I liked Alpha Protocol, it's better than it's scores, and I absolutely loved The Last Remnant(scored around 5/10)and Too Human.

Endless Space

And this comes back from the dead...and by a believer no less. lol

Two Guns. Terrible dumb Hollywood shoot everything up movie. Garbage. Do not rent. You have been warned. 1/5

Same exact problem after the Xbox One patch. Patches breaking other stuff...just lovely. I'm starting to wonder if this game will ever work as intended.

I bought an Xbox One, and I'll say no, DR3 is not a system seller in my experience. Some may differ though, and since you burn your money maybe just give it a shot. :)

Also don't forget Titanfall is not that far away.

Yes of course. Keep playing it. I like it more though than the Bioshock 1 or 2. The gameplay stays fun in this one and the story is just nuts and much harder to see through for me than the other 2.

Interesting. Maybe there is something to this 'Bradley Effect'. :P

I just got the game on sale on XBL and just finished Brothers too. I loved the art design and music, and I really liked the controls, unlike many. But I mostly wanted to play it to find out about this great payoff in the story. It just wasn't there for me. I agree the game's too short. More character development, instead of the super meager hints about these two boys would have helped a lot. Maybe real words for god's sake. The brother's death was cheap, or unearned like you put it. It just became a devise for the emotional burial and 'epilogue', and was not too hard at all to see coming after the way the game started. They could have developed the spider girl more, or had the big brother perish in an attempt to protect his brother from all the environmental danger in the game. I guess overall, the game was too short and simplistic and took away from the overall gravity of the story that was trying to be told, and for the emotional payoff to really work well. Generally not enough substance in the story telling mostly, but also in the gameplay systems, agreed.

As far as how this game has gotten so much praise and support from the GB dudes, I'm not sure what they are really thinking in terms of putting it up there with(and above)some other really big and deserving games. After my experience with Brothers I felt it was good in some ways and had some cool ideas but it's not a great game, and especially not great in terms of any game of the year discussion.
