P.S please bring the new brothers in arms game soon
Oh god yes please.
I thought you couldn't get to the edge of the galaxy because it was Gith space? Or something? Maybe I'm just mixing up my sci-fi universes...
Damn, oh well. Now I have to buy the game I suppose icon_razz.gif
I think it was someone at Nintendo who said "a game is delayed until it is released, but a bad game is bad forever"...
Oh man, if there was a series that deserved a HD collection re-release...
I can think of two words that will make you rage.

Who could play Dante?

Justin Bieber.
Or Sega gets them to make Metropolis Street Racer 2...!

2) It will be a stalemate with Sony to see who buckles first and announces a new one. To announce a new console is a sign of weakness and almost an admission of defeat. They're both neck and neck right now and doing well, neither will concede this generation yet.
Agreed. I remember when the PS3 launched they said it'd be a 10 year console; Microsoft was asked what they thought of that, and they said something along the lines of "the 360 will be supported a day longer than the PS3".

Rangers were just an excuse for cannon fodder
To be fair, that crashed Chinook level is vaguely related to a true story. A SEAL team was ambushed on top of a mountain so the Rangers were sent to rescue them, but their Chinook was shot down. Though in real life a second Chinook was there but couldn't land due to damage, so it set its Rangers down on a lower slope, and they proceeded to climb up the cliff to rescue them. Fiction is more believable than reality sometimes...

(The story can be read in the book "The Nightstalkers", which is a collection of true stories of the pilots of the black helicopters in the game, Black Hawk Down, etc)


I suppose from reading the review and some of the comments in that article/here people were disappointed because they were expecting a MW2-style epic storyline, but what they got was a more realistic "bunch of nothing happening then 5 minutes of intense battle, repeat". Real life usually doesn't usually have an end boss, but I guess that's what most people want...
I don't really get the hate for MoH. I picked it up cheap from zavvi recently, and the singleplayer campaign was great. The missions based on real-life situations, authentic sound effects, weapons handling, chatter etc... unlike the CoD series which has just gotten silly and doesn't even bother to pretend to be realistic anymore. GET RAMIREZ TO DO IT etc.

Maybe it's just that I have more of an interest in this sort of thing so I appreciate the effort that went into this game... but from reading around, a lot of the bad press seemed to have been because people were too busy having a hard-on for the pre-launch Black Ops hype...
I've been trying to finish FC2, I really have. But the same basic formula over and over again is really grinding away at my will to live. Just stop the checkpoints from respawning in less than 5 minutes and it'd be so much better...
I assume we're only allowed to enter once...?
I got about 9/10 of the way through the original game, but then the game disc stopped working. FFFFF
They made sure to get this out before the chants of "HERP DERP PC GAMES ARE DUMBED DOWN BECAUSE OF CONSOLES" began...
All I want is 4-player online campaign co-op. Include that and I'm sold.
Game of the year, or at the very least, most fun game of the year.

Obsidian = No buy until after 1gb of patches released
Fixed for my opinion.
Good review, the game sounds interesting (and I'm glad there's some sort of map system for collectables, I'm totally OCD when it comes to them but some games make it so difficult...). I'll pick this up once I've worked through my current pile of games (damn sales!).
Pretty much anything will be better than Oblivion's levelling system...
I happened to finish playing it yesterday. I actually enjoyed it a lot. I love the Front Mission games but I already knew it wasn't going to be like the main series, I expected it to be like the Mechwarrior games on Xbox, and that's exactly what I got. A spot of brainless blowing-up-robots fun.

I think the real problem is that everybody has too high an expectation for games nowadays, so run-of-the-mill titles get called "bad" when compared to titles that cost tens of millions of dollars to make... just because a title isn't the flashiest or most inventive thing in the world, doesn't mean it can't be fun. It's like saying that driving a car is only fun if you have a Ferrari.

Based on what? A few shots on in the trailer announcing the game's existence? I wouldn't take that as an indication of the GT being a 'hero car'.
Well, the Audi R10 was the focus of the Forza 3 debut trailer...
The hero car will be a Ford GT...? Isn't that a bit old now...?

Would've been nice if they'd actually fixed the graphical problems in Forza 3 (eg rear vision mirrors being backwards in some cars, racing cars having nonfunctioning dashes). Oh well.
"13 new race and pursuit events."

I hope that means actual new roads, and not just a re-dressing of the existing routes...

I really hope the new cars don't unbalance the current car series
Is it possible to unbalance a game that has rampant rubber-banding?! I've finished all the Racer missions and found that driving skill (or rather, not hitting stuff) is far, far more important than car choice. Each car is slightly different (eg a little bit more drifty, little bit better at ramming etc) but they're all balanced in such a way that you won't win/lose depending on what you pick.

The stats are a total lie anyway, eg the TT RS's top speed is claimed as 249kph but I remember hitting like 280 before needing nitrous, it has an artificially high top speed to allow it to compete with the other cars in the class.
Maybe I'm crazy, but haven't they declared EVERY Tomb Raider game since "Angel of Darkness" a 'reboot'?
Re: Kinectimals Review (2 years ago)
I think it's still enjoyable since it's essentially a collection of minigames pretending to be a pet simulator. The only thing that hurts it is that stupid assistant who doesn't get ****** for more than 5 seconds before annoying you again.
I hope they include a unicorn-riding costume as an unlockable.
Hope it's true, I absolutely adored Prototype... except for the infuriatingly difficult final battle, which took me about an hour of ready-to-throw-the-controller-at-the-wall frustration and anger.

(Funny, Red Faction: Guerilla was exactly the same way....)

Ugh. Investigative journalism fail.
I imagine you've mixed it up with the green zone in Baghdad, which was the area controlled by the Coalition forces. It has gotten a lot of mentions on the news over the years.

I think this is because Kinect Sports uses full skeletal tracking whereas Dance Central just uses your silhouette. It cuts out most of the lag but doesn't actually know where your arms/legs are, just where they may be from distinct shapes in the shadow such as elbows etc.
I believe the lag in something like Kinect Adventures comes from the time it takes for it to process your move and then display it on screen via the avatar, while Dance Central doesn't need to do that, it just highlights a limb that was moved a fraction of a second ago in the previous move. It doesn't appear to have lag because it's not showing you constant realtime information, it's showing you feedback on what you've just done.

At least that's the way it appears to me. I've only played about an hour or so of Dance Central.
I prefer Kinect Sports' implementation of avatars, you get full body control, so can dance around like a goon for hilarious results.

As for Kinect itself, I haven't sweated this much since... well, the last time I went to the gym, but you get my point. It's a great excuse to exercise while having fun.
Mass Effect MMO that will take 5 years and half a billion dollars to make, instead of just getting on with Mass Effect 3? icon_razz.gif
