xiii is actually the first final fantasy game i may actually buy. go jrpg without the trite facets of jrps (towns in particular). definitely won't pay more than 20 usd for it though.
But have you SEEN the commercial? I mean, I was right there with you, but... my god. I've never been turned off of anything more quickly in my entire life.
Apparently Portal 2 is going to be a full price release for PC and Xbox 360. I guess that means it'll be hella longer. Not sure how I feel about that exactly.
Don't mind me. And don't tell game informer. Holy crap those are some nice graphics. Also, not sure if uploaded in correct order. Oh-well. Oh, and the right page gets cut off because Taiga is weird like that. There's a scroll-bar at the bottom though.
Oh wow, this sounds like it's going to be awesome. I love the little bits of humor thrown into this article in the images showing off the new gameplay elements. (Such as the CONFIDENTIAL bit on the Thermal Discouragement Beam image) If they can keep up the magic that was in the first game for the entire way, and I'd like to think they can because it's Valve, this is going to be pure gold in the end. Plus, everything I read about during this article makes me think they're already well on their way to achieving that goal.
Now I have a game to look forward to this fall. Up until now, Other M looked to be the last game I knew I was going to get this year (Unless Zelda/StarCraft II do end up coming out, that is.) but now there's Portal 2.
Oh, and that set of images with the bedroom are definitely priceless if you read what's going on in them.
