I worked at a local GameStop while in college (and for a bit after), and I can honestly say that 90% of the complaints we got in-store basically boiled down to the fact that we were a BUSINESS that (shocker) tried to make money. Case in point, the trade-in values - people would bitch about how they'd get $5 for Game X and we'd turn around and sell said game for $35. Yeah, you're getting hosed (sorta), but A) GameStop's gonna make its money and B) It's a service, not a right - nobody forced them to trade in their game or accept our money...or "credit".

That said, GameStop does / did some pretty hinky stuff and, like Activision, has a real knack for alienating its customers (and employees, for that matter). While Best Buy may be closing the gap somewhat, GameStop still has a place as a specialty shop and can offer a wider selection of games that many brick & mortar stores no longer stock.

I'd almost call GameStop a necessary evil, but it's not always evil and I think we're quickly approaching point where it won't even be necessary anymore.

I'm all for free dlc, but I can't say that I'm excited for an 'extended' ending. I hated the conclusion to ME 3, and was somewhat disappointed in the game as a whole, but by now that's all kind of a moot point.

I don't care if the 'extended' ending was fabulous and fulfilled everything I ever wanted in the conclusion to Shepard's story - the damage has been done. I will never get that first experience back, I will never be that invested in the characters again. Bioware fucked up, in my opinion, but that's a mistake that can't really be undone and, honestly, doesn't need to be.

The Mass Effect narrative is what it is, and while I think it's shitty for people to dismiss fans' displeasure with said narrative, it's also shitty for a certain segment of the fanbase to think Bioware owes them a damn thing.

All that said, interested or not, I'm sure morbid curiosity will get the better of me. Hell, I bought those bullshit Star Wars blurays.

The whole "spiritual successor to GHIII" does nothing but further reinforce that I shouldn't buy this day and date.  I know a lot of people liked it, but I HATED GHIII and its continued focus on the story mode and whatnot.  I can dig some tongue-in-cheek heavy metal stories, but every time Neversoft tries one it just rubs me the wrong way  for some reason.    
 
Also, the new guitars LOOK hideous.  Just my 2 cents.

Lincoln Force - a squad based shooter with different classes of Lincoln?  At least that's what I heard....Jetpack Lincoln, Assault Lincoln, or the ever popular Stealth Lincoln who sneaks up on enemies and chokes them with his chinstrap melee attack.  Multiplayer (or Multi-Lincoln, as it is called) will feature both co-op team play, or versus objective game types, where the Lincoln Force most go head to head against the Johnson Assault Zealots.  Can Lincoln Force defeat the JAZz?  Find out Spring 2011.

I kind wish Butler actually did something as well.  I could totally have seen him launching into some crazy spiel that lead into the Twisted Metal reveal.
