If you inquire a lil deeper, you'll find that there is no way a user can MAKE money off of this, they are simply helping to pay for increased content (land) through the use of in game money.
I think thats an awesome idea, and I hope more MMORPGs include something similar. It seems like a great way to reward players and remove built up currency...
And the most stunning stat is 96% of parents sometimes pay attention to the content of their child's games.
The key word there is SOMETIMES... what were the other options on the survey? never and always? What parent will answer that they never pay attention to the content of their child's games?
With survey results like this, one has to always look at the questions that were asked to get said results.
Sounds like the only thing that is going to get exchanged is costumers virutal money, for the website's real money. By the time they are bankrupt though, they'll be able to virtually buy anything they want.
I heard previuosly that it will not be the full version of HL2 shipping with the ATI 9800XT. I heard it will be a single player only version. WTF is with that, or am I wrong?
Go and Shogi ("Japanese Chess") have proven difficult for computers to master, with "average" players able to beat computer programs with ease.
The strategies of Chess are pretty well defined, with Grand Masters easily able to say why one move is better than another. With Go, players simply reply that a move "felt right".
Computers are getting closer and closer to dominating Human competition in Chess, but there are still many games where they cant compete with the masters.
After reading the english translation of the original book, I've had wet dreams about making a Battle Royale mod. Plenty of weapons (guns and melee, but limited ammo and disarm abilities), 10 seconds between each characters spawn, 3 minutes without a kill = death for everyone (mirroring the book instead of the movie). Sounds like a fun game for LAN parties...
Too bad I don't have any coding skills.

There goes my ice-breaker at parties.....

And besides, recently the best Star Wars stories are coming from people other than George Lucas (clone wars on Cartoon Network, New Jedi Order, etc.)

You mean it hasn't already?
Final Fantasy 7 and 8 have been ported to PC, as well as 11. I'm not sure if 7 and 8 were released on PC in Japan or not...
I think the picture in the NW quadrant is the PSP unit from the back...
Yea... FF XII for the XBOX would be a huge success for Square. Every one in Japan with an XBOX would buy it, all thousand of em....
Hopefully...
Its probably just part of the magazine. Jump and those type of Japanese magazines are kinda goofy sometimes...
If I consume part of a cheeseburger, and it makes me WANT to throw up, I better be able to my money back. Same with videogames...

Thats why companies make prequels...
