My very first game online, I played with a guy that had just bought a 360 for Halo 3. He had 35 achievement points.

I hope SCi gets bought by a good company. I'd like to see a AAA treatment on the Tomb Raider series. If SCi is in as much financial trouble as rumored, expect a rush job using the same engine as Legends.

I paid in full a week prior to the release. I was told that it would make it easy to pick it up at the midnight launch. This was not true.

Gamestop was open prior to midnight and everyone was treated the same. Everyone was given a number on a first-come-first-serve basis. So, if you didn't pre-order, you just paid on the spot for your number.

So, instead of walking in and picking up at 12:00, I was number 76.

Maybe those that say Halo 3 is "over-hyped garbage" should play it before trashing it.

I'm sure this isn't a bug. It's the same proportions as 4:3 split-screen.

You are right, the sides have black areas. It looks like it was designed this way. I doubt that's an error.

Has anyone tried regular co-op online with 1 player per 360?

This article is just 1 incident. It could be his HDTV.

HDTVs are like snowflakes. No two are alike.

It fills the screen for me.

I just bought Halo 3 and the only girls in the line were a few girlfriends and moms.

He had the guts to say that the PS3 can't be saved. I think that's the first journalist to ever suggest it. Usually, you hear that the PS3 "will eventually win".

I was surprised about his opinion on the Wii. He thinks the hype has ended.

He is right about software, though. The 360 sells tons of it.

If MS or Sony bought SCi, it would could pay off. Lara needs talent. I'm sorry, but Climax did an "ok" job. But nowhere near the potential.

Please change your avatar. I want to vomit everytime I see it.

There may even be legal liability if they didn't mention that the PS3 wasn't online. It's only fair to the consumer.

Remember when Sony said "spring" for the PS3 launch? Sony actually meant that the release date would "bounce" into Fall.

The same is true of MGS4.

From what we've seen, the violence is not anywhere near AO. It's cartoonish violence. Gears has more realistic violence, and is rated M.

I'm glad he made it clear that the new girl will have large breasts. When he said Rachel won't make the sequel, I was afraid there wouldn't be any. (I'm kidding........mostly)

Wikipedia states that Halo 1 sold over 5 million and Halo 2 sold over 9.2 million worldwide.

All 360 games "support" 1080p. However, that's with upscaling. PGR3 ran at 60FPS, but had a resolution of 600p. It was upscaled to 720p (or 1080i/1080p).

I find it suspicious that they used the word "support" instead of "native".

It's great that Blu-Ray has 50 GB. But we haven't seen a difference in terms of content. So far, the only problem for 2 games on the 360 is that Mistwalker loves video. HD video takes up huge space.

Halo 3 fits on 1 DVD and has 4 player co-op, saved videos, and forge.

If you have a PS3, you can play FFVII right now. Why do you want a remake?

Besides, FFVII was a great game for it's time. It came out late in the PS1 life cycle and had the best graphics then. Times have changed. It won't appeal to as many people as you think.

I suddenly gained interest in the game. I played the original DMC and was disappointed with the fixed camera. But the style was cool.
