Wasn't sure how I'd like it, but man is it gun. I enjoyed the latest iteration of Mortal Kombat and this feels like a really awesome upgrade to that. I'm not huge in to fighting games, but I may just have to pick this up sometime. Give it a shot, even if you only have a passing interest. It just might win you over. Gold Exclusive for now in Xbox, but the demo is on PS3 as well I think. http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Injustice-Gods-Among-Us/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80257528837

Picked this up today. Thinking about streaming it later on the channel when I get back from my nephew's birthday. I don't think Fury is streaming tonight and people are welcome to join me playing if they have it.

It's running out at the end of the month so I have a little bit of time on this. I don't always get to look at the deals thread or notice when I see a great deal on the subscription. That being said if someone notices a great price to buy a 12 month card or something before the end of the month would they kindly let me know or send me a PM? That'd be awesome. Thanks so much.

Check out this article. I am not a big fan or a fan at all of this site but wow 4000+ comments of pure hate for comments made by a Microsoft creative director: http://www.gamespot.com/news/microsoft-creative-director-doesnt-get-the-drama-around-an-always-online-xbox-6406464

Real quick, because I can't get an article up right now. In case you all missed this from last week. Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain..... Open world gameplay, runs on night/day cycles in real time, and in development for both consoles. You play as Big Boss and it takes place after the events of Peace Walker. David Hayter will not be reprising his voice role of Big Boss or Snake for this game Hayter said ~ "It’s been fifteen years, nine games, and an enormous blast to undertake,” he wrote. “If it were my choice, I would do this role forever. To hear anyone else’s voice coming from Snake’s battered throat, makes me a little ill, to be honest. But the truth is…

So I have never played this game and learned about it recently but held off on getting until this deluxe edition came out. I picked this up over the weekend and I must say this game is one of the best $40 purchases ever made! I put a few hours into this game and I simply love it so far. Love exploring and taking my time. The pawn system is the coolest thing. I hope they continue this series in the future. So that brings me to some questions I have. Feeling noobish here. 1. How do I change my main pawn's look? I made it but I must of been drunk or something. I just want to change a few things but can't find where I can do this. 2. So pawns you hire don't level at al…

Is it me or has the end of the year game line-up for Xbox 360 changed at all since 2009? I mean it looks exactly the same as the past few years! Well not exactly but.... I feel like we are getting the same exact games year after year with the same gameplay and a different number on the end. I think that is why I am loving my 3DS so much now since I have a backlog of neat RPGs to play. Sequel City - these are the main ones: Saints Row IV - Aug. 20th - This is becoming yearly now it seems like. I enjoyed The Third and hoping this one offers more. We will see but something tells me to hold off a couple months for some sort of price drop. GTA V - Sep. 17th - I was a h…

http://www.theverge.com/2013/7/3/4491108/microsoft-xbox-one-reputation-system-cordons-off-trolls This should have been in place already. Wtf has been the point of the current rating system all this time?

Its no surprise we already knew this anyways. Their focus is not on gameing for sure. The dash updates for 360 that changed everything to the tiles was to just to get us ready for whats to come. "Microsoft hopes that the inclusion of Kinect with every Xbox One system will allow the company to better serve contextually relevant ads" I don't want ads!! The sad thing with all this is they want people to pay for Kinect and Xbox Live! Some of this would be ok if Xbox Live were a free service.

Wow I had my doubts cause as you know I did not like GTAIV too much. In fact I hated it for many reasons lol. This game however looks pretty good from this new gameplay vid. I didn't really care for the three characters they announced and still don't but they could grow on me. This game looks like it has so much cool stuff to do it could be hard to pass up. We will see. If it wasn't for the open world and all the stuff to do I would not be interested so much. This video at the link below looks brighter and cleaner than the Youtube one for some reason: http://www.gamespot.com/grand-theft-auto-v/videos/grand-theft-auto-v-first-official-gameplay-6411190/?tag=Topslot%…

Haha! People can't make up their minds. It was not going to be Steam. Get over it! http://www.gamespot.com/news/petition-calls-on-microsoft-to-reinstate-xbox-one-policies-6411240

It was fine as a mobile game for .99 cents but the greed of this franchise knows no bounds. http://youtu.be/x0VulZxp_60 Article: http://www.gamespot.com/news/angry-birds-star-wars-coming-to-consoles-6411637
