I'm pretty excited about X-COM enemy within. The hostile human faction seems like an interesting opponent and story component.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

It's a Mario game, all the characters have the personality of cardboard (at least, the main Mario series does). It's the gameplay, and in Sunshine's case, the aesthetic, that's the main attraction.

Meh, even the gameplay seemed lacking, despite the bright, cheerful world.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

The faction seems underpowered
I am hoping they make normal a LITTLE bit harder

What I've so far seen implies that they come in great numbers, use tactics and that the elite versions of their agents are transhumans armed with laser weapons (possibly plasma as well later?)

Totalbiscuit complained that the biggest problem in the game is that the minimecha units are overpowered and should be / will be nerfed. But otherwise he was thrilled and said it was a good game/expansion. I'm probably going to buy it when/if I get a new computer.

Beat the Mr. Freeze boss fight in Arkham City once again.  God damn I wish all the boss fights were like that.  Really felt like Batman at that time.

Ironbite-though Batman should've known something was up when he walked into GCPD and saw the overhangs frozen up.

At first I was a bit annoyed at him being a puzzle boss but I have to agree that it really was a great boss fight. It's creative, it is in Batman's style of fighting and since there are so many ways to do it, it has replay value.

Minecraft's most recent update is nice, but I wish it wouldn't crash on me so frequently. It's gotten irritating.

Well I beat Arkham Origins.  Got to say I was really disappointed.  The last section was horribly optimized

I finally slogged through the disapointing last section of ME3, saw a new and equally disapointing ending, ranted about it online, and then watched the pilot of Orange is the New Black.
