Recently TeamXbox brought you their impressions of the soon to release Armored Core For Answer, the latest sequel in the long-running giant mech game franchise from Japan soon to drop on to North American shores. It's big mechs, it's lots of heavy energy weapons and missiles flying in elegantly abstract contrail trails, and giant anthropomorphic machines battling even more giant behemoth military platforms. You know, your standard stuff.
But one of the features that For Answer introduces to the ten-year-old series is one that may not have been done before, but it seems like everyone is now. Co-operative play is possible in Armored Core For Answer, though only for two players. But you can grab a friend and attack one of the bigger enemies in multiplayer, each of you taking a different angle or perhaps focusing on different parts of the enemy.
After several months of waiting, FromSoftware finally revealed the Japanese release date for Armored Core's massive CD Box.
"FromSoftware Announces Release Date for Armored Core's Massive 20th . . ."
Ooooo *clicks article*
". . . Anniversary Soundtrack"
It might show up differently on phones or whatever, but on my phone those last two words are cut out when seeing the article on the front page, and only show up when you click on it and see the full title, lol.

In all honesty, some games would be better off left on the whiteboard at the design meeting. Whether they're too ambitious, too expensive or simply too good to be true, gamers are frequently led to imagine great things only to have our expectations dashed when the game finally arrives. How could these games be so good on paper yet underwhelm so spectacularly?
its not even a bad game but thats what i thought automatically.
i think it was because of the e3 gaming media attention. i think those fckers gassed me up.
for those that didnt play farcry 2 its a good game I just dont think its worth $60 dollars unless youre committed to planned attacks that dont work most of the time. there is no multiplayer. well there is mutlitplayer but youre not gonna want to play it.
given enough time farcry 2 could be 1 of your favortie games. play with the settings on your tv and it can look really good.

It's a bit odd really – giant robots shooting each other a lot seems like it would have universal appeal. Anyway, the Armored Core series has been around for over a decade now, with games appearing on the PlayStation, PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360, among others. The newest game to the series is the bizarrely titled For Answer, which builds on 2007's Armored Core 4. However, to be honest, not much as changed – if you liked the last game, then you're going to like this one. If you, for whatever reason, didn't like AC4, this isn't going to change your mind".
Looking forward to this game. When I heard Sega was dropping publishing rights of the fanchise I was a bit worried it might not hit the states.
In a suprise move, Ubisoft picked it up, glad they did. Lets hope they support both consoles in ALL regions equally. Sega had a tendancy to drop the PS3 servers, and only released up to Reg. 1.4 on the PS3 in the USA.
