Why you gotta be so down on metal gear rising, Brad? It had troubled development but ever since they gave it to platinum and started showing it off again its been looking great. Platinum can do character action combat better than anyone else (Bayonetta) and with Kojima doing direction it should have great combat and be batshit crazy, all the trailers look great.

I find that I enjoy the background games more than the main ones. Giant Bomb needs to turn up its Kerbal factor!

DOUBLE YES. New Segment: "Straight to the Moon with Vinny". We watch as Vinny puzzles his way to create a perfect rocket that would take the Kerbals to the moon.

Please tell me I'm not the only person who went to Wikipedia to look up daggering because they had no idea what it was.

Also I too would love a semi-regular series about Vinny playing Kerbal Space Program.

I'm kind of thinking of getting this game since I haven't played a competitive online shooter in awhile but I have a feeling like it will get boring after not even a week.

I fell asleep for a lot of it. Usually I wouldn't go back, but I have to see the Kerbal.

I just realized that Hybrid reminds me of Ender's Game battleroom battles. The enemy's base is down.

If you mean mentally due to how entertaining it is, then maybe? If you mean the time that they record for TNT, lately it has always been about an hour and a half.

@Scotto: Slightly extreme but I kind of agree.

This game looks rad. I'm not going to pay for Xbox live but if I did I'd be all over this game.

Reminds me of Tribes.

The replay feature is fast becoming my favorite part of TNT.
