I just wish the Rock Band 2 setlist weren't absolutely terrible for people who like to sing.
I mean, seriously? Half of those songs can't be sung. No, not even by the original artists.

Just watched the FFXIII trailer/preview thing. Looks like it will be absolutely unbearable. That said, it seems like a very big thing for it to no longer be a PS3 exclusive.

Also, the new idtech5/Rage trailer has zombies in it. Great. What a surprising new turn id have taken.
The mannerisms of the girl talking in that clip looks makes her look like she is out of a really shitty rom-com or something. You can just tell she's got attitude.
On the plus side, I can't wait until someone makes a decent game with id's new engine. It looks pretty sweet.

Id's something of a dinosaur these days. I remember buying PC Gamer waaaay back in '97 and reading about the "FPS War" that was to take place in '98 to determine the course of the FPS genre over the coming years. Of the contenders, there was Daikatana, Duke Nukem Forever, SiN, Quake 2, and... some other game that I forget the name of. Anyway, the obvious victor was Half-Life. Id does not do Half-Life style games well, they do meat and potatoes shooters. Doom 3 took some ideas from System Shock but it was overlong and not terribly good. Quake 4, I don't know anybody who played it. Hell, Valve even out-engined Id with Source, which had never happened before (Half-Life 1 was based on the Quake 2 engine) and the only other game I remember using the Doom 3 engine was Prey, which almost doesn't count. John Carmack is and has always been a pretty brilliant programmer (I can't recall ever running into a bug in an Id game) but the market is hungry for a slightly greater level of ambition than Id can manage to come up with.

Man that FFXIII trailer was so bad. Once again, Square Enix goes on about everything except details about the fucking game.
