rtfa, not only a $20 price cut, but 5 free hd dvd movies. As expensive as these things are, your getting at least a $100 in bonuses. This might make me go out and get one, provided I could get the season 1 of heroes as one of my 5.
Am I the only one that absolutely loved this game? I didn't experience any of the slowdown mentioned in the review. Perhaps the turning problems were due to overloading the ship with heavy weapons? Furthermore, the HUD was perfect for displaying not only mission objectives, but also side objectives, enemy and friendly targets, weapon ranges, overheating levels, etc. I don't think it was overly complicated.
As far as your wingmen are concerned, I agree that they were pretty much useless, and only got in the way of my bullets. However, unless you actually shot them down, you don't lose points.
I would have liked more explanation of the submissions, however I think this enhances the replay value, as after you beat the game you can go back and try to figure out what the submissions are. paying attention to the storyline being played out in the upper left hand corner of the screen turns out to be important for completing the submissions (I originally ignored the inane chatter my first time through the game, when I actually paid attention the next go-round and saved the people asking for help I unlocked medals like crazy).
are you also skeptical of willow bark being used to treat headaches, aloe plants being used to soothe sunburns, and mold being used to treat infections? drugs come from plants.
I agree. The NES MAX had everything. Pseudo-analog controls, with that clever thumb holder, and turbo features that rivaled the highest turbo setting on the NES ADVANTAGE. I remember playing the old konami track and field game, a button mashing extravaganza, and my buddy had the NES ADVANTAGE and I had the NES MAX, and we would just hold down our respective turbo buttons and tie every time.

no, to crash it, you tell it to play against itself. then it realizes that in the game of thermonuclear warfare, there is no winner.

And Popeye thought that his strength always came from spinach. No wonder Bluto was always kidnapping her.

Perhaps he would be more recognized here on slashdot as the author of Don't Panic: The Official Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy Companion.
from what I remember, the advantage had a dial that you could adjust the turbo setting with, the max didn't

What's the over/under that this technology will be bought by ford / gm and killed in development?
