Destiny with the most awards at Gamescon, including best Sony game, best action game and best online multiplayer game. (inb4 Primetime cries tears of mascara that Titanfall didn't get that last one)

We already know Titanfall will be amazing. Good to see another game I'm really looking forward to winning these awards. Now I just hope there is a couple months between these games' release dates. Glad Destiny decided to move away from the retard playing the game from E3.

Looking forward to Destiny. Seems interesting enough. I am pretty sure I will suck at Titan Fall and get frustrated.

Yeah I prefer an adventure to an arena, so Destiny has my bone throbbing with excitement.

Playing through Mirror's Edge for the first time, and honestly I don't see what all the fuss was about. It's definitely unique, but I'm already somewhat bored with the game and I'm only on the fourth or fifth chapter.

The story is awful, but the platforming is second to none.

Any of you PS3/Vita homo's picking up Spelunky today? Great, great game. I can't decide if the Vita cross buy possibility would be a good thing or a bad thing. On one hand, mobile Spelunky seems like it would be a very cool way to play it, given how the game operates in small bites (for the most part). On the other hand, I could see enjoying it until just about the time I got to the Temple, screamed, and chucked my Vita into traffic/the sewer/a homeless person's face.

Not today, but I will eventually.

Currently working on getting Spelunky this week.

Game's up there with fellow rage inducers like Bit.Trip... Runner in the Nintendo Hard category later on.

My only issue is that the PC version's the only that has the Daily Challenge right now.

I'm playing the DEMO of Spelunky and I'm getting absolutely destroyed.

So far, so good.

EDIT: Upon further review, if you're able to get passed the Mines (1-1 through 1-4), the demo cuts off there.

It's a small taste and knowing that the Jungle's right there but you can't play it is definitely an incentive to buy if you don't pull your hair out getting murdered a bunch of times.

Anyone have an opinion on Bully: Scholarship Edition?

It's the full version plus some extra Christmas-based missions where you work for a drunken bum dressed like Ol' Saint Nick.

You can't go wrong with Bully and more of it never hurts.

Well, my PS3 finally shit the bed. It's been quite a long journey, friend. RIP
