The 360 is a console that mostly caters to the 'hardcore' gamer, you see. Since Australia has near constant good weather, and most Australians spend almost the entire day outside surfing or swimming or whatever, the 360 has little to offer them. They're more of a 'Wii nation'.
I'm sorry, I wasn't very clear. I apologise for that.
I wasn't suggesting that the PS3 is better at running game code, as taht's stil pretty debatable as of now. It's just that ravenguard said the PS3 isn't much more powerful than the 360 at all, which is untrue.
Now, I wasn't saying that PS3 games will necessarily get to the level taht the 360 simply can't do them, I was just giving an example of how the PS3, in terms of raw power, wins over the 360. Not gaming, jus...
I haven't encountered many problems with COD4 online at all. Are you with AOL? 'Cos I used to be with AOL, and they're so crap it's unbelievable.
Of course, you might just be unlucky. Once on COD4, I shot at one guy with an M16 in Hardcore mode, and with three bursts of fire, I missed him, and killed three of my own teammates. The guy with a mic just wouldn't shut the hell up about it.
ravenguard88, I don't know whether future PS3 games will actually look that much better than future 360 games (no one can predict the future), but there's no contest when it comes to technical specs.
The Cell processor is about twice as powerful as the 360's 3 CPUs. No argument about that.
The PS3 has the same amount of RAM as the 360, albeit at a higher speed, but not significantly.
The RSX is more or less as powerful as the Xenon, but an ability of the...
wrong place, sorry :)
Burnout, Skate, Rock Band are three great titles from EA.
Burnout: Disappointed some of the 'hardcore' Burnout fans with a new approach, but still a very solid racer indeed.
Skate: Blows the competition (Tony Hawks) out of the water, by adding a huge dose of innovation that the genre's been needing for a while now.
Rock Band: Guitar Hero, but with three instruments rather than just one. It's also undoubtedly better in every way, apart from visuals (but t...
What's wrong with franchises trying to 'cash in'? If you don't want the games, then don't buy them. Otherwise, stop moaning.
That's lovely. The last thing I remember my mum knitting me was a little wooly jumper I used to wear when I was tiny. I loved it when I was little, because my mum made it, but when I look at the photos now, I looked ridiculous. Still, I was only a little boy so I didn't care, I was happy. I don't really think it would fit me now anyway...
But who cares about me? Sackboy owns!! And so does the art guy's mum for making this!
Ready 2 rumble was great on the Dreamcast, but even on the Wii, the premise would be a little dated.
I personally would have given it an 8.5, mostly due to the fact that there just isn't that much in the game, but it's an amazing single-player experience, with fantastic production values.
I would say you were a wee bit generous with your score, but a review is just an opinion, and you expressed your views pretty well. I agree that the Sixaxis controls were used to great effect in this game. Take a note, Factor 5.
Sony and Microsoft? Whatever...
I'd give you a bubble if I hadn't already, Skerj. You don't really need anymore anyway...
More like an incendiary grenade.
Oven gloves will be needed.
I don't know, Wageslave. Halo seemed pretty much the generic 'humans vs. aliens' storyline to me, with a few twists, such as a ring-shaped world, etc.
The game's setting suits it perfectly, though. Halo isn't a very original game, but originality doesn't necessarily make a game good.
If I was to praise the Halo series for something, it wouldn't be the storry, but the execution is great.
That said, I have to admit Halo 3, in my opinion, didn't really live up to ...
I'm not worked up, it's just that the mods seem to have given up policing the site. Read some of the comments above, is taht not 'deleted by mod' material?
I know it's a joke, I was just pointing something out. Sorry if I ruined the Feng Shui.
The mods have abandoned us, my friend. They were doing well for about a week, and then the site receeded, back to what it was like in the first place.
Well, I guess it's back to square one... Thanks, N4G!
I find it hard to believe that everyone here is on their '4th 360', when the 360's failure rate is reported as 33%.
Maybe your second one, yeah. or even your third one (that's what I'm on, but I don't know anyone else who is, I must be unlucky) but when you say you're on your FOURTH 360, you're just spreading lies.
You're all liars. Damned, dirty liars.
Calm down, mate.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Look at some of the comments above... Jesus Christ, we've got two Open Zones now.
Thanks, N4G.
I wouldn't say MS's products suck the least. Simply because something sells well, doesn't mean the product is better than the competition.
The main reason is that there are little available alternatives for people nowadays. Microsoft have a monopoly in a lot of different markets; this means that MS products are in the public eye far more, and therefore get all the attention.
Now, I respect what Microsoft have done for the computer industry, in making home PCs affordable, an...
