I just called Gamestop in Illinois and they said 8/21.

You never have to buy the same game twice. Your account is universal.

...the people that agreed, or disagreed. I hope they realize that I was being sarcastic.

This is just the beginning of a huge downfall. I don't know how MS will recover from losing one day on Amazon. I'm really glad this was reported. I'm gonna throw my 360 in the garbage and get a Wii, now. Thanks N4G!!!

It wasn't honest about the real reason why Wii games "look like crap". I just gave the real reason. The Wii is a small white Gamecube for $250. Any advancements in the hardware are incidental. For example, the CPU is identical with the exception of a faster clock speed. If the Wii is more powerful than Xbox 1, then why didn't they port Far Cry from Xbox 1?

The video from yesterday showed about 15 guys moving in lockstep with each other. They all ducked simultaneously as if they were a single (bad) AI. Only 1 guy would attack. The others just patiently waited for their turn.

It is what we are taught in college. According to the latest design professors, architecture is godless and is supposed to elevate humanity. These professors (and some famous architects) practically raise themselves to the status of God. This is backwards thinking. Apparently, the makers of Bioshock agree with me.

Nintendo has the philosophy that graphics "don't matter". They completely abandoned advancements in graphics. Those that think the Wii is on par with Xbox 1 will be very disappointed. No Wii game will ever match Halo 1 in terms of physics, graphics, nor AI. The Wii just doesn't have the hardware.

We keep waiting for Sony to prove the power of the Cell. There is no evidence after 10 months in the market. Xbox 1 proved it's power over the PS2 on day 1 with Halo.

The game isn't coming out for a while on PS3 (if ever). There is no date for the PS3 version.

Speaking with GameSpot, a rep for Koei explained that the PS3 version of Fatal Inertia is on hold due to game-engine problems. "It's purely a middleware issue," the rep said, underlining the publisher's commitment to the PS3 platform. "We've always supported Sony and will continue to do so."

"Price gouging" is the wrong term. If Best Buy can sell a product at a higher price, that's good business. But Best Buy has been known to have cheap prices, hence the reason for their success.

...then why did we advance past board games? Is he saying that all video games have to have collectible coins, bright colors, and clickity-clank-bleep-bloop noises?

Xbox Live has far more content and has been out for a whole year longer.

I was thinking about a game that took place during the time of Christ. We could witness the fall of Herod's kingdom and the turmoil of Herod's family. We could also witness the Apostles, John the Baptist, and Jesus in Judea and Galilee. It could be like Oblivion, or KOTOR. You could be a Roman Soldier or a disciple of Christ.

The creator of Tetris made Hexic and it was very good. I wonder how Hexic 2 will turn out.

There's a ton of potential for a game based on the Bible. It isn't "Bibleman", though.

The start screen for GTA Vice City was an imitation of the Commodore 64 boot-up screen? Also, the C64 sold for just $200 U.S. in the 80s.

The new gaming PC looks good, though.

The game is good, but I have zero tolerance for dipping framerates and mediocre texture work. If you turn in a circle, half of it is 60 FPS and the other half is 24 FPS. It puts a damper on shooting. It's as if the developer had 100 guys working on the game and then put the pieces together at the last minute.

We need to see some examples of the power of the PS3. That's all I'm saying. I have no clue regarding the technology of the Cell. All I know is what Sony promised and all I see is what Sony delivered. The 360 has proven to be the most powerful console, based on the games.
