While I may never play a game like this, it warms my heart to know that the community behind it is willing to take steps to support the title they love to play.

And that the studio is willing to do anything to keep their audience happy because it makes them happy.

Twigg u wasted all that time typing that up and you were most likely not on the correct webpage.

Anyway..Future Soldier is pretty good. I really like 3rd person shooters over 1st person. I like the short understandable mission like take this Drug Lord out, rescue this CIA agent, ect, ect. I like all the gadgets u have access too. Graphics are meh and there is a lack of polish but I am enjoying it.

Deus Ex: Human Defiance Trademark Spotted

Square Enix has filed a trademark for the title "Deux Ex:Human Defiance".

It's not yet clear whether the application, which was filed yesterday, refers to a new entry in the series of prequels that began with Deus Ex: Human Revolution or the recently announced Deux Ex movie.

Of course it could all amount to nothing, but given the significant success enjoyed by the last game in the franchise, we'd be amazed if Square Enix wasn't keen to follow this up with a sequel.

Darksiders, Homeworld, Red Faction and other IPs next on THQ auction

THQ has announced that it will be auctioning off the intellectual property rights for a large portion of its back catalogue, including Darksiders, Red Faction and Homeworld. The full list of properties up for sale, broken into six lots and posted in full after the break, also includes games like Destroy All Humans! and numerous licensed products.

Once interested bidders have gone through the proper channels, initial bids must be submitted by April 1, 2013, with final bids due on April 15. Once all bids have been submitted, THQ will talk the situation over with the various entities it owes money to and will then designate a primary and back-up bid for each lot. Once all that has been completed, the sales will be presented to the court for final approval, expected to take place in May.

.

That may be a possibility. All I know is I googled "Sony Playstation store online" and besides all the links to the PS Blog about the announcement of it that was the page it linked me to.

It looks like the wife and I have a date with the town of Silent Hill Saturday. I've never seen the movies or played the games before playing some Homecoming the other day. She's digging it and she liked the first movie so we're going to watch both movies and play some more Homecoming. Depending on how long it takes we may get to Downpour this weekend as well.

So in Mass Effect I made the mistake of not having a save file before going to Ilos because I just assumed you could continue after the main story was over to do side stuff, that's not the case. So my question is should I go through the game again and do all of the side stuff before Ilos to set myself up for ME2 and 3? Or would that not be worth all the trouble? I did one side mission the entire game and that was just a mission for Garrus.

I really dont think I want to go back and do all of it with this save, gives me a reason to play through it all again. What would you ME guys say to do in my situation? (Swarley, Jay, etc.)

I would not do it over again right now. If you do, you'll likely burn yourself out before you get to the end of the series. I made the mistake of playing 2 first, then I wanted to do a full run to have a character ready for ME3's release. I went back to one and then replayed 2 again (all in Feb.). By the time 3 came out I was too burned out to really play through it. I say just continue on.

Then that settles it, I continue onwards to Freedom's Progress!!!!

Still really loving the campaign in Future Soldier. It is very Tactile (if you want to approach it that way) and strategic. I try to not kill enemies and sneak around. I love all the gadgets they give you as well. I like the small bitsize missions they give you with a clear objective. I know there is a larger story over all but I never bother to really follow it nor do I need to. Look forward to finishing it this week.
