"In my mind, Google TV is about the most interesting product idea in recent gadget history. It’s poised, ready, not to disrupt the TV industry, but rather provide consumers true on-demand options with no extra work on the networks’ part. There’s nothing particularly novel about Google TV, but the whole concept is wrapped up as such a nice package that’s it’s hard not to like it — that is, if you can look past the first generation jitters. The platform isn’t particularly ready for general consumption just yet as it seems it fell victim Google’s “release early, release often” mantra. But it’s only going to get better with each release."
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
TNS - NCSoft CEO admitted that AI is rapidly becoming a core part of game development, but he added that it cannot replace what makes games fun.
To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.
Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.
It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.

im hoping that Google TV can be supported by every Cable/Satilite company across the world. instead of the OS' that come shipped in with every cable/satilite box, its google TV taking its place instead.
from there, google tv should start real interactions with tv shows/game shows, that would be amazing.
just imagine the PS3 fully replacing the cable/satilite box in your home because of google tv working thru your cable/satilite provider. sure, theres torne and play tv, but google tv would absolutely kill.
A single home-run if it comes in the form of an add-on box that's cheaper than a standalone since people will have to choose to get get.
A bases full home-run if its a software app. Gets dropped into homes that already have PS3s and turns the console into the flagship platform.
The Networks blocking every thing. Nothing seems to piss me off more then that. Heaven forbid for you to watch some half decent show on your tv through the use of the internet. Despite you still see Ads, its still not enough for the networks.
I know Boxee Box just came out yesterday and its received high praise but I wonder just how long before every network out there blocks it too.
