Weekend Confirmed 119 - Spec Ops: The Line, Halo 4
by Garnett Lee, Jun 29, 2012 11:00am PDTAfter visiting with its designer last week, Spec Ops: The Line stands for inspection. Adam Sessler and Paul Semel join Jeff and Garnett in the discussion that looks at the game both on its surface as a shooter and its underlying ambitions to seriously address the carnage of a "heroic," one-man rampage. Along with the discussion of violence, the conversation also turns to the sustainability of the big-budget console game. Halo 4's commitment to episodic content and the demise of Radical Entertainment lead the news discussions. And of course, it all wraps up on Finishing Moves.

I know, I know, not that big a deal. I bought a 360 early and have/had 20 gig drive, and refuse to pay the outrageous price they want for more space. Over the years I've not bought many games digitally, or from xbla because of that. Now I have less than 2 at any given time. Ugh I get it this is a me problem, but I guess I'm passing on halo I was getting kind of excited about cortana and chief oh well...
