Updates done

When doing the updates, I was reading through some IGN articles. They were so bad I just could not post them. I decided I will not post IGN articles anymore, only news, previews and reviews. If you want them you will have to post them yourself!

I am a bit tired lately, so the volume of updates is decreasing.  Apologies for that!

Punk, whats wrong with Sega owning Guilty Gear?

Of that bourgeoning market, Hayes closes with an interesting assessment on the developers and publishers which wrangle for market supremacy within it: “One could argue that there is an over-supply of high-quality games. Despite the huge growth in the market, the amount of available quality games has outstripped that growth. In other words, consumers have never had it so good – the question is whether this relentless supply is sustainable.”

I really agree with this guy from SEGA. There really are too many quality games today, especially if you own all the machines. There is literally no way in hell you could possibly play every game that averages over a 7.5 rating (I.E. the ones worth your time).

That's why I said when news of Factor 5 and Free Radical came about, it wasn't real surprising. As big as gaming is now....there are SOOO many game companies and SOOO many games that its impossible for them all to succeed.

IMO, there needs to be less developers, less games, but bigger teams at each developer which would in turn make each game that much bigger and grander. As the need for high production values and larger teams grows, this is only inevitable.

IMO companies suceeding and failing is just business. Though the risk is getting too high. IMO the market needs to go through standardization so that some games don't get gimped by userbase (Valkyria Chronicles) and fluctrated budgets should be the norm (accept games on your consoles that look from Banjo & Kazooie HD (360 version) to Crysis on high DX 10 settings). Also review scores don't mean shit.

Kojima's New Projects -

- Kojima appears to be working on 3 to 4 games
- Kojima is designing one of these games himself
- the project that he is self-designing should be able to see a quick release
- one project should be a major player in worldwide sales
- Kojima believes he can get out one game in 2009
- Kojima sees 2009 as being an extremely important year


So Edge what PC games have you been playing?

Err, I'm still gaming on my crappy Compaq, so not much. To my surprise, this thing can run Red Faction 1 on near max settings (looks better than the PS2 version) so I've been playing that. Deus Ex has some kind of odd audio problems, so I stopped trying to play that one.

Palin can't pronounce "nuclear" but she sure has a great "nucular" moose ball recipe.

Sarah loves her moose balls, a delicacy and the most excitin' part of the moose to eat.

The following recipe -- Nu-cu-lar Moose Balls! -- was inspired by that great Serbian testicle chef, Ljubomir Erovic. Sarah tried some of his balls and instantly fell in love. Bottoms up, Ljubomir! (It is believed that Vladimir Putin partakes of Ljubomir's balls before judo sessions.)

Warning! These balls are very darn hot, by golly! Some of you from the 48 may not have the experience to take it. My tip: don't blink!

LOL

Did you guys check out that Mafia 2 trailer? Fucking game is gorgeous. The part with the snow coming down and all the lights in the buildings, IMO it 1-ups the rain scenes in GTA 4.

I didn't play much of the first game, because my PC didn't want to play it. But what I did see was really good. Very atmospheric. If this is better than that, its definitely gonna be a must have for my Beast rig.

I got it on Xbox, didn't take. The 1930s doesn't appeal to me at all, it was very boring. Functionally though it didn't seem that different from GTA, pretty solid game. I will check out the trailer.

Ordered up my mouse and KB.

For my mouse, I've choosen the Razer Deathadder:

Its the one on the right.

For my KB, I've picked the Logitech G11:

The Deathadder has 5 buttons on it, and a nice slim design. The G11 has 18 programmable quick-keys, which is very handy for games like Oblivion with a ton of spells.

You should hook yourself up to one of those Cyber VR sex stimulation devices. PC rules.
