Yeah, I didn't even know the original Xbox had analog facebuttons until I played DOA Volleyball or whatever its called..that game used it for some reason...
Isn't there a difference between "Soundtrack" and "Score"?
i.e., Something like "Best Score" should be included in a legitimate video game awards show. (Altho that doesn't exist).
The article even says it..."Unsurprisingly, the reason these games have been nominated isn't because they feature charming, interesting, moving symphonic scores."
Soundtrack is different and what this is representing.
But it will be about a couple of current generation games.
Seriously, there are great games from this generation, last generation and all the way back to Pong.
I also think your want to go back and play them is determined by how easily you can get a hold of something to play them with. SNES, NES, and Genesis games are easy to go back and play because of the emulators that are out there.
When an emulator comes out way down the line for a Gamecube, how many of you will probably go back and play The Wind Waker or Metroid again, or Prince of Persia, Sands of Time? I think I will be one of those people.
But seriously, there's great games from all the generations.
In Super Metroid, where you have to use your missiles to push that creature into the acid. You then run back the way you came....
I remember jumping out of my chair when the skeleton of that thing popped out of the acid again...only to crumble again.
Also, basically the entire ending of that game...it invoked a lot of emotion without ever having one word of dialog...
Yeah, I'm going to have to agree. The article is pretty even handed towards games, and the end of the article just notes some of the similarities between all the school shootings, maining focusing on the isolated communities as being a large cause.
You don't own the game anymore than you own the music when you buy a CD. You own the license, and probably the medium its printed on, but you don't own the source code. If you actually did own it, you could put your name on it, all copies of it, and sell it as your own, which doesn't make sense at all.
Would someone steal a whole bag just to get a game?
The thief was probably looking to get some money out of other mail that was in there, and he'll probably just throw the disc aside (if he even knows what it is).

I think you misplaced his comma...
What's a "cofee"?

Enjoy not gaming past current gen ever again.
LoL...Boondock Saints...starring William Dafoe...sorry it was funny...
I think you mean "Broken Saints"

Possible problem with this is, will anyone spend $300 on a machine that would do that, when a computer can do that and so much more?
Perhaps tho, it could possibly be more of an incentive for parents to buy for their kids, but I don't think it will be a major selling point for it.
But I know I'll probably download some of the games from the XBL service and play them.

I just re-installed linux last night, and enlightenment is my WM of choice...go over to the website....dum dee dum....
It was released today? WTF?
Weird coincidence...ok proceed to mod this down...

Check out this free implementation of it....

I never played the original, but this game was really fun!
They try to push those super surge protectors on you for like $50.
$50?!?! That thing better be able to stop the bolt of Zeus.
Is this that big of a deal?

I have Windows XP and I've used FC 1 and just upgraded to FC 2....I've never had any trouble booting into either....
wear a mask or a face covering when your outside? Granted it's a little extreme, but I don't think it's against the law...
