To the best of my knowledge I haven't encountered anything like that, tho on SWAT particularly I do find I get spawn killed too easily, YUH HEAR THAT RED, SWAT IS SH1T
Kinect has heard grumbles from people over its high pricing, and failure to work correctly. Now MS have essentially confirmed that the picky Kinect can’t function well in messy, loud, or poorly lit environments – which basically describes 90% of the gaming rooms out there. read more
If you’re like us you’ll already be swinging Move controllers around your head in an effort to slay your foes, defeat your opponents and otherwise claim victory in the digital playground. But it’s not all about Sony, Microsoft’s pitch at the motion-control market is looming on the horizon and there has been heated debate over which is best. Who will “beat” who? We think it’s all a matter of perspective…
In China, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and the other major consoles are effectively banned, and are only sold on the country’s gray market.In their place, a bunch of zany home-made consoles have emerged from China-based entrepreneurs. Hence, while the rest of the world has the Nintendo Wii, China has the Vii, and also the Wü. And, just as many of us will be able to purchase Microsoft’s hands-free Kinect controller from November, Chinese gamers will get the EBox.… Sorry?Well, the EBox is yet another homegrown Chinese game platform that, like another console I could mention, will provide users with a controller-free experience when it debuts in early-2011.
Is it that time of the decade already? Yup, it is, and it couldn’t have come soon enough.The next generation of video game consoles is coming up like all generational leaps tend to; in a clandestine fashion. Despite the incredibly high quality of titles that have come from the past year, (Super Mario Galaxy 2, Halo: Reach, Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 2, and God of War 3 on the short list) video game sales are down across the board. With advancements in 3D technology, the dawn of social networking, and motion controls appealing to our species’ growing mass of idiocy, the pieces are all in place for the big three to start all over yet again. Gaming is in need of a reason to get excited, and this is exemplified by severe stagnation of the system that shook the industry four year ago. My friends, the reign of the Nintendo Wii is at its ending. And yes, the doors are locked permanently.The Wii’s sales are down by 45% on a year-by-year basis. This week last year, the Wii doubled the sales of the Xbox 360. Doubled. This year? The Wii is trailing the 360 by over thirty thousand units. The Wii is in fourth place, behind the DS, the Xbox 360, and even the Playstation 3 (which is kind of like trailing a runner that keeps punching himself in the balls). The Wii’s game library isn’t doing much better. Software sales can be kindly described as “continually lagging,” and accurately described as “laughably terrible.” The console is in a downward spiral, and interest in the system has tumbled from its peak. Now that the Nintendo 3DS is coming out with visuals that can rival the Wii’s, Nintendo must make a change in how they view their system’s hardware. Simply adding the power necessary to keep the Wii afloat via a peripheral would be unbelievably stupid and costly, especially since Nintendo already tried that before with hilarious results:
