I don't think Drive was that great of a movie.

I'll go so far as to say I thought Drive was a TERRIBLE movie.

I know you specifically said no more Just Cause 2, but I can't stop thinking "just play some more Just Cause 2".

I'm in a crazy rut right now and this thread got me thinking that maybe more JC2 is just what the doctor ordered.

I decided to pick up Modnation Racers finally.

It's alright.

I wonder, does any of his predictions actually came true?

If they didn't...

@Mordukai said:

he gets paid very handsomely for those predictions, go figure.

...he wouldn't.

Also, I realized that I haven't mentioned Cliff Bleszinski, as has no one else, and I'm interested to see what's next from him, too.

Oh yeah, I'm with you on that one. Guess I just still haven't fully realized that Gears of War is over ...well, for now anyways.

Does Fortnight count? Or is he just "the dude who goes on stage" for that one?

They're not individuals, and their not my favourite companies but I can't help but be excited (maybe intensely interested is a better way of saying it) to see what Respawn and Bungie are working on.

If I HAVE to pick an individual, I'd probably say Inafune because of his recent turmoil.

I loved Jet Set but at this point I think I'd prefer to see a new but smaller, downloadable Jet Set Radio game.

I only say that because I feel they could potentially do something real interesting within the downloadable game space.

Like the PS3 thread I'll just pull the first ten off the top of my head:

1. Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise
2. Gears of War (any or all)
3. Dance Central 2
4. Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
5. Halo: Reach
6. Dead Rising
7. Mass Effect
8. Forza
9. Shadow Complex
10. Blue Dragon (yes, I'm one of those)

It was a little harder to name ten for the 360 than it was for the PS3 but only because I don't like loading the list with multiple games from the same franchise. Personally I think PS3 has the greater number of must-play exclusive IPs, but I think the 360 has stronger exclusive franchises.

@Kidavenger: DAMN YOU and your pesky "research"!!

Guess I'll go buy Portal 2 then.

Because we don't want to see big big evil company like EA run a small, friendly, Mom-n-Pop shop like Valve out of business? Bit of a shame that a company isn't allowed to sell it's own products sans-middleman without silly, self-righteous, internet indignation.

...also, I refuse to buy any more Valve games until they make them available on Origin (I bet you hear how silly that sounds despite being more-or-less the same thing).
