oh my, another mac user on staff. justin will not like this. but we can take him, jeremy.

i'm with you, jkaaaay, i think coop would be great in this game. but im against you re: the time period. i think an AC title set in feudal japan would be just massive. your character could be a ninja, you could climb pagodas instead of castles, explore 16th century Tokyo instead of Rome, throw stars instead of knives, all sorts of awesomeness.

but if i had to pick from european countries, i'd def go with England over Italy.

HAHA. excellent reference, nevin, just excellent.

we really want to know that stuff too, mike. we've got until the fall to figure it out, so i'm sure we'll see more from Bethesday on New Vegas sooner or later.

i realize ps3's had an open beta for a whlie now (and admittedly should have referenced that) but i think there's a difference between a beta and demo. one's for testing and one's for marketing. i think there are some gamers out there who would skip a beta and wait for a more polished demo experience.

nutzilla - a demo is a essentially a marketing vehicle and timing it would be part of a marketing strategy. but yours is a good point, maybe its just down to something technical like how quick MSFT or Sony can get it up on their network.

apologies to the ps3 fanboys if i overlooked the beta here. but my main point is the question of why these demos are staggered. im most interested in if the publishers, or developers, or consoles themselves have the final say.

gimli with a grenade launcher, ftw.

I officially need to get myself a PS3.

Roland, are you seriously throwing a "people are dying in Haiti" at us? News flash, reality cop, you're reading a VIDEO GAME NEWS SITE. By your logic, if we need to get a life, so do you.

i've watched one episode of mad about you in my entire life - it was where paul reiser accidentally takes a viagra and has to walk around hiding a stiffy. hilarity ensues within the "studio audience". i changed the channel, vowed never to watch the show again, and placed a curse on paul reiser that someday he'll be underwater raped by a sperm whale.

oh man, corporate greed strikes again!
First they put Ripley and her entire team in danger just so they can bring home some biological weapons, and now they censor Earth's interwebz.

Damn you Paul Reiser, DAMN YOU!!!
