Age of Conan? You mean the MMO that has already shut down half its servers as people left in droves?
If the 360 is placing its bets on AoC to 'defend' it in an MMO battle then you'll have to pardon me if I fall over laughing.
Any movie can be great if you take the time and spend the money to do it right.
So now we've finally figured out that we're not actually going to be able to tear down KZ2 no matter how hard we try, we're back to the tried and true method of getting page hits to show our advertisers: PS3 Bashing.
To be honest I'm starting to wonder if this whole console generation hasn't been a failure and I'm starting to wish we had the PS2, XB and Gamecube back.
Translation of this article: It can't go multi because I said so and want to write an article for page hits that isn't actually gaming news.
Speaking as a person who doesn't play Halo and thinks they're highly over rated...
He's got that whole 'super cyborg soldier capable of defeating nearly endless numbers of enemies' thing going. I suppose he's not any more rough and ready than the nameless Doom marine or the guy from Wolfenstein 3D, but I'll give it to him anyway since he's in a popular game even if I don't care for said game.
Now Night Elves can look as silly on mechanostriders as Gnomes look on Frost Sabers...
Where as Blood Elves always look stupid no matter what.
Where exactly do we rank drug use in the 'Wouldn't Play It Regardless Of Content but Will Whine Anyway' scale?
Way the hell above violence it seems. I'm still trying to figure out how to calculate the level of whining based on game content...
Does full on screen sex get a 10 out of 10 on the whine-o-meter and drugs only an 8? Is nudity ranked higher than violence?
For years my top 'game that needs a remake' was Bionic Commando.
Now it's Guardian Legend, which I know is never going to happen.
Blaster Master and Crystalis also rank pretty high up there.
A revival of the Lufia series might be good too.
Link is too much of a 'nice guy' sort of character to be a badass.
Sephiroth is just a highly over rated stereotypical RPG bad guy, he's not only not badass, he's not even particularly memorable.
Saberwulf? Come on, gimmicky fighting games that were trying to ride Street Fighter to glory.
Vercetti? Eh, I suppose.
I'm surprised neither Ryu nor Dante made this list.
The 'must bring down the Sony killer app to make myself feel better' desperation continues.
Warcraft has a huge problem with people getting nailed by keyloggers and losing their accounts that way. The funny thing is that a free MMO solved this problem and the most popular MMO in the world hasn't taken the simple solution needed to stop about 80% of account thefts.
Knight Online lets you type in a user name and password, but you use a mouse and an on screen number pad with numbers that appear in random order to put in a pin #. Since you never press any keys there's no wa...
Never "Can Halo live up to the hype" or "Can Fable live up to the hype" or "Can Gears of War live up to the hype", it's only when a major exclusive title for the PS3 comes along and gets hyped up that the question is asked "Can this PS3 exclusive live up to the hype"?
Perhaps you are 'beating' Sony by 8 million, but how many of those 8 million were people who bought their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th console? How many of those 8 million were refurbished systems?
Gears of War 2, any Halo, Fable 2, and a few other games I could mention didn't get enough hype for Ripten to feel that they were overhyped I guess.
He's probably right though, there is too much hype for KZ2, I mean what if they had special TV coverage of the release of an FPS or something...
Now that would be over the top and stupid so it's a good thing no other FPS game has ever done such a thing in the past year or two...
Oh... WAIT...!
Linux is free provided you place no value on your time.
In these tough economic times it's sad that people have to resort to writing articles like this in order to generate page hits that they can then show to advertisers.
Sony needs a Halo killer because Activision (Call of Duty 4) and 2K games (Bioshock) have one already, and it would be a shame for Sony to be left out.
Just based on reading your post I can honestly tell you that if I were playing a game online with you I'd quit the game too and go find some other people to hang out with.
But of course it never crossed your mind that somebody quit the game because of how you were behaving now did it?
For years now we've listened to reports from the regular media about how the Internet is full of nothing but evil people out to harm you and your children and now we have this stupidity repeated by a gaming media website.
Why? Well, because it's about Home of course. We know all the 'cool kids' and people who want page hits to show their advertisers are always looking for the next big thing to throw at Sony. Proof that there are pedophiles on the Internet is like proof that the...
Expansion? By which I assume they mean "The rest of the game that we promised but failed to deliver including the other two classes we cut"
