I actually am looking forward to Borderlands, SW Force Unleashed and Fallout 3. RE5 isn't too far behind but definitely is not my most anticipated or "THE" most anticipated game even if it did come out in 2008.
Here's her "sort of" apology. New York Times: Author Faults a Game, and Gamers Flame Back I remember people talking about going to Amazon and other such sites and giving her book negative reviews. Some even posting, "I didn't read this book, but {insert bad revew here}." A little payback when she was asked if she actually played Mass Effect and she said No. Here are some of my favorite parts: 412 of the book's 472 user reviews were the lowest possible rating, one star. Another 48 ratings were for two stars. Only 12 of the ratings were for three stars or higher. In addition, 929 Amazon users had tagged the book with the keyword "ignorant." Tied for second place with 744 tags were "garbage" and "hypocrisy," while "hack" and "hypocrite" tied for fourth place with 710 votes. Gamers have also attacked the book on the Barnes & Noble Web site. On Friday "The Cult of Perfection" was ranked the 346,106th best-selling book on Amazon. Mass Effect, by contrast, has been a hit, selling more than 1.6 million copies since November. She is an author and needs to sell books so I'm chalking up her apology to that. Nothing really sincere. But, I guess she is starting to realize that even she can't stereotype gamers as only teenage boys. msjr78
