Why do action game designers have this urge to insert stupid platforming sequences out of nowhere to ruin otherwise great games? The cat walk sequence in Ninja Gaiden (the best XBox game in my book) made me throw my controller so many times. So was the all those cat walk sequences in God of...

I'm curious about your opinion on the recent ones like Digital Devil Saga 1&2 from Shin Megami series for PS2.

The part that original article was complaining about was the transfer from VRAM to RAM by CPU. Even if the claim is true, that doesn't mean much in today's 3d pipeline that all CPU does is sending displaylists and textures to VRAM and all the graphics process is actually done by GPU. I don't...

Buy a PS3. According to Phil Harrision, you don't need a PC, once you've got yourself a PS3. Sorry, couldn't resist... ;)

Oh Peter, could you at least try not to get in the way of fellow coworkers? Sometimes, it's unclear whether he's working for MS or against it.

After Sony claimed rumble feature is a thing of the past, Peter Moore declared backward compatibility is history. And, I not only disagree with that statement, but also got upset by the self-serving claim. I was not going to buy a X360 anytime soon, but this news re-affirmed my decision...

I thought it's good. It's the same configuration as the PS2 controller which was the same configuration as the PS1 dualshock controller. No learning curve right there. I like the fact that I can recharge the controller through USB port not like X360. Some complained about L2/R2 analog...

There are lots of PS2 games that I have passed on. With this summer draught season, it's perfect to dig up the old library and see for some jewels. My first line of games include Ace Combat 4 & 5, Star Ocean 3, and Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition. I've also heard good things about Shadow...

I have decided to get a slimline PS2. I'm a part time gaming collector myself, and that would be my excuse of buying a PS2 6 months before PS3 launch...or, whatever. :P Anyway, I can't live without my PS2 games for 6 long months, especially summer game release draught has begun, already...

My trusty PS2 died today... It's been in service for over 5 years. Since I am going to get a PS3 at launch, should I live without my PS2 games for the next 6 months? Or, just spend $130 for the stop gap solution? I was going to go through PS2 games that I passed on last year this summer...

PC gaming used to be mainstream many many years ago which I can't even remember. Ever since 80% of the games became FPS and the others became starcraft rip-offs, it started to alienate more and more. They thought $500 graphics card with the latest DirectX would save their ass, but it just...

But, Exxon made the record profit in the history of mankind, despite all that. How would you explain that?

The same here, I need the eye candy. However, $600 price tag that is associated with the BluRay will turn a lot of people off. Most of my friends are gamers and all of them has PS2; I'm the only one who said getting PS3 at launch. Go figure.

double post...sorry

[Edit: wrong info ;) ]. Ninty is all about extremely efficient bussiness model; they've been number one efficient company in Japan for a long time. BTW as a side subject, how would you explain current gas companies like Exxon making record revenues while oil price is sky high? If you're...

The more I think about it, I think BlueRay could bring down Sony all together especially if it ruins their PlayStation 3 plan. The thing is that Sony must be thinking BlueRay will take over DVD, but from the history, it looks closer to be SuperAudioCD than CD that took over tapes and vinyl...

Have you heard of a company that forced people to use their cd player if they pop in the cd into cd drive? That cd player installed itself without telling you and there was no proper way to uninstall it? If you still tried to uninstall it yourself, it scewed up the cd drive permanently...

So, are you picking/liking 360 because you don't like the other two? I don't know if deductive thinking works when it comes to deciding what to buy. BTW I found that Gantz at GamingAge Forum has the same avatar as you... :huh:

Around the end of SNES days, Ninty's ego was bloated to the size of a whale. After a few smack downs by Sony, now the disease is transfered to Sony, it seems. Also, Iwata and Reggie are very smart-thinking-no-none-sense type execs whereas Yamauchi and Howard Lincoln combo was the model for...

Playstation is definitely a victim of its own success. If it wasn't as successful and market dominating, Playstation didn't have to carry the whole company, that is sinking, alone. Sony is like MS, Google, and Starbucks that their success is measured by the rapid speed of expansion and market...
