Even before Goldeneye, Doom 2 was already "king" of multiplayer if you were tech-savy enough to get your two computers to hook up via a 14.4+ modem. Using a DWANGO server or something akin to it, you were able to get 4 players together via modem just like a lan...each (and this is the important point) with your own separate screen.
After playing Doom/Doom 2 on the computer I could never sit down in front of a TV divided into four quadrants and feel really good about playing a Deathmatch game where your every move could be monitored by your opponents. A lot of people at it up, but it never felt right to me.
They're coming, but they haven't been announced yet. I've always said that this is the kind of microtransaction I wholeheartedly support.
Not I. Not when publishers are withholding content already on the disk and then reselling it via these so-called microtransactions. The XBL marketplace as a whole is great, but it's rife with this type of gouging these days.
Could you really enjoy The Empire Strikes back without seeing A New Hope before and Jedi after? Same idea.
Well, you could be like my dad and take your son to Return of the Jedi without ever having seen the first two. All is knew is that the lightsaber thing was cool and that there were spaceships. I was lost beyond that. I suspect he was watching Leia on the barge more than anything.
Yah, but he was replying to the question "Is it a fast ship?" It just makes no sense for Kenobi to ask that question if he was talking about distance. Why didn't Kenobi just ask "Is your navigational computer good or does it suck?"
We've got plenty of ideas for what we can do with downloadable content because Piñata is such a unique game...the team does still see the potential of Xbox Live and the push for downloadable content
The only "leering" going on here is Rare into my wallet.
Have you thought that perhaps people who are "highly successful" are those who often need to spend a lot of time in their careers - so much so, in fact, that they don't have time to stand in line?
from the tired-of-his-bullshit department. Molyneux is the master of grandstanding and double-speak. A quote from Peter M. from just the previous article here on/.
"Fable 2 should be everything you expect, then 10 times more that you don't expect -- and that doesn't just apply to this one feature... I almost said it then! -- that applies to the whole game."
Well, golly, Pete if you're tired of people expecting "10 times more than they don't expect" then don't build your games up that way. And pointing to the word "should" later and saying "See, see, I said should not will" is just playing word-games and general salesman sleeze. There are plenty of game designers out there who aren't attention-whores.
I always get a chuckle at these denials and the fact that they're even reported as news. Of course Microsoft is going to deny a price drop (even if it's coming), just the way Nintendo denied they were remaking the DS...announcing a price drop would kill current sales of the 360's as everyone would hold out until the price drop actually occurred.

The speech will also detail what the concept of 'always on' can mean for gaming from Sony's unique perspective in the gaming market.
Translated: "Every time I get home and flip on the news something negative about the PS3 is ALWAYS ON!"
Perhaps?

Production is proposed to begin as early as 2007, with a launch slated for Q3 2010.
Cool, I think I'll pick this up along with Duke Nukem Forever 2.

Sans the wii-mote-as-poker thing, I think this app would definitely work on the 360. I mean, it's already got the heating part covered...
Granted, Sony is screwing up pretty badly, and the xbox 360 is hitting it's stride, it is a pretty annoying bias.
Perhaps Zonk's article selection is simply reflecting general mainstream concensus, then, hmmm?
What's this, then?
I think Sony did a fine job of jabbing itself with or without Zonk. Sony's response was absolutely retarded.
Ouch, what a trollish post.

Thank god a hardcore gamer like myself will still have an opportunity to see some boobs.
Or you could be completely fucking wrong on every count. Who knows?

I've been there before, and it's really not all that impressive. I even snapped a picture or two (on the sly, of course).
Since when is "light" a selling point for controllers? Most sites that have hands-on experience with the PS3 mark that one in the negative column.
Talk about desparate...
I felt a great disturbance in Azeroth, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror...and went RIGHT back to raiding again.
Duke Nukem: The Movie (TBA)
;)
Did anyone else find this one as amusing as I did?
Our unofficial guild motto has always been RL > WOW, friends come first.
Sure, but their motto on "raid day" was "WTF N00B GET UR ASS ON UR MAIN WERE RAIDING!!!11"
So they have to fit each component in a 50 MB "package", but who said that had to charge more than $20.00 for the whole thing??
The mere fact that the "Full Game" (according to the description in XBLA) has locked content inside of it is gonna piss a whole lot of people off.
Then you could even slip in WoW innuendo's and she'd understand 'em...
"Baby, it won't cost you 900g to have an epic mount tonight!"
