50 wins, although thats quite a grind.  I think we should go for the unit related achievements while doing that grind, cause theres quite a few of them.

I forgot about Assassin's Creed 2 having a bit of a crap ending. Although I did get a bit bored of the story about half way through so this might explain it.

Yes cliffhangers can be annoying but deep deep down inside you know you love them guys!!! What could they have done instead of GOW2 ending. I think thats the rule for second games of the series or even films for that matter. Give a huge ass cliffhanger even though you didn't know the first one was going to be so popular so you made two more that tie together so “fantastically”. Somewhere in that rant is a contradiction I think! lol

No…. I don't.  Its complete bullshit.  See, I liked Uncharted 2's ending a lot.  It wrapped up the loose ends, you get the girl, you take out the asshole, its all good.  If they want to make a 3rd, its wide open to do that, but they could leave it as is and its a complete story.  The cliffhanger ending is a total gimmick to get you to buy the next one, and its lame.  Super lame.  GOW2 could have ended a number of different ways, but since it was originally planned as a trilogy, I'll allow it.  It still pissed me off.  MW2 however, was a shitty gimmicky hidden cliffhanger, they never even acknowledge the fact that you haven't accomplished your goal.  If you have to plan a cliffhanger in order to make sales on the next sequel, its because you know that the story mode was crap in the first place, and you need a gimmick to make sales on the next one.

yea, sometimes he gets them up early, and sometimes he misses them,,, I think its just the one guy managing this site in his spare time, which can be a bit of work to keep up on.  Sometimes I find it easier to find someone who has the game, and check by comparing trophies with them.  Also, for the record, I thought that demo sucked.  Maybe its just me, but for a side scrolling shooter, it had nothing special, fun, cool, or… anything… interesting, so it seems like a waste of money to me.  You're much better off with Trine or PixelJunk Shooter.

I thought the MW2 ending was awful story wise but that throwing knife into his eye was pretty cool.

Oh yeah SPOILER ALERT ABOVE if you haven't completed MW2.

The final mission on the Deal end of GTA IV was epic.

 I'm pretty sure I put a large spoiler alert there…

@Antony – mythology is just that – myth.  A collection of stories and fables that change over time as they are told and told again.  There is no truth behind them, and therefore no definitive way to tell it, which is why its so useful for a video game or movies.  They tell an epic story that can be tweaked or change to suit the needs of whoever is creating the media they wish you to see.  It didn't ruin anything, it just told things in a different but epic manner.

@people about the SPOILER! – its not a spoiler, it seems that this demo portion is not actually intended to be part of the game, but just something put together to show off Krato's new moves, new weapons, and some cool new enemies.  It was talked about in an interview I read awhile ago.  It was just a real cool way to end the demo.  You will not necessarily fight that titan, or any of them in the game… but then again… knowing how these things twist and turn, maybe you will.
