If true and not the "full" MGO to be included w/ MGS4, this is a terrible move on Konami's part. I can understand DLC and I can understand a separate SKU for MGO as a standalone (Hell, I've always thought MGO would be released on the 360 anyway if popular). But to tantalize us TPS fans w/ a partial online game that we need to buy a full game at a later date seems very cheesy and I guess nothing new on Konami's part (a la MGS2 demo bundled w/ ZOE to procure inflated sales of a new I...
Huh? Now that all 3 consoles have been available for close to 2 years now, why do we STILL see it in games? It is the most annoying issue for me in video games. Like the above poster, this is a weekend rental and maybe a bargain bin purchase down the road - but they lost $60 from this sci-fi/horror enthusiast.
in its design yet compete w/ today's games of graphical splendor. As a huge Dali and Escher fan, I am immediately hooked by its premise and "look". The idea of using optical illusions to solve many of the game's levels also reminds me of a modern-day Tetris (i.e. using your brain power). If Sony can manage to successfully market Echo as the adult equivalent of them "brain" games that sell so well, this could be a huge franchise for both the PSN and PSP.
NCAA has always been treated by EA as the red-headed stepchild of the franchises. They usually cram last year's Madden engine with a couple of minor tweaks into this year's build. WOW, I CAN SEE VEINS IN THEIR ARMS NOW. Holy smokes batman. So let me see. They're now just attaining graphics that EA Chicago achieved w/ Tiger07 and especially Fight Night Rd 3 at launch!! Humor me again EA, why the hell did you fire EA Chicago? Oh, that's right, you wanted to let your best in-house PS3 devs work...
Your entire country's population and square area could probably fit in Ohio. Look at every industrialized, SMALL country and you'll see roughly the same. Japan, Korea, and even Austraila (much larger but still overall a regionalized population) all boast superior speeds to most Americans. That's over 3000 square miles and Americans are slow to change. Plus we not only have to rewire vertically across the US but horizontally as well. A sixty story skyscraper could take over a year by itself i...
A math game is in the top 10
sad, just sad.
more hyped titles but I'm looking forward to 2 post-apoclyptic themed games - Fallout3 and Borderlands. After recently spending another 265 hours in Tamriel and Shivering Isle, this game can't arrive soon enough.
I'll rent this over a weekend for sh1ts and giggles but I agree - the weapons like the cerebral bore made the original games fun. These guns are beyond bland. And to make matters worse, you can't kill indiscriminately with the knife - it's all an R2 cutscene or nothing. Yeah, brilliant. I sure hope the dev who thought of taking a FPS, centered on revenge and killing both human/dino prey, and gimping the central gameplay mechanic so horrendously isn't still receiving a paycheck.
As an American gamer we all don't live and die by the FPS. Yes, I do own COD4, UT3, and OB - but those are 3 quality titles (and UT3 has an excellent 3PP patch). But I also own several non-FPS games and naturally prefer the 3PP over FPS. And it just wasn't Americans who bought Halo. AND if we check the numbers, it's suprising how many copies of COD4 sold in the EU (on PS3) vs. American sales of (PS3) COD4. I wonder about Resisitance now too. Seems US gamers aint the only ones who buy FPS.
wow - 36 posts and no "mine's better than yours" argument. It's also sad though that we need one of these 9/11 salvos to unite gamers. But back on topic, is it any suprise that the media took a pot shot at gaming? The irony here is they could've had a better example a few years ago in Fear Effect. And you notice how after he quickly and efficiently counter-pointed the psych's jibberish, he got less and less face time and had to interject his closing comments over theirs? Funny stuf...
DD wouldn't be a viable solution til at least the ps5 or xbox1080 era due to NA's infrastructure being woefully inadequate and a couple of other factors. Well, one of those "other factors" was actually made publicly known now. I, too, work for TWC and heard rumblings from higher-ups and trade mags about this possible trial. I'm just suprised they chose such a small test area. But a greedy company wanting bigger profits doesn't.
For those of you who have had TWC for a few y...
And look for the baby seal clubbing game - easier marks than these damn slippery, blue whales. Oh wait, you mean I can combo baby whales?...hmmn
All early adopters of electronics know the inherent chance they take when buying something new, especially a format or codec. Should I have sued Beta, or Laser Discs? Or something more recent like Sega and the Dreamcast? No. Using DC as an example, I knew the following:
a) PS2 was releasing next year
b) Sega's spotty reputation as a hardware manufacturer
c) EA not supporting the system
I chose to support it anyway. I got burned (I still miss my DC). Same thing appl...
This is a great, but strategy-filled leisure game. After playing FPS, sports, and beat-em-ups for hours endlessly online, it's nice to be able to use the john, grab a beverage, hell even smoke and it not hinder the game experience. As a bonus, it'll be nice to to buy booster packs again and get new cards (I have 106 so far - damn that biolith hero and the phantom cards).
Epic just sold 3 more copies of ut3 after showing my FPS hating friends the 3PP mutater, err I mean the Action Cam. 14k kills later on CoD4 and I'm completely bored with it (blasphemy I know). Ty Epic and home-brewers everywhere - for bringing mods to the console crowd. Finally, a console FPS with some serious legs.
Your avatar looks like her new squeeze.
How can you be boycotting a company when you're eagerly awaiting a demo of a game they publish? If you and MK Red are so quick to dismiss EA, then perhaps you should also avoid BP. Seems to me you both want your cake and eat it too. Should I boycott Capcom also? As a loyal Playstation owner, maybe you could enlighten me on the proper procedures and rules in place - just so I know.
The American infrastructure is woefully inadequate. I work for TWC, and we aren't completely upgrading to fiber til NEXT year. I live in a city with just a 125,000 ppl and it's going to take over a year. We were told a city like NYC will take over a decade to upgrade. You'd be suprised how many times I walked into a house wired with old RG59 dual drop wire. Funny thing is, RG60 cable has been the industry standard for over 15 years now. And gee, the consumer can't figure out why their HD an...
err, we salute you that is.
j/k man, I'm bored and drank too much coffee this morning.
