"MS really likes blowing money like rappers do with fancy shoes, jewelry, and grillz "
Great analogy! and this is true, MS throws its marketing budget around and makes no attempts to hide it. They always try to be over the top and this is also evidenced by the EA MS launch party in NYC, ( www.loot-ninja.com/2007/08/15/ ozzy-rocks-madden-launch-event/ )
they took over times square to promote and had Ozzy!! Just have a money fight while you are at it.
these format wars are killing me, i was watching heroes last night and found out season one will be released the second week of september but only on HD DVD, no blu ray love??!?! Now games and movies are going to become select, it is gettign a bit out of hand.
Payign for exclusivity is one thing but limiting content to certain systems is just worng. IMO why bother launching it on other ocnsoles if it will be done so half assed or incomplete?
Just think if FFVII would have been launched ont he xbox but you only got half the game and hten the other half was available to SONY users as a download???
Payola is bad news, and it is very evident right now witht he different movie formats, HD DVD and BluRay. I am positive peopl...
Ganster games are always good except Sopranos, lets just pretend that game never came out and call it a day..
it is true, i think peta and vegans take things ot the extreme. the circle of life demands that higher animals on the fod chain eat lower ones, that is how it works. eating chickens is necesary for survival, ok so we added the biscuits and gravy but that was just for taste.
peta goes over board witht his stuff and making a video game site just is more proof. who are they hoping to get form this?
the site borrows from the nintendo franchise to support the anti KFC message. Not sure why they decided to choose to parody nintendo to prove their point but they did. the game is a cute lil flash game that uses chicks instead of mario.
yeah the site doesnt make me not want to eat chicken, it actually makes me hungry! i think i will also have osme chicken later.
the site makes me laugh, i wonder why they chose nintendo to parody here?
and the make your own sign is genius too, maybe it isnt sponsored by peta at all, it is a new reverse psychology marketing campaign by kfc, hehehhee
LOL! Agreed.
Someone took a lot of time to program that game and amke the site, just funny how it is all these tree hugging stars form hollywood.
The game is decent and it is funny how htey blatantly used Mario Luigi and the rest of the Nintendo gang.
Im surprised to hear you say that Stranglehold dmoe sucked. I thought it was really good and actually play it quite a bit. I think they could have expanded on the powers that Tequila gets but i definitely like the interaction with the environment and the different ways of killing people in that game.
I think my order of preference is:
Stranglehold > Bioshock > Halo 3
Halo 3 is just riding hype, Halo 2 was only good for multiplayer, I barely ...
Unfortunately I cant change the title now, and stranglehold is as close to an FPS as you can get really, and does transition at times to FPS during Tequila Time.
COD4 isnt coming out for abit, Warhawk is more vehicles. UT3 also isnt for a bit.
Stranglehold, Halo3 and Bioshock all come out in the next 2 weeks or so.
I htink those are the three right now that will be battling it out for hte top spot.
And I recognize that Stranglehold strictly speaking is not an FPS but its close enough.
Also dont forget to hit the link and vote in the poll so we can tally the winner and give the right title bragging rights!
Im putting my money on Stranglehold FTW.
I had no idea even the achievements system had haters.
Achievement scan add a different aspects to games, give som extra things to achieve and add to replay value. Agree that some people take it to extremes and only play games for the points, you wont catch me playing Open Season just for points, that is just dumb.
Also i dont agree with pepople using the SuperSIm option to get easy points, that is dumb also.
Rumble is on the way for sure to the PS3.
This is interesting to see if people start to buy PS2's to try out hte technology and if SONY will continue to invest in their PS2 franchise.
it has a funny title
hehehehehe never lose hope.
Wow, I wodner if he smites heathens and then resurrects them?
DL times on XBLM have been quite slow lately, seems that hte stress of all these people DL at the same time has stressed their systems and broiught them to a crawl.
I definitely htink that BioShock is going ot push the FPS envelope with different features. That and Stranglehold seem to be trying to re-invent the genre. Halo 3 looks good and willl sell great but I just dont see the differentiation just yet.
"Back in the NES,SNES,SEGA Genisis,N64 and PS1 days it was more about the culture/hobby of gaming.
Remember when we gamers use to go to KBTOYS and get a game and not argue about which system is better?...Now, we have to defend our systems because of fear that our console will be killed by the opposing consoles."
Very F#$%ing true, there were rivalries between Sega and NES but it wasnt like now, where the fanboys jumpout at each other and rip each other to shre...
