My Thoughts

1. Glad to see MvC3 get a release date finally. Hopefully this means they’ll tone down the constant stream of character reveals.
2. The collector’s edition of MvC3 costs $74.99 CAD. A bit pricey, but the extra characters and the steelbook make it worth it for me. I’m suspecting the characters are already on the disc and they’re going to charge unlock codes for it. Might as well get the package and spend the extra $15.
3. Poor Bizarre Creations. I enjoyed Geometry Wars 1 & 2. I didn’t spend much time with Blur or Project Gotham Racing 3 or 4, but I enjoyed what I played. Sad to see them closing. I hope somebody like Zenimax picks them up. They’re a talented bunch when you give them the right project. (ie: not third or first person shooters)
