GLove88mph: Only game i've been excited for in a long, long time.

Add me to this list. Me and my GF cannot wait for this to come out. Thankfully, Infamous 2 comes out tomorrow, so that should keep us busy until November.

scottydoesntknow: jedimk: G4 is blocked at work, any new news about Mass Effect 3.

How about anything about a possible Borderlands 2?

Looks like it will have Kinect compatability.

Interesting, hopefully you won't have to act out your movements. I barely have enough room to use the kinect in my house as it is. I also hope it is optional and not required.

Shrugging Atlas: Quantumbunny: Shrugging Atlas: Speaking of video games, anyone here play Rift? I just picked it up last night and am planning on firing it up tonight. I've heard nothing but good things about it.

I do. Quite enjoyable. Got to 50 (cap) in about 3 weeks, still been doing stuff for a month, not tired of it yet. Haven't made another character, so I'm not sure how replayable the content will be, but I'm hopeful.

Cool. One more question if you don't mind: Within the classes, say cleric, is there any reason you shouldn't pick souls that are different. Like can you pick a Judicator and then one of the pure healing souls as your second? Or are the skills somehow linked so that you have to or at least should pick similiar souls (like all offense, or all healing)?

I've done a bunch of research over the weekend but can't really seem to find a definitive answer to that from someone that actually plays the game. I had it in mind to have the first soul be an offensive cleric and the second a healing/defensive type for groups. Just not sure if that's a horrible idea.

You can mix and match any souls you want, but some soul combinations have more synergy than others. The nice thing is you can make just about anything work if you're willing to adapt your playstyle to the build, and you will always be able to make a build that can suit your playstyle.

Also keep in mind that you can have up to 5 different roles, which means you can have 5 different combinations of any 3 souls that you can switch between out of combat with just a 3 second cast time.

On my cleric, my grinding/open world spec is heavy Inquisitor, with secondary Purifier and a splash of Sentinal. Normally, two healing souls would indicate a support cleric, but my points are allocated to turn it into an AOE farming machine with enough heals to keep myself up chain pulling 5 mobs at a time. In this case, Pur and Sent serve to compliment the main Inquisitor line.

Conversely, my dungeon healing spec has an even split between Purifier and Sentinal, with 0 points in Warden. In this case, I allocated my points so Pur and Sent compliment each other and create a very powerful healer with no offensive capabilities.

New Fable game?!

HawgWild: New Fable game?!

Wasn't expecting that at all.

Looks like Microsoft is trying to keep catering to their main demographic, college males, while still trying to pimp the Kinect to them.

Gears of War, Call of Duty, Ghost Recon, interactive UFC...

Trying to shoehorn Kinect into everything isn't going to work, and making it the only way to play really doesn't work. The Ryse game they saw looks like King's Field without a controller, which will get VERY tiring fast.

I'm one of those fools that believes Duke Nuke 'Em is gonna be released, so I bought the Pre-Order last night. I'm such a fool, I know...

Need Diablo 3 and Elder Scrolls 5... and Might and Magic 6!

Did they say Kinect's the only way to play them? That seems pretty stupid if they actually made the games unplayable without a standard controller.

They're all Kinect compatible. Very few are Kinect exclusive, because they don't want to alienate the wide majority of 360 owners who don't have a Kinect.

You mean like Dance Central? There are games that are designed just for Kinect... Ryse looked like one of them. But my opinion still stands... pushing Kinect onto games not designed for it is similar to making movies 3D that weren't filmed especially for it. It just makes for a watered down - or worse, broken - experience.

/Kinect Star Wars looks seriously lame...

That Star Wars game makes the prequels look good.
