In February.
Did you not hear? Strikeforce is organizing a heavyweight tournament. Should be epic. Check the bracket.
I can't keep track. Which one is that the PSP one? Or is that the one they call FF XIII-2?
i just watched the oddest movie i ever seen i am still debating if there was a plot to it.. Executive Koala
Police Quest 1-4 Will Arrest Your Attention at GOG.com
That's pretty cool. The first two PQ's were great games, and I'd argue that the second one would still hold it's own against just about any adventure game released since. It suffered from some of the same problems that a lot of the adventures games of the time did (getting your phrase just right). Still it's an excellent game and often overlooked. Hell I'd forgotten about it myself. Unfortunately PQ3 was a little rough, and I never played the 4th in the series, but for $10 I got to say that's not a bad deal.
Final Fantasy XIII Versus is for the PS3. It was the one they announced way back when they also announced FFXIII and they were working on both at about the same time.
FFXIII-2 is a new game for both PS3 and 360.OH HELL YES!
How will it work, all one night, a few weeks?
EDIT: BOOO its going to be super spread out it seems, that kills it.
Vader! Did you get Mass Effect 2 today?!
One night, this is not K1!
No it will be done in one year.
Yeah just saw the news, that sucks. They need to do it weekly or something.
It should be a royal rumble all of them in the ring at once.
Why yes I did, I just got back, time to start installs and crap. But its all LBP2 for now.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit, Yuji Naka working on Wii/3DS action/flight game!

Also, the game seems to have scored 10/10/9/9 on Famitsu, but it's not confirmed yet.

PS3 Hacking shit is getting real. WIth Activision pulling support for online multiplayer for the best selling game of 2010, that can;t be making for good times at Sony.
Western publishers are likely to stop bothering porting for the PS3 if it becomes another PSP. Oh well.
I did find some comedic relief in the hackers having as much problem keeping track of the various SKU's as Sony does, with their hack bricking 60 GB PS3's (yesterday's news).
Not worth posting as a story. Now he just sounds like the homeless guy on the corner ranting: (oh, Pachter of course).
“I think that the 3DS will outsell the PSP2, because the 3DS is new and different, while the PSP2 is likely going to be a souped up version of the old PSP. Thus, I think that 3DS will have greater success in capturing the consumer’s imagination.”"
Congrats on getting a job, Vader.
Sounds like Activision bs to me, no way would that be justified due to hackers or anything else similar... Best to block people from a game altogether because otherwise they may risk encountering a hacker or what the fuck? Just let them play, at least they can play matches with people in their friend lists and what not and avoid public games if the situation is really that bad, which I seriously doubt it is. Besides, the COD games are glitch/exploitfests on their own so some more ways to mess around hardly change much for them.

From what I read at Eurogamer (who had a really detailed breakdown of what the keys problem is, there is not a lot Sony could do). If Sony could do anything, I think they already would have acted. When the largest publisher in the world says they have to shut down multiplayer on the best selling game in the world (which is essentially an online game), you have problems.
If publishers were not paying attention to this before today, this is the wake-up call they need to consider their future on Sony's current platforms.
In this case, I obviously have sympathy for Sony, but it's like Wikileaks all over. It's not the hackers fault Sony had poor security, just as it's not Wikileaks fault the State Department had weak security. It's the owner of the information that is responsible for securing it, not the theifs.
Whether it is BS or not, they said it and the impact is the same. I have to say, my first reaction was that this was Acti passing the buck (given their wretched record of fail on the PS3 version of BLOPS).
What makes this anything like wikileaks? And how was Sony's security poor, it's pretty much the only console to last so long without any piracy. Shit happens. Anyway, I have no idea what crack the Actiision rep was on when he wrote that but nothing like this justifies shutting down a game's servers. Shit, they're keeping the Wii and PC games up, which are wide open. And how does making shit excuses "have the same impact"? They could crap out something similar for the 360, or any system, would that make it true and impactful? How do we even know the connection issues are due to hackers and not some Activision fuck up? And how is the solution to connection issues to shut the servers down? Wouldn't the connection issues remain and in even wider scale in that case?
