Shooters are just a dime a dozen, and I'll never understand the unnatural popularity of the genre in general or a few franchises in particular, like COD. As for specifics, I can't really comment as I've never laid hands on a COD title before.
Maybe they'll release an Uncharted 2 bundle here, you never know. NFS Shift in a bundle though? Odd choice...
MAG beta codes are raining from the sky! ;)
No PSP Go for me unless Sony personally brings one to my house and gives it to me.
I think you're right in that Sony has their numbers skewed. Are people who already have a PSP with UMD games going to trade it in for a PSP Go and make all their games worthless? I highly doubt it.
There was no way I was going to drop $40 on their glorified demo last year, but the full game should be worth it.
I'm a fan of GT, but I did pre-order Forza 3 simply because I heard good things about previous titles in the series and I got tired of waiting around for GT5. Seriously it been forever in development. The screens look awesome though.
Cool interview, although I'm definitely not the competative gaming type.
I don't play fighting games usually anyway, so I won't be buying either way. :)
I enjoy just about any GOOD cosplay. It doesn't hurt that the girls are hot, but that's not a requirement. ;)
Well, gotta watch the wording here. ;) I never said "don't expect innovation", in fact I said that I wasn't saying to NOT innovate. My point in the article was that it shouldn't be required to make or break a game, not that you shouldn't expect it at all.
"Of course, there has been some form of decline in the quality recently, but that's more because those developers are trying way to hard to appeal to the westerners."
So true, so true. They really need to stop trying to appeal to Westerners...those who are open-minded already liked the genre before all this Westernization started. ;)
So true, so true.
Hey, I shop at GameStop. >_> *hides*
Handegg...haha. I always wondered why American Football is even called football at all... *shrug* I'm not that into the sport myself, unless its a Super Bowl party with my friends. Although, I do keep up on LSU wins/losses as far as college football goes, but that's about it.
Go go gadget giveaway! Ok, that was lame. Halo 3:ODST is going to be one of the hottest games this fall, be nice to nab a copy for free, wouldn't it?
I loved the style of the game when I played the demo... Might have to try the full thing! ;)
I agree that WoW brings a lot of gamers into the MMO market, that definitely was never disputed. But competition does breed innovation, and, whether we should care about what game is on top or not, WoW has next to no competition.
Take player housing, for example. WoW devs have stated that it's on the back burner. If another MMO comes along that has that feature and gets millions of subscribers in the first couple years, you can bet Blizzard will make it a priority. Not that pla...
Yeah, my dad called every game system a "Nintendo" too, still does. ;) Its not playing games that's the problem, its too much gaming and parents not paying attention to the ESRB rating that's the problem.
If parents would learn to do their job by moderating and controlling the gaming habits of their children - not eliminating it, mind you, we (hopefully) wouldn't see people like President Obama keep trying to tell them to put it away.
I love the Kingdom Hearts games, but who knows when I'll get around to playing this one. Good to know it's a solid title though.
