Anyone know when NPD is coming out?

I wonder if journalists should be honest with themselves and give out proper scores to games. It seems as that they only become neutral when the condition is right and give out ridiculous bias to be fair, without realizing that this can potentially hurt their readership.

It's almost as if they've become as biased and opinionated as those "gaming" blog sites, and is very lacking of professionalism. I would say they're slowly becoming less commendable and credible, and...

Not disagreeing with you Soda, but I don't think "optimized for the harddrive" is the right word, since you can practically load any game onto the 360 drive. Heck, I loaded Fable 2 and PGR4 onto my drive but I wouldn't say the game was "optimized" for it.

But seriously though, the load isn't even that bad. It's definitely not insane at all. I'm getting only 1-2 second loads and not really any stutter at all.

It's a fine game and I think it'...

Don't notice much about load times here. Played it on Win7 and also playing it on the PS3. Definitely not "insane" like the head line suggests.

you're right. even matte black looks really good.

KZ2 wasn't successful at all. Just look at the name! As a typical consumer, I wouldn't want my kids playing a game that has the name KILL ZONE, let alone see the horror of my love ones staring at me for playing a game that emphasizes on KILL ZONE.

The word KILL is enough to make Average Jane steer clear away from it. It's definitely not a great jingle.

GG should just abandon that name and think of something else. At least Insomniac hit it with Resistance. Re...

I hope this David Cage doesn't turn into that other guy *Cough* nariko * cough cough*.

He's praising the PS3 now and saying it's not possible without the Cell, Bluray, bbq, batman, twinkies ...

but that's also what the other guy said too.

And what happened to him when the game met abysmal sales? He turned tail and said "Hey guys let's do some multiplats." I'm sure that guy was banking on the PlayStation name to help sell his game, instead o...

Hmm... definitely strange. Comments and hits to this article yet still 20 degrees. This reminds me of other positive PS3-related articles that never hit higher than a few degrees.

Premium with all those features? Too pricey! They should scrap this $349 250gb sku and ...

320 gb, N wifi, SD card reader, 3 USB, piano finish = $399.

I think 320 is the sweet spot.

oddly enough, my local gamestop has advertisements for the 250gb system for $299. I wonder if they notice their error or if it's just a local gamestop thing.

Both of em have frame rate problems, hiccups, as well as glitches. Just that one has better textures and another has smoother frame rates.

I've been playing the PC version for the past few days now and even that has hiccups and glitches.

I don't mean to sound like a fanboy and I know the advantages of 360 game installation, but since when was it a preference for 360 gamers to desire a want for installing their games into the hard drive? I thought it was always ridiculous hearing how PS3 owners have to cope with 2GB installs or 5GB installs, but suddenly it's the coolest thing to install a game onto the 360 and have whisper-quiet gaming? And suddenly, it's okay to say the 360 would have the upper hand if the game was insta...

holy crap. it's the new game @ n4g- Spam of Duty: Spamming Warfare 2.

Edit: aww mods deleted it already. it was interesting while it lasted.

the PC version had isometric when i zoomed out, though I found myself using the behind-character view more. I found no need to individually control each party member like i did in BG, NWN, or IWD since the AI setup for DAO was pretty good. You can customize their AI pretty well, it's kinda like the Gambit stuff in FF12.

Life in a nutshell for Sony at the office of Video Games Inc.

Coworker: "Hey! How's your day?"
Sony: "Same ol' same ol'. Working hard as always."
Coworker: "Oh yea? Got anything interesting going on?"
Sony: "yea, I made a really impressive work flow for the company. I think it'll really revamp the work coming out of the company."
Coworker: "Cool. That sounds great man. Maybe you'll get a promotion." <...

yep same here. got meself two 1.5 tbs for $115 USD each last month or two at Fry's to put on my NAS. it's been media serving heaven since. Seagates as well. I dont' think they're $115 all the time, since Fry's has a habit of temporarily lowering retail prices on things.

well this game is pretty good, and DS is pretty good too. If i have to rate it, I'd give DS a 90 and DAO a 82%. I was really hoping for DAO to be a complete spiritual successor to BG, but it's really not. It's more of a streamlined bioware rpg for the modern day console D&D geek with flashy bloom.

I think there's multiplayer but I haven't checked it out. And I'm not sure if the console versions have multiplayer, but it it doesn't, it definitely gets that 82%. Multiplay...

It's a really fun game but that's because i've been a fan of bioware's work since baldur's gate 1. So this is a good refresh in my opinion. It's too bad I can't play it on max settings on my PC so I'm picking up the console version. I'm not sure what's so different about the console version other than radial controls, but the interface feels like typical bg/iwd fare and the gameplay is similar to that respect.

The camera angle is neat that zooming back pans the camera to a &q...
