Absolutely I would much rather have a persistent score that easily shows my achievements with visual "trophiesque" icons that sit right under my name for all see all the time. Rather than to need to be invited back to your virtual pad to see what you have done. Everyone on LIVE can see my achievements whether I know them or not. Besides how many unseen points do you think it will take to get a trophy to show off? Don't you think @Home will get old after sometime sounds like their pu...
...my fellow commentator, of course you can! I'm sorry I just figured everyone knew about XBOX LIVE, This is a persistent environment that allows anyone even across platform with PC to enjoy the ease of jumping into each others games, checking and comparing each others achievements(which every game has 1000pts to distribute), communicate with voice, or text across any game and PC. Many of the games even include video chat while playing games like C&C 3. Trailers(game and movie + others) a...
..anyone on the 360 that wants a glimpse of running around together and speaking through iconic gesture and bubble talk only need to download the free demo for Phantasy Star Universe. There you will find giant futuristic lobbies and games to play with one another in basically the same fashion as @Home has shown in their videos. I tried it when it first came out last year and got bored after an hour, but those that are lonely may want to give it a whirl. Enjoy
....lets all go over to Phil's imaginary apartment and watch Spider Man 3 on a 2" virtual television while we all sip imaginary coktails. Don't worry about the kids hunny because Phil's virtual daughter will be babysitting our virtual kids in the virtual room next door. See, there is something for all of us to do @ Home. Wow, they want to turn the entire Playstation fan base into addicted MMO Players. Sony's Evercrack, I mean Everquest and now this. I guess if you can't draw them in with...
That was awesome!! Made my morning bright and smiley :)
...to give a good review because the title is such a departure from the originally named intellectual pen and paper property that has been enjoyed by geeks since the 80's. The game play is extremely fun and addictive and requires complete team work, to review this poorly shows a strong bias nature by the reviewing sites. The learning curve is about an hour for a full understanding of all mechanics. This will also hurt the review as these guys probably never fully learned how to play and only ...
Not that people want to hear others opinions and reviews, but that they take it like it is the voice of God commanding that they listen and spread the word! Why should I be shocked, just take a look at this world and what were doing to it. Ignorance is BLISS!!
By the way God commanded me to spread the word that XBOX rules console gaming!!
...and no silly replier GOD doesn't equal Microsoft, silly! or does it hmmm? nope! to many broken consoles but they do have gr...
Obviously the games and selection are better on XBOX always have been. The only games that Sony ever had were games for BOTS like Socom(talk about systematic game play), Everquest(again BOTS game, grind,grind,grind), MGS (so over rated, I never liked any of them), GTA (oh ya we've got episodic DL on 360)and we can't forget...uumm...well. To move onto the smaller market you have Kingdom of Hearts and God Of WAR sequals possibly(oh ya they sent GOW2 straight to PS2, maybe they will port it to b...
...TWEAKER? These are company men that go into retail stores and adjust the settings on Video and Audio equipment to push sales towards the higher priced or contracted brands.
If you use retail sales personals opinions to judge your A/V purchases then I must say it is no wonder why you are in Sony's pocket(no offense).
Ignorance is the name of the game and your playing right into it. Please, Learn more about the equipment your purchasing and tweak them yourselves befor...
...find the link. this was the most updated list to show support for TrueHD sound on either HD format. Also HD-DVD has been using VC1 since the beginning and Blu-ray using Mpeg4 pt10.
BLU-RAY AUDIO/VIDEO
The Blu-ray specification mandates certain codec compatibilities for both hardware decoders (players) and the movie-software (content).
For video, all players are required to support ISO MPEG-2, H.264/AVC, and SMPTE VC-1. MPEG-2 video allows decoder ba...
or did Sweeney say that this game was built for the 360 and PC? Which again if I didn't misread would imply that the PS3 version will definitely be a port, but then again so many PS3 games of recent are.
Tim Sweeney: "The Gears of War experience on Xbox 360 taught us to optimize for multi-core, and to improve the low-level performance of the key engine systems. This has carried over very well to PC. The division of UE3's rendering and gameplay into separate threads, imple...
I know a die hard Ps2 owner that always rivaled my XBOX 5.1 talk with, if it were important it would be there. What a tool, he thinks because Sony didn't implement Dolby Digital in all their games that he didn't need it or that on some level I guess he didn't even understand it.
By the time he bought a 360 after his extreme disappointment in the PS3 it was to late, Sony had already dumbed him down with the Ps2. So my guess is that only those that have been exposed realize how i...
Marison update your article with Kotuko's official commment on it's error in quickly bashing the 360, and exposing themselves for the PS3 frauds they are. WEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
..is working flawlessly. Do you think Sony really thinks it's going to lose it's install base when it made comments from the beginning like:"we will sell 500k units without any games" or "we want people to work more hours to be able to purchase the PS3".
Think about it, they new with Microsoft's entry into the console world that it would be only a matter of time before they blended the seems between PC and console gaming. So, they went a different route and ...
I admit it is engaging to finally feel as though the sixaxis controller is justified, but I can't help to feel like this will have the same two week charm of the Battlefront titles. Although it will probably last a bit longer since their are no alternatives. When I first played Battlefront on the original XBOX I figured it as a console seller. Two weeks later all the weak points were standing out enough that I grew bored and moved on. I just hope this doesn't happen to Warhawk in it's demo st...
How old are some of you making these ridiculous comments of how "this can't help"? Bottom Line! If you saw the picture just once than you've helped!! Let it end there and stop exposing yourselves as heartless unloved and unlovable ingrates! To all the haters, love will find you when you uncover your eyes, pull your fingers out of your ears and remove that muzzle of a fist out of your mouth! Then take a big whiff of coffee or tea which ever it may be! Stop the cycle of hate!

Yes, this is a perfect place to interject such a tragic and rarely reported in this fashion article. When I go to buy groceries I walk by an entire wall of missing children, should I be upset? After all I am just here for some good eats and maybe some suds. In the 18 months I have been enjoying this sites input this is the first of these stories I've come across. This tells me it's one respected gamer on here using his clout to try do something special for this family. They wish everyone in t...
4.3- It's clear that taking strategic positioning is the way wars are won and Microsoft's Generals are clearly plotting. But to draw comparisons to any PS3 games is a stretch across a gap that I wouldn't want to cross. Warhawk's multiplayer is nothing more than a watered down cheap rip off of Star Wars Battlefront, which debuted on the original XBOX. Sony fans wouldn't know this as no Sony console as even delivered Battlefront successfully. Not just one gen but two behind. Poor Sony conquerin...
8.1 - Not news I'll agree with that but neither is half of the stuff reported repeatedly on here. Most don't mind if it favors their Fancamp but when something this fan positive surfaces the other side cries their eyes out. Pathetic double standards but I guess thats what makes the world go round at least for most. Again, news? NO! fun? YES! They are just expressing how much they love their favorite gaming console of all time, The XBOX 360!!!!
HD_DVD Rules the roost! The know crowd are aware of this as well as the average consumer. So, instead of paying any mind to the BLU-RAY propaganda, just head to the article page and E-Mail the crew over at Digital Bits(email address at bottom of article)and give them a piece of your Mind. I DID!! OoHH it Feels so good! Even the Hollywood Directors Guild know this!
P.S.- It's as simple as HD-DVD is consumer friendly. I have children with portable DVD players for the car and the...
