I think Cliff is pretty much a douche too, but your comment doesn't make sense: he mentions specifically that "even Mario had Goombas" (which implies that he enjoys Mario, and the enemies made it a good game).
I think he's just assuming that Mirrors Edge is all about running/jumping and there is no action/enemies involved. Clearly, he hasn't played the demo because that's obviously false.
I'm a HUGE FireFox guy - I love it.
BUT - there is absolutely no way that MS has anything to worry about. The VAST majority of people who use the internet will always use whatever comes standard on their computer.
If it is a PC, then the program that comes standard is IE. While I would hope that everyone will eventually be FireFox people, there's just no way in hell.
I agree with FuRy above - nobody cares about your review - please stop praising yourself as it is completely annoying to read.
@ KN - wow, now THAT is amazing! Well hopefully the kid at least got the guy's gamertag so they can play together :)
I have to throw some bubbles at you for that one :)
Yeah I could've sworn that I read October 9th for the release of this one.
Sweet - this looks fantastic. I was already pretty excited about it, but after reading about how well-balanced all the roles are, I'm ready to pick this one up right away. So many good games coming...
Did the review get pulled? I'm getting a 404 error when I try to read this...
Hehehe... for some reason the words "gaming goddess" and "John Carmack" do not equate in my mind.
You didn't read the article man... the writer is joking about GOTY - the game looks completely ridiculous.
HA! I thought the same exact thing when I saw that! :)
I'm pretty sure (read: 100% sure) that the writer was being sarcastic about GOTY and being better than Bioshock.
This game looks completely insane - not "good" insane, but like the dictionary definition of insane. The screens are hilarious.
How old is this article anyways??
"The upcoming Sony PlayStation 3 and the newly released Microsoft Xbox 360..."
Come on man - this article is from a nobody and its ridiculously out-of-date... never should make it onto N4G!
I couldn't agree more Covenant.
I'm on my 3rd Xbox now - and if I have to send it back in and wait almost a month to get it back, I'll be pretty pissed off.
I subscribe to XBL on a yearly basis (I have since it launched 3 or 4 years ago) - so if they try to throw a month of free XBL at me to make up for their crappy hardware, it won't go over too well.
Man - their games rock SOOO MUCH - why can't their hardware do the same!
Where in this article does it say that they will charge for it?? Am I blind?
I'm no fanboy (I have a 360 and a PS3) but that comment about the Wal-Mart greeter was completely hilarous. Very funny stuff man - have a bubble. :)
Count me in :)
I couldn't agree more. It is insane that he would even THINK to put Tomb Raider on that list. When that game first came out, it was a breath of fresh air - fantastic fun.
Out of the THOUSANDS of horrible games, the fact that the writer had the audacity to put Tomb Raider on there is just mind-blowing - what a pretentious idiot.
Shouldn't it be like "Will Rock Band Shut off Guitar Hero's Amp" or something?
Sorry to be picky, but I saw this and was like "Huh? Isn't Rock Band the one with the mic?"
I already opted out of the service... $5 extra per month? Not worth it.
