Do you have the new Hori SCV model? If so have you ever taken it apart? Do they still glue all their connectors together or is that a thing of the past? I haven't purchased a newer model Hori in a few years. That was my biggest gripe about them because I like to swap out buttons, sticks and change the art work. The two I own were such a PITA I just let them be. One has Seimitsu parts. I go back and forth between the two.

Edit: just googled the Hori SCV stick. That is a s...

I usually prefer Madcatz over Hori. They use the same parts ( sanwa denshi) and are easier to mod / alter. Hori uses hot glue to all their connectors and are a PITA to swap parts out on.

Besides, I prefer the Madcatz cabinets and the start and back/ select buttons not being near the action / input buttons.

BTW no wired stick I have used this generation had input lag. Maybe the cheap wireless ones might have had some but I didnt buy it so I wouldnt know for s...

Great price but too small a display.
32" would've been the sweet spot.

Good review.
Well written and explained.

Articles like this are so ridiculous. Why do sites that know nothing about gaming write such drivel? Besides the obvious reason, hits. Games on the iPad are barely as good as shovel ware on handhelds. Seriously, stop already.

This is what the industry has evolved into. Kind of sad but it's here to stay. Release a game, create DLC (sometimes side by side with the creation of the title before it's released), release the DLC over the course of several months or year. Once the DLC has hit it's saturation density? Release the complete (title it what ever the publisher choose) edition and cash in on it all over again.

It's turning a lot of older gamers off but there are not enough of us ...

My slims disc drive makes noise if I don't install the games. Not on all games but Fable, Skyrim and MW3 it does. I usually end up installing every game though. Sometimes I'm just inpatient and play them when I first get them and install once I know Im gonna take a break for 20 minutes to do something. Once installed it's whisper quiet.

I think I am going to trade in a few of my older units to get matching slims for my triple panel Forza setup. Having one sexy ne...

It's anything but desperate. It's actually smart business if you think about it. So many reasons why this is a good move. Market saturation, get a shiny new console, buy some more games to go with it, MS is turning a decent profit off of the systems now, MS wins, gamers win, market grows, etc and so on.

Desperation from them? No.
You? ..... well I think we know the answer to that

LogicWins
CODs main draw is accessibility and ease of use. It's a fast twitch, get in, get out quick experience that is extremely easy to play. It caters to all gamers (casual, mainstream and hardcore alike) because of it. Although most hardcore gamers, and some mainstream, tire easy (a few weeks to a month or so) and move on to other games.

On topic:
Most games fall in the 6 to 8 hour range for full MSRP regardless of multiplayer or not. This is a $40 ti...

This : "They are all calculated behind the scenes with no visual indicator to show you when your points have run out. So without serious study you'll find your combos drop for no reason."

^That is anything but a fact. FACT is you can almost perform unlimited juggles if you have the skills, know how and timing to pull them off. Combos drop off for no reason to people that are actually NOT putting a little serious effort into their training. So don't go on as ...

How DARE you say you like a game! Don't you know where you are man? WTF is the matter with you? You're not allowed to voice your opinion on this site ever again. Now go away! I said NOW!

Unreal. All the guy does is say he is enjoying a game and excited for new content and the haters come a hating. Pathetic. Go back to enjoying your game hennessey and let the trolls and haters get back to doing what they do best, nothing but wasting bandwidth and pretending they matte...

The wheel is a 6 in my book and that is being kind.
Way over priced, cheap plastic POS, much better wheels on the market that have better FFB, resolution, response, much higher quality products in the same price range.

No way should this should rate 9.
Author obviously lack experience.
Build quality a 10? It's plastic crap.

Sigh, this is why anyone with bandwidth screams not a critic make. This wheel is a considered a joke in sim...

I don't think it has as much to do with age but more of the generation in which you were born. In my parents time racism and homosexual lifestyle was less acceptable than my generation. This author is a generation after me.

In my grandparents day they were hanging African Americans in the city square (they lived in the southern states of America) for the least little thing they did wrong. In my great grand parents day, well I'm sure you can figure how much worse it wa...

And people not filled with hate can choose not to be disgusted by you (gillri) but we can easily choose to ignore your ignorance.

I honestly, N4G mongrels and all aside, can't believe I nearly have as many disagrees as agrees. Come on guys. I know this is fanboy / ignorance paradise but this place is "suppose" to be news4gamers. With that said how can you disagree with what I wrote, seriously?

MS is seriously hurting for core games. Is this "honestly" the direction you want the gaming industry to go? If so, this place, and the industry, is doomed. Grabs your wallets and bend over...

I was going to go with something like this when I put my setup together a couple months ago but I prefer the illumination, razor sharp detail and vibrancy of back lit displays vs projectors. I have a top of the line 1080p projector in my basement theater and it doesn't compare to my Samsung D8000 LED's. My projector is slightly faster for gaming but not for dynamic lighting, vibrancy, illumination and fine details.

I do love how the projector completely eliminates the...

Microsoft is NOT bowling over anyone with Halo 4 and a co produced game with Forza in the "working title". For all we know the other dev might do the majority of the work with Turn 10 over seeing the project

Has anyone seen Dirt Showdown? It's not Dirt. It's a spin off game with over the top arcade action, but at least it's being made by the creators of Dirt. We know nothing about "Forza" Horizon.

Also let's not forget that...

As long as it's a full blown "wheel supported" game, I'm all in. Arcade or other wise, doesn't matter, as long as it has wheel support.

What is with all the hate surrounding this title? I mean pound disagree until your finger bleeds but can someone explain this to me? Every article speaking positively about this title and N4G members posting positive responses are getting more disagrees than agrees. Why is that?

I mean I'm not stupid. I know it's because how far Capcom (hell my nickname for them is cashcom) is milking DLC and them bringing new iterations of the same title yearly BUT how does that diff...

Dang SFxTekken is getting pretty good ratings by nearly all outlets. I'm starting to actually get excited for this game. I might pick it up at midnight tonight instead of waiting till morning.
