RainDog505

At least one half will be Kinect titles including Dance Central 4, a new Kinect Sports, and a bunch of minigame compilations. The other half (or third) will be a mix of Halo sequel/remake (Halo 2HD/Halo3HD), Forza games (thinking Horizon 2 might be on the...horizon), Killer Instinct HD and a new Viva Pinata game (maybe a flagship Xbox One download exclusive) and Gears of War sequel/prequel. I also anticipate Microsoft to play up graphic fidelity/timed exclusive DLC for COD:Ghosts hard this November.

Typical troubleshooting tips:

1) Roll back all graphic card drivers and re-install them

2) Check GPU for dust accumilation or any signs of damage

3) Format HDD(s) and fresh install Windows.

Still no unlock here in Texas. The pre-order "grayed out" box appears in "My Games" but it's still saddled with a fat banner reminding me it's not released. Guess I'll go to bed and hope it's up in the late morning/early afternoon when my ass wakes up.

Feel free to add me; that quicklook has really got me worried about single player agency in this title.

As with any thread devoted to critic reviews, I suggest you find two or three critics you seem to have similar gaming tastes with and just ignore any other press.

I have some fuzzy fond memories of a boozy couples tournament of NBA JAM TE on MAME a few years back and a couple rounds of 2Fort pubbing in TF2 while downing a six pack of Rolling Rock...but I largely keep alcohol and gaming in two neatly separated boxes

I wouldn't be surprised at $350/$400 in the US, but if they're going to be aggressive, and they want to move units around Thanksgiving (which is when I expect it launches), they go with $250/$300.

Even at 350/400 USD, I bet Nintendo can coast through the American Holiday season with ease. Enough parents (and older dedicated Nintendo faithful) would shell out for Nintendo's new box. I would not be surprised to see an initial high price (see above) and a price cut a few months later (a la 3DS).
