Seriously, Eminem? This just made me hate Treyarc a little more.
It is okay to do a re-release of a classic game for a new console. The idea is not to remake the game but just re-release it for a cheap price so people who don't have the old console can still enjoy the classics. RE5 however was just terrible in the way the game was designed. I was turned off in about 10 seconds after trying to use the stupid control system. It should have been corrected in the first major update they did but instead they obviously didn't make the game flexible e...
Last time I saw the numbers Xbox 360 was over 45 million not 41. Who really cares who outsells who anyway? The thing that matters is which console is selling the games, online membership, and DLC. That is where the money is at. I would love to see the stats on how many of those PS3 owners use it soley for Blu-ray and not for gaming.
Can't game companies impose a stiff fine on stores which break the street date of any title? I'm sure there is some retailer agreement thing each store has to sign before being able to sell the title. Just add a clause in there for a multi million dollar fine and no company would dare break street date. What is the point anyway, it's just a game and everyone will have beaten it within hours of its actual release.
I have no desire to spend 1200 point for 3 maps when they plan to release a new game every year. They will never be able to compete with a content model like Halo which offers forge, downloadable user maps, films, and game variants.
Everyone is complaining about false advertising. In actuallity they are not lying. The game is free but the tables cost money. If you own the original Pinball FX all your tables transfer for free. Everyone has know that this was going to be the model for this game for months so no one should be suprised. I agree it is a dumb model but it is a semi-lame game anyway.
I haven't seen any big jackpots since the update. All I see is the challenge points going down which does not help. I have already seen General Grade 2 rankings so people are obviously still boosting and glitching. I would much rather Bungie fix the lag issues which have been rampent since the free maps were added.
From what I hear they were lining up last night with their tents so chances are there is already 3000 people there. Too bad Toys R Us is not doing this at all their stores or I would have pre-ordered and possibly gone.
I think they owe big team battle fans a few maps. They installed 3 new user designed maps, most of which are small, close quarters combat maps. The big team users are stuck with 3 actual big maps and the occasional craziness of Boardwalk with 16 players. I will definately be purchasing the maps because unlike some I also have friends who enjoy more people to kill!
This is over a week old. The real news is that the game is only available to purchase as a disc. As far as I can see there is NO downloadable versions of these games in the XBLA. I played each game on the Wii version and I am glad I did. Only Yahtzee Hands-down, Life, and maybe Mouse trap are worth money. Cluedo is a cheap offshoot of the original Clue game and Twister was just a joke.
No one is going to shell out $280 for a Madcatz guitar. You can get a quality Ibanez or Gibson for around that much and it is REAL. This is still a modified MIDI guitar meant for the game and Xbox. They should have ditched this idea and create a way to interpret a real guitar signal to notes. I would not mind installing a MIDI pickup in one of my guitars in order to output signals for the game.
Thats just dumb. Xbox is the fastest growing console and is still the #1 played console. There is no other that competes in quality gaming library and online services. The only thing keeping Wii alive is Mario, Zelda, and a few other exclusives as well as the ease of softmodding. The games are terrible and there little to no online experience. PS3 is hanging in there but the new Move is a desparate move to copy Wii and try to gain the motion population. I think the Wii controller is one...
The problem with these XP events are that once you get past level 60 the XP is so ridiculously high that even at 30x the normal rate it takes forever to level up. 30x should be the normal and all events should be like 50x or very few people will ever make it to 100. The other problem is the release of BlackOps. Granted by Nov. 19 people could hate the game and be ready for some change or be so addicted to Halo and COD that no one cares about GoW. We shall see.
The rules say you must be a resident of the 50 US states and D.C. or a US Military Base. Theonly problem with creating free account to get free codes is that you only need 27 fake accounts since you can only play 6 codes per day. I wonder how they guarantee a winner every 15 minutes or if these are just entries into a pool and X number of winners are drawn which equates down to 1 every 15 minutes. They don't really give much details or a winners list to confirm.
Microsoft has made some great games with RARE since the purchase. Perfect Dark Zero and Viva Pinata were both great games. Granted they haven't churned out many games but why would they when they had Bungie and other big companies giving them the best titles out there. The thing I do not get is that the majority of RARE's best games were for NES, SNES, and N64. Since Microsoft bought them, do they not own the right to re-release those games for the XBLA? They should create a RARE...
Why is this "standing up for"? Being able to mute your mic is everyones right. I personally would like to see a controller with a built in mic so we don't need to put one on our heads. Then add a button on the controller to mute.
While he is reviewing this as if Microsoft was trying to create a mobile gaming device, he misses a few items. He mentions that it requires a two year lock but forgets to mention so does the iPhone since they are both PHONES and not gaming systems. The biggest thing to take aways from this article is the price points. If Bejeweled is $4.99 on one and $0.99 on another it is an obvious choice. Granted there are thousands of Bejeweled versions so that could be a driving factor plus XBL integ...
Just clicking on My Xbox gave a nice error though, "Uh oh... that shouldn't have happened.It appears you've found a glitch in the system.
Sorry. We were, uh... a little bit distracted playing Halo: Reach. We will work on fixing this right away."
The site idea is great but they didn't check their links. Try going to just xbox.com and you get a Access Denied directory listing error.
This is why they have campaign and zombies. It is like a glitch grace period. Apparently Infinity Ward did not share the known glitches with Treyarc so they could prepare for them. Fail
