- Xbox 360 E3 bound:
"Last month we showcased an all-star lineup of games including "Gears of War 2," "Fable 2," "Banjo and Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts," "Viva Piñata 2," and "Too Human." We still have quite a few aces left up our sleeve; see you at E3 next month!"
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
"We still have quite a few aces left up our sleeve; see you at E3 next month!"
I sure hope so because you are back to being beat in just about every market besides the UK. The line-up you have now is decent but I fear it's not enough to shift large quantities of hardware.
simply put.
Price cut. ASAP.
(a measly $50 price cut after almost 3 years?)
I thought they should have done another price cut last year when the 40gig ps3 was announced.
then i was sure there would be a price cut right before the release of GTA4.
So, now the PS3's got the momentum, people are buying ps3s knowing they can play ps2 favorites GTA4 and MGS4, plus they get a blu-ray player.
So now I'm saying there HAS to be a big price cut announced at E3.
After three years on the market, it's definitely time to hit that sweet spot for the mass market prices.
arcade $199
pro $249
elite $299
why not? the only difference between the arcade and the elite is the hard drive, which are ridiculously overpriced anyways.
Is this the only pic we can use for Shane Kim? lol :P
at least there not claiming "shortages"
Thats a shame I would have loved for them to use that excuse again. It would have been classic.
