You're kidding right? Those aren't actual movies of real games running on real game hardware. They are prerendered movies. There is nothing real about them at all.
Sure they look pretty but nothing new or exciting. KillZone doesn't look all that much cooler than Battlefield 2
(finally, a pointing device for consoles so FPS and RTS console games can avoid suckage)
I do wonder why they even bothered with the second screen - I haven't seen many games that justify the expense of even having it
Have you played an FPS on the DS yet? I'm not sure how well this could be done with out the second screen.
The DS is still new. Give it a year or two. I'm sure we'll see some great uses of the 2 screens and maybe even the MIC in that time.
If game companies weren't so hell bent on NOT being innovative (They're more concerned with making a quick buck) we'd probably already be seeing good uses of the 2nd screen.
Try Meteos. When I first got it I was like.. eh.. yeah.. puzzle game.. but damn it's addiciting. I play a few games and then put it down only to find my self picking it back up 2 mins later to play some more. Especially during comericals. The 2 min time trial games are great for that. I haven't played Kirby in a while because of Meteos. Damn.
What's up with peoples lack of imagination these days?
It's fucking down right PATHETIC.
When I was younger I played the hell out of every NES game I could get my hand on and there was TONS of variety. It was great!
There is so much cool shit you could do with a game system that has 2 screens, a touch screen, A MIC!!! AND Wireless!! The possibilities are endless.
I swear to god though there are too many unimaginative people these days. You could stick them all in a room and tell them to brainstorm cool ideas for the DS and they'd be like "uhhhh.. uhm..... uhhh...hmmm... can it play grand theft auto 3: another fucking city?"
Seriously when you have sex do you ever try another position other than missionary?
Do kids these days decide they want to be a game developer NOT because they want to think of cool new games, but because.. well...fuck.. err.. is there any other reason? I mean.. Shit.. Making games these days must be as exciting as working on a fucking assembly line screwing the tops on bottles.
Don't you think the whole "insensitive clod!" thing is a bit played out on this site? Seeing it makes me want to puke. Seriously, can we think of some new funny thing to say? "insensitive clod!" has been exploited to it's full potential.
Uhm.. "which draw power from the engine." and their solution "which taps into the electrical system"
And where exactly does this electricity come from? The land of make-believe? No. The alternator produces it, which runs off the power of the car which in turn consumes gas so uhhh.. Tell me again how this saves gas?
Dude. Playing music is not something the PSP does well. It's far too big. 1gb flash players cost the same as a 1gb memory cart for the PSP.
Playing movies on the PSP is a real pain in the neck and the wallet. If you have more than 1 kid all bets are off. Can you imagine the fighting going on in the back seat? A few GBA SP's and a bunch of games would keep kids far more entertained.
I'm sure there are a few people out there who actually have a use for watching movies on the thing, but even then a portable dvd player would probably be a better choice for those people. I'm sure they can play music cd's and maybe even mp3's by now.
By that logic the ONLY thing that is in right now is Reality TV and GOD DAMN I HATE IT. Oh, and MAYBE Google and iPod are "in" but not much else really (that I can think of? Maybe Paris Hilton)..
I don't think "in" has to mean every single person in the entire fucking country wants to ride it's nuts. I mean.. that's like.. "really in". That's far surpassed just plain old "in".
My main point was that so many people are bashing nintendo for their "empty" box, yet what do we have for the PS3 and 360? NOTHING for the PS3 (just another empty box) and a pre-alpha dev kit that isn't even CLOSE to being a real 360? Exactly, another empty box. Pathetic!!
Nintendo's showing was no worse than Sony or MS it was just much less hype and that's it. As far as real substance goes Nintendo's showing was on par with everybody else.
How come nobody talks about how Sony's PSP E3 showing faired against the DS? Not so well.. Not so well at all. Yet not a single word about it anywhere.. WTF?
Did you get to play the game? Did ANYBODY get to play the game? Did you even get to see what that "Alpha dev kit" actually was? Do we even know for sure if it was an actual game, running on an actual dev kit for the 360 or are we just taking their word for it?

Don't be a moron. Those movies are PRERENDERED they aren't actual in game movies.
Go do a little research why don't you.
You can buy them used from GameStop or other places for around that. I've seen them any where from $79 to about $50.
I typed it during the heat of the moment.
Not even close my friend. Do you honestly want me to dig through my NES collection just to prove you wrong?
I still have most of my old games and I still play them.
I can describe today's games in an over simplified way too, you know.

Wow that really goes over your head doesn't it. I think the whole point is to undo the modding down of the post.
With out a doubt. It's a pile of crap.
Wow that sucks. are you unable to talk sense into her?
I usually act interested and then put them on hold until they hang up.
True, but not everybody who filters spam is like you. What about all those people who have an ISP that filters spam for them?
No, because it doesn't work that way. Anything and Everything is a good enough reason for them to feel like you might be interested in their product.
The fact that you had a magazine subscription ONCE in your life is enough to make you a potential customer for "Gerbil Enthusiast"

It's not all bad.
Their methods are fine for most of the myths they bust.
I didn't catch the entire episode, but I remember the conclusion being NOT to drive with your windows down.
Uhm.. "which draw power from the engine." and their solution "which taps into the electrical system"
And where exactly does this electricity come from? The land of make-believe? No. The alternator produces it, which runs off the power of the car which in turn consumes gas so uhhh.. Tell me again how this saves gas?
I use to wonder the same thing about almost every RPG ever made
Separate that is.

If I get a PSP it'll be for the games.
Personally, I'm a one-function guy
oh really? so when you build a new computer do you buy an all in one motherboard or do you buy a seperate video card, sound card and network card?
By that logic the ONLY thing that is in right now is Reality TV and GOD DAMN I HATE IT. Oh, and MAYBE Google and iPod are "in" but not much else really (that I can think of? Maybe Paris Hilton)..
I don't think "in" has to mean every single person in the entire fucking country wants to ride it's nuts. I mean.. that's like.. "really in". That's far surpassed just plain old "in".
It's like the great squirrel fire of '89
