He mentions that because the significance of exchange rates is something you have to consider in judging size. Their variables in measuring size is in monetary gains by region, which essentially only measures profit gained and not necessarily size of audience. If games were sold for an equal quantity in each region then monetary gains would be a decent gauge of relative size of a regions user base. This is not the case though.

Take MGS4 which you can find for £39.99, that is...

Every game, and how "good" it is, is viewed objectively from each individuals perspective. No one game will ever be viewed in everyones mind as a good game, and even more so no single genre will ever be viewed as good in every persons mind. It is all essentially perspective and their opinion on what it is that they like. I know that may be hard to understand that other people have different opinions, especially from yours aparently, but that doesn't mean they are wrong or that you a...

I understand what you mean, and I have to say I agree. I'm sure the specs have gone up from what is listed there, and the creature creator wont tell you completely if your system is good enough. However, I think it is a good test and I don't believe the reqs will be too insane. I do have to admit that I'm looking at things from my perspective which are obviously different from yours, in terms of average hardware. I have to admit that I am more than likely underestimating them.

I highly doubt that Spore will require a high-end gaming machine... Just because it is a new game doesn't mean the developers are going to be like Crytek and make a game that alienates it's user base.

Those are not official requirements, however that is what was said in an interview a while back. Though I can see them increasing the requirements a little bit, I ...

I with more developers and designers were as visionary in their outlook and concepts as Will Wright. Him and Peter Molyneux are pretty unique. Hate Molyneux or Wright all you want for talking alot, at least they strive to incorporate expanding ideas and new concepts rather than rehash the same old stuff.

Great scans, really looking good. Looking forward to more information on this game and more trailers, can't wait for the release, the game is going to be epic in size.

Just awesome!

It is supposed to be a mix of Simulation, RTS, and RPG elements.

It is going to be very unique.

I think I have to disagree with you just a little bit on your points. GeOW2 will have less of an impact in it's multiplayer front from the games you mention than what Resistance 2 will feel. I say that because GeOW2 is obviously a 360 exclusive and R2 is a PS3 exclusive.

I know your saying "duh stupid" at the moment, but most of the games you mentioned, i.e. Socom, MG4 online, LBP, are Sony exclusives and will be eating into the Sony user base. Its not that GeOW2 won't...

Really interested to see how this is supposed to work out:

- ""Wingman" game mode: You and a buddy team up, sharing a single character model in this five teams of two game mode."

Not sure if they worded that wrong or if I'm reading too much into that but how are you supposed to share a character with another person? One guy runs and directs and your buddy controls when to shoot? Dual-wield pistols and control one arm each? I'm pretty sure either I...

I think visually it is fine, much better than a lot of other titles that are releasing this year and later honestly. Gameplay wise, I think this game will excel really well, check out the video below.

Would be nice to see some new footage or another level to verify the diversity of its cinema. Truth is I know that probably won't happen soon since its not set for release till February, but at least that gives them a lot of extra time to make this perfect. Hopefully we'll have more by the end of August or September, we'll see though.

Chances are really good that each of them will receive a Game of the Year Award from someone, it's not like there is an Oscars for gaming or section of reviewers and experts who declare the overall official game of the year.

Definitely agree this is a great year for gaming and most appear to possibly deserve the title from many. I'm really interested to see what and how Spores gameplay pans out to be.

There has been official footage revealed of the game.

There was also a multi player showcase they did at another event, I'll try to add that in later but it should be easily searchable.

Well, thats all you do in Mario and look at the crack heads who can't get enough of that crap!

No offense Mario fans, I love him too.

This game is going to sell gangbusters. I can seriously see this becoming the next big thing. Just from being able to test drive the creator it is going to create major hype for this game.

I'm interested to see what the actual game play will be like though.

Edit: forgot to mention the YouTube aspect, that alone will create so much momentum for this game.

Anticipation generally lets your imagination run wild with possibilities of what the game will be like before you get a shot at it. I'm pretty sure Haze was subject to this as the media and the developers were hyping Haze a lot. I'll rent it to judge for myself.

Wow dude... replace "werent" with "wasn't". I'm not a grammar nazi, but damn dude I felt like I was reading something someone wrote in the woods while they were playing the banjo.

So when there is little difference in the end result BMI b/c people didn't bother to control their eating habits/style the negligible results will be attributed in a negative light on something intended to help people. Just my opinion, but I think people are setting the device up for failure. I understand people are trying to gauge specifically the value of the device on it's own, but if they knew even a little bit about effective exercise they would know that you can't gauge the effectivenes...

I think it is a good game for what it is worth. However the last paragraph of the review really nails what to expect within the game and how to decide if it is right for you.

I'm honestly looking forward to the next episodes. They are supposed to be much more refined and I think reviews like this will only help shape further installments to be better.

They suck because directors, producers and many movie companies never take the story or background seriously. Also, if they do then they usually overdue it with interpretive analysis from their viewpoint and it becomes some retarded rendition from their brain, Ewe boll. Finally, fulfilling gamers concept of characters is extremely daunting because of the varied viewpoints from casual to hardcore gamers and everyone in between. Just my opinion though...
