Phantom Disagrees?
What did I say that was wrong? What did Erasmus, for that matter? View

Kingdom Hearts
... had a system where you built your own ships, but it was so severely underdeveloped that I never spent more than a few minutes with it. I'm glad Rare is stepping up and making a whole game around that concept, I might just have to get my 360 soon. View

Yeah, the video is kinda rough, but the fact that it took so long to pan through that entire list speaks to the heft of what's gonna be available. Holy crap. View

Agreed
And I'm glad a journo had the balls to call them out on it.

I have no problem with them moving over the 360 because of business reasons. It frustrates me a bit as a PS3 owner, but that's an excuse I can at least understand. But please, Squeenix, as someone who's bought nearly every one of your games since I was like 5, don't lie to me and tell me it's because you want to share the game with everyone and then proceed to "share" your games with just the Xbox 360. Bring Star Ocean 4 to the PS3 (and hell, bring it to the Wii, too, just to prove your point!). View

It'll be hard to argue that Alucard penned that quote, but it's a good one regardless. Really good list. View

Agreed. There are so many great franchises out there that simply aren't cut out for multiplayer, and there's nothing wrong with that; there are many other ways to prolong the life of your title, developers :) View

Aye
I realized that after it got approved, and now I can't edit the image anymore. Oh well... View

Is it just me...
Or did that also have Killzone 2 and The Agency in that 2008 montage? View

Deja vu
I think I've seen that interface before. Can't put my finger on it, though... View

I also wasn't a fan of the first Halo, but the second really raised the bar. Video game sequels don't seem to have the same stigma that movie sequels do. View

Killzone 2
I'm most interested in hear more about Killzone 2. Expectations are so ridiculously high for this game that I can't imagine it meeting them, but I hope I'm wrong. View

BioWare
One of the industry's best game studios was started by a doctor, a dungeon master comic book nerd, and a wood carver? How awesome is that!

Sure
I can definitely see EA being a great business partner, considering their resources, but I don't see most gamers complaining about how poorly they work with other studios: it's their effect on the industry as a whole that worries me.

Have they been improving lately? Hell yes: the new Madden has improved dramatically, Mirror's Edge and Dead Space are changing things up, Burnout Paradise was a great step forward for the franchise. It's a good start, but I don't wanna see them burn out due to over-exertion. View

Context Sensitive Buttons
Using context sensitive buttons might seem a little wonky to core gamers, but when done right, it's a much smoother control scheme. It doesn't work if you need to layer actions on top of one another, but for things like cover, Epic did the smart thing. View

All the more reason for them to push it into the future, where at least the weaponry has changed. View

Yes, popular perception of the PS3 is rising, but the only place I see the Wii's reputation falling is with core gamers; we're a vocal lot, but definitely a minority, and the consistently high Wii sales show that. The PS3 does, however, have a statistically higher rated selection of games, even if it is a degree smaller than its competitors, and I think that will help them reap some benefits in the long run.

My point: $249 is step 1, reclaiming the Playstation brand is step 2, and step 3 is profit. I'd go so far as to say $300 might do just as well if Blu-ray continues its rate of growth, but my crystal ball is in the shop. View

Good points.

I love my PS3 to death, but I don't see demand for it rising dramatically this generation when it's image continues to be in such flux. Whether that can be blamed on Sony, the media, or dumb luck is another discussion, but with frequent (and dramatic) firmware updates and a software library just now starting to hit its competitive stride, it's gonna take some aggressive marketing to pull it up.

Even at $249, people will still probably pick up a Wii because of its image. View

Dear Activision
You've done well so far to step up and compete with Rock Band. You've obviously decided to go one step further and bring on a sizable list of major musicians, and I respect that, too. That only does enough to put me on the fence between your product and EA's - if you can promise Tool and/or Dream Theater, you'll have a definite sale. View

See, I keep telling people that Tecmo's development of boob physics was good for everyone! View
