I'll get it when it gets cheaper. I'm waiting for Red Dead Redemption first.

Yeah.... some games just don't look better in HD. All the blur and softness in old games is to hide the flaws. And HDTVs feck up SD signals so much, HD versions end up looking like the original game on an SD set. Some of Ubisofts HD versions of Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia looks horrible. Prince of Persia 1 and 2 in HD looks like a sharp N64 game.

I don't think next gen will have backwards compatibility. The big three will just sell consoles with a lot of memory and make you download their old titles.

Spring break is here! I have a little spring break tradition, where I purchase one game just for spring break. This year, that game is Bulletstorm. This semi -tradition started with Conker in 2001. Good times.

Nintendo likely will have Wii backward compatibility. I'd be surprised if they didn't.

FFFUUU! I liked Deus Ex . Never finished it, but the fist three levels were quite good.
