I also played NBA2K11, now I have not played a basketball game in many years so I am probably not aware of any advancements made throughout the years, I just know that it is the best basketball game I have ever played. I have never felt a basketball game that felt so right. Some NBA games have a steep learning curves, like that Elite demo which was terrible, this easy to understand but still very deep. One big shock is that the AI plays defense, they will get in your passing lanes constantly and intercept passes, so much so that almost everyone I have talked to thinks that it hurts the game, I think its more realistic. The players all feel different, Lebron and Wade don't play move the same way. Most importantly they nailed Jordan, playing as him makes you feel like the greatest of all time. The presentation is incredible from the menus to how each game starts. The Jordan mode is fun as hell and each challange is an actual challenge. I hardly got to look over the features, so many of them. It's the complete package in a way only 2K knows how to do. As I played that I felt so sad cause of what NFL2k could be like now.

The NBA2K series has never stopped getting good.  I don't thin kyou can take that and stay where would NFL2K be had it continued.  Look at how 2K's NHL and MLB games have gone down the toilet.... enough said, I have to save this for my sports blog series.

Except that like the NBA2k series the NFL 2K series was always getting better as well, actually the NFL series was their crown jewel. It would have been incredible.

Sweet, another Rune Factory game subtitled Oceans is coming to Wii. I'll probably not skip that one! It's got ships! And Oceans! And giants! Oh, it's also going to be released for PS3 this time. Wtf, imageshack rotated the image, save it and rotate it in the picture viewer yourself. Scroll down for a translation.

you travel across the oceans atop a giant Ymir. You "vessel" isn't the only giant on the seas, though. In addition to picking up submerged islands and sunken ships, your Ymir will get into battles with other giant sea creatures.

The game will also have more conventional battles. You'll take control of your character in real time battles with monsters, making use of a simple control scheme and combo attacks. You have access to weapons like swords and hammers. These can be strengthened via an item synthesis system.

As mentioned below, you'll be able to play the game as Azel (male) and Sonia (female) main characters. However, it looks like you'll be playing the game as both characters initially, then deciding your final preference midway through the adventure. According to producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto, the game is being implemented this way because they want players to experience the game from both sides.

Developed by Neverland Company, Rune Factory Oceans is currently 80% complete and will see PS3 and Wii release on February 24. Famitsu lists the PS3 version as being Move compatible.

I guess the Move functionality will be pointer-like or other stuff the Wii can already do, otherwise why no M+?

Another Rune Factory? That series just keeps on going. I'm surprised there hasn't been a RF game for the PSP yet.

Whoo Hoo! I got ScummVM and Beaneath a Steel Sky working!!

Hey Agnates is in this game!

Hey It's in Australia!  Pine Gap I think!

^I've got it all down from your other instructions, so far so good.  Looks great.  I'm really glad I asked and you answered.  This is going to open up a whole new world of gaming to me.

Any guesses on Valve new game announcement tomorrow? (Wednesday in USA).

Sorry to hear that Leo. Hopefully it's nothing that serious.


          @GG Suck it up princess. Get better soon.

I did suck it up, through my nose and into my lungs. I'm now coughing up green bogie sludge.

What the crap? Some Epic Mickey peripheral
