Don't Worry About Halo 3's Graphics

Preemptive strike:

Halo 3 sucks
Halo 3 is overrated
Halo 3 rocks
Xbox 360 sucks
PC games are better
Resistance is better
Bungie makes more promises it can't keep
Halo 3 will sell faster than my antique pen collection on ebay

The Truth Behind The Xbox Boys

This is like an onion article, but it's real. Good stuff.

Ubisoft: Sorry About Those Shitty Wii Games

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 and My word Coach have gotten a lot of praise. Also from what has been said about Red Steel 2 and considering what the dev team managed to do on such a rush job despite no expierence on fps games much less a whole new control scheme I think Ubisoft will vastly redeem itself.

Quite a lot of people that devoted more then a few hours grew to love Red Steel. Quite a few games people dismissed just after the first hour later on grew to love the game after spending more time with it. Killer 7 had it's haters give up on the game after just an hour or two as well.

EA devoted whole studios to the Wii and DS. They like Ubi smelled that the wii would bring a lot of money to them. Ubi being smaller rushed the games making them suffer.

The Red Steel team did a far more competant game then a lot of supposedly elite game dev teams have done. They put a lot of effort into it and once refined the game ideas, concepts can be made into a far better game.

As for EA I guess people haven't seen Boogie or the other original EA wii games that are coming out. EA is also looking to make the Wii versions of games often the most fun to play.

Heroic Gamer Takes A Bullet

His CS gaming instinct probably took over and told him two things:

(1) Sometimes, rushing superior odds catches them by surprise and turn the odds to your favor

(2) If the above doesn't work, you can just respawn

Fad Or Forever: Does The Wii Have Legs?

Uh-huh, because, y'know, the only things the Wii has are mini-games. P-lease. And if mini-games are the only games that take up the majority of the library, who's fault is that? Developers, especially third-party developers, could've made so many games that would entice the same people who find the Playstations and Xboxes so appetizing. Instead, such people are hard pressed, at least early on, to find any third-party games they'd like on the Wii. As such they looked toward the other system and see so much more titles they'd want, but noticeably, none of those make it on the Wii. It's the same with the Cube for the most part. And now all you get are excuses why Burnout 3 never went to the Cube ("online-centric" my ass), or that Silent Hill isn't something Nintendo fans would play because "the general opinion is that Wii is for family games...and I'm sure the fans don't play Silent Hill with their grandma."

Excuse, excuses, lousy efforts, more excuses, and self-fulfilling prophecies. Spare me. How are Nintendo fans suppose to play games (i.e. FF, MGS, SH, KH, DQ, Ninja Gaiden, etc.) they want when they can't get them in the first place. And then developers are gonna tell us that the fans of those games are on systems like the PS3? Well, no duh. And if you put a life sustaining atmosphere on one planet vs. the other, life happens to thrive... where?
