So how's it been playing Alan Wake and Too Human? Enjoy Ninja Gaiden 2, it's just like playing Ninja Gaiden only now you have to worry about your console breaking.
Fine by me. I actually trust Insomniac and the decisions they make. 30fps? If it is as solid as RFOM and looks half as good as the screenshots, I'd be happy.
My point is unchanged. Japanese devs are not going to take some great pilgrimage to Microsoft. The suggestion alone is insane and full of fanboy wishful thinking. Don't mix the PR "I've got a game to sell" speak out of Itagaki with some desire of employment. Games, regardless of Western or Eastern development do not explode in Japan, on the 360. So Itagaki is all of a sudden going to move to Redmond? He wants his games to succeed and no longer has Ninja Gaiden of DOA at his disposal...
This is very easy Bladestar so try and keep up. BOTH of Mistwalker's high profile, "win over the Japanese market" titles have flopped. Across all regions. From review scores to sales, open your eyes and look. Being Japanese (in Japan) and making 360 games is like being a black Klansman. It just doesn't work.
Now, when you are at a point in life where you aren't using daddy's computer, or playing your 360 on daddy's TV, or living in mommy and daddy's house, you'll see t...
This feels like an exercise in willful mediocrity. Will the Ross and Rachel get back together? Will Microsoft Offer Itagaki Exclusive Deal? Will anyone give a damn?
Itagaki is a lot of things, but an idiot he's not. Publicly praising the system you're peddling your warez on is not uncommon, nor unexpected. I'm sure he is aware of the career suicide joining up with MS would cause (ask Hironobu Sakaguchi).
I've played it. The first 3 levels and I will say the game is a disappointment. It is cool that you can cut of limbs and perform "finishing" moves, but after the 20th time of seeing the same kill, it wears on you. Looks good, but not what I had hoped from "the most powerful" console. One good thing came out of it...a 360 Elite RROD'd. Yes, it made me smile.
Similar to Halo 3, MGS4 is going to be hated on simple because of what it is and what millions of people expect it to be. If they thought it was an 8, after knowingly playing an inferior build, that's their decision. There are 2 constants in this life, Cohen Bros. movies and Kojima games.
It does get old, but that's when you decide to fully review it or move on to the next game. Calling this a review is a stretch. That said, the reviews for NG2 have been pretty meh.
Look at where PSN was at launch to now. And it remains free. There's a lot of great things coming and it is nice to see them actually coming to fruition.
Fable was an "ok" action RPG. It really was. It's not even memorable. Hopefully Fable 2 will be an evolution, but to me it looks pretty much the same, co op or not.

We're 6 months into the year. It's a little early to be putting out a "Champions" list, IMO.
"I'm sure it'll be an amazing game..."
Soooo what's the problem?

Bubbles! That was awesome.
Maybe it's part of the deal he made with Tecmo after the sexual harassment case against him?

Don't have Rare develop it.
Alan Wait...I was interested, but outta sight, outta mind.
But why would they want to eliminate the need of one of their own products?
Don't forget you need Media Center to use it.
So what happens to the video marketplace?
