GTA used it? Well, probably not much.

No, in the end, the only games that truly utilized the HDD were the SOCOM titles and Square's Final Fantasy XI.

The HDD was discontinued in 2004.

It has been done.

See: Sega Genesis.

Genesis proved upgrades were detrimental to a console's ability to succeed. Console consumers want a streamlined, simple product. Upgrades complicate things while providing benefits that are generally only taken advantage of by first-party developers.

Similar situation with the N64's memory expansion.

This game gets so little press. At this rate there's no way it will be commercially successful.

Also is that Gray Fox on the cover art?

About time! I always had faith in you, NISA!

Not a good review in terms of content. It might as well have been a preview. He didn't offer any criticism.

I probably could've written the same text with info I already learned from trailers and press releases.

I hope this isn't it, solely because of HOMEFRONT.

This game 'Heartland' would've been a great idea a few years ago but now it's too late. Bush is out, and Homefront didn't do great, which was a game based on similar premises.

"Metal Gear Solid: Rising (Extra Content)"
"Silent Hill: Downpour (Extra Content)"

Why yes, I'm sure they already know they'll put extra content into Cafe versions of games that are still MONTHS AWAY FROM RELEASING ON ANY PLATFORM.

Multiplayer?

Good read! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for compiling a list. Really shows people ought to actually READ the reviews for once.

Of course it "can be done", the article just asserts that MotionBlurSkinning wouldn't work well on PS3.

If you've seen gameplay from the Gears 3 beta, you'll notice extreme amounts of motion blur during fast movement, like when characters sprint. It seems to be an integral part of the game's aesthetic and it's due to MotionBlurSkinning.

We'll see about that.

I have quite a few Phats sitting around but some are in awful cosmetic condition. Wonder if they'll take those?

I know that feeling. I caved, and bought it for $10.
It was not worth it. I played it once, for about half an hour, and I've never touched it again.

Even with the analog patch, Lair is a horrendous game... especially by today's standards. You won't be prepared for how bad it is, both in graphics and gameplay.

Fine, but who would make it?

Lair players may have noticed how similar it was to Star Wars: Roque Squadron games.

That's because it was made by the same developer, Factor5. But now Factor5 is defunct, as they shutdown a year or two ago.

Supposedly the Wii will receive a cut within the next month ($150), and Xbox will probably follow, so now may be a good time to start chopping, Sony!

Horrible? More like horribly awesome.

Moreover if they had even attempted making the Xbox 360 without Halo 2's core online multiplayer values, the console probably would've turned out much differently, and not in their favor.

If you remember playing Halo 2 in 2004 you might recall it was the first complete fulfillment and justification of the Xbox Live experience. Halo 2 brought streamlined matchmaking systems, a level system that measured your experience/skill relative to other players, an in-game active...
