I doubt EA would have people fly all the way to singapore just to see a game. I hate to say it, but they are gobbling these studios up for a reason. Let's look at some variables

EA has been one of the biggest pushers for a one console world
EA has been on the sideling looking at what sony and MSFT has been doing for a while now
EA tried it once before with 3D0
Imagine a world if EA gets Take Two and the only place to play any sports title aside from MLB t...

as a 360 owner and future ps3 owner (mgs4 bundle) it's sad to see anaylyst falling victim to the fanboy wars. it's like if you have a 360 or a ps3 you must automatically hate the competitor's console. I like gaming on my 360 and I have a lot of respect for the ps3. I also believe if fanboys had the option or the means to own both we would have some bias, but it would not be as bad as it is today.

when I had bellsouth they told me I'd have download speeds of 4mbps when I got their dsl service i was actually getting 1.5mbps; one thing they failed to mention in their presentation is that dsl service fluctuates depending on where u stay. For exampe if you stay close to one of their nodes you'll get faster service, but if you stay a good ways away from power source your signal downgrades as it travels. The beauty about cable is that because it travels over a fiber optic cable line they a...

I was thinking about upgrading my pc to get back into pc gaming. the 8800 gpu just came out and they already have the 9 series coming out? I'm still using a geforce 6 series in my pc LOL. At least with the ps3 and 360 I know what I'm getting and approx how long...

it's funny how this article states Too Human fails to impress, yet every other article on Too Human sees potential in the game; also if you watched Xplay last night (in the states) their interview with dennis dyack. Adam Sesslers hands on with the game has this one of sesslers must have games of 2008. What's even more funny is the fact that this article comes from someone who isn't even at GDC. Most articles I've read talk about how the game needs a little more polish but praises the flow...

is a software company first and foremost. So one would have to assume they are gonna impress with software. If anyone didn't they were in denial. I'll say this I think MSFT is really gonna impress because everybody is counting them out this year. Like their 2007 games are no longer important cuz this is the so called year of Sony??? After next week we'll see what analyst are saying about MSFT then..... GOW 2 and substantial price drop will change the mindsets of many a doubter....

why should they stop labeling their games? when it comes to consoles it is only for xbox360 and when it goes to PC it'll be labeled "Games for windows" two different platforms the same company. This news is good for gamers but it's being spinned as a negative for the xbox brand and that's just stupid. Let's clear the air here. The average gamer is not gonna go buy a dual core pc with a nvidia 8800gt gpu, and 4 gigs of ram with vista ultimate, install the game adust the system sp...

fanboy or not. You can't deny the fact that some good games are coming to the 360 in 2008. Will it match 2007? that's a matter of opinion but no 360 owner will go without. Even they only put out 1 good game a month that should keep a lot of gamers satisfied. burnout in the month of jan, dmc4 in the month of feb, not too mention lost odyssey...

now that you've seen some stuff from msoft I'm assuming other than fable 2, what are your takes on the future of the xbox division?

I'm 28 with two kids, own two cars, paying on another, wife, and a dog; got a mortgage and when I'm not gaming I'm playing around trying to learn the stock market on ivestopedia.com in my spare time. The writer of the article tries to spin it like men who game are trying to avoid growing up when in reality it's a hobby to help us deal with the pressures of adult hood. Just like a woman who goes shopping that's my wife past time gaming is mine. The writer of the article is another cooper la...

I'd have to agree. It's not a awful game. it's a rent for me at best, but i do like to see devs reach out to the masses and at least address customer concerns if anything it shows they are listening. hopefully the final version will infact be better than the demo.

I'll be getting LO despite the reviews. I personally like the old school rpgs that's how I came up on rpg's. The new stuff is fine but I prefer the old school battle system. RPG's are a thinking mans genre. If i wanna go into a game swinging my sword blindly with little to no strategy I'll play god of war, conan, or heavenly sword.

Than it is for EA. This gives marvel more room to really see what a dev can do for them. I'd personally love to see what capcom could do with a marvel vs capcom vs snk game with the graphical set up of street fighter 4.

Surfer girl is hit or miss, but she's more hit than miss most of the time. I really want killzone 2 to be successful. I don't think the 1st killzone was all that bad but it did have some problems. Namely the controls for me. Hope they have some good stuff for GDC

I think it'll benefit sony more if they go back to a 1 sku approach. Multiple sku's have helped Msoft somewhat but I think Sony can solidify more userbase if they go back to 1 sku. I'd recommend establishing the 40gb model with BC and selling it a reasonable 299.99

knows what they are doing with xbox hardware. I have really high hopes for this game.

now you see why Msoft supported HD-dvd. Because it used their HDi software. Now that the bluray camp is talking to msft in hopes of using their HDi software looks like msft will have no problem supporting bluray.
