ODST was a good game but one worth $60? Hard sell, worth $40? A must buy.
They need to bring it out on Games on Demand or what ever they call it, the game is getting some buzz (mostly due to podcasts like Rebel FM, 1UP, etc) and the only place to find it now is the used market, it isn't easy either.
You forgot to add "In my opinion" to the end of your sentence. ;)
I agree with all of those choices expect for Culdept Saga and Earth Defense Force since I haven't played them. Blue Dragon wasn't that over looked persay, but it didn't sell 2 million or anything like that but it did well enough to get sequels.
Viva Pinata is a great game, despite the childish outlook it might be a bit too advanced for most kid gamers. Earth Defense Force from what I'm he...
Well it's not exactly like Operation, I guess maybe a bit like Life and Death for anyone that remembers that game from back in the day
She's modeled after Yvonne Strahovski of Chuck fame,

Bungie West was shut down after Oni IIRC.
Fans must really feel betrayed, first the removal of LAN play (which has been a major feature in RTS's for quite some time now) and now this "isolation" feature. Albeit this is a bit more justified than the LAN and there is the possiblity that they will open up the game later.
Looking at screens of the title, it kind of reminds me a bit of the old Hasbro "Operation" game for PC, only a bit more advanced.
ASSASSYN 36o: Japan invaded Russia during World War 2 and it forced the two nations to sign a treaty, when the European theater of WW2 came to a close Russia invaded the Pacific.

While I enjoy playing "reaslitic" looking video games I'm not clouded enough by it to completely shun out other games that don't look breath taking.
1024x768 isn't 720p persay, the official standard for 720p is 1280×720.
Some games simply upscale their output to 720p, 1080p, or what ever your TV is set at. I assume your "special program" is a setting on your TV? If that's the case it's not the native resolution but simply the resolution the TV is receiving.
You are putting far to much faith into the back of a game box, the fact is the resolution is 1024x768 on the technical side of things.
Only 8 player multiplayer? Surely they could have done better than that, a few PSP games do 16 player multiplayer with some even doing 32 IIRC.
The_real_killer: That doesn't make any sense, Shaman posted a link to a site where they analyzed and concluded various game resolutions yet you claim by not owning MGS4 Shaman can't tell you the game is below 720p? There are plenty of people here on N4G who are willing to defend "pixel counters", just look at all those Alan Wake articles from last week.
On topic: Great score for Alan Wake, definitely a day one buy for me.
You can add it to your list from xbox.com
Looks like it's UK only though. =/
Godmars290: Lied about what? Only the Community Manager came out and said 720p which isn't technically false, even here on N4G people were all "he never said native".
Before that, you can correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Remedy said anything about the resolution.
mau64: Depends on your budget, PSP's are pretty cheap now and their is already an amazing library of titles you can play on the system. If your budget is tight I'd wait to E3 just in case Sony announces a PSP 2, although if they do I expect it to launch in Japan first so it could be a ways away from NA/Europe.
Interplay is only suing because Bethesda tried to sue them first for the rights to what they have left of the Fallout franchise.
It's not fair to compare old Fallout to new, the main Fallout titles are nearly/over a decade old, people have more money to spend now and Fallout 3 was released on multiple platforms. Whose to say Interplay couldn't have done that had they made a Fallout game in 2008?
I personally didn't like Fallout 3 that much because I was comparing...
They're only an "empty shell" because they have almost no money left at this point, they still own all their IP's, brands, etc which puts them in a far better position. A lot of the ex talent is also centralized at places like Obsidian, a few have even returned to Interplay. It would be cool to see Brian Fargo return but I guess he's busy with inXile Entertainment or what ever his company is called.
Baldurs Gate, Mig Alley, you name it! Interplay has a ton of great franchises that need to be brought back, here's hoping they get back on their feet this year and bring the franchises back in style!
A new PSP isn't completly far fetched at all, the 2000 was announced at E3 07 IIRC and released that fall, the 3000 was announced at E3 2008 and released Fall 2008, the Go was announced E3 2009 and released that fall as well.
