...but not forgotten. I'd still put Soul Calibur and RE:Code Veronica up against anything out today. The last great gasp from one of my favorite companies (I was a true fanboy- I bought everything Sega, even when buying Nintendo and Sony). "Thanks, for the memories..."
I have SMG but haven't played it yet, having just finished my first playthru of Mass Effect (great story line- Wrex for Best New Character IMO). I've played Bioshock and would put it up for GOTY with any other game this year. With the mod changes that disable the Vita Chambers I'm sure that someone will figure out a multiplayer mod shortly. Whether or not they can make it online is the question. And the last I heard, for everyone saying that Bioshock is just a prettied up System Shock 2- SS2 ...
...this is not neccessarily GamePro saying that these are the best games, in order, to buy for the 360- just that they are their top 11 (as opposed to your own top 11 picks). Second, "About 90% of that list are just 5 hour generic shooters." What? Even if 90% are shooters (I didn't count) they are among the best shooters available. Half-Life 2 generic? COD4 generic? Halo 3- well maybe (and before you complain, I have all 3 games in the series, so I'm speaking from experience. The mu...
...it's not from this year but TES IV:Oblivion is still my favorite next-gen (shouldn't that be current gen by now?) RPG, but, saying that, I have spent at least 16 of the last 48 hrs playing Mass Effect using both a male and female Commander Shepard of different orgins. I'd like to get Eternal Sonata- it's just so different that I think I'd enjoy it. Havent heard of Persona 3- what is it and what system is it for?
...I guess all the folks who died at Pearl Harbor on Dec 7 1941 bled white not red. I know moral standards are different (espescially regarding porn- you can see intercourse in Japanese filcks but pubic hair is taboo? WTF?) but censoring blood is a bit ridiculous.
at the age of 5 (not hurt but the apartment was toast- no pun intended) I hope the kid gets better soon and that he recovers emotionally as well. In my case, it was learning that grease fires and water don't mix. If you're a parent, make sure you have a working all purpose fire extinguisher and that the young ones know how to use it. It pays to be prepared.
...SMG and AC today. I guess I'm fortunate enough to still appriciate a great game, even if many feel that it is strictly a kiddie game. I grew up with the 2600 and everything since and I still cling to the classics, especially when each iteration still seems fresh. Next week I'm getting Mass Effect so maybe it's just me- I like great games of any type from any company (R&C is finally the game the PS3 needs to justify the purchase- no not Lair, Warhawk, HS or R:FoM). God of War 3 will als...
..of any really great weapons in console games but as for pc games, I'd go with the BFG 9000 from the classic Doom. For a completely off the wall #1, I'd take the Cane of Corpus from Wizardry 7. For RPG geeks it's +4 to hit, 14-16 damage, causes poison damage, crititcal hits (i.e. 1 hit kills), paralyze and can turn your opponent to stone. Only for Faerie ninjas (the hardest character to roll for in Wizardry as far as bonus points go), in the hands of a high level character it can easily do t...
...to get Kratos back in action. Whoever does this title (since the 2 main guys left) needs to make sure that they keep the epic feel and scope of the game intact. I want to hear full orchestral music for all levels. I want Kratos and the Titans to take on what I expect to be Zeus's main allies- Poseidon and Hades- in huge boss battles. I want Kratos to meet his step brother- the mighty Hercules! Let's get ready to rumble! (pun intended)
As the proud owner of both Sega and Nintendo's 8 & 16 bit systems I foundly remember the heated debate of which was the better system. Being a dedicated sports fan, the Sega Sports line sold it for me. There were so many great games released for both systems that it's a shame that some of them haven't been released to the VC on Wii (the primary reason that I bought one). Bring back Joe Montana's Talking Football!
...any of the Silent Hill games but I might look them up. Does it matter what order you play them in?
...codeazreal. I wandered over here from G4 and it's nice to see your well reasoned statements on things. As for this so called story, I'm at the point where I need to see this to believe it. If the new $399 PS3 gets released here in the US before the end of the year, I will be getting it and pick up FF13 (a series I gave up on after the disaster that was FF10- boring!). LBP and Drake's Fortune are also titles I'd be interested in. Until then, I'm going back to get the final achievments in Bi...
... that I haven't read the other article but it seems to me that the only real reason MS would launch a new console would be because Blu-ray wins the current format war. If all developers are determined to produce their future games on blu-ray, then the 360 will be essentially abandoned. MS will then have to make the descision to either embrace the new format or leave the console market. Unless their is another storage format lurking unseen that will appear in the next few years, this is, IM...
Halo: Return of the Forerunners. Or they could do a Marathon update that involves the recovery of MC ala Captain America waaaay back in the fisrt volumne of The Avengers (issue 4 I think or maybe 16- it's been awhile).
Considering how long the kid has been doing this and what he has been stealing, just making him take the stuff back would not be effective in keeping him from repeating his actions. Mom was obviosly tired of his crap and called in the police. Good for her, especially since the kid was stealing gun clips and knives. Seriously, do you think if the kid slipped up and surprised someone at their home while he was ripping them off, that the victim wouldn't press charges against him? Even if he retu...
.. a significant day for gamers. Mass Effect and Uncharted both release on the 20th, as well as 2 other AAA titles the names of which escape me now (but they were mentioned on G4's The Feed last night). We'll get to see a head to head comparison in sales for all these games but really, only same genere games should be compared. I have ME reserved already. It looks to be a great season for games...
...only time will tell. After these particular rumors for so long, I will have to see it to believe it. As someone suggested, this may be a ploy by Sony to keep these games in the media spotlight, since there is a slight chance that they may be forgotten during the holiday season (sucks to be an 2008 game for any console). Where is Miss Cleo whem you need her?
..is that they are bringing back TechTV- or at least The Screensavers with Kate and Leo. God, if only this were true...
but enough of the puns. First, greetings to Spike47 & Dmack. I've seen them on the G4 site, and while I don't always agree with them, they are 2 of the more reasonable Sony fans around. The dual hammers of Bioshock and Halo 3 does get MS off to a great start, but this is still September. Will H3 still be doing gangbuster sells by December? I don't think so. As an rpg fan I'm waiting for Mass Effect- I'll buy H3 but shooters come after rpg's, turn based strategy and action/adventure genres...
...all those who hate on the Wii (as for game it would be Two Worlds- why I let myself get talked into buying that weak POS- a total waste of $60). We as gamers are getting older and Nintendo, as a company, is still focused on a family centric product that's both affordable and fun. They looked at what happened to Sega by trying to constantly outdo their competition and decided to go in another direction. Props to them I say- it's been said that they will lose a billion dollars because they c...
