or that it was a VERY temporary sale to get rid of inventory. But for the HDDVD camp, the free advertising and subsequent word of mouth that "HDDVD players are under $100!" is huge, even if they're basically impossible to find now.

suck.

you shouldn't have to defend a proper review. If it was accurate, made sense and actually backed up it's own claims, they wouldn't be in the position they are in now.

yeah, that's basically what I was saying. You've played well over twice the games I have in Halo3, and played about 2437 more games of Halo2 than myself. Assuming each of those games lasted an average of 10 minutes, you've played Halo2 and 3 for nearly 18.5 days straight. That's right, I'm a geek as well as a noob.

Like I said, this is a game that caters to people that have played a lot of Halo. And with the theatre options, there's an any easy way for Bungie to help those of u...

is that even as a decent gamer, when dropped into a map or mode that I don't know at all it's incredibly hard to learn because I just spend the whole game getting killed. Sure you can learn as you go, and it just takes a lot of practice and sticking it out, but that doesn't mean it's not frustrating along the way. I've said it before about the game; it's built entirely for the people who eat, sleep and breathe Halo.

I'd love to see a set of bungie.net films that basically walk ...

but there isn't any way to buy one at any Best Buy or WalMart on the west side of Denver; seems they don't even have them in stock. I went to the Best Buy at Denver West, and the girl there pulled up the inventory for every store in the city; there were two in stock out in Aurora, all the way across town, and that's it. I called several WalMart stores, and as that's always a trying experience I gave up after the 4 I know of didn't have any.
It's not much good if you can't even buy the ...

Too bad(?) the only difference seems to be some really bad filters being applied. Doesn't look like they actually cut anything, they just obscured it. Just like any other half-hearted censorship job, it doesn't really make a f**king difference, you still know exactly what is there.

comment is so on point; this is part of the whole slippery slope we fall into of "well, this is ok, but that's not ok". I'm not trying to defend pedophiles in any way, shape or form because that crime is one of the worst there is, period.
At the same time, it's interesting how quickly many jump on the "well, it desensitizes them to the act" thought process for something like this, but when the games we enjoy that are full of violence are attacked it's a whole diffe...

I'm worried about this title on BOTH consoles. It looked and sounded really promising for a long time, but after the E3 showing it's been worrying. I preordered it on amazon many months ago, but at this point; lets just say I'm hoping for some reviews before the release date.

seen the commercial for the Simpsons game that only shows the ps2, ps3 and psp boxes, and ends with the Playstation logo at the end? They may be running multiple versions with different consoles represented, but I thought that was a pretty big step for Sony since they obviously had to pay for it...

which is more than I can say for Microsoft's movie service, and doubt I'll use what Sony offers. I seriously doubt either of them would do it for so many reasons... but I like the idea.

(pun intended) will be impressed by this game visually.
It may not be quite as good as a Pixar movie, but considering that every single scene from those movies are framed, polished and treated as traditional film, what's being accomplished now with gaming in general is incredible, and this is the best looking game with a cartoon style out there so far.

and that it gets the sales it deserved on the ps2.

since developers could focus on one platform, the platform itself would stagnate. What would be the reason to bring out a new system, to drop prices, to... compete? There is far too much money in this industry these days for any one manufacturer to control the hardware, and somehow I just don't see Nintendo, Sony and MS teaming up and agreeing on one platform. Their "cultures" are all far too different from each other for it to be a truly successful partnership.

It's ...

and being parodied by the Simpsons (still sorta) means that you have truly arrived. Cheers to Kotaku for that.

"people I know, that's who."

Hell of a statement to drop without a name to back it up. Makes for a lot of traffic to his story though, that's for sure.

How "independent" has always been one of their taglines/slogans. Now they are the official magazine. Bleh.
Agreed that it's been going downhill for a while now, and recently it's been one I let sit; then again, I'm not sure if any of the publications are that good anymore. At least Play has a great art director...

an average game. Dead Rising would have been a better choice for Capcom to port, at least it's original and has it's own style. I really hope Capcom doesn't blame poor sales for this title on the ps3 when the problem is the meh game itself...

back when people were saying "I bought a ps3 to play ps3 games, who cares about backwards compatibility!"
Now it's "what happened to backwards compatibility, that was why I bought a ps3!"
You could just buy an 80gb ps3 if it matters that much to you. Or just continue to complain since that's what most of you want to do anyway. This article was obviously written with your kind in mind.
