What are the 3rd Neverwinter Nights expansions? DLC packs being called expansions? Not that I'm complaining. I've still got ALL the discs for the main NWN games and expansions from back in the day but I'll totally be getting that classic D&D pack.
I still think Mask of the Betrayer on its own is worth the price of the NWN pack. |

Though Guillemot said pre-orders for the soon-to-launched Assassin's Creed: Revelations are "significantly higher than last year," the company's financial guidance is assuming the new title will see a "double digit decline" in sales compared to last year's Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
This seems oddly worded. To me it sounds like they will get quite a bit of initial sales (as mentioned by pre-orders) but long term sales will rapidly decline?
Sounds more to me like they're being realistic about avoiding the Guitar Hero effect of assuming that the initial popularity for a franchise will never wane. The people who really want yet another AC game -will- get it on launch, the more casual fan of the franchise will wait for the inevitable price drop to around $30.
At this point in the franchise there's absolutely no reason for anyone to still be on the fence about these games, counting on impulse sales and converting new fans is folly, and it sounds like they actually have an exec who understands that. |

OBVIOUS PUBLICITY STUNT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS.
It's not like Cannibal Corpse has ever taken themselves this seriously nor are they recording a new album slated to be release early next year... oh, wait.

Can one of you smart guys tell me if it's this game i'm thinking of where it was mostly squad based, continual movement -capture, progress- game..or were there bases?
I suck at RTS's.. flat out suck.. so I like to turtle up and take my time..which DoW game is right for me?
totally unrelated- is there ever going to be another Earth 2160 game? that game was money!
There were bases in the original Dawn of War series, the Dawn of War2 series is what you describe at the start of your post. If you want to turtle this is not the game for you. I miss turtle-ing too, haven't found better than the original Starcraft for that style of play. |

Is this game any good? I haven't played any of the series.
Retribution is by far the weakest installment in the series, little to no replay value for single player unless you're a trophy whore. The direction of the DLC and patches seems to indicate that Relic has given up (or never had any intention) on improving the lame SP campaign.
The original DoW games are a bit more traditional with base building and big hordes of units, DoW2 is more about tactics and efficient use of specialized squads for SP. Soulstorm is the best of the original style (and arguably the entire series), Chaos Rising is tops for the 'new' style.
Both games feature 'normal' MP with base building and a capture and control style gameplay, part 2 adds 'The Last Stand' co-op arena mode. |

Four fucking updates and they still haven't fixed the rampant hl2.exe crashing.
Glad to read I'm not the only one suffering with this. I've actually gotten MORE crashes with the newer patches. It felt like I was having to restart TF2 after every round last night.
I suppose rolling things back to how smoothly things worked last week would be too much to ask. What are the odds we get custom TF2 title screens encouraging people to fool around with the workshop and the Mann-conomy after the actual game crashes - Stiffen your lip Solider, just because your game crashed doesn't mean you can't spend money in the Mann-co Store! Get Shopping maggot! |

Wow the ISAM thingy is truly stunning
Too bad it's the weakest album in Tobin's catalog and plays like a rehash of The Foley Room. After listening to the man for a decade I'm supremely disappointed in his current aural direction. |

guys -- the online components are lame (no argument there) but the "dynasty stuff" and "custom heroes" are fluff bits. You dont remotely need them to enjoy the campaign game offline.
If those were actually 'fluff' bits then Ubisoft wouldn't remotely need to limit them for paying customers. |

I can barely recall the soundtrack. Splinter Cell Chaos Theory it was not..
Though it sure as hell tried sounding like older Amon Tobin.
My real question in regards to this DLC is how does it take into account the 3rd option when you finish the original story? Seems kind of contradictory. |

| On one hand I'm super jazzed for a new Mechwarrior game. On the other... I really wish they just redid the graphics engine for Mechwarrior2: Mercenaries. To me it was by far the best of the bunch. Full control over your mech company. Full control on what missions you took. Endless replayability with random missions, even once the 'real' campaign was done. No vindication story for some snot nosed noble who preferred slumming it up (are we playing a Hilton?). Just wicked awesome giant robot destruction. |

You're right, it's not that hard to fix after the first time. I also think you're onto something with the HDMI via DVI adapter as I don't remember it ever happening before I switched cables. Though I'm noticing now with the new drivers that it resizes down 10% EVERY time I boot up 
Ah well, much bigger fish to fry. |

| I just wish these drivers stopped rescaling my display down 10% of my actual monitor size every time I update them. It's pretty freaking annoying. Or is a single 27" widescreen at 1920x1080 somehow considered abnormal? |

| This attitude right here - "once you buy our game, you don’t need to worry about any additional costs – we will provide all updates, including those featuring new content, for free." - is what is sorely lacking from the rest of the AAA video game industry. |
