Although the episode is mostly seriosu, at the end it appears that the series will be returning to Blood Gulch and the cast of the previous Red vs. Blue seasons. However, it has not been revealed how many of the original characters will return.

Beyond Good and Evil was a game for the original Xbox in which gamers played the character of Jade, a girl who took pictures and fought monsters with the help of her "uncle"(a biped pig). It was regarded as many as an underappreciated gem of a game. I personally enjoyed it a lot and look forward to a sequel.
THQ said "marketing and issues and product quality" are the reasons behind the decision.
Sounds good to me. I really enjoyed the way Saints Row took the good parts of GTA and made them better. I did have a lot of bug problems, so if they are fixing those then I'm glad it's delayed. Nothing pissed me off more than driving along and then getting stuck in a building because the Xbox didn't draw it there fast enough.
I imagine GTA IV's success is playing a small role in this as well. I hope SR2 really ups the game, like they did with their first release.

The DLC will be for both PS3 and Xbox 360, available on their relative networks. The new content will include two new co-op campaign maps and one new multiplayer map.
The map pack is called The Veteran Map Pack and is sponsored by Pontiac. It will be released in the United States and Europe.
Personally, I'm looking forward to it. New content is always a plus, especially free content. And I liked Army of Two and look forward to playing it again.

I think this is a pretty cool thing. YouTube is hoping more games and systems will take advantage of their new service. It would definitely be sweet if some of the games that already allow users to capture video took advantage of this. I'd love to be able to instantly upload some Halo 3 videos to my YouTube account.
That is crazy. I imagine that average gets boosted by downloads, like new maps and free games.
He's not mad at Rockstar or Take Two in specific but feels like the industry itself needs to change. The problem is that the Screen Actor's Guild doesn't really deal with residuals and royalties for video games. It's a gray area for them. There probably will be changes to this in the future, but for now, video game companies only have to pay for work rendered. Whether the game does well or not, the actors are paid the same.
Now, Hollick was paid about 50% more than the standard daily fee. And honestly, he did a great job. But he's not the reason people play the game. They could have found someone else to read the lines and it would most likely be the same. After all, you never heard the voiceover guy for the main character in Saint's Row complain. (<-joke) I believe this is the reason that video games are such a gray area for SAG. The game drives consumers, not who the star is.
Meanwhile, Jason Zumwalt, the guy who voiced Roman, has his own little parody about not getting paid on YouTube.
A friend of mine got the Wii Fit. He is one of those crazy people who actually go to the gym and work out on a regular basis. He is not fat, but Wii Fit ranked him at the fattest possible on their scale. This is because his BMI is more than the "healthy" average should be. Muscle weighs more than fat so if you just looked at his weight, height and age on a chart, it would indicate that he is a big tubbo.
That's all it is, people. A chart. Your BMI is at one spot, the game will tell you you're healthy. Another spot and you're fat. So what? It's just a tool to try and help keep you a little more fit. You want to really be fit? Be crazy and go to the gym and eat healthy.
I've also seen stories about gamers who bought the Wii Fit but are too heavy to play it. It says right on it that the maximum weight is 330 lbs! If you weigh more, the Wii Fit is not for you!
And I agree. Sure, this will start filling people's harddrives faster, but Microsoft is still standing behind their delete it and download it again free stance. As long as that doesn't change, bigger XBLA games are a good thing.
Originally, the size was 50 MB so gamers could fit them on the memory cards for the Xbox 360. But let's face it, hardly anybody is using one of those cards. The real gamers all have harddrives on their 360.
I think this is a mistake. More and more companies are trying to shift to the multiplayer at the expense of the single player. Now I may just be an old gamer and I understand that gaming is more socially accepted these days, but most of the "great games" in my experience are single player games.
Now, I love playing online with my friends. I've had great times with Halo 3, GTA IV, COD4, etc. online. But my friends have lives. They're not always available for gaming. And I've had some horrible times playing online with strangers. Many of the people online are social miscreants who apparently have no friends and take it out on the others they play with. I hate when a game forces me to play with strangers.

This seems like a dumb idea. Sure, there's some crap games out there on XBLA, but it's all digital. It doesn't cost Microsoft anything to keep it on the marketplace. Microsoft says that they want to start deleting games for two reasons: 1) "quality over quantity" and 2) there are too many games on XBLA, making it confusing.
Quality over quantity is a great idea. I love it. But they should focus on this before the games are released. Don't release games on XBLA that suck. It's as simple as that.
Too many games available on XBLA? That doesn't sound like a problem to me. That sounds like a good thing. The interface could use some work, though. Cycling through approximately 130 games can be irritating.
The reason I really feel like these deletions will be a bad thing is this: Microsoft has always touted the fact that you can delete your XBLA games to clear up room on your harddrive and then later redownload them at no cost. If these games are deleted from XBLA, users will no longer be able to redownload them.
Honestly, I think this is probably a good idea. I prefer a kickass single player game to a mediocre single and multiplayer game. Prototype looks like it could be a good game and hopefully it will bring Sierra back some of its former gaming glory. Also, this will mean that it will eliminate or reduce any delays for the game. Multiplayer is usually where you find the biggest glitches, bugs and problems in a game.

Cutscenes of an hour and a half long? Isn't that a bit much? I can get frustrated with 5 minute long cutscenes. I tend to watch the whole thing because I'm interested in the story, but I don't know about 90 minutes long. That seems absurd.
The game creators say that gamers who skip the cutscenes will miss out on a lot of the story. Why isn't this story being told in a playable format? Interaction, people! That's why it's a game and not a movie!
