Xbox LIVE was never down for a week. That is inaccurate. There were intermittent problems, that only some people encountered.
That does not mean "down". "Down" means 0 service, which never happened.

Terrific book, and lends itself very well to a game.
No. It doesnt prove that either. What it proves is that he can use a web-image search engine.
What it does prove is that the N4G submission system is being gamed. And that the article-author is laughing all the way to the bank with the traffic he is generating by posting his FUD.
Thats what it proves.
I made similar comments on this site. And, my comments were reported as spam, and i'm instantly down to 3 bubbles.
The SDF has turned N4G into their personal FUD factory.
How does pasting two pictures of awards prove anything? The story is illogical and ridiculous, but what it does do is help the SDF support their FUD.
Posting two pictures on a website proves nothing. And, like the two fantasy figures that are repeated for the frequency of heat-...
There are many alternatives to the Unreal Engine. It is chosen by Development houses instead of these other engines for reasons. Whatever those reasons -- I dont know, but the industry doesnt exactly have a lack of engines.
id has its Tech series that they are going to focus on licensing more, but the old engine (series4) was used in 3rd party titles.

Did you read this part:
""We've admittedly only got down and dirty with the PC version so far, but after questioning the producer about the 360 conversion he said something quite magical: 'It's the same game. It will be the same.' Superb."
The great news is that the Xbox 360 has the kind of horse-power to run games like Far Cry 2 and there is no end in sight. The games just keep getting better and better and better. Sweet.

This is crap, a "chat log" forwarded to Kotaku. they print it.
now, we get a 2nd story "EB Games dropping Xbox 360!!!1!"

If you like to play videogames, you should have an Xbox 360. Gears, Halo, Bioshock, ME are absolute must play games.
In 2008, there will be just as many great titles. If Too Human isnt your thing, there's dozens of other great titles coming.
"and it got canceled like 3 times."
Care to provide some evidence for this?

Also probable GotY possibilities:
1) Halo Wars -- said to be the first good / best RTS on a console, developed by Bungie & Ensemble(the Age of Empires series)
2) Huxley -- 120 simultanious "MMO FPS"
3) Left 4 Dead -- no doubt.
4) Ninja Gaiden 2
5) Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction -- great track record, incredibly innovative series
6) World in Conflict
Sakaguchi-san's Studio Mistwalker has two games in the pipeline exclusively for Xbox 360:

I can highly recommend both Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata. I got mostly burnt out on JRPGs on the PS1, and skipped most of the FF series on PS2.
I was really happy with the uniqueness and innovation in BD. You should look them up if you're a JRPG fan.
I was a little suprised to read this:
"What the 360 doesn't do, however, is drop a wireless Bluetooth signal, which is what happens fairly consistently on PS3. There's nothing like being in the heat of battle when Nero or Dante suddenly stops doing what you want him to. Of course, if this happens once or twice a mission"
I've heard of this problem before, but "once or twice a mission"? I doubt this could be just DMC4 only; this must occur in ...
With this new update, I thought this forum was supposed to be newly moderated.
Really, how could a "story" like this get reported?
There is no legal method for MS to _refuse_ to take them back -- its preposterous. Further, look at the source of this story "a chat" forwarded to Kotaku?
That such a story can be approved -- and none of these "moderators" are here to keep things realistic, is evidence that even these chan...
Are you honestly trying to say you believe this story? Its clearly FUD. You cant be serious.
Halo is one of the biggest franchises in the recent video-game industry. Halo 3 had the biggest launch in media history.
Halo 3 is the largest selling game, on the best selling console (excluding the Wii).
Halo has an enormous following of gamers, and has a reputation for excellence. Halo Wars is being written by the RTS masters who write Age of Empires in conjunction with Bungie.
Early reviews have said that Halo Wars has the best control scheme...
