I've been playing the beta for it, I wasn't thrilled.

Looks pretty cool. Voice-over is freakishly annoying and seems to be attempting an imitation of Jack Nicholson not giving a shit. Not sure about side-scrolling swordfighting - perhaps I've just been scared off by the original Prince of Persia, but I've never felt that it works well.

Spending as long as I do here, it's easy to forget that Oddworld has actual fans.
The gameplay is a sad and watered down version of Ikarugas. I know that Ikaruga didn't invent polarity changing as a key gameplay element, but a bullet hell game where you switch back and forth with that much frequency has been done before, and better.
Looks like a bunch of better ideas mashed into something mediocre.
Red Faction: Armageddon promises more large-scale fights and big explosions. Since that was really the only reason anyone played the first one, it should do well.
“I always believe the movies I've made are smarter than the way they are perceived by sort of mass culture and by the critics,” Snyder said, a statement he immediately followed by saying, “Also, ‘It looks like a video game.’
I really enjoyed Guerrilla, but I probably won't get this one. Partially because its in between Brink and Duke and partially because I don't like the direction of it AND NO FUCKING MULTIPLAYER.
Crap, I forgot that Brink was coming out too. I almost pre-ordered it last Autumn, but soon after that it was delayed. I don't know if I'm that interested in it anymore though... Looks cool.
I'll get it a while after it's release probably. I don't have enough money to buy it when it's released, Mortal Kombat and L.A. Noire are more important right now!
I'm gonna get Pokeymon as well as one 3DS game. Probably Samurai Warriors because it's an easy button masher with lots of levels.

useless outside battle and sports anime.
But they're recklessly trying to make a slice-of-life anime about us.

Goddamn this thing is fun. the 3D effect works perfectly for me so far, and the console itself has a bunch of cool little games within!

Hawken releases new footage. I don't want to overexcite you, but I think it might be the best thing ever.
Darkspore is in beta. The consensus is it's a bit rubbish. Give it a whirl on Steam anyway.
F.E.A.R. 3 also has new trailer.
And nVidia released a bigass new beta drivermajig. If you have GeForce card you might want to check it out on their website.
EDIT: Also, Brink continues to impress with some of the most masculine-looking graphics ever seen. It's like Team Fortress 2 on steroids. I'm not going to list all the features, but I heartily recommend you check out their website.
