Stubbs and Gauntlet! Awesome!
Why do you have to install your games on the PS3?
Because of the slow reads on BluRay discs
"The issue arises from differences in the reading techniques of DVD and Blu-ray. By nature, the outer and inner parts of a disc move at different speeds while a disc is spinning, regardless of format (CD, DVD, Blu-ray, HD-DVD, etc.). While DVD drives can read data at those differing speeds, Blu-ray reads at one speed. Combine that with the extremely large size of Blu...
Your being silly. The game has not been "in development" since 1999. The game was cancelled twice -- because of the platforms they started the project on.
You cant take code from 1999 and run it on modern consoles, this game is written from the ground up to run on Xbox 360 and it looks terrific.
What they *have* been able to use is the considered story, character and other RPG elements that will actually help make this game better.
To s...
They had over a million people signed up for the beta.
My brother-in-law is in the beta, and he says that WoW is doomed because of this game. It is blowing him away with gameplay, graphics and depth.
He's a MMORPG fanatic, and he said he expects that he'll be playing Age of Conan almost exclusively when it is released.
He's a PC gamer (he also has a Xbox 360 Elite) and I'm a Xbox 360 gamer -- its really great that this will be a cross-platform mul...
Too Human looks like its the sleeper hit of the year frankly. Awesome gameplay, terrific RPG depth set in a game world with stories that the team *really* cares about (and thought about, not just a thing layer of Bullshit story telling, but sophisticated considered narratives meant for people with a brain larger than a pea).
A playable demo? Yes, the sooner the better.
It looks like there are a lot of art assets in this game. The variety and scale of this game look just insane.
Their have been some videos discussing the weapsons and RPG elements, you should try and find them...
After all weve seen released in the last couple days from the Spring update, this game just blows me away.
Its the hardware dude. Games written *only* for DX10, on DX10 hardware look head-and-shoulders better than DX9 games.
Its the same thing that happens between DX 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
The hardware install base has to catch up to what the software is capable of doing.
Ninja Gaiden is going to be a smash success. The graphics are terrific, the gameplay looks awesome and the story is shown to have depth and the game has some very interesting characters.
Another break-out hit for the Xbox 360.
Yes, I meant:
"Gears of War will be the biggest exclusive game of 2008".
Easily bigger than MGS4.
City of Heroes/Villians is dead now that the force behind them has left.
Cryptic Studios set to release Champions Online sometime this year. Another MMORPG (with Age of Conan) set for the Xbox 360.

Mass Effect is a terrific game. A technological marvel -- it looked aweseme and it played awesome -- just a tour-de-force in RPG gaming.
BioWare has set the bar very very high for any competitor.
The Mass Effect DLC on Xbox LIVE was terrific, I hope they release more DLC before the release of Mass Effect 2.
And, its so cool that they are planning to let gamers continue -- with the same CHARACTER -- right into the new game. More innovative gamepla...
From everything I've heard (ive got a family memeber in the beta), Age of Conan is the first MMORPG he has said that will take on WoW.
He plays many MMORPGs and he says Age of Conan is just such a stellar game, he's probably going to play Age of Conan as his "first" MMORPG after release.
The visuals are stunning, the gameplay unique and alive, the adventuring, mood and story are stellar -- he loves this game.
They had over a million peopl...
Microsoft is really bringing so many great games to Xbox LIVE Arcade. Classics, board games, casual games -- every week its like getting a christmas suprise.
And, with the comming Community based XNA Community games, its going to finally bring democracy to console development.
I look forward to seeing what the small teams and unique ideas bring to the Xbox 360 in the future. And good for MS helping bring up small studios and help them have a market to bring the...
Of course they arent going to push back their games -- and limit their market because only about 17% of people have DX10 capable video cards.
BUT, you can bet that their *NEW* Projects will adopt DX10 as the market matures.
So few people have the HARDWARE to take advantage of DX10, why would they limit their target market?
DX9 is still a good market, but for not much longer frankly. Maybe for the next 12 months... but after that, anything not on D...
Too bad they didnt have the PAX next week for the Xbox LIVE Arcade release of Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness that we just heard about at the Spring Showcase.

It looks like another great game for Xbox LIVE Arcade -- how am I going to find all the time to play all these terrific games?
2008 is going...
By simplifying the interface at the same time *ADDING* depth and diversity in the game, Rare is really seems to have added great new features.
I know my sister and her daughter love Viva Pinata, they're going to be very excited when they see this. A open ended sandbox type game for all ages, and for casual as well as "hard core" players. Its hard to do, but Viva Pinata pulls it off perfectly.
How cool is it that you'll be able to mix and trade Pinatas...
If I saw "thegaygamer" it would appear to be someone wanting to make fun of gays.
I applaud Microsoft's excellent customer service and community system to help maintain the high standard that makes Xbox LIVE the premier online service for all types of people.
MS helps maintain the most tolerant community of gamers online, and I think that is terrific.
This was the correct decision.
Based on everything we've seen, its clear they have a big hit on their hands. The game looks great, the gameplay seems to be stellar, and they have such depth of play.
Look at the RPG elements, real customization. The themes and stories are unique and original. How awesome is the Spiders idea? Its like a familiar in traditional RPGs, but they have unique skills and classes as well.
The RPG elements are really starting to show through as we've seen more of thi...
Now, that looks awesome. A next-gen schmup. With CoOp over LIVE - fantastic.
Keep those sweet Xbox LIVE Arcade games coming!
