E3 is pointless anyway, waste of people's time/papers/so much hype but all sh!tty at the end.

just do a press release on YouTube.

so we can watch it live, and laugh at you immediately. 0 waiting, 0 hiding, 0 travel.

E3 you can kiss my candy @ss good-bye for all i care.

Onee Chanbara will be interesting on wii... its sort of like Devil May Cry... the previous games in the series were released only in Japan for some reason. But, its like a heavily SIMPLIFIED and inferior version of Devil May Cry. It seems to be a series that tries to capitalize on a combination of enormous amounts of blood, and slutty looking characters.

Regardless, there is a 360 Oneechanbara game in development as well. So, don't expect to only see slutty samaria vampire hunters only on the wii.

I suspect if you guys knew it was nothing new (PS2 Titles before it), and that the sillyness was coming to the 360 too (although in a different title called "VorteX")... the Churro would have went to Valve.

I totally agree on the God Of War III tease award though. I guess in addition to being the bringer of chaos, Kratos also likes plenty of alone time at the top of scenic mountains. He also enjoys long walks on the beach and collecting sea shells.

Now, now...we wouldn't be taking the piss out of G4tv, would we? LMAO...golden churro, well done.

Best moment/s....Ben's blank stare after "just sittin' there, not fightin' anybody" during GoW III and Rob's "serious" critique of the tentacle beheading in Dead Space.

Biggest disappointment...Ben didn't wear a tie that was the SAME COLOR as his shirt, as well. Can we get some continuity over here!?!?!

BTW, glad to see the ol' Pixar endings/bloopers back, as of late.

Rob you have some excellent views and it's great to have a solid PC gamer do commentary on a show like this, but man, do you realize how much you fall back on repeating the last word Ben just said? If you do everything improv, try and work on thinking of different ways to interject rather than just repeating the last word(s) Ben just said, and if everything's pre-written and that's just the way it is.......fire your writer -_-

Didn't try to mean any offense there, I have great respect for you as a personality, I just have some genuine suggestive concerns.
