  1. Re:Graphics that great? on Final Fantasy XII Pushes Envelopes · · Score: 1
    For a PS2 game it looks great, even through the PS2 component cables on a HDTV. http://ps2.ign.com/articles/741/741991p4.html
    10 Graphics A PS2 technical accomplishment in every sense. Slowdown is a non-factor, model detail is incredible, facial and skeletal animation is stellar, and the artistic design kicks ass.
  2. DC Beat 'em ups on What Are Your Top Five 'Comfort' Games? · · Score: 1

    1. Capcom vs. SNK 2
    2. Street Fighter III Third Strike
    3. Street Fighter Alpha III
    4. Street Fighter II for matching service

    Playing as Ryu, Gouki and Guile where possible.

    All on Dreamcast of course.

  3. Re:Co-op on Lego Star Wars II Sells 1.1 Million · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah don't get the PC version, I can't believe they would release a product which doesn't INSTALL on a significant amount of PCs (mine included)) ... ohh wait it's published by Lucas Arts, they also released Battlefront II which was unplayable on a significant amount of PCs (yes I am talking high end PCs well above the minimum requirements) and required waiting 2 months for a patch.
    At least they got a installer patch out for the PC version of Lego II after a week or so....

  4. Re:What happened to MP3 phones? on What Happened to Media PCs? · · Score: 2, Informative

    MP3's are just waiting for the west to get decent hardware. In Japan most people don't bother with iPods, most phones have 4GB+ MP3 Storage, and you get them for free/cheap.

  5. Master System Market Share on The Sad Story of Sega's Many Mistakes · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Master System was big in Brazil (even up to the 2000's). They even had a Master System VI, including a wirless version and even a port of Street Fighter II. The Master System (II) was also quite big here in New Zealand, I only knew 1 person with a NES (I don't know where they got it from I even seen a NES for sale). Wonder Boy III rocked!!!

  6. Re:An Alternative on Cutting out the Naughty Bits Ruled Illegal · · Score: 1
    Clearplay has some great filters. For instance in Big Momma's House 2 they filter:
    • Implied Premarital Sex (wtf??)
    • Some Suggestive Dancing
    • Comical Fighting/Action (wtf??)
    • Bar/Club Environment (wtf??)
    • Murder Topic
    • Revealing Clothing
    • Some Suggestive Dialogue
    • Alcohol Consumption
    • Intense Thematic Elements (wtf??)
    The only filter they are missing is the rubbish movie filter, no kid should ever have to watch big momma's house.

  8. how to increase your FPS for free (ati) on Benchmarking Your GPU with F.E.A.R. · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you have an ati card (R4XX models) you can get a performance boots by renaming FEAR.exe to anything.exe.
    Running fear 1.02 on an msi x800 xl
    first i ran with FEAR.exe:
    1st run (fps):
    * min 25
    * avg 46
    * max 93
    * 0% below 25
    * 44% between 25 and 40
    * 56% above 40
    2nd run (fps):
    * min 26
    * avg 46
    * max 91
    * 0% below 25
    * 43% between 25 and 40
    * 57% above 40
    then i quit and ran anything.exe
    1st run (fps):
    * min 22
    * avg 42
    * max 103
    * 1% below 25
    * 44% between 25 and 40
    * 55% above 40
    2st run (fps):
    * min 21
    * avg 42
    * max 111
    * 3% below 25
    * 37% between 25 and 40
    * 60% above 40
    not believing it i reverted back to fear.exe and it went back to the first lot of results.
    I dont know whats going on, but the max framerate jumped up by 20 fps as well as the percent above 40fps. The min and avg values went down a little.
