I can see what you're saying, but have you ever heard the immortal words, "You're not what we're looking for right now" from an interviewer?
I don't think the worker was "sh*tty", I just think that the company was looking to expand in a different sector. The company down the road though maybe targeting a different section of the market where this type of worker would excel.
Catch my drift?
Also, how many times have we seen a gam...
Who would have thought that Nintendo would have done this well this generation? When Sony announced the PSP a lot of people thought it was all over for Nintendo's handheld market.
When Nintendo first revealed the relatively underpowered Wii after the lower than expected sales of the Gamecube a lot of people thought there was no way back for them.
Funny how things turn out hey? I know, cos I was one of those very people who doubted Nintendo, but looks like I was W...
Whenever I see comments as long as those from Topgamer and Deepbrown I know something's gone amiss and we seem to have left the rational world of debate behind.
If you were in the army or school I'd chain you both together for the whole day until you made up! But in the absence of that I'll state what I believe to be one negative and one positive thing that you both said. Therefore (hopefully) putting the forces of gaming debate back into a zen like balance:

When will they stop? I can understand console manufacturers and gamers ... but gaming websites?! Looks like they've taken a leaf out of the people and industry they report about.
It seems like it doesn't matter which industry you're in, there's always a flame war raging and rapidly spreading.
... unless you want to have the same uncertainty as us European buyers.
The trouble with projectors is that they need the room to be fairly dark to look good which means you'll have problems on a sunny day (unless you're in England of course) and you'll have to keep the curtains closed (which may be advantageous depending on what you're watching).
You're right a rumor may make sense for this one, as both 1up.com and computerandvideogames.com have "Halo 3 for Sept?" as their titles implying they're not stating it as fact rather a possible.
Also, shouldn't the original 1up article be the source for this? it has far more information rather than the shortened MaxConsole version:

'Nuff said.
It's good to see Adventure games starting to become popular again and Sam and Max is pretty damn funny!
Makes a break from all the racers and shoot 'em ups.
Now if only LucasArts could get round to making a new Monkey Island ...

There seems to be such conflicting news over whether the PS3 is gonna do well or not on the European launch. I don't know what to believe.
I'll let the hard facts speak for themselves when the PS3 is released next week. Hopefully whichever side gets it wrong (those expecting it to do badly and those expecting it to do well) will admit their predictions were wrong and apologise gracefully.
Although judging by the comments over the last year, I don't think any side...
Anyone who's been out at night in any major UK city will know how dangerous it is with all the muggings and assaults, especially with drunk people leaving bars to go to clubs which'll be especially true around the midnight time.
No doubt staff have to be paid more to work nights as well. Game launches should be at 6am, when it's daylight and safer.
Just goes to show that knowing your way around business principles and marketing is just as important, if not more so, than actually creating a game.
The cross platform comparison is the funniest, it ALWAYS gets fanboys from both sides and even normally unbiased gamers, sucked up into the ensuing flame wars!
Which is why so many of those articles are so hot. Flame bait is what it is.
Think about it, how many times a day do you need to go for a "Wii" compared to eating at McDonalds or using a razor?
No wonder it's embedded in people's minds.
Ha ha, makes perfect sense(!)
I've approved this story and hopes it makes it to the front page, if only to see the reaction from your average N4G reader - judging by some of the previous comments on this site, they could be quite interesting ... !
I'm glad you liked it. I can see that you're a Trainee Contributor so you'll no doubt be experiencing the same things I did.
It's so stressful, yet so addictive!
Spread the word mate, I'm sure other contributors will be able to relate to this post. Cheers.
No problem mate, hope I didn't hinder your chances of getting the story approved. I accidentally submitted the same story myself because I didn't notice it.
Hopefully NewsBot will come along and fully approve yours! Cheers.
Yeah FordGTGuy, game sales and launches will only get bigger. The traditional media of Film and Music are having to make way for the big boys of the games industry.
Rejoice gamers, from Pong to photorealism, from geeks to gamers, our time has finally come. We're gonna rip up the mainstream!
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how well Pro Evo 7 looks and plays on the PS3 and 360.
