When will these "multi-nationals" get their head round currency conversions. $1 does not equal £1. For Sony and their "netbook" it is going to be a tough sell for Sony especially in the netbook arena with dirt cheap offerings from Acer, Asus, HP et al.

Even $899 for a Netbook is pricey, here is hoping reality enters Sony's plans for this one.

Without taking a dig a Microsoft in specific you would think these "geniuses" at MS, Sony & Nintendo would have thought about simple things such as the above one.

Despite the good points for all the consoles there still exists a lot of stupid little botch ups that seems to leave these companies with egg on their face and their refusal to address them just adds to it.

Oh Well.

And guess what. PSU ripped the video of the original finder of the video www.newsgroup247.com and tried to claim it as their own. Unbelievable.

It was shot in the Asia Game Show in Hong Kong. I was lucky enough to get a few rounds in on the game and it is essentially SF2 with a new graphical engine. Everything else is pretty much the same albeit some new characters too. I enjoyed the game but did not come away amazed as it is really more of the same. But that will be enough for most including me, the multiplayer aspect will make this game sink or swim.

Just wait for it to load. It is a live forum with a fair bit of traffic so it might take a while. I use firefox and it loads fine.

The loading screen can be rotated via the six-axis controller.

You are correct. Ken was AI.

What did you think of the video?

@ Da l33t Monkey. You are totally right. This is nothing to do with video games. The kid is an idiot, a psychopath and someone who should be fried. If he is not punished appropriately the US Government are opening a can of worms that will be hard to close.

And speaking of US, why is it that this crap almost always comes from there?

Resistance 2 is a great game. CooP mode is excellent.

360 is a PC developers dream, just tinker a little bit with the PC version and it works on 360. PC developers have never been known for their commitment to hard work and problem solving. That why PC games are so plentiful, zero accountability and benchmarking. It's a free for all.

So whilst I give Bethesda kudos for releasing Fallout 3 on PS3, I lament their slipping back into the comfort zone on DLC. PR speeches are worthless especially ones that talk about how "they should...

But then again most console/game ads are high production values with low substance. Throw this one of the pile.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just market the 360's redeeming qualities. Netflix, exclusive titles. online games etc.

If you are targeting gamers why not tell them why they should pick up a 360/PS3/Wii.

Creative concept nowadays would be to actually tell the consumers what they are buying, instead of this overpriced slop.

Whilst Xbox Live is a great service, it shows a certain degree of aloofness when guys like Moore suggest WE should appreciate blah blah.

In reality MS, Sony, Nintendo should come out and express their appreciation for us, the fans, for supporting their latest efforts. When companies flick us the middle finger like Sega, Atari etc we have shown we have the power to take them down. Don't forget that Moore.

This game was surprisingly fun and refreshing on the PC. Hopefully the Wii version is the same with some nice extras on it. After all the PC version is free whilst Wii probably costs some.

....seriously wounded at the moment. But not dead.

But being seriously wounded does not mean good games won't go to PC. Infact some games go to PC and not PS3 but that's a different discussion altogether.

But heavy piracy does not help PC gaming causes as a commercially strong platform. Also looks at sales on console vs. PC. some reports go as low at 14% of total sales being PC. That must come down to piracy and also the fact that consoles are a better economic inv...

Neither Gears2 nor Resistance2 will be highly innovative given they are sequels.

But the bottom line is that both games were great and we should expect more of the same only better.

As for Gears2 being better than Resistance 2, that's all in the opinion polls. I prefered Resistance but I can totally understand why others would prefer Gears.

In any case lets hope they are both as good as the build promises.

Very unfortunate news, even worse when reading the circumstances.

I'll offer a thought for the young lady and her close family.

The perpetrator does not need to be mentioned.

We should all shed our shed our allegiances and offer a prayer to those who suffered because of this event.

R.I.P.

Having seen the videos of the game it is clearly heavily based on the PS2's Hulk: Ultimate Destruction which was one of the finer games on that platform.

It seems Sega & Co have indeed followed that formula and improved upon ir with Iron Man Hulk Busters & other unlockables, fingers crossed for a great game.

Surely Sega can not have the stones to release two back to back Marvel-ous turkeys......can they?

It's only be being critical of a product that the next installment can evolve.

If a bad product is clung to and not criticized then we can expect the same dross the next time around.

We as gamers should be astute as telling the difference between (1) a good effort that could be better and (2) a shoddy release with no heart whatsoever. Example: (1)Lair vs (2)Pro Evolution Soccer 08

Fanboys whatever their addiction can be stifling a products developments b...
