but every single gaming podcast ive listened to since the unveil of Dance Central have sung this games praises as being a truly great experience while the rest of the kinect games are pretty poor. Plus its Harmonix and Harmonix are the kings of cool. Both Kinect and Move in my mind are like new platforms for developers to get a hold of and build games for and it seems that in the right hands both are capable of some great stuff, I just dont want to put the money down hoping something great wi...

I love Fable games but rating it as M is pretty outlandish when much more disturbing games such as Alan Wake get rated less.

EA probably felt the game wouldnt sell very well with the state of the market at the time and what was trending. Strange however that the game came back up after 8 years. I wonder if that was criterion or EA's doing

I think Home can be a great destination for lots of sweet content on Playstation but at this minute in time it feels like the world of home is a substitute for simply using a menu. Why would I rather Boot up home to then redownload spaces (if you aint a regular visitor) to be pushed into a long loading screen to then walk across a virtual warehouse themed around a game to then wait to play a mini game. I think home to succeed in the long run needs lots of polish to the experience and a lot cl...

Yeh im sure there will be a Halo 4 from 343 industries but I don't expect a Gears 4 of any kind. As for the belief that the Xbox will have no more exclusive hardcore games ever. I find that a little ignorant because I very much doubt Microsoft wont invest in more exclusive hardcore targeted games. Project Kingdoms is just one example of Microsoft paying for what could be the start of a new Xbox Hardcore franchise after Gears.

You are aware Microsoft Haven't released the List of all games ever to be released on Xbox. Fable 3 and Gears 3 are just the games coming in the immediate future. See the industry tends to work in a way for the most part where games are announced only a short time before they come to release.

This must be one of the improvements possible since they closed Sbos original online. I expect some more friends list related changes to come with this possibly Clan support in the friends list natively

Bungie seems to of finally created a Halo Combat evolved sequel worthy of the original. The others in the series are still top notch games but not on the same page as Halo:CE. Reach seems to be a real must buy for any Xbox owner, especially with all that content on one disc.

This article is a little shadey. Its hard to take the opinion of of a person who is working for a competing technology. He's hardly going to sing the technical praises of Kinect when he himself is trying to launch a competing product that has zero limelight. He could be completely honest in his remarks or he may just be trying to promote his product over Microsoft's. I'd go with the later.

It does make a lot of difference yes. There is no reason for EA or Dice to use the word Taliban. At the end of the day the Taliban are a terrorist organization that don't deserve to be acknowledged for what they do. Dice and EA gain nothing from the use of the word Taliban but what they do through using the Taliban as a playable force in the game is accepting and indirectly condoning their actions, even if that is not the intention. You may disagree entirely and be fully happy that a ter...

News on N4G is largely flamebait and opinion. N4G because it inst a real media outlet and rather is a HUB for a huge number of sites tends to be swamped with any (for lack of a better word) trash that can be found on the internet regarding games. Personally I come to N4G to find the news that sites like Joystiq and IGN miss by accident. My biggest frustration though is that only one in every ten articles on this site is truly news worthy and not a flamboyant opinion from an unknown media outl...

It's a very fine line with video games and I can fully understand the secretary's comments about this game even if they are slightly misinformed. Ultimately the mission in this game where you play as the Taliban will glorify the scenario where as the real world aspect of the conflict is much more serious. As a whole picture you have to look at this much more as art with the mission serving an important story purpose rather then glorifying the Taliban and killing friendly forces as a s...

A few month back we saw some "leaked" images of a slight new dashboard redesign. It was also glimpsed at E3 during the Kinect demo when using zune etc. the images that went round the web did have noticeably more realistic avatars. they still had a style to them like they do now but they appear to of got taller with longer arms. I liked the change so if they were a glimpse of a slight remodel Im pretty happy with it.

This stuff does turn us guys on. Its a challenge and even though the people in the end don't directly point out how nice the jacket effect is it does seriously add to the immersion of the game. If people did comment on how overly reactive the cloth is, it means they did a bad job of it as the gamer noticed the effect to an extent it took them out of the experience. Its all about creating realism but not letting the viewer know why it feels so realistic.

Spartan 2's were abducted as children and never got to see their parents. Spartan 3's were people who were left feeling vengant or were casualties of the war (lost their homes, familes etc). Reach follows a group of Spartan 3's so it is more than possible that he would be able to talk to his family in the fiction.

It looks pretty good but for what is meant to be a graphical monster im a little disappoint. Still if the story is good and its as fun to play as previews make out then ill pick it up.

I'm actually sickened by what i just saw in that video. Those soldiers are totally out of line and are completely unfounded in the way they are behaving. Its sickening and I hope they are properly reprimanded for this.
On another note this has little to do with video games and that aspect of the article is largely down to Fox news. However that doesn't make the footage any less incriminating.

There was no real doubt Master Chief would turn up. Its the last chance for bungie to give us a cinematic look at the chief in action not in first person. I just hope they dont break the cannon too much to put him in there and don't do somthing that might cheapen his character like showing his face. If he is in reach I hope they make sure he makes an impact on players that havent touched any other Halo games. It should feel to those gamers (for lack of a better analogy)seeing jesus and just g...

I don't think Alan Wake is recieving enough coverage for what ive seen of it. It looks like a break from the norm of this gen for me, somthing with atmosphere and horror without the rediculouse blood and guts thrown at me by most horror/thriller games. I just wish it was coming sooner as Bioshock 2 for me wasnt new or different enough to give the same rush and feel the first did. I think remedy are on the right tracks here and if the escapist preview was anything to go by its a defo buy.
