Another game which I enjoyed THOROUGHLY that is not of the genre you speak was Birth of the Federation. It has bugs but as a 4x game was probably the most fun I ever played. It was in the Star trek universe and had all of the characters, ships, and destinations. And I've never seen a 4x game with the Borg-style element done so well.
Galactic Civilizations has some cool elements, but it lacks the artistic style and coolness and, in some ways, the intelligence of BOTF.
Given they settled a lawsuit from Konami over DDR pad packaging and In The Groove two months ago, you think they would be hesitant to start taking shots at others.
Guess not.
/owns a Red Octane Afterburner for Xbox (and looking forward to using it with my 360).
Innovative in the story. I found the one where you had to go into the artist's painting particularly fascinating, along with the one where you have to go into the Dreamworld to rescue the mage.
The most haunting one was the Fighter's guild storyline regarding the Blackwood Guard. Yikes.
I think you might be more satisfied with Massive Effect. Check it out.
If you have a hundred or a thousand songs on the player, does it take forever to load like the Sansa does? I also like the PlaysforSure feature (Yahoo Unlimited).
The market spoke - but that doesn't mean people have to listen. The game was pretty bad and unfinished. Those are untolerable in the days when you can have WoW or Eve - two very different kinds of games - that are finished.
That the FSF has made a joint bid suggests it is moving from the open market environment to a charity or a political cause.
Oblivion. I think I have 40 hours on my character and have not even done the main step of the first quest. I have become Master of the Fighter's Guild and Arena Grand Champion, and done a bunch of really cool, innovative quests.
it looks less like research and more like unfettered spending to find "yet another" way to dominate.

In the interim, it's a shame Bell Labs has gone from world leader to nothing... budget cuts, etc. (Lucent)... there was some real research there, and lots of it was shared with the world.
Let that be a lesson to you.
The purpose of a company is to enrich it's investors by satisfying consumers. I suppose you don't see a difference between being in a North Korean prison and two companies entering into a particular liscencing deal voluntarily (the former being an injustice to man and the last one being, well, not really any of your businses), but it's because Bell Labs followed YOUR recommendation and didn't behave like MS did that they are toast.
Even the Open Source developers have their own ways to make their investors rich through support contracts. Try to go on the forum of an open source project selling support contracts and offer $100 for someone to solve your problem - then see how long before that post gets pulled.
Is his solution anything like the 'i' that I recall using in math that was the equivilant of -1^.5? This was helpful to find the sqrt of negative numbers. IE: -4^.5 = 2i.
This looks like a nice game 'concept 'but it has got to be lightyears from development (har har).
When I see a game of this scope and notice the FAQs are answered by someone using the first person 'I' in regards to 'programing', then this is clearly someone's hobby.
In TFA, it says there was an Xbox upgrade that allows it to send 1080p signals. I _think_ the original Xbox could do this too, but there was maybe just one game that did this (Jet Set Radio Future)
I, too, am perplexed by the lack of 720p. I also have a similar model by Toshiba (same dimensions and restrictions). The cablebox's 1080i works, but the Xbox 360s 720p does not.
I have a CRT HDTV that is about 32. I somewhat regret not getting the 36. Got it a few years ago - nice TOshiba though it's not a widescreen. But it is HELL to move.
I also suspect that is can only display 480p, and nothing higher. When I try to play to it from my Xbox in 720p, it doesn't work -though my comcast HD box says that it is sending the signal in 1080i and it seems to be able to display that.
No, lowering the price would cost them money, given that at $600 they sold all that they could get onto store shelves.
What is particularly mind-boggling about Sony is that they continue to spend money advertising on Television to sell a console you cannot buy and a console that will require no advertising-induced desires to be able to sell any that Sony can manage to get on the shelves.
Plus, a 30 game attach rate to break even? That is mind-boggling and cannot be possible. Sony could not be that stupid.
The gambling lobbying/policy efforts have been trying to re-brand their business as 'the gaming' industry rather than 'the gambling' industry. It's not the legislators fault that 90% of the stuff they have to deal with and lobbyists they here from are from the 'gaming' as in gambling industry. You need to be aware of these things to get the results you want.

Does the Wii have memory cards of some kind to store game data?
Guess not.

That's pretty obnoxious to give people a gift of giving to a charity of YOUR choice.
Other than just taking Regi (?)'s word for it - where is the evidence that N is making money on the sales of the console?

Like what?
Probably very very few. It's not like a MMORPG where there are good reasons for havingmorethan one account.

Still, I'd love to get it on my Xbox 360.
Too bad I didn't realize I could turn on 1080i until now - the only game I think that supports it is Arcade Poker! which will look so much better now!
Someone did miss something. And it wasn't you.

Any idea on how we might fix this?

What do you make of the contrast ratio, particularly in regards to games? Sony has a 7000:1 contrast ratio for a similar model.
What is particularly mind-boggling about Sony is that they continue to spend money advertising on Television to sell a console you cannot buy and a console that will require no advertising-induced desires to be able to sell any that Sony can manage to get on the shelves.

Bill and John. Pretty amusing actually. Unique, enjoyable. A little confusing. But fun.
On the easy setting (maybe it's called 'casual'?), the game is quiet easy.
