while it certainly ranks up there I'd have to either say flat out, or tied w/ Beyond Good and Evil is Okami. Another one of the best that no one played. Although it seems that more people may have played Okami...

Great article though. Even better was the fact they listed 20 great new IPs coming soon...

Ubisoft is awesome. Sure they don't always release the ports and are sequel heavy but unlike other developers [cough, EA] at least Ubi does take it's earnings and ...

if I'm not mistaken the Samsung and Sony lcd's are produced on the same line and actually the same television technically speaking. The only difference in many of their sets are the physical appearance. Made by Samsung or not I know that in fact a lot of the television are the same, just a different name and appearance...

70" Pavv? Wonder how much more this is going to be than the 70" Bravia XBR3 that costs a staggering $34k. As for the XBR3. I to have one and it's ab...

actually DOA 2 was a Dreamcast and PS2 [DOA 2 Hardcore] title. And if I'm not mistaken the PS2 version was in fact a port.

I'd really be surprised if they're actually even creating a new engine for Ninja Gaiden 2. I think working with the original and updating [as they've now done] would be in their best interest financially. Obviously they can tweak the engine to utilize multiple cores and create advanced AI and anything else they wanted to add to make it a little more next gen. But aside from a tricky camera Ninja Gaiden currently has a very usable engine in which they can produce a sequel with...

If I'm not mistaken Itagaki said he wouldn't turn his back on Ninja Gaiden fans. That hardly states the game will remain XB exclusive. In all reality I think Team Ninja is going to quickly find that they have a large fan base on both platforms and decide to go multi w/ NG2. If nothing else I'd be surprised if they didn't at least release 2 at some point on the PS3... Referring to the comment about not turning his back on the Ninja Gaiden fans. If it's not already apparent, as if it wasn't ap...

take it you've only been playing your 360? The PS3 is about as silent as any console will come. Sure at times when the fan kicks on it's a little loud [overstatement] but even then it's noise isn't even comparable to the 360s which SCREAMS.

Also I don't know that stand alone players will decide the winner. A lot of PS3 owners are supporting the format and probably won't buy a stand alone player, but buy 10 times more movies than a stand alone players owner would. You could be ...

it seems Blu Ray titles are cheaper than HD DVD at amazon.com. At least any that are available on both formats. Also, in general I think Blu Ray is a few dollars cheaper than HD... Funny thing is that through amazon.com Blu Ray movies cost only a few dollars more than new releases on dvd. Even Casino Royale at release was only $23.95 while the dvd was like $19-20... But this is a general statement and what I noticed a few weeks ago while browsing selections of both...

I'm certainly more than pleased w/ my XBR3 right now and by the time these OLED sets are on the market and reasonably priced it will be time to replace my 32" Trinitron w/ this XBR3 and upgrade my XBR3 to an OLED set. Although, the Samsung Pavv does have me thinking about upgrading w/in the next couple years, Lol. Seriously though, you're better of upgrading now and looking into an OLED years down the road. Because even if they do hit the market it's easily going to be a good 5 years bef...

it's been finished for a week or two now. However they didn't bump up the release date despite having finished the game early. As stated by Tecmo previously the release dates are mid June [JP] and early July [US and EU]. I think the exact date stateside is July 3. I was hoping that because it's done we'd see it sooner. I'm not counting on it, but I'm still hoping they decide to release Sigma in late June instead [a week before it's scheduled release]...

while I'll agree that it possibly should be a standard amongst fighting games I don't agree that online should be the standard [generally speaking]. The point of fighting games is to compete and the single player aspects is nothing more than a $1 arcade game in that aspect. So offering online and the ability to play an arcade game [fighter ]online should be the norm. Some might disagree for whatever reason/s but at the end of the day fighting games are about head to head matches and not all o...

One of my biggest problems w/ VF5 was that it looked like an unfinished product. What I mean by that is only the characters were polished while the environments didn't look up to par w/ the rest of the game. So hopefully Tekken delivers on all aspects graphically speaking, and lets hope they take us online here. Just like VF 5 you know Tekken will have some great combat so that's the least of my concerns.

there hasn't been an announcement on NG 2 let alone which platform/s it will in fact appear on. It's assumed that they're developing it right now for the 360 but there's nothing official on the game, nor is there any statement saying that Team Ninja is in fact working on it...

I don't want to pay for extra crap. I want my game to come w/ everything it needs. The only downloadable content any game should get are patches and additional multi player maps. Any thing else should either come w/ the game or be offered as a free downloadable pack (ie: Costumes and other trivial things)... The new slogan for gaming, "Downloadable content, our way to milk your money."

This is just rediculous. The game is about an alternate WWII where the Axis doesn't exist, the Chimera do. It's a bloody video game for .... sake. In a war do you avoid the church if it's the safest route to get to and kill your enemy or do you proceed through it because it's the best strategy? Gun violence? Ok, this game uses a church for gun violence. Then why not blast the media for showing rebels who are held up in a mosque firing RPGs at British and US troops? This entire subject is absu...

I said it's almost unarguably the best action/adventure game ever. And I'm not talking reviews. Reviews BLOW as they're nothing more than an individuals opinion. Try tallying the opinion of millions of gamers instead. Is it my personal best? Probably not. DMC certainly isn't though either. While GoW, DMC, and NG are all great games they're all certainly the best in their own right. And a reason I said almost unarguably NG is the best. But when it comes to technical aspects not a single game ...

when the original Ninja Gaiden came out on the XBOX the console was still $180 [I know, I finally bought one for NG]. So the PS3 is hardly at least 450 $'s more. Plus you can get a 20 GB PS3 anyway which furher makes this price GAP bogus. Just had to point that out.

Also, I'm sure Sigma would sell a million plus if it were on the 360 because it's still a great game, but 100 times better looking, and has additional content. It's almost unarguably the best Action/Adventure game e...

with his comment. Everything in moderation. I often find myself camping during the rare online game I play. However I won't camp every map, every time I play. On occasion I'll camp for whatever reason/s, but probably only 1/4-6 times. But in moderation is the key. You can't camp every single time, on every single map when you get online. It's the professional campers who suck.... Anyway that was a great article, Props.

actually Sly Cooper 4 IS NOT Confirmed. Contrary to your link it's not official nor has it been announced. For one I am a subscriber to PSM and there is NO interview in the last 2 issues [yes I have the current issue]. Furthermore the link you provided, it's news is also submitted by the person who came up with this bogus list... But the bottom line is that Sly 4 is not an officially announced game no matter which way you want to chop it.

I wasn't aware of CoD 2 being differen...

hardly realistic. They state that games which are on another console aren't going to be considered exclusive (ie Ninja Gaiden, Zelda, Burnout) yet they list games which came out on other consoles under 360 exclusives (ie CoD 2 for one). Then they go on to list timed exclusives and titles which aren't even exclusive to the 360 (Ace Combat which is timed last I knew, and Conan along w/ Blazing Angels 2 which are multi platform as far as I know). Furthermore they state unannounced games won't be...

3 Huge Months for Gamers?? Why? Because these 3 titles? Only one of which I'll be buying [Assassin's Creed] along w/ a dozen other titles. Halo was cool, Halo 2 was disappointing, and Halo 3, well, I personally don't give a rats ass about, but I'm sure will buy sometime just for the sake of owning it as it's 99.9% surely going to be a must own title.

I find it, for lack of a better word, retarded to state there's going to be "3 Huge months for gamers" simply because ...
