Things like this makes me think we need a Men's Studies 101.

Masculinity is such an interesting topic!

I'm still on the fence about Too Human, I sure hope they did alot to improve it from when it was playable!

Beautiful imagery, I feel like I'm there.

I'm interested in both Lair and Too Human.  In Lair's case, it sounds like moving the action to dragons allows better translation from flying to ground-based action, but I've also heard that the PS3 tilty controls are not that good - LOL.

I liked Factor 5 a lot. RS 3 wasn't as good as the rest, but I still enjoyed playing it. Especially since you could play Rogue Leader in co-op. I think the fact that they're making something different will be good for them. It'll give 'em the chance to try new things (well, besides on-foot missions- guh). But, I won't play Lair for a really long time.

Even though I do feel like Rare isn't as good anymore, it'd still be good to have them aboard. I've heard Viva Pinata is good (which suprised me).

I'd get Lair over Too Human anyday, I find Too Human kind of boring, generic stuff, at least theres dragons in Lair!

It's not looking good for Lair. I've read some preliminary previews and it sounds "broken".  Very strange coming from Factor 5... oh well, now they can work on Rebel Strike 3 for wii!

Can't say I'm exactly surprised by the low scores.  They were asking for it.  They set the bar and everyones expectations for Disney Land and was only able to give Six Flags.  On its own merits it may not be bad but is was only going to break through its own hype with being impeccably excellent.

Maybe, maybe not. I still don't know why people got hyped about it, I remember Sony's so-called gameplay videos and then the extreme dissapointment (again I don't know why people get hyped over a Sony teaser which never represents the final product) when the REAL gameplay pictures were shown.
