A list like this is just too personal to apply. You can get good with any character if you spend enough time with them. My personal list would be totally different.
That's a credit to Nintendo for making a balanced game.
I agree, they should remove them if anything out of respect for Sega. Obviously, someone screwed up and left them available for someone to pull down off an FTP server whether it was someone on the inside or not. In any case, marketing announcements and hype around a game are important to sales and Sega obviously wasn't ready to release them or announce the game yet.
Sega probably should have requested they remove them rather than sticking their lawyers on them first. If they...
Oh come on, the Show didn't even beat out 2K sports baseball when going head to head with it on XPlay. XPlay never gets anything wrong and they have nothing but love for Sony :) (just look how much they loved FFVII Crisis Core on the PSP).
I never have any problems with Best Buy. In fact, I'd rather go there if I'm shopping for something like a game (and not getting it online) than someplace like Gamestop. You do have to avoid stuff they mark up like crazy like their HDMI cables... just nuts.
I usually feel guilty about not finishing a game even if it is dragging along. Zelda TP is one I've been playing off and on for about 6 months, but I do plan on finishing it (one day).
I try and stick to one game until it's done, but the sheer volume of good games coming out might make that impossible.
Unfortunately, I have a big stack of games I have yet to get to because I probably spend too much time on each one and I only have a limited time to play as it is...
XPlay's gaming update is literally stories from N4G. I imagine someone scans this site before writing the update. The new format has so much filler now that is not very interesting. It seems they are throwing in the kitchen sink to satisfy everyone, but it is so random now it isn't all that appealing. Other than XPlay upon occasion, I don't watch anything else on G4
I don't think I can throw a bottle and shoot it out of the air... I better practice up.
I thought the setting resembled Bioshock more than Uncharted and the cover system looked Gears of War (more part II than I). The limb breaking reminded me of NGII. The mist over the ocean had an Alan Wake feel to it and that helmet that guy had on is pure Halo (III not II).
Hillary needs to censor Bill before she should worry about the rest of America.
Someone mentioned that a gun in Godfather cost 150 MS points? That is what about $2.00, so expand that to 5 guns and you are talking $10.00? I would be surpised if it was as high as $10.00 though, but $10.00 is ~ 17% of the cost of the game.
Yeah, this is going overboard a bit there.
The problem with this policy is if it nets them more profit, it's only going to get worse and other publisher/developers might take on the same philosophy until you are paying $9...
I've played just as many PS2 titles on my PS3 as I have PS3 titles. For what appears to be dropping to $99.00, it's hard to beat a price like that for a PS2 if I didn't already have backward compat. I wish Sony had maintained backward compat. in their newer models, but I guess the cost factor was too hard to justify.
Sounds like Zelnick and his cronies are probably looking out for their own interest above Take Two's. EA could be a blessing for this company, although not too many people are thrilled with EA gobbling everything up.
I wonder though with the economy, does that mean people buy less games? I would think people would be less inclined to go out and spend money on gas and eating out, etc and would be more inclined to spend money on in home pursuits like movies, games and books.
Maybe? Who knows, I do know I'll be well beyond the 4 or 5 titles purchased...oops, I already am.
Do you really need a reason to care why you are cutting someone to bits?
I guess XPlay didn't encounter the framerate issues when they had it beating out the Show head to head.
Right, I agree. I think MMO's tend to draw in older crowds on average and some of the horror stories about those addictions ruin lives.
This it a bit off topic, but reminded me of an interesting technique my friend's father used on them. When they were bad, they had to go across the street to the woods and find a switch (small stick that made like a whipping motion). They had to then sit in the rec room on a chair with the switch and wait for their father who took his own sweet time. By then they were crying so hard you would have thought they were being tortured. By the time their father came in he usually didn't even ha...
The author is talking about reviewing games that are important to people for nostaligic reasons (ie they love SSBB because it is Nintendo characters). I would argue very few games released are based on characters gamers grew up with. Most games, even those that are sequels aren't built on lifelong characters we know from childhood.
It's much easier to gain a following with a great first impression then try to win them back with bug fixes and new content. I don't understand the game publishing world sometimes where they feel it is better to rush something out and hit a date then to give it a month or two more to fix the problems that cripple a product. In an MMO they just figure they'll fix it with patches, but people move on, they don't keep coming back to test the waters.
Gotta agree with that. I've played as DK moreso than any other character. The quick fast ones, I always overrun and have a harder time handling. Guess I'm old and slow.
