Actually there's a twist to this. Where I am, Optimum/Cablevision offer an HD VOD service. But *unlike* the normal cable HD channels (HBO, NGC, etc) the bitrate is much higher, compression much lower with the HD VOD content. Transformers looked *incredible.*

*Fuck* GameSpot. Let 'em get taken over, maybe it'll be for the better.

Sure can't be for the worse, at this rate.

WHO FUCKING PLAYS MORTAL KOMBAT

The *concept* of the tattoo is great, but, the tattoo itself *fucking sucks.* Did a 5-year-old do the tattoo? Did your "friend" the "artist" do it? Because dude, wow, that's *one bad tattoo.* Enjoy your life.

Snorting a line then nailing a hooker. =D

Yeah, their pages for the Play-and-Win are down like a clown, Charlie Brown. Nice followup to the primetime Live downtime yesterday.

Most legendary moment? First time playing Half-Life 2. The realistic characters, writing/plot, excellent scripted scenes, it all came together to be the best single-player FPS experience of my entire gaming life (22 years)!

Aw hey, if graphics for this were really lifted from the Dread Pirate Gregg, massive fail!

I'm a happy owner of a few Jobby Roger stickers. =)

"Shittiest game? I still don't understand the outcry on Lair. "

Because it has horrible controls. Controls are how you interact with the game. Ergo, bad controls = bad game.

"Lair is not an "AAA" title by any means."

Yes it is, it was meant to be from the start of development. A triple-A title means it comes from a seasoned developer, backed by lots of funding. There *is* such thing as a "horrible triple-A title." Lair's one of them.

"But it SURELY isn't the "shittiest game in recent memory". I doubt you even played the game. You probably saw all the reviews and came to the conclusion that it sucks."

Easy tiger, don't get so defensive. Have played it. The controls suck, period. I'm in the majority and the majority decides if a game is good or bad. This is one bad game, buddy.

I can't think of another title that had so much hype, funding, marketing (including dev interviews) fail so miserably, to the point where the first-party backer ran physical damage control (in the form of "how to review Lair" pamphlets).

Daikatana. Only one I can think of.
