The Sixth Axis writes: "Here at TSA we like to think we're an open-minded bunch of guys. We don't really have any particular ties to any one system apart from the obvious fact that we like talking about the PS3 on the site – we're certainly not official in terms of PlayStation reporting and there's nothing stopping us flicking a switch one day that means we're now able to start writing about other consoles. Naturally, most of our readership are PS3 fans, so we'll always concentrate on making sure you guys are getting the most out of your big black box, but we're far from fanboys, so here's the first in a series of sideways looks at the competition: the Xbox 360.
For some reason, the playground rivalry that existed when I was a kid – the ZX Spectrum vs the Commodore 64 – is still thriving, but the advent of the internet has meant that instead of scrapping on the hopskotch chalk we're slinging insults from the safety of our keyboard. Whilst the Wii enjoys a slightly off-kilter fanbase that doesn't concern itself with the goings-on in the wonderful world of HD gaming, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 fanbases are often entirely mutually exclusive, and for all the wrong reasons. Here's the bit that might shock you: I personally don't have a preference for either console, and here's why I think you shouldn't either."
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Depends on what you like. Not everyone needs a 360 and PS3.
I agree with Llyod on the 1st comment. ( THATS A CHANGE)
Agree with Toast to and DragonWarrior.
The points givin were
Exclusive Games
Better Multiformat Titles
Live Arcade
For the people who will comment , you can't really front on the site it's from thesixthaxis.com
but yeah like Llyod said It's not everybody that is willing to Spend money for another console just to play a Few exlusive games that are not available on their console.
I'm looking foward into owning all of them at one point though.
Uncharted2 / SplinterCell Combo FTW.
I already have a paperweight for my desk.
xbox live,xbl is an amazing online experince
360 also has amazing exlusives coming,the amazing looking convection,halo odst looks so much fun,alan wake looks so unique,forza 3 which looks incridable and mass effect 2 which looks to fix every
technical issue seen in me1
to be honest,the xbox 360 is a must have system and it's cheap price and guys believe me,a service like xbl would make a fresh new game like MW2 a much better experince,it's all connected
Commodore 64 all the way. the commodore's graphic chip set was able to handle a 8 coloured 16x16 sprite with a FPS clocking near 5. While the spectrum could only handle 8 colours in a 8x8 sprite and FPS of 2.
You been PWND spectrum!!!
