Man I hate the sensationalist media, but at least their misdirection let me hear of atrocities I'd have probably never otherwise heard of...

It's kinda like diverting a river of shit away from the sewer, but through an unrelated town where people are going to kick up a fuss.

probably not... but fingers crossed all the same!

it's like christmas, but instead of presents, we get acid blood!

here's hoping for more news on the game before the end of the year!

anyway, I can't wait for this game to get released! I hope it's expansive around the globe, somehow, and not just based around a few coded locales...

More goats in development!!!

:D just messing... you do make some valid points, but the over saturation of the market with casual games is ultimately only going to hurt the industry... casual games are a great launchpad for the everyman to get into gaming, but more seasoned players are always going to be hungry for more, which is why I would much rather spend my money on something of substance, such as Metal Gear Solid 4, Final fantasy or other supposedly "hardcore" titles than a compilation of minigames or Wii sports.

As for Cammie, I don't care if her smiling oh-so-happy attitude is genuine or not, she still came across as condescending and totally inappropriate for the E3 audience... And having a genuine shit-eating-grin over a fake one only makes your teeth more revolting, if you follow my drift!

Of course I'm not going to pay for every level, just as I wouldn't charge for all my creations...

This system just allows you as a user more power to make LBP what you want it to be!

but then I'd come to my senses and most likely kill myself!

lol, this is a great diversion, and makes me giddy when I think of the possibilities for this kind of thing!

Imagine hidden easter eggs in future game teasers!

haha... whatever the answer, this is pretty entertaining! CHAOS!!! ANARCHY!

still, that's totally getting set as my new wallpaper!

Halflife 2: part 3 can't come soon enough!

man, I'm looking forward to that one!

if metal gear was ever to be a movie, I wouldn't want a stupid Americanised Hollywood blockbuster, Id want an apocalypse now style think-piece. something tells me that's not going to happen.

I was going to acctually make a joust screenplay prior to hearing about this!

get some Hamell on Trial/Ed Hamell on the go Brian :D

I personally think they'd do well to take some inspiration from the PS3's layout...

implicity in interface, complexity in content.

[insert rubbish pun about boobie traps here]

I could never get into the lego games, which is odd, considering I love playing with lego... and the lego mod for UT3 was great fun... I guess I just have a deep rooted dislike for wholesomeness in my videogames!

that could be really useful.

I can't think of anyone who'd premeditate an elaborate and shocking double murder just for a pair of PSPs... and then try to burn the evidence.

The media should learn some humility and say what happened rather than draw attention to trivial matters such as blatantly idiotic assumptions towards the motive.

but instead I'll respond with this:

BAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!!

I guess it's probably because I've been playing with playstation controllers for about a decade now so I don't have a problem with the analogue stiffness (or lack thereof), but I feel like Ive got a lot more control with the playstation controller..

still, I wouldn't mind one of each of them... one so my friends with a 360 preference don't get all arsey about not liking the PS3 pad, and one so I can play on the 360 in comfort rather than bewilderment!

some of these SSHD trophies are a bitch! Ive got 10 so far and I'm on the verge of reaching "level 2".... I guess that makes me a troph-fiend!

(sorry!)

hows everyone else going on their score whoring? anyone reached level 2 yet?

looking at the high scores in SSHD, only one person has the "Extra Ships Optional" trophy (where you need to last 7 minutes on survival)... assuming s/he's updated to 4.00...

though it does mean that you have access to your trophies regardless of what machine you are logged into, and you can delete your gamesaves without worry. and yay. no cheating!

I can picture a few games going retroactive... Resistance fall of man had accomplishments, and they where saved to the system, not the save file, so perhaps they'll be activated, if not, I don't mind doing them again!

think back to the good old days... how many times did you play through metal gear solid? zelda? final fantasy? quake? you didnt need the justification of achievement points to validate your multiple playthroughs.... stop being so commercially minded, people!

oooh, or the sound effect for when you get spotted in MGS! that would get annoying as hell whilst playing MGS4 though!

ideally the sounds would be customisable, and vary depending on the theme you've set for your console, but I doubt that will be the case, at first anyway.

Somebody make a petition

This is especially important for the "games as art" opinion. Art nowadays is increasingly becoming a progressive movement where we have to see where influences come from and how they have developed and mirror/contrast the past... as such if games are to be considered art then historically important titles should be made available...

Im kind of rambling here...

I'd personally love to see something bought to the Playstation store and Xbox Marketplace in the line of "history of games" where important titles of the past are released alongside information concerning their importance...

Readers of Edge magazine should be familiar with the section of the magazine that mentions games of the past that weren't huge commercially but are interesting enough to warrant seeking out.... how about making these titles available for download?

its good to see that MGS4 is less reliant on the codec than previous iterations... and all the movies (except the end credits) are skipable, which is nice, though after a while it does kinda get annoying having to press start then select skip for each video...

that said, if you want to just play the game without the videos, there's always the excellent online mode!

oh, and I heard it mentioned that Squall wouldn't stand a chance against Sephiroth... technically that's not true... the maximum damage Sephiroth could muster in a single attack was 9999 and only if you had a gameshark to play as him throughout the game, otherwise it was even less... as thanks to certain skills you could teach your GFs, Squal was capable of doing much much more.... though in sheer HP capacity sephiroth does come out on top...

ugh... what am I saying!?! nerd!

anyway, I'll keep an eye on this one...

The advertisements and press releases come across as obnoxious... most of the PR things on the xbl marketplace make me want to punch people, and as far as TV spots go, they are more off putting than anything else.

In contrast, Sony seem to have nailed their image in Europe, they come across as much more cool, sophisticated and... well, desirable... Nintendo also have a far more successful ad campaign on the go showing playing the wii and DS as sociable pass times, and thats selling well with the casual markets.

Microsoft comes across as the loud obnoxious greedy American company, and press releases like the one above further enforce this view.

This isn't just my opinion, most people I know shake their heads or grumble whenever they hear loud mouthed morons promoting the xbox platform (most commonly major nelson, douchefag bongoz (or whatever his name is) and everyone else on the inside xbox)... in fact even mentioning the announcement of gears of war 2 last year where that tool Mark Rein jumped through the wall is enough to fill the room with groans of discontent...

Microsoft needs to learn how to appropriately cater to their different audiences, a view that their slow demise in Europe and their ongoing failure in Japan is enforcing.
