If true this will be a huge load to bare tomorrow. The Neo-Geo stuff is a given on my end.
Edit:
I still need to pick up Warrior Within from last week. I want to get MAG too. I gotta get a bigger HD, man. I've got a 500gb in there now and I'm down to 290gb. I can see, by this time next year I'll have no space left.
My standards in gaming aren't too high, like some of you all. I love games that score 5.5 and 6.0's more often than not. Bionic Commando is one of my favorite games this gen. It got low, low scores and was touted as being average. It is anything but.
I will buy this game and love it I'm sure.
Some highlights of the review in question, if you please --
"The story's cool and told through some funny cutscenes"
Bring on the retro's, man! I want an HD version of Double Dragon on the PSN. I wish I could get a compilation of it to be honest. I'd love to see a fully rendered 3-d remake of it, akin to the GBA version but still have the option to play the arcade perfect motherboard port too. Slow down and all. X-men is alright, I loved my play time with it but I still long for my Double Dragon!
Of course it doesn't.
The biggest gaming demograph are 10 to 25 year olds. These people do not invest in stocks. They do not do their own shopping. They tend to still live at home with their parents or in dorm rooms and rarely have full time jobs at their age.
They do not buy products. They buy games to pass the time while at home from school or while in college. In game advertising has a window but not on hardcore gaming. Only casual games would se...
I smell a PS3 port coming soon. They changed the name, they revamped some engine stuff and ironed out some bugs. Big enough to rebrand the IP and get away from exclusivity. And putting it on the PSN would allow for and extra 44 million users to have the chance to buy it. That's nearly 90 million possible sales.
Yes, this game will be on the PSN before the end of the year.
BAM!
I'm in. I've been waiting for this to happen for so long now. I am all in on full game downloads for PS3.
I think, personally, it is beyond useless. I've never seen something so hit and miss in all my life. It doesn't work. It just doesn't. I think the most telling thing here is just how many are being returned in America, Japan and Europe. We are only getting how many are sold -- Never do we hear the horror stories of how many are being returned due to lack of space and it's a lot. Make no mistake about this.
I loved the game. It has a sharp vibe that hankers back to childhood in the 80's and Saturday morning cartoons for me. It's a light hearted whodunit and it is heavily grounded in the same genre as Dragon's Lair and Space Ace to a degree. Well, in it that you don't actually control any one set character through anything more than commands.
The game is good. Move support will probably add little to the game, but it's free and that's sharp. I encou...
Is it me, maybe it is, but the xbox 360's version seems to have way more dynamic lighting effects going on than the Ps3 counter part? The PS3 version supports better cutscenes, more sharp and detailed, but the gameplay, the actual in game stuff, seemed to look more realistic on the xbox 360 to me. I dunno, I'll have to DL the demo to see for myself what is and isn't. But right now it looks like the xbox 360 version has a more vibrant lighting engine to me.
The beat'um up genre is one of my personal favorites. They're short, they're shallow and they cut right to the chase. For 10 bucks this game is a technical steal. Imagine owning the cabinet coin-op. Wrap your head around what it cost.
While X-men isn't my favorite of the genre, Double Dragon owns that crown, it is well worth the buy to relive the glory days a few times here and there. To play this online with 5 other players is also a damn good nostalgi...
My biggest complaint about this one is that you are seemingly never out of the city. I loved how we were supposed to be in the hospital, yet we had to be on the outskirts of town, which looked just like the town, then the parking lot and then the entrance -- Everything in this game looked the same. There were a few really good moments, like the park and the building roof top but they were few and far between as everything in between looked the exact same.
With that said, I s...
Are you people blind by choice? If this game were to be released as even freeware on a free gaming website you all would hate it. If it were released as a PSN mini you'd hate it. If it were released as a PSN game you'd hate it.
It'd be panned and it'd be deemed terrible. All of these minigames built inside LBP are of the same quality too. They lack depth. They lack anything fundamentally sound and are all void of holding your attention. Ask yourself, if...
Gotta do something when you lose your relevance.
Ask Kid Rock -- He's been a rapper, a rocker, a southern rocker, a country artist and he's never been good at any of them. Reminds me a lot like Lara and this abysmal series really.
I think the sites new slogan should be
"VGchartz: These numbers are sales we hope get reached"
Every week I see these numbers and then we get new numbers that debunk old numbers. None of them are ever correct it seems. I think the only people who really know how much are sold is Sony, Microsoft And Nintendo. I don't even think retail outlets know off hand how many are sold and not sold without extensive chart tracking. Chart tracking that ...
I got Demon's Souls and 3-d Dot Hero a few weeks back for like 8 bucks together. Brand new. I had some Amazon Credit laying around and dove in. I've yet to play either past 10 min a pop. I just don't game, which sucks because I wish I was a kid again and could enjoy them like I did then.
Crazy how good games are these days and how little they retain my attention.
With all we know now and all we haven't been told just yet, I'm inclined to agree. Unless Microsoft or Nintendo has a backlog of stuff they've been holding up their sleeves.
I simply cannot wrap my head around all the content, let alone time it's going to take to play, Sony has next year.
Is that a bad thing? Is it a bad thing that Sony has a system so capable and so flexable? Is it a bad thing that the average consumer wants to do more than just "GAME"?
This is why the media needs a muzzle. They plant seeds that hurt the industry.
I mean, how about this headline -- "More than 13 hours a day are spent away from your home"
It's stupid. It makes no sense. So, now, because I spend more than 13 hours aw...
The game is alright but it's strange at the same time. I bought it, wanted to at full price but held off for GT5, and now that I did I wish I kind of didn't. I say this because I don't think I'm going to be investing much of my time into it.
Some aspects look better than GT5's, if you can believe that. But the game falls lifelessly flat. And bad. It just doesn't pop or have much going for it. It's a very barebones experiences and for 10 bucks...
NaughtyDog, always has been too, the one developer who I don't have to keep checking up on their work and progress to remain interested in their next offering. They're just that capable and that important to the industry. I didn't even have to see anything but the Uncharted 3 logo and I'd have been happy. I know this franchise was created by the best developers in the industry and that there isn't going to be any guilt when buying this game day one.
If...
It really doesn't matter at this point. The script resembles nothing, believe me when I say this, NOTHING of the game at all. There is one bit, maybe a 10 min scene set in the jungle and that is it. It's near the start of the film, and while Hollywood is notorious for paying A to write the script and then paying B to rewrite the script and then C,D,E to re-re-rewrite the script -- As of right now, it's not looking good.
So, I ask you all this -- If the movie it...
