Great news, another excellent game for me to play after Bioshock and before Halo 3
so a lot of people go from one magazine to another, most reviewers don't have a bias because it could easily cost them their existing jobs and prevent them from getting another one
Factor 5 needs to try their hand at a different genre, try doing something like Turrican again.
wow wasn't expecting the 5.0 this thread isn't going to end well
Lair is still a rental for me, graphics are just too good not to check them out on my LCD TV
I like how each platform cover is just a tad different I wonder what the x360 cover will look like.
it's the complete opposite of what is happening in Japan
Still it's only Amazon, hopefully Bioshock sells good when the official numbers come out. It doesn't deserve the same fate as System Shock 2
nope the upcoming story failed approval and check out the PSM myspace page
again why is this such a big deal it's not like people hated the beta
doesn't really prove that the review is fake... espically when the proof is coming from a post in another form.
having the publisher say that the review is fake would be proof everyone is looking for
bah reviews are subjective, a game rated 6.5 can easily be 8.5 game to someone or 4.5 to someone else.
I do find it interesting that same people who say a game is a flop because of it's review are now saying reviews don't matter
While I am looking forward to playing this game (supposed to have a amazing storyline). I am expecting the game to score either a high 60 or low 70.
Personally I will still enjoy it since I loved Gothic 1 & 2
I wasn't really into MGS3 not saying it was a bad game it just didn't excite me like MGS1 did and how now the Splinter Cell series does.
My personal preference is Splinter Cell : Conviction. I haven't really enjoyed the last two MGS games.
Chaos Theory was my all time favorite stealth game with it's flexible game play.
What the heck does MS have to do with HD DVD beside making a external drive for the x360. Little to people know that MS makes money on both Blu-ray and HD DVD since both use one MS's video codec.
Lair is going to be one of those games you either love or hate. For me it's a rental as I am not fan of Factor 5's work.
not that bad of a delay as long as I get to play this game during my holiday break I will be happy
Makes sense to release the demo a week or 2 before the game appears in store. Look at the hype BioShock is getting just before it's release thanks to the demo and great reviews.
You could also argue that since Ratchet and Clank franchise is more established and well know that Sony can release the demo any time they want.
Interesting article he makes some good points on the new format war.
I personally think that it's to early for a another format to replace DVD. Now Blu-ray and HD-DVD will probably still be successful for when it comes to storage (computer, consoles) but when it comes to replacing DVDs completely its just not going to happen.
The average consumer has spent far to much time and money buying all their favorite moves in DVD and new formats don't offer a big enough i...
I know it's impossible because of the closed nature of xbox live. Every piece of content on the system has to be certified by Microsoft before it's posted on Live. So this alone makes it next to impossible for a virus to enter the system.
It also doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that for someone to get access to your computer/console they need an entry point which means something has to be downloaded to your system and then activated. Someone can't magically just message...
I don't think it's even possible to get a virus on the x360 where would this virus come from? Xbox live is a closed system. Even then while the x360 has been hacked to play pirated games it hasn't been cracked to run custom/user software.
Story is one the most important elements for me when it comes to a video game, I only rate gameplay higher.
One of the reasons I am so looking forward to playing Bioshock is the unique storyline followed by it's atmosphere.
