Random Thoughts from This Week

Xbox Live House Party is a dumb ass name. But Beyond Good & Evil HD for 10 bucks. I already beat the game and don't really have any desire to replay it, but then again, it has cheevos, right?

Super Meat Boy is coming to Rock Band via RBN? Sounds interesting. Made me go get the SMB OST. Too bad it's not Hot Damned

But it's a nice bounce back after hearing about the Harmonix Layoffs. I'm really worried about the future of that company and the music game genre.

MvC3 Shadow Mode sounds dumb. Not because I don't think it's a good idea. And not because I don't think it's necessary for the fighting genre. But because it's basically person specific AI and should be included with the game, NOT AS DLC. The whole thing about an actual Human Player is that they can change things up and react. At the base level the AI is only going to be able to track tendencies and regurgitate them. We'll see if and what they charge for and who will eventually be made available.
