Keep in mind that all the game play from PAX was done by amateurs. Wait until the pros get their hands on it, then you'll see some shit. And jumping around like an idiot won't save you.
"MK3/UMK3/Trilogy had a run button, but that didn't make it "less of a fighting game," it made it a competitive fighting game."
As well as a broken fighting game.
Fuck the run button. I've grown tired of the runjab.
Considering the number of Harry Potter movies, I don't see why they couldn't do the same with Halo. It definitely couldn't be just one movie.
That's speculation. I hardly think the fans had anything to do with the choice of music, seeing as many games that use real music for whatever reason have a poor selection. It's about advertising, nothing more.
So I'm immature for enjoying a game with friends that requires skill? Really? You do realize the average gamer is in their 30s, right?
While you keep reaching, I'll be playing Reach and having fun. I don't know about you, but that's why I play games.
I'm almost 30, have a clear complexion, love Halo, and I'm not into Linkin Park, which means you're a liar.
Could say the same about 90% of the people on this site.
How is this copying the DualShock when cross-shaped d-pads have been around since the NES?
$64.99?! No thanks. I'll be getting a couple of these for $34.99 each. Fucking Microsoft.

This is why I pirate, which pretty much pays for shit like this, so I can't really complain. Still, it's a bullshit move by Microsoft. I love how they're advertising 3 months of LIVE for $10 in order to get more customers, only to jack up the price.
This on top of $15 XBLA games and map packs becoming the norm. Microsoft is a joke.
A lot of effort was put into Lara Croft in the design department. Story was a bit weak, but plenty of replay value to justify the price. The game is pretty lengthy, too.
I'm not sure if this is 100% true or not, but on top of getting the online co-op for free, I heard the Xbox 360 version will get the first real DLC released for it for free as well.
@Jimmy Riddle: UMK3 for SNES/Genesis completely slipped my mind. I apologize. Every time I think of Rain and Noob in the 2D games, I think of MKT, as it had the complete versions of them, while SNES and Genesis did not. To answer your question, Wavenet was a modified version of the MK3/UMK3 arcade games that allowed it to be played over a network connection. It had a limited release. It also had some gameplay tweaks, like a limit on Kung Lao's spin (no more infinite combo). Noob Saibot wa...
@Agent-X: More like a reboot of MK1-UMK3. Boon says there will be roughly 26 characters. If you do the math, there are exactly 26 characters between MK1-UMK3, not including Goro, Kintaro, Chameleon, Khameleon, Motaro & Shao Kahn.
@Jimmy Riddle: Unless you were lucky enough to play the Wavenet version of UMK3 around Chicago, you probably mean MK Trilogy.
Anybody who doesn't think Halo is important to console gaming is only fooling themselves and completely blinded by their fanboyism. It's just as important to console gaming as GoldenEye was. With the exception of maybe the Modern Warfare series, which has grown stale already, I have yet to play a multi-player FPS that's as well rounded as Halo. That's not to say either series is without flaws, but at least Bungie supports and appreciates their community, which is more than I c...
This controller would be great for those who are used to an Xbox configuration. I never had any issues with the PS controllers other than its analog placement, which is extremely uncomfortable for me when playing first person shooters. On one hand, I applaud Sony for sticking with what works for most people. On the other hand, I'm the exception. I don't think Sony implemented dual analogs with FPS in mind. I know a lot of you are totally fine with it -- and that's great, I'm h...
It's people like you that don't think about the long-term effects and consequences, causing even more problems for future generations. This form of punishment is proving to be ineffective in this day and age. Not only are prisons reaching maximum capacity in the US, but taxpayers are paying for it. The whole concept of prison has been watered down over the centuries; a far cry from being thrown in a dark dungeon, being fed nothing but bread and water. And why should they have to regis...
Not sure why everyone's getting all excited. Xbox 360 bans modders, which is why they usually don't play while connected to LIVE (if they're smart), so this news isn't all that surprising. It's just plain common sense. It's not a sure way to prevent those with a lack of an online presence from using it, either.
Also, I like how some people think pirating movies and music is perfectly okay, while pirating games is not. If you pirate movies and/or music,...
Dash > Run button. And without either, we'd have MK2 game play all over again, with nothing but turtle matches.
