I bought Halo 3 a couple weeks ago and found out the hard way that you can only play like a fifth of the ranked game modes unless you have ALL of the DLC.

It costs nearly $20 to buy all of the maps. Pretty ridiculous, imo.

Nope, but likely November/December.

Would've been a bad move if you bought the GTX 465. That card has a terrible price-to-performance ratio. The GTX 460, on the other hand, is excellent.

The game isn't out yet so I don't see how a fan could have created the map.

Flying cones and ballistics modeling? Half-Life 2.
(Most of HL2's weapons are hit scan, but so are Halo 3's)

"Since it's plain old blast physics, show me another game where a grenade can stick to another grenade and be thrown back? Show me someone sniping a rocket out of mid-air."

That's not impressive physics, that's called attention to detail.

The games are being played through an emulator. You can play Wii games in HD resolutions like 720p, 1080p, or even 2560x1600. You can also add anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering.

How are those Halo 3 physics examples supposed to be impressive? It's all small scale stuff--flying cones and ballistics modeling on a couple weapons which is nothing new.

It's a free game. It's a fairly common business model in Asia. Sometimes it works amazingly like with MapleStory and you make hundreds of millions of dollars, and sometimes it bombs.

This isn't a 360 game. It's PC exclusive.

Yes, and StarCraft 2 is pretty well balanced. The 5 month long beta helped a lot with that.

lol, of course they did. Balance patches for Brood War continued for 3 years after the game released.

They're just trying to get hits.

I say ban SpitPod.com from N4G.

Monasteries, mountains, chase scenes in mountains, and ice caves aren't really unique.

Jackie Chan Adventures had them!

Looks pretty empty in there. I think they're all busy playing StarCraft 2. :P

That's because they tend to focus on the mass PC market, not the high-end one. Crysis focused on the high-end market and that game still looks amazing, 3 years after it released. There are other games that focus on the high-end such as ArmA 2, which looks incredible, but is lacking in some areas due to it being self-published and consequently not having an astronomically high budget.

Valve and Blizzard focus on getting their games on as many computers as they can, and the...

Bad Company 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 sold over 5 million copies and they're $30 now.

If you compare it to competing game services like Steam, the voices sound comparatively tinny and robotic.

The graphics in the first one weren't crazy good or anything, but the game was nice to look at.

The detail seems to have been improved in Dragon Age 2, but they need to work on the lighting. As it is right now, it looks pretty flat.

The reason you don't see a massive difference is because developers reuse the same assets in the console versions in the PC version.

Microsoft did put out their own smartphone. It was called the Kin and it failed hard. It used an NVIDIA Tegra SoC which is based on ARM11.
