    Just on the discussion about Gears and Resistance, isn't it great that we're to the point that great developers recognise how to make awesome sequels? For a long time, it seemed the first game in many series was always "the best". Now, it's great to see studios expand upon the fundamental gameplay in interesting ways to create something exciting and compelling. I can't wait to see how Arkham City, Revelations and Uncharted 3 turn out.
