ACtually, I was only at a friends house recently and they told me of a cild that has difficylty in controllinghis muscles coordination, and using the Wii and Wii-Fit helps him a great deal in becoming more dexterous.
I also know that by using my cames I can deal with pain a great deal more than if I don't. They use console games over at Royal Northshore Hospital Burns Unit with kids. It helps them 1) remove their current thoughts away from the pain, and 2) helps produce adrenali...
Girls LOVE them . . which might be another idea to have one hehehe.
One side of me like the idea of free apps, but the other has me think about the guys that make these apps. They do so to make a profit, now Xbox is saying, no, you can't make a profit, just make apps for us for free, but if you want to download something off XboxLIVE that is an app, then by all means - you WILL have to pay for it.
See the double standards there.Unless Apple reward developers with some return, why would they bother creating apps for the XboxLIVE if they get paid t...
A lot more ppl than you think my-man . . . okay, you like killin' Nazi's, then grab Wolfenstien and have fun in a scfi-experience. BUt if you want to know the real meaning of real wars, then you need not look further than this game atm, because it deals it up in spades, and then some.
Like I've said before, some games ()cough like you cough) simply will not get it for the fact you don't kill big bosses and chop off the heads . . sad fact, but true. Run back to the other side of t...
So you DO agree with ME then . . . great, so we agree that this game is great and it will be a benchmark for realistic shooters . . . on ANY platform. SO you wan't buy it because it's NOT a PS3 exclusive . . While Resistance was good, it feel down in many areas, just read some of the reviews. And Killzone, well it looks great, but you are looking at two distinctly different sub-genre's here.
Those two you mention are scfi shooters, certainly not real-world senarios or events SO t...
Well if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen chum. . . .
Try checking the link out in the article that takes you to the MOH series report. It too is suggested to be following a real life campaign in 2002 called Operation Anaconda in the Middle East.
You'll see that Gearbox are no longer the only ones dealing in real-world conflicts . .
I've always wanted it from the word go when it was first announced prior to the release of the Hill 30 game. They have even made it so the bazooka team leader has his own bazooka, so you just can't drop it and pick up another. It has it's own nick name painted on the side called "Stella" . . trying to make it even more 'personalized'.
Which is something the men at war did in those days more than they do now.
True for other games where they glorify war, and make it cool to do headshots etc. BUt this one has you get into the shoes of real ppl . . . if anything, it over sensitizes you to a point where you become aware of everything going on around you, because if you aren't, you're dead, simple as that.
Agreed, games like Bad Company, even COD series etc do desensitize gamers, but are used in a different way with military personal. The aim there is to make the solder more away of how t...
Glad you liked it, the author has some background in war history as a teacher, so he's well versed in the area, which gives it a better tone than just someone putting 'an article' together. If you know what I mean . . ?!
The guys at Gearbox are actual Vets, who came together and wanted to shed light on war through the medium of games. They have branched out into other genre's of course, and are expanding, but the main guys behind it are war vets. So it gives you some idea of why they approach war games as they do.
I think you're missing the point mate.
Gearbox are not trying to compete with games like Turning point (fictional war games ie COD4, Turning Point, Bad Company, Arm Of Two, Frontlines, COD5 etc etc). It's about real campaigns based on real facts with real characters. Their aim is to show gamers that war as an entity was NOT a glamourous thing, that every move you made had dire consequences and that you really did have a daily battle.
Not against the Bosses, but agai...
I look at this way, if a developer goes to great lenths to make a game as real as possible, follow the history of a campaign, lik ethis one where you don't "win" and you don't beat all the "bosses" Because if you did, then you'd win the game dahhh. But when they do it like this, then it will ideally make gamers sit up and take note.
That Life is not about whether or not you"win" at everything you do, but about how you go about things, and what you achie...
The Falcon MM's were/are notthe ones with the isuues, that was the earlier Mother boards. The newer one have even less return that what is considered normal for hardware returns in the industry.
I have friends and staff at both Game and EB's and they all say that their returns for the newer models is almost negligible to say the least. The new Opius Mother board will be out by the end of the year, if not already being included with this new batch of 60 gig run.
That...
No you can't - so that screws that. MS have done a decent job on making it that way. Unless you're a hoorder or music hog, you really don't need monster HDD's. The 360 basic design is not as a storage device, but a hub as a MM channel which plays games.
If you have an iPod, or any MP3 palyer stacked with music file, run it through the 360, it's what it's designed to do. DO you need to sore every DLC and demo or even Arcade game . . not, not really. I have the 20Gig HDD, it still...
Props are not supposed to be Quick , but you need to explain that to Howard Huhges, as if it wasn't for him, many a prop speed record and modern flight as we know it, using props would never of happened.
Try watching The Aviator and you'll understand.
It's a stand alone Arcade game, so warrants a review like any other arcade game does. So will the ones to follow, whether the Main Game is released, or not.
Yes it does, no difference in them they format when you fit them to your 360 . .
But that's true of everything really. We can't expect companies to rebate us when they upgrade product. Or change their Hardware as they improve it. It's just a calculated risk in retail life really.
A friend works at Apple, so if she knows of anything likely to change soon (they are always told last - that's just how it is) she tells customers that if they don't mind waiting, then they should as here could be a new hardware release soon
This has worked in her favour...
That's great to hear. I found out gaming helped me by fluke . . .
I've had pack pain (Chronic and Unremitting Pain) since 1981 . . yes, people were alive then . . (and I was 26 at the time - so that makes me . .Well you work it out hehehe) It wasn't until in the late 2002 early 2003 that I started using the Xbox as a stand in while looking after someone. The pain was always there, but I noticed that when playing FPS and Racing games (TOCA), my level of adrenalin would obviously i...
