One of the things that has been learned from this generation of the console wars is that platforms are important to some consumers, but it is platform-exclusive games that rule at retail.
Nintendo kills with its whole innovative concept, but consistently get bumps from games like "Mario Cart," the Zelda franchise and "Super Mario Galaxy." The Xbox 360 rode to its success on "Halo 3," "Gears of War" (perhaps the best video game commercial in recent memory) and "BioShock" (coming to the PlayStation 3 in October), while the choices for PlayStation 3 have been a little slim.
Today that changes with "Metal Gear Solid 4" hitting the world as an exclusive. Price has also held the PS3 back, and (at $59.99) it is cheaper than it was. But new today is the MGS4 bundle that gives consumers the game, a fancy "Metal Gear" console with an 80-gig hard drive and, if you buy it at Wal-Mart, a $100 gift card.
Wal-Mart wants the Blu-ray player to catch on so it can sell $39 movies, so the $100 offer is valid for all Blu-ray players, which includes the PS3. Since the price for the gaming console and any player is virtually the same, buying the MGS4 bundle is a no-brainer. The problem may be finding one.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.
It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
Well, what if you hate black equipment?
Sony, where are the other colour PS3's outside of Japan you promised at the launch of the PS3?
"Wal-Mart wants the Blu-ray player to catch on so it can sell $39 movies, so the $100 offer is valid for all Blu-ray players, which includes the PS3"
Was that some sort of shot at the blu-ray movie industry? I have yet to ever see a "39 dollar movie" and considering most of the BD movies at wal-mart are being sold at the same prices at DVD's it just sounded weird.
...but I'm not holding my breath as I've called around and either everyone's sold out, have no clue as to what I'm asking about, or reluctant to tell me anything substantial. I'll keep hopin' Sony realizes more people are willing to lay down the ducats for this backwards compatible 80Gb badboy.
This is exactly why I caved and bought a PS3 yesterday morning. I had planned on waiting to buy a PS3 for more games that I like to come out, but Walmart's got a good deal w/ this one and I wanted a Blu Ray player and a new DVD player for my living room. I have no games but am in the process of getting some Blu Rays. If you can't find PS3s at Walmart, you MAY have luck at Best Buy getting a manager to match the deal. No guarantees tho.
Im thinking on getting the ps3(60gb) I saw in my local Pawnshop. I think it was $295.
