| I bought it for like 5 bucks on a Steam sale. I still haven't even started it. I have the same problem with both Dead Space games. I have friends that rave about these games, I got them on the cheap....and yet my backlog is so huge they keep getting pushed back. I thought I would be more anxious to play this game. |

My picks: Atlanta, Buffalo, Chicago, Indy, Green Bay, Carolina, New England, Jets, San Francisco, Houston, Denver, Baltimore, Oakland, Cincy, Dallas, Washington
This week has some tough picks. ATL/NO, CLE/OAK, and NYG/WAS are all "coin flip" games. Hopefully I flipped a lucky coin. I feel a little dirty picking the Raiders to win.
Pitt has lost to Baltimore the last 3 times the teams have played by a combined score of 71-37. I admit that sounds worse then it really is thanks to a 35-7 blowout in 2011, but without Big Ben, I don't think the Steelers can put enough points on the board to compete.
There are some truly big disappointments this year, but the Lions, Jets, and the Eagles are my top 3 flops. I didn't think I would be picking any of them the rest of the year so to be picking the Jets this week feels...wrong.
On a semi-related note...please let this be the week my fantasy team gets back on track. I was crushing my division until the last 2 weeks. I still lead in overall fantasy points but now I am behind in the ranking by one game. I have both Schaub and Flacco on my roster and chose to go with Schaub this week. I hope that doesn't backfire on me.
@Creston: My luck can't last..it never does.  |

It certainly looks like the industry is trying to force the desktop PC into becoming the "fixed" appliance that tablets, smartphones, laptops, and your toaster have always been. Shame.
I mean, the death of the custom built tower is still a ways off, but it is easy to see where this is going. |

How much will the iOS version be?
I believe it's $10, but some of the features you find in the $20 pc version will be in app purchases.
IE the pc version gets everything, but at a higher entry price.
Exactly correct. Lower entry price on the iOS, but if you want all of the same content that PC version you pay the difference with a in-app purchase. The bottom line price is the same. At least that is what the forums and a tweet sometime ago said. |

Darks, It sounds to me like UFO: Extraterrestrials Gold might be closer to what you are looking to play based on your complaints about XCOM:UK.
Tried that game, its a piece of shit.
you're welcome. |

Apparently tattoos are similar to modern gaming software. You don't actually own your copy of the tattoo, you are simply licensed to use it.
I imagine that similarly to gaming software, by wearing the tattoo you are acknowledging the terms of service.

I was gonna say, it can't be a landfill for bad games.....there aren't enough games to fill a wastebasket let alone a landfill. 
Awesome hardware, but Sony really screwed up in terms of quantity of titles. AC, Madden, UC...all fantastic titles. Needs to have more of them by now though. PSP & PSOne ports don't count.
edit: Not that it would necessarily take advantage of the tech, but a NA version of Valkyria Chronicles 3 or even a VC 4 would get me to buy the system tomorrow. Just saying. |

It must be nice in that little black and white world of yours where everyone else's needs and wants must either be the same as yours or completely ridiculous. I would imagine it makes coping with the world much easier to be able to simplify it in such a way.
Tablets and laptops are two totally different markets. It is not an either/or type of situation unless you personally are making it one for some reason.
My wife and I each have a desktop, a laptop, and a tablet. We tend to use all three at different times and for different purposes with very little in the way of overlap. She also has a smartphone which I can't be bothered with. My tablet does all the same stuff and has a screen my old eyes can actually read. Her job forces her to be more mobile than I am though, so a smaller device is a benefit. I like having a phone that is well...a phone. I am enjoying it while I can, everytime I go into the phone store it seems like that section of "just phones" is getting smaller.  |

| It has always baffled me as well...the small amount of memory on consoles. It is so cheap. I would think they would aim relatively high in terms of amount, particularly when they know they want the product to have a 5 to 10 year lifespan as both MS and Sony claimed from the beginning. |

Mandatory tracking of legal citizens without some sort of "qualifying" criminal record is just wrong, regardless of age. I tried to come up with this scenario in my head where you embed the tag into school uniforms for elementary age children and younger...you know to help locate the child in case of abduction, fire, natural disaster, etc...and while it seemed more acceptable to me, it still is fairly easy to circumvent and in the end simply trains the child to accept constant invasion of privacy. I could not come up with a scenario involving teenagers where I found the pros to outweigh the cons.
I get what they are trying to do, I really do, I just think that the big picture concepts that this kind of thing stomps all over just aren't worth sacrificing. |

Yeah, as a die-hard, but realistic, Seahawks fan I see the Hawks as two different teams; a very good team at home who can beat anyone, and a very mediocre team on the road who can lose to anyone.
Which is really weird actually because traditionally two things travel very well...a good defense and a good running game...and the Seahawks have both. To be not so great on the road when those are the key strengths of your team is atypical.

I took some risks this week. Betting against NO and the G Men when they are playing at home is usually a bad move. |

Hey, I agree with you about the superiority complex some have about CoD but my Burmese stamp collection is one of the larger Myanmar-exclusive ones in the west of Northern Ireland and I'm very proud of this fact! Even if I am obviously just making it up. My collection is from Bolivia.
LMAO everyone knows that to be pro...you collect from Belize |

Thanks for the feedback folks.  It sounds to me like the game doesn't really add to the franchise and that even though the game isn't horrible and I would only be out 6 bucks, my time could probably be better used on something else.
It is one of the things I love about the new XCOM game...it holds up very well to my rose-tinted memories of the original game. The comments here do not give me confidence that my experience with Syndicate would be the same. |
