Never doubt the power of the cloud.

Great to hear you got your save back, but yes, this is one of the reasons why I prefer manual over auto saves :/

Bummer dude, can you back it up off your last save on the cloud?

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

Tell me a funny joke!
