I was going to write a review for Game & Wario tonight. Then after I sat down to do it I got a call from a friend I hadn't heard from in 2 years. He was flying from Texas to Paris to go bang a Russian woman, but his flight was late so he missed it. The airline put him up in a hotel room with a voucher, but he needed me to put down a credit card for hotel room incidentals otherwise they wouldn't let him stay. The hotel wouldn't take it over the phone so I had to sign paperwork and fax it back to them along with some other stuff. This is a good example of my friends. Now I'm too tired to write the review.

That sounds exactly like a social engineering scam.

Recycled content:

For those complaining about bias and how EDGE is being irresponsible they are an EDITORIAL magazine.  Everything they do is based on their opinions.  It doesn't mean that their individual reviews are skewed pro-Sony or MS, they review each game on its own basis.  For a consumer goods publication they'd be delinquent in their duty to not report which console they think best benefits their (mostly UK) readership.

I would like to see more editorial outlets give an honest appraisal of the consoles, but given how most gaming outlets are very advertising sensitive, you won't see that happen.

Gamespot could kind of do it, since their editorial staff doesn't do news (the news staff is distinct from the editorial staff -- at least last time I checked, I know a lot of people were fired, maybe that has changed).

EGM did this with the XB and GC years back (to their credit).

If it were anyone else on earth, yeah I'd agree. For my friend Dave, this is actually standard operating procedure with him. He's been through more adventures and misadventures than any 10 other people I know.

GG if you hold off a month or two you know that GTA V will get a price cut. The series always sells quickly and the price cut comes accordingly.

Thank you for bringing up EGM's XBOX vs GC, Aspro.  I remember that one well when XB barely won.  Btw, GC won a year later.

Is the gameplay in Bioshock 2 significantly better than in 1? I was going to play through all 3 in a row, but if it's no better than 1, by the time I get to Infinite (and if Infinite is no better either) I will probably expire having spent 30 hours in the same setting...though that might make Infinite seem like the greatest game ever. But rapture>skyland>rapture doesn't seem quite so daunting.

^ Gameplay-wise, they are all fairly mediocre. It's the story and atmosphere that matters in a Bioshock game.

Yeah, which is why I'm thinking it might be best to do 2 after Infinite if none of them get any better.

I finished 1 and Infinite, but couldn't be bothered to finish 2. I'd play them 1 and Infinite, and skip 2 altogether, or play it last as you said.
