Shaken, not stirred

To start off the week, we need the quintessential 007 quote: "The name is Bond. James Bond."

This week marks the release of the much anticipated retail remake of Goldeneye, GoldenEye 007: Reloaded. If a refresher is what you need, then check out our announcement coverage. Joining Goldeneye this week is SEGA's next stab at a successful reincarnation of their beloved Sonic, Sonic Generations.

For some, Sonic and Bond aren't even close to be on their most anticipated list. That honour instead goes to Snowblind Studio's Lord of the Rings: War in the North. Who wouldn't want to take a hero of Middle-earth and slice through some orcs?

Before you go on and make some possibly bank altering purchases, remember that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim are both coming out next week.

Seriously. Are there Cabela fan boys? I liked some of the ones I played. Can you imagine though, if they put out three halos, or three gears or three call of duties at once....death to many wallets.

Poor pre-order bonuses and a poor showing on later gameplay videos dashed my hopes for Goldeneye. Hopefully the multi's fun as that might be it's last chance of me getting it anytime soon.
MH The Rockstar - 1 hour "reveal" that really didn't reveal much. Need more details before I can form an objective opinion.

Why are all the comments appearing in italics? Were the article italics not closed off properly perhaps?

Edit: Fixed after I refreshed the page. :S

this looks like mostly garbage...maybe a gem or two hidden inside. all i know is goldeneye is not going to be the same, therefore it will not be goldeneye.
