First of all, they really didn't create health regeneration in games, they just made it come into the mainstream. Even after Halo, Call of Duty was really the series that made the old health systems fade away.

Second, Halo's multiplayer was great, but Killzone 2, Call of Duty [series], Socom, Counter-Strike, and Team Fortress [1&2] all kept my attention l...
I have a feeling that it had more to do with ODST being released and marketed as another HALO game. Price cut = small increase. Halo game release = typical large increase in 360 sales.
meh, I enjoyed playing through it last night, but I have some complaints.
Firefight was not as exciting as horde mode was, even playing split screen while drinking didn't change that. The night maps were pretty cool though in comparison with the daytime maps. They felt more intense.
The campaign started off so slow. Both myself and my roommate (who is a die hard halo fan) became bored, switched to firefight, and got bored again. Plus, once he found out that the mu...
hah! but I think they'll save a Gears announcement for a keynote with an audience in the States. Maybe a big reveal next E3?
yeah. I hope they add new super weapons that can be used after beating the game or something. I'd pay a dollar or two for some crazy ratchet and clank style gun that could be used in the single player..
Out of my roommates and I, all three of us have had at least one 360 fail. One of us has had three failures (one within the warranty, launch console). Personally, I've had my PS3 fail on my once as well (stopped reading discs within the warranty period).
This is unacceptable, but the games are too good for me to stop playing..
That's nice. I see "clan tag" is still a menu option, but how about some actual Clan Support?
First of all, for nintendo, Mario is a core game. Maybe not Hardcore in the traditional sense of a gamer, but it is a core game. Nintendo's software has done well on the Wii, just like it's past systems. On the other hand, third party developers haven't really made strides in making many decent, or even half-way decent, games for the Wii in comparison with the 360 and PS3.
does it matter anyway? Forza and GT both kill this game.
It's EA man. They milk the same thing over and over and only change when they need to. Look at madden. It's barely changed in all honesty. But it sells like hot cakes so EA keeps releasing a Madden every year instead of a yearly roster update and a new game every other year.
Gabe, you crack me up every time I log in here.
On topic: I thought it was widely accepted that the PS3 was more powerful than the 360, just as the X-box was more powerful than the PS2. As far as I knew, it was just fanboys that didn't believe it. Even Microsoft never said that the 360 was more powerful (to my knowledge anyway). Aside from power though, its the games that tends to draw me to a console by the end of a generation.
At most big companies, like the hospital my father was CIO at before retirement, they are nice when letting big name employees go. They fired a CEO, for good reason, and yet his resume states that he left to pursue job opportunities at other hospitals.
Hell yeah, can't wait for this game to come out!! +Bubs to R&C Lovers!
On a side note: does anyone else wish you could skip Clank missions after the first or second playthrough? I mean, I love Clank, but going through IRIS in ToD 5 or 6 times was annoying. At that point I just wanted to blow crap up!
my gf wants one. people that aren't hardcore gamers searching the internet for news love nintendo and always will.
Nah, I haven't had a history-related class in at least 5 or 6 years. Napoleon found Antarctica for the Russians right?
i liked the controls, but i feel that a game like COD wouldn't work as well considering the fact that its a faster, twitchier game. Killzone had finesse and lots of skill is needed to dominate multiplayer, whereas COD is made to be more of a shooter for everyone.
As far as the hip firing thing, COD was really the first game to completely remove accuracy when not aiming down the sights. Taking Counter-Strike into account, you never aim down the sights unless you're sniping. In...
I believe the point of this was to make finding new content and specifically content on the Playstation Store pertaining to the games you've recently played easier to find and access. Also, the visuals and interactiveness of the XMB has been greatly improved. The PSN is slow now, but I believe that will change once millions aren't trying to download and connect to it all at once.
Some sort of Nazi Zombies mode would be cool, but I completely agree with their decision to ignore WaW. Cod5 was so unbelievably bad that I rented it and returned it the second day.
Killersmoke, relax. its a joke. The guy's xbox red ringed so he beat the crap out of it and lit it on fire. it's not like these have ever caught on fire.. [or have they?]
Regardless of the number of people that won't like it, I don't see the sales numbers being all that amazing off the bat. I think that Heavy Rain will be more of an evergreen. It may sell low numbers consistently, but in the long run, it will be a widely known great game. But we won't truly know the full extent of the quality until release.
