I'd love to play another Prince of Persia game, but I would much rather play a PoP like The Sands of Time. SoT had a ROYAL feel to it which was amazing whereas the new one is going back to the dark setting like in Warrior Within. Sad to say, but the “realistic” Mario looks like a pedophile. lol.

Reports are that there will be NO Spring update. Teh Fail! I really like your idea about appearing offline to certain users. You don't dislike them enough to delete them but you don't want to be pestered by them all day either. I totally agree. Turns out it may be false. Reports are that there will be NO Spring update.

I totally agree.

I am quite impressed with the original direction of the game. It reminds me somewhat of Breakdown. I want to hear more about it. This game does look exciting.

Description scrolling with stick, delayed sign-in, automatic reconnection to LIVE, better organization of “my games“, option to change text colours, the data storage for faster loading is nice but my hard drive is really small as it is. It’d be a pain if I couldn’t download any demos because I don’t have any space because of the game installations. I don’t exactly understand number 33, does it say that if one of my friends is signing in and out repeatedly because of connection problems, I won’t see the same “xyz is online” alert again and again? I hope that’s it. Ultimately, I don’t care if they don’t do any of the things from this list. There are only two changes I want to see to make it PERFECT for me. 1) Remove ads, because I’m already paying for their service. Its fine to have them in the marketplace, but I don’t want to see those annoying ads under the “xbox live”, “games” and “media” blades. And 2) option to appear offline to selected user(s). There are a couple of friends I try to avoid online, but I don’t want to appear offline to all others because of just those two.

But you're right. It doesn't feel much different than the previous GTAs except for the bumped up visuals and it definitely does NOT deserve the perfect scores it's been getting from reviewers.

In HD <a href="http://www.gametrailers.com/player/34018.html" rel="nofollow">HERE.</a>. Nice blog! I am SO excited about this title, even I can't believe it. Watched the trailer like 15 times already. Whats interesting is that Faith is probably Indonesian. The shoes that she is wearing are called "loggo" which is supposedly a recognized Indonesian brand. I really liked Crackdown's colour scheme, I play GTA IV with it's brightness, contrast and saturation turned up much higher than the default and Mirror's colours are very simple, but perfect. And very detailed textures, thats awesome. The original music of the trailer is bad ass too, very calm and soothing and yet energetic as well. Piano with an electronic flair? Doesn't get much better than that. Hope the in-game music is the same kind. And by the way, I love Dubai! it'd be awesome if Mirror's was based there. Watch the trailer analysis HERE. In HD HERE..

And you have been playing it ^__^ Mario Kart is super fun! Can't go wrong. I like what you predicted about GTA4. And you have been playing it ^__^

I haven’t like a 3D Sonic since Sonic Adventure. I played Sonic Heroes and it was okay. My kids have a blast with Sonic and love almost every game he is in. I personally liked Sonic Rush and have yet to play Sonic Rush Adventure. But on the consoles, I’ve always wanted a 2D High Def Sonic game, and it looks as if Unleash will finally do that. Of course after the bug filled fiasco that was Sonic The Hedgehog on 360 and PS3, I am cautiously optimisic. If Sega keeps putting that kind of effort into thier titles, then I have to wholeheartly agree with your blog. Actually I was quite intrigued with the Sonic Unleashed trailer.

Now I see what you mean. I just looked up Blu-ray Profile 2.0 to find out what it is. Internet connectivity? Nice. Oh! Now I see what you mean.

I remember paying the full price when I bought it. Took it home, did the tutorial missions and liked what I played, it was REALLY cool. Slowly realized it had no story mode, so returned it for a full refund as soon as I could. Wow man, Shadowrun for six bucks? I remember paying the full price when I bought it.
