Don't get me wrong, I haven't really heard much on this game and could generally just care less about it.
However, it took FOUR AND A HALF YEARS of dev-time to decide that it was a bad idea???
You know, maybe the suits who decide where to put the money at Sony should invest a little time in playing their games.
I mean, "It never really had the magic." ??? If it never really had the magic, what in the hell were they doing two years into development?
Oh well...at least they realized it eventually, I suppose. More space on the shelves for(hopefully) better games.

Price Cuts on Games |

Damn...MS and Nintendo suck. Only dropping their old game retail prices down to $30? Sony's got it right.
Games that came out a year plus ago should be available for $20.
It's no wonder I haven't bought a console since my PSX(well, unless you count my DC, but I don't).
Maybe I'll snag a GBA soon...Needs 2 extra buttons, though.

'Activision, which had a hit with "Spider-Man," saw a game based on the Steven Spielberg-Tom Cruise hit "Minority Report" fall flat last holiday season, in part, some have said, because the developers lacked the right to use Cruise's likeness.'
Yeah, not because a game based on a sub-par movie with action seemingly thrown in at the last minute might not have been a good idea in the first place.
Seriously, Spielberg movies should NOT be games. Didn't they learn anything from ET?

" would take the speed/performance/quality of Quacktime or even Windohs Media Player over Realplayer any day!
Thinking Quacktime is the best of the three"
Ugh...WMP6.4 plays 99% of my movie files. Quicktime, last time I had it on my PC wouldn't even do fullscreen. That looks like, well, ass on my TV. Especially when streaming.
DivX is still the best. Realplayer may not be great, but at least it does fullscreen.

I thought both Hitman games were fun.
However, the second one, while I didn't necessarily think it was trying to emphasize guns over stealth, kinda forced it on me.
I only have so much patience. Waiting to see which way people move for 30 minutes or so is interesting for the first half of the game, but by the end I stopped caring about stealth and just mowed everyone down.
A better design decision would of been to make that VERY difficult to do. I just couldn't get back into the stealth thing towards the end of the game. Maybe they just made it to easy to do.
Still, I'll definitely check out Hitman 3.

There really isn't a reason to lose the PS2 port for keyboards. It isn't like they really NEED the extra speed.
USB Drives...ugh... Give me a CDRW any day of the week.

I really want to see this thing, but come on...
Why do all these friggin' companies use Quicktime??? I'd rather watch it in Realplayer.
Oh well...guess I'll just wait for someone to post a DivX version on their site or the eventual DVD.

I don't understand why anyone would want this thing. It only has 10 buttons. I don't know about anyone else, but I can access at least 24 comfortably, and another ~8 with just a little struggle.
Maybe not a bad choice for, say, a Quake game, but straight out-of-the-box DM is not my bag. I'd hate to play BF1942 or Counterstrike with this thing. Not to mention you can't exactly type with it, either.
This thing should be riddled with buttons. I give it a 3/10.

Microsoft: Open source could harm us |

"To the extent the open-source model gains increasing market acceptance, sales of the company's products may decline, the company may have to reduce the prices it charges for its products, and revenues and operating margins may consequently decline,"
Anyone feel sorry for them? Last I checked, Windows was the single most expensive computer part. Well, unless you're buying a Radeon 9700Pro or a new chip. Of course, the difference is, THOSE prices go down in a month. ~,~

Mafia was pretty damned kewl. BF1942 is friggin' awesome. ermm...Morrowind anyone?
Ugh...I can't believe MOHAA is on there. Talk about a boring game. BF1942 and Hitman 2 were 80 times the game that was.
And I agree about WC3...not a bad game, but innovative???
I guess some companies just couldn't pay up this year. Heh...I'm surprised Sims isn't on there. Oh wait...there it is.

"Vedas was a casualty of a new epidemic: a surge in the recreational use of pharmaceuticals, even as the rate of illegal drug use holds steady or declines."
Recreational drug use is a NEW epidemic?
'"It's the ideal situation — it's legal and it's free," said Vedas' brother Rich. "And most people assume that if a doctor is giving you something, it must be fine."'
Uhmm...no...most people assume that if a doctor is giving you something, you should read the directions and take no more than the dosage states(note: not RECOMMENDS).
I read about this a week ago. I also read the chat log. While part of me is sad that another kid is dead, a bigger part reminds me that another STUPID kid is dead and hopes he wins a Darwin this year.
I mean, come on...a smart recreational drug user buys BETTER s&#$. And a dumb one buys more s&#$. Of course, only dopes smoke dope!(I learned that on a poster back in high school ~,^). I prefer drinking, though. And vicatin(ermm...but only for back pain.......)

Personally, I'm waiting for features that bring me into MMORPGs. So far, they've all been horribly boring to mine(mein) eyes. UO was just MM Diablo(or close enough). And all the 3d ones are just as bad. Hell, the most fun Multiplayer RPG I've played was Vampire: Requiem and even that was fairly drab.
I went to my friend's house about a month back and he was playing EQ. His character literally sat there for 10 minutes while we did the same. How lame is that?
I remember trying the Asheron's Call beta a couple of years ago. It was fun until you realized it was necessary to group to level up. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for teamplay in RPGs, but not when I shouldn't have to.
Not to mention that you can't GET anywhere in these games. How about characters that are able to get high up in the hierachy of the governmental system and are able to make changes? A character should be able to become a lord or even a king.
I think what would REALLY bring me into these games is a mass battle. I want Berserk(great anime)-style army fighting. I know how nearly impossible it would be to have that kind of view without killing bandwidth, but damn it would be nice.
It's too bad there's not a MM Morrowind(as has been said 1M times before) or even Wizardry 8! I'd settle for that.

On the Bushido homepage: "We also believe that long time Bushido modeller, Tex, could be dead. If anyone has any information pertaining his possible demise, please email me at playingkarrde@planethalflife.com. In the possible event that we are incorrect in this assumption then all fingers should be pointed at someone other than myself or Satansmaster. Thank you."

I used to watch it every year, but in the past four my attention for the gameday has receded.
I'd rather play NFL Blitz or Super High Impact with my family than watch it again.
Maybe it's the lack of an interesting professional sport's team here in Oregon(we've got the Trailblazers...woopie...). Or maybe it's because I have to unplug the digital satellite and pop in the regular tv antenna. Either way, I think I'll go do something else...

"Hitman 2 killing Sikhs = redikulous"
Hey now...the game, if I recall, never said they were Sikhs. And it's not like anyone in the US even knows who the hell the Sikhs ARE. I'm also assuming the developers had no intention of specifically targeting them to stir up anger in the Sikh community and sell more games.
"why don't gaming companies come up with ORIGINAL games with GREAT GAMEPLAY instead of trying to profit on games that will headline the newspapers in order to get cheap advertising?"
Games aren't cheap to make these days, it seems. Why would a publisher sign a game from a genre that people aren't going to recognize from the back of a game box?
