don't buy it. Send MS a message.

They'e whining because HS was somewhat of a masterpiece in gaming that's just going to die. I have a feeling if Enslaved isn't a success the studio will be in trouble.
They want people to remember how great the game was. Nothing wrong with that.

If what you say is true, I'm sure they're regretting their decision big time. As far as NT digging in and doing a sequel, I'm sure they couldn't afford it and clearly So...
The gameplay mechanics were great to me. Better and more enjoyable than God of War III IMO. Much more than, pull the sparkling lever to get through the door then resume button mashing. Pfft ...
It's unfortunate because Sony doesn't appear to be interested in a sequel or patching it with trophies and because it's their IP, it'll just die.
Unfortunately Sony owns the IP so they can't produce it for XBox and Sony doesn't appear to be willing to pay to have it patched with trophies and optimized. Damn shame.
Do Tennessee and Kentucky even have a basketball team?
If you've ever played Halo, you know how impressive this is if it is truly in-game engine.
I'm not a Halo fan, but if this game has the typical Halo frantic pace and shit all over the screen with this quality of graphics, I'll have to give it one more try.
It's amazing the Xbox can do this.
PC Magazine is still breathing? I thought they were defunct years ago. Maybe they've been in hibernation and just woke up to write this aged article.
Funny you should say that. Harcore gamers are just as unlikely to need gigs of storage. Hardcore gamers aren't trying to load 100 Gigs of downloaded music (ROFL) and Movies. They're playing, mostly FPS' all day and night.
I'd like to know who really needs 100 GB for "gaming".
The arcade SKU existed before Kintect ... duh.
I believe there is a limit of 2, but I'm sure MS could increase that with an update.
edit: Don't see why they would unless they won't be trying to profit of HD accessory sales. 64GB of flash and you can forget about ever selling an HD to an Arcade owner.
Everyone who wants a console in their home can't afford games at $60 a pop.
With XBL (price of one <$40 game/yr) they can have access to the best arcade games available. Few are over 700k. You can add up to 32G USB Storage (16 x 2) and it performs great. No loading delays whatsoever.
I've run Resident Evil, Darksiders, and a 2 GB Episode of Law & Order: SVU. Microsoft has optimized their drivers. Kudos for that, I was using microSDs.
I'm a Wipeout HD fan so I might not be as impressed but with this review I'll give it a go.
XBLA in general. I'm still playing Geometry Wars, Magic The Gathering, Lode Runner, Poker. An Arcade with 1 - 16G Flash disk is all you need.
I moved all my Arcade games to flash disk just to try and they all load and run as well as from HD. I'm just using an 8G microSD. Even ran Demo of RE(5) and Darksiders without a hitch.
Good stuff Maynard.
Since modded boxes are permanently banned from XBL, I doubt it has any impact.
You're thinking Magic the Gathering Tactics. I belive that will also be a download but not sure. Makes come compromises form the card game, i.e. no lands. They created some type of zones. I'll give it a spin, but prolly stick with the card game.
I think Tactics dev is why the card game is taking so long. :/
I thin that's the whole point of this one.
Another Gamestop 2x trade-in and I'm all over the new 360S!
I wasn't going to buy Enslaved, and if I did, it would have been on PS3. But the flip floppin' fanboys who were hypin' HS now bendin' over for Sony trashin' a great developer have convinced me to buy it ... for Xbox even.
