That's actually the better reason. Ninty has that one yeah?  That's why the PS cross pad is broken into 4?

I'd like to think it's because it's a better design! But this is Sony we're talking about...

What do you guys think of LA Noire? It looks interesting. I like the premise of playing as a detective. Rockstar hit it pretty big with Red Dead Redemption, but slowed down a bit with Mafia 2. LA Noire looks like it's taking forever and last time I heard, the budget on this is getting more insane every week it's unfinished. If this game flops commercially and critically, Take 2 is going to take a major hit. It looks good but pretty ambitious and risky.

Mafia 2 is great, it's just an open world game like some people wanted. A bit too short too, but enjoyable throughout. But it's not a Rockstar game. LA Noir looks great, hope they pull it off.

i have a weakness for the settings of both games (50ies NYC and LA) so i'm hoping they are both very good.  don't mind the short length.  it's almost a plus to me at this point provided the quality is consistently high

Why is every instance of that super mario collection in black as a big story? It's that freaking Super Mario All Stars which everyone owned on the SNES that should be released on the VC for 800 points. It should have released on the gba but Nintendo wanted to milk everyone so released SMB 1, 2 and 3 as separate releases, and now even on VC. Why is the retail release of an old SNES game we all used to own anyway a top story?

The announcement pisses me off more than anything else. It's a rip.

i think most people are more excited about the book and soundtrack ... i think

Hopefully that Mario collection isn't just the All-stars versions, because aside from being a bit disappointing if they're going to release updated versions to release OLD updated versions, said updated versions I found worse than the originals in the first place.

Well I caved and got Valkyria Chronicles II off PSN. Lovely game so far. Feels good to have a SEGA game that's actually good. I wanted the original but this will have to do. The story's silly but does have some pretty dark tones at times, like the first real non-training mission's intro where a bunch of rebels are shown killing people just cos of their race or something, and you're sent to defend the town. The game was very light hearted up to that point. I suppose this will be a recurring theme though, since the whole setting is a civil war based on racism.

Skip the first 25 seconds to see the beginning of the game. Intro, first battle, more intro stuff, etc, though the guy knows the game and is exploiting the ease of the first mission to finish it quick so it doesn't show normal play, he doesn't even use any troops other than the main dude. Later missions are obviously more involved.

Lol, I met characters from VC1, Alicia bakes and sells bread at the academy and is married to Gunther, yay?

"Earlier this week, Eurocom claimed that the game will blow away all other Wii first person shooters."

Is this really that hard to do? I mean its one of those things that's almost comical to say. The Wii doesn't HAVE any high-quality FPS games, so of course Goldeneye is going to blow them all away.

The real test is how the game compares to the other top caliber FPS's out there on ALL consoles, not just Wii.

(Love the smiley bar. Thanks Yoda! )

GG you do know we have a place for news at the top right?

And you will play Sonic with me, you just don't know it yet.

vader -- you were asking about Mortal Kombat theme.  Here is Ed Logg in Game Informer (the Batman cover)

"During the PS2 era, we has these elaborate rendered movie sequences that would play for Deadly Alliance, Deception, Shaolin Monks, one of the audio guys was saying, "What if we played the Mortal Kombat theme?"  But by then, it was so overplayed.  When I would hear it, I'd interpret it as so inappropriate for the game.  There was a sort of cheesiness to it that I coudn't quite repeat."

They are using it the wrong way.


Imgaine game starts the screen is black... Do do do do do do da da da da da da "Midway Presents" *shows silohettes of fights much like the new trailer* The music starts to kick in. Giant flames burst out of the screen and the Mortal Kombat logo appears just as the song says "MORTAL KOOOMBAT!!!! Then the everything kicks into overdrive and you see clips of fights, like a demo reel of the game as the music is playing.  Most epic opening ever.
