Really? Half-life's Multiplayer was that good, was it? I think you're confusing a great Singeplayer game with a great Multiplayer game.
I'm no fan of Halo and I love Half-life, but let's give credit where credit is due - Halo did a LOT for FPS games on consoles, probably as much as the likes of Half-life did for FPSs on PCs.
It may be worth editing the original article to make it clear that this refers to their iPhone games, not PC, console or even handheld games.
There's nothing wrong with Treyarch, but it's a bit like having a Kid, then watching that kid get raised by a stepdad every other weekend. He's not really doing anything wrong and even though he might love the kid as much as you do, its still your kid and you'd much rather raise it yourself.
MS don't charge you to ship anything, all they ask is you put the 360 in a box, stick a label on it and a courier will pick it up.
They should totally do this! A game where you play Ghost, going on Reconnaissance missions! Wonder what you could call it...
Why should Microsoft give up? they just banned a MILLLION consoles, got worldwide press about it and sent a good, firm message to many people THINKING about modding their 360 that they shouldn't.
Sure, hackers are already working on a way to avoid these bans, but so what? If it takes MS another year or two to figure it out, they'll just go on ANOTHER ban spree. I'd say MS is doing fine and doesn't need to stop doing anything.
And for the "but what about lost sales to the ...
I quite like Party chat and I don't use it to cheat. Sometimes, you just don't want to listen to other people on live.
Taking the "thrown"? I guess they mean THRONE?
How can something be both Rumour AND confirmed?
With a Blu-ray burner? You know, they do exist. Sure, the disks aren't cheap but back in the PS2 days, neither were DVDs and that didn't stop those pirates.
Same goes for the PS1 days. Even if it works out only $5 cheaper per game, enough people will want to pirate stuff.
This article has NOTHING to do with the Sky player. There is not one difference between the Sky player on the 360 and the supposed player on the PS3 pointed out by this article, aside from the Xbox Live Gold subscription cost. That's it.
It goes on about how you have to pay for a Sky Multiroom subscription - apparently this is Microsoft's fault? No, it isn't, that's a Sky thing and if you try to use Sky player via the website/PC, the same applies. And when it comes out on PS3, you'll st...
I personally do not care for rap at all, it's really not my cup of tea. But am I bothered that they've used some Rap in an advert? No, why do I care what the advert is like? Its not like the game is filled with Rap that I don't like, the game is solid.
And even 50cent's voice in game, what do I care? As long as my comrade doesn't start suddenly rapping in the middle of a firefight, I'm happy, its just another voice to hear. Maybe a familiar one to some, but so what? Are people, e...
As a matter of fact, Forza 3 is a region locked title, so you actually CAN'T import it from a different region.
"In effort to catch hungry pirates, Microsoft released a tainted version of Forza 3 to snatch the unsuspecting pirates."
Utter fabrication, the "leaked" version of Forza 3 was identical to the retail version that came out a few weeks later, not a single byte was different. Futhermore, with regards to the Forza bans, only people in the US were banned. There's an entirely separate ban wave going on right now that IS international, but it has nothing to do with F...
"Really? Then why isn't this worldwide? "
Because you need a Sky subscription? This is what UK people get instead of Netflix.
That still doesn't make sense, each 360 ISO is like 7Gb, you'd barely fit more than 40 or 50 on a 250Gb drive. They're definitely not 2GB each!
Call me old school, but even if this game looked photorealistic, I still don't know ANYTHING about the gameplay (other than it being yet another FPS - which tells us nothing) and thus I have no reason to get excited about it.
I mean don't get me wrong, its great when a game looks absolutely amazing, it really makes it a lot better, but gameplay will always be paramount and since we know nothing about it, I'm happy to sit back and let my inner hype gnome go crazy over some other games. ...
Quite a bit of this article doesn't actually add up. For a start, it has the dates completely wrong with when MW2 was "leaked" online - it says it happened monday of this week but I happen to know it was more like thursday/friday of last week.
Further more, it says the guy "cracked the code" of the game to pirate it? Uhhh, no, to copy a 360 game you put it in a special drive (Which can be a standard 360 drive from any 360 - or you can get them online for about...
There IS such a thing as "avatar awards" which are free and 'splosion man was patched with some so I'd take this article with a grain of salt.
Unlike some people, I have not been so quick to dismiss Natal. However, that isn't to say I think its the "Next Big Thing". I just think the technology is extremely impressive, but I've still yet to see that "killer app" that could make or break it. I'm hoping MS pulls something great out of the bag in february, some game that I MUST SIMPLY HAVE, but if they don't I wont be terribly surprised. What excites me is the possibility that a lot could be done that we haven't even...
