The first sign of the much-debated in game advertisements has now made it into City of Heroes. So far, there appears to be only one ad, a billboard-size poster advertising JETER CLUTCH sneakers. British players needn't worry about seeing this particular ad, as they won't be able to, whether they play on American servers or not. The ads are regionally targeted, so only those that are appropriate for a given audience will show up. We've not yet received any reports of what the UK players see instead, though some players have found a cached image of Statesman standing near a Union Flag.
From Xfire: "It's been estimated that roughly half of the video games ever released on the market can no longer be downloaded or purchased. Whether this is exactly correct is not the point. Rather, we think that either way, the video game industry, as a whole, has done a terrible job at preserving video games and making older titles available to play for future generations."
You can play all of these games still lol. The headline is just misleading. Funny is that there is not one game in the list that you really can't play anymore due to it being online only games.
One you actually legit cannot play AT ALL is Noby Noby Boy. I miss turning my brain off and messing around in that game, was so psyched to re-download it when i rebought a ps3 slim, but you cant, even if it's in your downl library, along with a few other obscure PS3 games i had.
I would replace Transformers Devastation with War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron tho.
Transformers Devastation was good but not as good as Fall and War of Cybertron they should be on the list. SH 2 I can play any time I want since it came free in a $10 Xbox I bought used. The Simpsons Arcade I have on my PS3 surprised the Xmen Arcade game is not on this list or the Turtles arcade game either.
HPP: Continuing our rankings of superhero games of the past three decades, here are our rankings for the top superhero video games of the 2000s.
It might be a new decade, but I’m going to make the same old mistakes and try to predict what I think will happen in free-to-play gaming over the next calendar year. Joining me on this descent into madness will be Q and Mike, who’s choices on my predictions will be added after they’re made on the Free-to-Play Podcast...
I think it gives it a more realistic feel in the environment your playing in. If it helps support the game then I'm all for in-game ads. Burnout Paradise has them I don't notice them at all unless someone mentions it.
ads in fantasy games, games set in the far future BAD
look how MGS4 did product placement.... THATS how it should be done.
Lol, "cox"
games already use in-game ads like ppl said. If it becomes more intrusive is another story like seeing an ad between a loading screen or something if there are still loading screens in the future a lot of games I play now cutting them out.
as long as its not a pop up or something that interrupts gameplay.
like someone said it adds to the scenery. i liked the billboards in burnout paradise too.

and from what i read, kojima did approach a few companies about using their beverages in mgs4. they came up with narc because they all declined. with the excellent sales and reviews for mgs4 i'm sure they are regretting it now.
