Sounds like a disaster in the works for this Deus Ex flick.
Just use Human Revolution as a blueprint and make us all happy. |

I've been playing the Amazing Spider Man movie tie in game released last year. I enjoy the gameplay enough, but it has to have the most cringeworthy script and acting I've seen in a long while. Spidey is straight up obnoxious and I actually feel ok with dying because it shuts him up for a second.

Daily Gaming News:
1) More complains have been leveled against Gearbox with this time involving the Wii U version of Aliens Colonial Marines. According to testers from Sega, Gearbox also lied about the status of this version and have found out its even more broken than the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Ali...ter-52659.html 2) A writer from Telltale Games teases the company might be releasing more Walking Dead chapters in the near future as part of the lead up to the release of the second season for the game. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...son-2-content/ 3) Square Enix confirms Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX will be released in both Europe and North America for the PS3 although no release date was announced as of yet. http://www.screwattack.com/news/squa...-15-remix-west 4) Another patent from Sony was recently discovered with the idea of using loading times to detect if a game copy is legit or pirated. According to the patent, normal loading problems will not trigger a false positive and only collects user information if a pirated copy was actually detected. http://www.screwattack.com/news/anot...een-discovered |

Maybe his eyebrows will move more realistically.

I just checked the Ultimate Game Sale out and Virtua Fighter 5 is listed as being about £5 but, when you actually click it, it's £2.69. Glitch?

Hmmmm.
I'm just dreaming, but I hope this new Assassins' Creed game got some traces of Sid Meier's Pirates in it. That might get me hooked into buying it. But right now, I'm gonna pass it up. |

Bought Dirt 2 strictly to drive the trophy trucks and Power Wagon. Apparently I never learn about buying racing games and then playing them once or twice before I tire of them...like Forza Horizon. At least this one was only $5.

EA and MS allegedly have some kind of partnership that they'll reveal at their console reveal.
Assuming timed-exclusive DLC. Can't see EA leaving all that Playstation money on the table with actual game exclusives unless MS have paid them a metric buttload. |

Why what?
Why did I buy it? Because it was under £3 and I had considered buying it for much more in the past. Why do I not think I'll be any good? Because it's likely more technical than I'm used to. You know I'm not a technical fighter by any stretch of the word. It's a whole new world to me, more or less, so we'll see how I do. |

I can't be arsed to bring up old complaints about Virtua Fighter, let's leave it at I don't like it. Actually I asked why in the sense that you didn't seem interested, but now that you cleared that up I get it.
