Yep, this platformer is not for me so anyone want trade their NFS:MW for it

Well, I use my PSP everyday! I listen to MP3 on my way work since I take Mass Transit.  Also, when I break it out to play Madden or Xmen Legends it seems to impress everyone around me.  


Lets not forget the the DS is now just considered coming into its own.  I'm sure if I looked I can find tons of threads bashing it due to its weak initial line up of games.  Some of the better PSP games are just now being released.

Some of you have some very short memories when it comes to the DS.  Heck, the WiFi feature of the DS just got support if I'm correct.  The PSP had it since launch and is only getting better

[MADDEN 06 2005-2006 Season]

I'll Play


MADDEN 06 2005-2006 Season

Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers

I'm 5 games into the season  with the Ravens at this point 4-1 going into a grudge match with a division rival.  I built up a 14-7 lead going into the half with Jamal Lewis running well.    By the end of the 3rd its 21-14 Ravens up.  It stays this way til I missed a 48 yd FG with 50sec left on the clock.  Big Ben drives the field and ties the game up at 21 even with a perfect pass to Hines Ward.  OT- The Steelers win the toss and I stop them  three and out.  Ensuing kickoff I  take back to the 50 yrd line!  A. Wright connects with Todd Heap and Mark Clayton to put them with in FG range.  Instead of kicking the field goal cause I'm  kicking into the wind, so I drive to  1 yrd line.   A.Wright fakes to Jamal Lewis and give the FB for the WIN! 27-21 Ravens win

Ravens 5-1

Next up Cinn. Bengals

I mean, yeah, I can understand the fact this console shouldn't be grouped with the 360/PS3.  It doesn't offer their level of graphical power.

And I can understand how people wouldn't want one (at this point in time).  You're going to be getting totally unique games and frankly, we have no clue what they're going to offer.

But slap me sideways if you disagree, but as a gamer, I couldn't be happier with this new console.  It's not just another upgrade, it's entirely new.  My initial thoughts would be that gamers, as a whole, would be excited/interested in the Revolution; that such a large company would be willing to take a risk and try something incredibly new (Microsoft being on the complete opposite end of the spectrum which is perfectly OKAY, so please don't flame me).  

The Revolution doesn't REPLACE any of my next-gen console purchases, but it sure as hell belongs in my household right next to whatever next-gen consoles I decide to purchase.

While you have some very valid points I think many are just burned out by Nintendo.  While they want to focus on "kiddie" games that in many ways just don't appeal to me.  

Granted RE4, Soul Calibur , Geist and the rest are the exception not the norm.  This might not bother you, but many doesn't like Nintendo tight fisted control.  It was understandable in the mid 80's and 90's when Nintendo was fresh out the gate after the Atari fiasco, i.e. bad games flooding the market.


Ninentdo hasn't appealed to me since I jumped from the orginal Ninentdo to the Sega.

Our review will go up today.

 Still waiting, Sir Knight!

The DS has been out abit longer than the PSP and it has just now come into its own.   Instead of slamming the PSP maybe you should acknowledge that at least.



Also, PSP is starting to get some good games.

Patch 1.8.4

Battlegrounds

Battles must now last at least ten minutes after the start of the battle in order for the losing team to receive a Mark of Honor.

Man, first the Deserter debuff anf now this.  Bad move

This thread is going to be a good one

Did you just +1 your own post?

No, I was +1 this thread

Is there anywhere to see the trailer other than the apple site?

The fuckin thing keeps showing the quicktime equivalent of a broken image symbol when I click to watch the trailer.

I saw the trailer last night on Attacks of the Show on G4TV.  Try there

This thread is going to be a good one

Seriously, I think Nintendo is making a mistake.   I guess there is a market out there for them, but letting Sony and MS duke it out is not a good idea.  

Must gamers expect the Next Gen systems to look great and play even better.

Check out this cool new stuff from Agetec!

http://www.gamespot.com/psp/rpg/popolocrois/index.html?q=PoPoLoCrois

I would say that PoPoLoCrois is one of the best up-to date RPGs for the PSP. The translations are good and the text doesn't overlap just like PoPoLoCrois. If you are deciding whether to get PoPoLoCrois or The Legend of Heroes, I would suggest to get PoPoLoCrois first and get The Legend of Heroes later.
-Game Informer

And the other one is Wild Arms:Alter Code F

http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/rpg/codef/index.html?q=Alter%20Code%20f

Wild Arms Alter Code: F is a good revisit to a classic RPG. The battle system remains a fairly neat thing to play with, and the storyline--featuring demons, elflike people, ancient technology, and swords and firearms all wrapped up in a world with a pseudo-Western feel--remains unique and interesting.- Gamespot.com

Mehtinks someone works for Agetec


Just a guess :p

Robotron: 2084


Wik & The Fable of Souls


Saw this on the 360 Forums

I'm on my second run into COD2 on Harden Difficulty and I must say it is a different game.  The AI gets smarter and way more aggressive.  Using your squad  helps alot

Smoke Grenade are your friend!

The PoPoLoCrois saga, first seen on the original Playstation and continued for PS2, goes portable with an adventure built specially for PSP. A decade ago, an ice demon attacked the Kingdom of PoPoLoCrois. As a heroic white dragon banished the Ice Demon to the World of Darkness, the queen of PoPoLoCrois fell into a deep sleep. Her son, Prince Pietro, must band together with a group of friends on a quest to awaken his mother. Strategically explore a grid layout and battle in a turn-based RPG system. Use magic, attack in tandem, and call in fighting beasts for backup. Beginners can use AI-based, computer-controlled combat, making this an adventure playable by all.

Basic description.  I should have my rental from gamefly sometime this week

Just saw it was released on 11/30 so anyone have impressions yet.

no problems what so ever

Thanks!  Picked up my sister dvd and Stars Wars Trilogy!

Since Xmas is coming up my sister has expressed interest in two TV series that she would like on DVD.

So anyone know of a good online site to compare DVD prices?

If you just keep touching your case or frame to dsicharge any static then the ASW strap isn't required.   Its your choice


Good Luck with your build

We really need to get us GT/OO for some type of MP fun

I just (over lunch) got the achievement in Geometry Wars for not dying before I reached 250,000.  I am so proud.  Unfortunately it's on my test kit with my Live test ID so I can't show it off to the world

Surrrreeee!!!! Right :p

Original story

GameStop posts $2.5 million Q3 loss
Cost of EB Games acquisition, slow game market one-two punch number one game retailer--though not as hard as expected.
Buying out a rival is never cheap. For GameStop, its purchase of former competitor Electronics Boutique (aka EB Games) poured red ink over a normally profitable quarter. Today, the now-number-one game retailer posted a $2.5 million loss for the quarter ending October 29, 2005, far below the $12.5 million in profits it enjoyed during the same period in 2004. The figure was within expectations, but at the lower end of the predicted loss range.

GameStop's shortcomings could be pinned on two major factors. First was the acquisition of EB, which created $18.8 million in merger costs in addition to the $1.44 billion in stock and cash GameStop paid for the company. Second was a 12 percent drop in "comparable store sales"--ie, sales in retail locations that have been open for more than a year. The company blamed the drop on the lack of major games released in the quarter, singling out the absence of a major title like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Despite the loss, the company put on a brave face. In a press release, it touted its quarterly net sales for the quarter were actually up 28.2 percent, going from $416.7 million in 2004 to $534.2 million in 2005. GameStop's guidance predicts $0.98-$1.06 per share in earnings for its fourth quarter, and $1.65-$1.75 per-share earnings for the fiscal year.

"We made significant progress during the third quarter to position ourselves for the fourth quarter and the long term," R. Richard Fontaine, GameStop's chairman and CEO, said in a statement. "We successfully completed our merger with Electronics Boutique, integration milestones are being met, and a number of best practices have already been cross-applied to the combined company."

However, Fontaine had a rather gloomy assessment for the rest of the year. "During November we experienced weaker than expected new video game software sales mainly due to core customers waiting for the launch of Microsoft's Xbox 360 and to value consumers continuing to gravitate to used video games," he said. "We anticipate this trend to continue to a degree throughout the holiday season, with gross sales levels declining, but strong margin contributions supporting forecasted earnings."

Analysts went one step further than the downbeat executive. Michael Pachter of Wedbush Morgan Securities downgraded his rating of the stock from "Buy" to "Hold" on account of "management's inability to forecast its allocation of Xbox 360 units; the company's reliance upon used software sales and margin growth as a driver for earnings growth; our lingering concerns about the console transition; and questions about GameStop's market position as a destination for 'hardcore' gamers."

GameStop stock was down slightly in after-hours trading, slipping just $0.04 from its market-close price of $35.14.

Former Military myself  and this type of "War"  isn't winnable imo

The people that hate us  will always be able to recruit more matyrs and dimwitts.   The only thing we as Americans see is the casualties.   The news hardly ever report how many casualties we inflict but as always quick to report how many Americans have been killed by a car boomb.


This is a clandestine war.  The only way we win is with a small  cells to strike at thier cells.  I'm so reminded of that movie with John Travolta and Halle Berry

Kameo is a good game if you like platformers.   I tried to stick with it, but I think I am going to trade it in.  I'm just not a big platform players it seems.....well I did finish Metroids on the SP.  I just can't get into this game.

Love the co-op mission style. highly recommended... feel free to invite me if you're online.

Will send you a friends invite tonite.  If I don't have you already

Remember when Michael Jackson looked like a real person

Hey Dimmona if you maintain that HDTV supported games list in your sig you need to update it with the 360 games :p

590

Gauntlet MP
Madden 06
Kameo
COD2
Hexic HD

My first couple of experience with PD0 MP has been a little unfilling.  Last night I tried to play a few Team Killcount and teams were unbalanced and it seems that cause you have some anominity(sp) shouting out racist crap is the rage


So any GTer and OOer up for some MP fun.  We can atleast set up our own server

Fear the power of google!

The first one was Auto-Man

No idea on the second one

It's one of the main reasons why I continue to refuse to date.  I have my gaming systems to come home to from work!  The X360 is the pinnacle of gaming systems.  Much better than any woman could hope to ever be!

I don't know man??   Women have some advantages.  Heck, one real important one.   Thats pretty on par with the 360

Welp, since I never seen many I must post my favorites




Now thats an ASS




More of the same!





The sweetness!





Ahh, summer!

I forgot to mention my number one favorite feature of the xbox 360... YOU CAN TURN IT ON AND OFF WITHOUT EVEN GETTING UP!!!!  Oh yes, I am a lazy son of a bitch.  This feature makes me very happy.

QFT!

I have to admit that this part freaking kicks ass.  If the PS3 doesn't have this for us lazy ass coach potatoe americans I will be quite upset

I guess I'm in the minority, but I like the 360 version of Madden.  I don't care about no practice mode or any of that other shit.  I just want a game that I can play solo or with my buds.

Hell, I love my PSP version and the 360 version as well.  I am a die-hard football fan, but dealing witht he salary cap , practicing my players  is just something I could really care less about when I am playing a football game.

Just my opinion

KOTOR2 -on the 360-missed it when it came out the first time.  Rental from gamefly 4tw

COD2-finished the SP and played some MP

Gauntlet-360 arcade-Fun game when you play with people that know what to do

Madden 06-360- Lost my first franchise game vs. the Titans.  A nail biter that went into OT

WoW-this is been getting less of my time lately cause of the 360

Smash TV demo-360- still considering getting the full version

Hexic HD-360-marathon mode-While most seems to like Geometry Wars I am enamored with this puzzle game.  Its so cool that you can quit out and restart from where you left off at

Can you cancel the auction and resubmit it?
