Unless you are talking about Batman Bold, which I'll likely get to fairly soon from what I've heard of it.

Yeah, I meant Batman. It's the kind of game most gamers WOULDN'T think to play...

...so it's right up your alley!

I have hard nothing but good things from a broad base of sources, so figured something was up. Not sure I'll go so far as to get the DS version as well to get Batmite to work -- pretty cool idea -- and this is from the Shantae folks too, so it's got enough going for it that I'd pick it up. But yeah, realisitically, not likely to actually play it in the short term.

Gee, I wonder what I've been playing? Why none other then Halo: Reach of course! Awesome game. Totally loving it.

Should it have (Would it have been suitable) for it to have been called Halo 4? And if so, why do you think it wasn't?

Probably because it's a prequel. But it's basically Halo 4. Also, Reach is the first part in the Halo timeline from the novels, which I didn't know about until recently.

And Bungie said that they're not done with the Halo series, unless MS asks some other developer to work on it, which I doubt will happen. But when Bungie comes back to make another Halo for the XBOX Next, that will probably be Halo 4.

So odd to see those initials in use again after two years! The game is unique and timeless though; Glad you are enjoying it!

Holy crap!  I looked up on Google images, and someone already made it

^ RE: Halo Reach. Yeah, just wanted your opinion on that.  I think after the ODST naming debacle it would have been wise to give this one a number.  Hardly, looks like it's hurting sales though...

Not really because ODST's full title is "Halo 3 - ODST."

I think Bungie wanted to let us know that it's an expansion and not a numbered game. It was too expensive though. Should've been a $39.99 game not a $59.99 one.

I'm kind of hoping for Halo Wars 2 with a playable Flood campaign and maybe a more in-depth resource gathering system.

"I look around Tokyo Games Show, and everyone’s making awful games; Japan is at least five years behind,” said Keiji Inafune, 45, head of global research and development at Capcom and one of Japan’s most prominent game designers.


     “Capcom is barely keeping up,” he said in an interview at the show, which ended Sunday. “I want to study how Westerners live, and make games that appeal to them."

Gears? Oh man, I think about re-playing both of those at least once a month.
