I want to see a different general design. I'd still like to see the "boomerang" reach the market. I used an Xbox controller that was similar (the Wideye if you want to find it), and it sat in my hands very comfortably. It would be a great addition to the controller collection.
@Kleptic: "but doesn't matter...no one makes servers that have them on anyway...exactly how it should be"
See, I take issue with the "how it should be". That's like saying, "We are used to Windows having Blue Screens of Death, and therefore shouldn't fix them."
Yikes, that's harsh, other-person-with-360-logo. I'm playing KZ2 right now and loving every minute, except for the situations fixed by this update. This is one awesome update, and you are in denial.
If you would stop hating for a second and play the game, you might like it too.
@Deathrow: Dude, you are just as uninformed as he is. The server does not send visual data or maps. The only things the server does is keep rough track of physics-imbued objects, player p...
You know the great thing about "High Precision" aiming? You don't have to turn it on if you don't want to.
And why shouldn't the aiming be easy and natural? Are you so afraid of noobs that you can't shoot them like everyone else? Why should there be a barrier to new players? Doesn't that mean more players? Do you really want to be a small fish in an increasingly empty pond... or do you want new players brought into the game? God, your logic is so flawed.

This is just... FAAAAAAAAABULOUS!
That wouldn't be journalism. That would be a list of the top 10 on metacritic....
We build our own out of hunks of metal and the arc reactor implanted in our chest.
Cause we would only be able to scuttle from side to side then.
Because these sites don't want to be drawn into the hyper inflated scores that come from not keeping your editorial dept and advertising dept separate.
Face it, scores these days are too high to mean anything anymore. Most scores need to be ratcheted down 10-20%.
I actually prefer a 5-star rating method. That way, 5 stars doesn't translate to 80-100%. It's more like 95-100%. It should have the net effect of dragging down undeserving games and boosting deserving g...
This looks much more Storm Trooper than Master Chief...
It's called an opinion. Most of us have them, and some of us have an original one from time to time.
I withheld judgement until I got my hands on the demo, and I'm glad. It's a game worth playing. But everyone else in the world is entitled to disagree with me. There is no prophesy that must be fulfilled. It's not pre-destined that Infamous will score high.
Crackdown characters didn't need to "gel". It was never about the characters. There is not one character worth caring about.
And why we need to care about a character is beyond me.
The gameplay was the foremost "character" in the game, and it was immensely deep and gratifying. I rent the game from time to time to grind through it in cheat mode.
In my mind, character development takes AWAY from gameplay. I just hope Infamous doesn'...
You can't say "everyone is entitled to their opinion" and in the same breath question their consistency. That's the nature of the beast. People are entitled to their opinion without question, unless it's a matter of factual error.
I know about business. Odds are I would run a more cutthroat company than you would.
Back on topic.
... or it's the writer's job to make a list about the top 10 games on each platform and to do so in a professional manner. I mean, give them a break. They even disclosed the MSN/Microsoft relationship on the front end, so even the acronym challenged would know this is an MS site.
I have no doubt if I walked up to Hyrb, Hirai, and Iwata and asked them to...
Microsoft says something nice about the competition and all you can do is ridicule them? What if Sony suddenly published their top games on the 360? Would you think that's a generous gesture, or would you call the same foul?
Your sarcasm is much appreciated.
Played the Infamous demo. My verdict is that it is worthy. I'll be getting it when it comes out.
At the same time, I think Prototype is more powertrippy and over the top, but I only have vids to go on.
So, which one is better? Niether. Who cares... they are both games that are probably worth playing, and that's my scale. Binary scores are better.
Edit: Shut yer trollin yap StephanieBBB. I got a PS3 explicitly to play the great games that are PS3 e...
This isn't government's job. This is the job of individuals to protect their families and themselves.
This father did the right thing, or what he felt like was the right thing. Unfortunately, that kid was already a mental case if he felt the need to commit suicide because he can't play games.
Why should the rest of society suffer because one nut reacted poorly? We pass medications that cause more death per capita than game addiction driven suicide. Why should 0.0...
Rare makes Perfect Dark Zero, a justifiably lousy game. Suddenly, Rare is the social pariah of the Microsoft first party?
Look at Viva Pinata. I don't expect the majority of the hardcore users on N4G to acknowledge it, but it was quite the hit with the Pokemon crowd. It was well crafted and obsessively nuanced. I watched my wife eat it up... along with the time I would have spent playing my 360 otherwise.
And though people like to snark that Avatars are ripping o...
