  1. Re:Gosh on Games and the 'Geek Stereotype' · · Score: 1

    I played Zelda for nearly an hour and just couldn't play any longer. Haven't been able to pick it up again. I don't know if it was just too easy, or made for the younger crowd but I just couldn't play it. Perhaps it was the graphics that reminded me of pokemon. Blowing things up and shooting things interests me more.

  2. Re:Like, WTF? on Brazilian Rocket Explodes on Launch Pad · · Score: 1

    I agree with what you said. This might not seem like a big deal to you, but I consider it one. I think it's great Brazil is interested in space, I wish them the best. I hope their next launch is very successful. Perhaps one day different countries will really work togather to create something half decent in space, not a useless ISS. Maybe they'll team up with China and build a moon colony. Not sarcasm by the way.

    Pick up wolfenstein, awesome game. Well worth the $30 used pricetag. Voice communication owns.

    No word on Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? This game looked awesome, was really looking forward to it this Winter. Guess I wont have to wait now...

    Actually Trip Hawkins invested a ton of his money out of pocket to keep 3DO from going bankrupt alot earlier.

  6. Re:I wish for the old days on The State of the Game Console Wars · · Score: 1

    I agreed somewhat the FPS do not belong on consoles and hated not having a mouse. Do yourself a favor and pickup Wolfenstein and Xbox live, setup a nice entertainment system, connect to Xbox live and play for awhile. Nothing beats it, when you get a good team anyway. Voice communication needs to be more mainstream on PC. Ignore list is getting huge. I shit you not I heard one kid who actually said, "L O L" And "W T F" He said the letters. Pure entertainment.

  7. Re:That's easy on The State of the Game Console Wars · · Score: 1

    I've heard the exact opposite, but I don't know for sure. What I do know is they are more expensive to develope for, and take more money from you.

  8. Re:Microsoft Propaganda As Always... on The State of the Game Console Wars · · Score: 1

    She didn't actually lie. Different places are always claiming different numbers. The only way you'll get a real accurate number would be to get behind the lines at MS and Nintendo.

  9. Re:numbers? on The State of the Game Console Wars · · Score: 1

    I think the numbers are a bit off, Outside the US Gamecube and Xbox are pretty close, in the US I think Xbox is beyond 2 million ahead. But I haven't seen any figures recently. By the way I own 2 ps2's, 3 xbox's and 1 gamecube. Sad aint it? 3 xbox's = own for wolf on xblive

    You own a Gamecube right? Just a shot in the dark../shrug I think everyone I have ever heard claim nintendo isn't kiddie was a fan of Gamecube. Nothing against gamecube, Eternal Darkness owned.

  11. Re:It's still just a beat 'em up on Grabbed By The Ghoulies - Grasped · · Score: 2, Insightful

    According to you 90% of the games out there aren't repetetive? I mean take a dozen random games, and see if you are just doing the same thing over and over. You either build army - kill other guy run around collect stuff hit things shoot things How about people wait until it comes out to bitch? Is it not on your favorite system or something?

  12. Re:Talking Out my Ass Here... on ATI Wins Bid For Next Xbox · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they wanted to renegotiate because its a couple years later and costs have most likely gone down a ton? Wouldn't you try the same? Or do you still want to pay $400 for that couple year old Radeon?

    Already have a camera at work, infact it's pointed right at where I watch TV and play my Xbox I bring into work.

  15. Re:Take it up the wallet.... on The Rise Of Bugs In Console Games · · Score: 1

    Awesome game, just going through the main quest and rushing it took me 30 hours, my friends at 55 trying to do every quest. AWESOME game. Couple slowdowns on xbox, and one major glitch I found, but easy to fix. Really great game. I'd go so far as to say best game I've played in the last 2 years.

  16. Re:The trouble with the cube on Acclaim - GameCube Not Worth Publishing For? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I think Nintendo charges a whole lot more to sell games for Gamecube, also is more expensive to produce the games I think? the cd's anyway

    Why make agame on a system that will take a bigger share of your profits, harder to develop for, and have proprietary hardware with less room?
    When you can develop for PS2 or XBOX(I believe they are easier?) not have a huge cut from profits and have a bigger fanbase?

  19. eh on Lionhead's The Movies - Interview · · Score: 1

    This is going to be another completely stupid idea, that people will flock to and buy, or will it just flock? I always thought the sims sucked and would flop, but it appears people liked it...Curious about this, I hope this game goes straight to hell, and it can take reality tv with it.

    Funny they don't mention the people that complain that the game just sucks? That it crashes 3 times in 30 minutes? Or the fact it sucks and crashes always? How the only beta testers who arent nuts are the same people who camp for 3 weeks to see the second star wars and refuse to believe it sucked? Err wrong crowd to preach to?;)

  25. Re:Because consoles are not about GFX or Online... on Hacking the XBox · · Score: 2, Informative

    You have to realize, like you said nintendo has been in the market for a LONG time. MS just joined not long ago, and for being a newcomer, they are doing fairly well. They would go under imo if they didn't have the windows money backing them. Granted lately there haven't been a whole lot of games coming out, let alone for any systems. They don't have the amount of games that Sony has, or the 'figureheads' Nintendo has.(Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc) But one of the smartest things they are doing, and doing better then Sony and Nintendo, is Xbox Live. It's incredible compared to the other two. I suggest you pickup xbl, unreal championship and wolfenstein. And sports games if you like, but I enjoy wolf and unreal. Also, look at some titles MS has coming out, from Rare too, some amazing games coming out. They wont kill Nintendo or Sony, but I think given some time they will be a huge contender. And I think XBL by next year will be huge. By then they will have many many more titles, and lots more downloadable content. I mean how much does getting free level in Splinter Cell own?
