Well, I finally gave the online portion of Ace Combat 6 a whirl yesterday and
OH MY STARS AND GARTERS  O_O..... it is WICKEEEEEED!!!

Its a bit troublesome to find a low-ping game sometimes (more so now that COD4 and Halo 3 is out)
but WHEN YOU DO.....WHEW!!!  The action moves at a BLISTERING pace!!!  DEFINITELY not for n00bs.
You need to be an Ace Combat veteran to play this game online.

My flying skills were pushed to the absolute limit and beyond.  Imagine trying to dodge 8 long-range
missles at once fired from two different directions by two enemy jets.  Even at 3-to-1 odds, I STILL
managed to shoot down ALL enemy jets at least once. :happy0203:  No mean feat when you consider who you're
playing against.

Xbox 360 owners...GET THIS GAME!!!

first of....as a former game reviewer......generally speaking a game reviewer doesnt know their head from their ass bout a game and why a game is "good" or "not good"
Its a matter of opinion as a game reviewer. MANY times have we played games reviewers thought we terrible and we thought were great.
I remember one reviewer from Gamepro once said he didnt like Jet Set Radio because he is Brittish and didnt like the music.....wtf.

Another thing to note and to get back to my point. You dont rate graphics separately from everything else. You dont say....okay graphics, check....gameplay, check.....storyline, check. These are not independent of each other. A game is created with EVERYTHING in mind. and a GOOD game has the factors to QUANTIFY why they have those implimentations.

a simple game like Brain Age for the DS does not have stellar graphics, and no doubt you could have implemented features that USE stellar graphics. This was not the POINT of the game, the point was GAMEPLAY. It has NO story, its just progress per se and it develops as you do. Using simple dependency features you progress.

To answer your question, NO i would not say a game is crap because graphics are "ordinairy" but then it DEPENDS ON THE GAME.
again.....FPS games MUST have top of the line graphics MOST of the time to be good. This is one of the FOCAL features of a FPS game, its VISUAL presentation.
However playing a game like say.....Wii Sports the graphics are very simplistic but that is not the INTENTION of the game. It focuses on gameplay more than graphics.

I remember a person once said he didnt like Resident Evil 4 (in a preview article i read on Gamasutra.com) because RE is about zombies and these people were not. So they didnt like it. However the story was good, the graphics were great the gameplay was great...so why that? its because he was thinking INDEPENDENTLY of the features of the game.
Sure it SHOULD have zombies because its called RE...but then if you want to nitpick like some of these reviewers do you can say well its Umbrella, they deal in bioweapon warfare and this is another exerpt of that bioweapon warfare, or WHATEVER you can MAKE something up. the POINT is that no one CARES if its zombies or not.......shit trying to kill you, its intense, its fun, it has a compelling storyline and alot of people liked it .....sales and the multiple iterations of it speak for itself.

Bottom line.....you judge graphics, gameplay, storyline, multiplayer and such wrt the genre of game and its presentation. not just by themselves.

shivadee ah give yuh a chakra point for that, well said!

Xbox 360 outsells PS3 in Japan

Gaming round-up 65nm PS3s seen in wild

By Dean Pullen: Monday, 12 November 2007, 10:48 AM

INCREDIBLY, THE Xbox 360 outsold the Playstation 3 in Japan last week.

The Xbox 360 sold 17,673 fueled by Namco Bandai's Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, which debuted at the number two spot behind Super Mario Galaxy on the Nintendo Wii.

The PS3 sold only 17,434 units a slight 200 unit separation, but a significant increase over previous sales.

At least the PS3 is catching up in the development stakes - Call of Duty 4 is reported to be strikingly similar on both platforms, with Joystiq providing videos to prove the similarities.

Now when an 'american' console outselling the Japanese on HOME soil... that's quite a feat!

An excellent article that will help you identify if you're Xbox is 65nm tech or 90nm

Xbox 360 Fall Dashboard Update detailed: DivX, XBLA Hits, and more

Quote
Things were a little different this year. For their second Xbox 360 Fall Dashboard Update, Microsoft decided to trickle the features out instead of dropping them on us all at once. Around Halloween, we realized things were awful quiet, so we asked you what you wanted to see in the Fall Update. On November 7, Microsoft kicked things off by announcing the Parental Timer, a feature we're certain you're all eager to try out. They followed that up on November 13 by confirming Xbox Originals, downloadable Xbox 1 games for your 360. On the 26th, they spilled the beans on the social-networky "Friends of Friends" feature, ostensibly to give paranoid folks some time to disable the functionality (which they can do here). Capping it all off a day later, MS Japan dropped some info, notably the ability to set your real name (your real name is xXsmokezmadbluntz420Xx?), your location, and a brief bio – more of that social networking stuff the kids are crazy about.

Finally, after what seemed an interminable wait, Microsoft was ready to let us in on the big picture. We spoke with Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg about next Tuesday's update and what was still in store. "There are three different categories that speak to a majority of the updates," Greenberg told us.

I do not have a supporting link for this but i just saw on G4 that the Naruto game for the Wii has Xbox Live support that anime fans have alwaysb een craving. Ubisoft is allowing players to play the entire game with all the voices in Japanese by the anime's original cast!

Now if only they could add some morep layable characters for the MP.


Naruto game for wii with xbox live? don't you mean the naruto 4 360? Anyway, so dey have de original voice actors? how great, naruto's voice was starting to get on my nerves ESPECIALLY in the games.

Rented a couple games for 360 recently

Jericho

Okay......it got so so reviews and i can see why. The AI isnt the best, they are okay. The gameplay is cool but the thing is it is chopped up with cut scenes that constantly keep pulling out out of the moment of action. The action is heavy and intense. Good fun. The squad based gameplay is simple at first, but you can make it technical since you can swap out to any of the 6 members of your team (or 3 if you split up).

the thing that i love bout the game though is the characters. Each character in Jericho is COMPLETELY unique. I mean you have Church, the ninjitsu assasin, Black who is the lesbian (yea i know) sniper, a latino heavy gunner Delgado, A priest who has hella power in them pistols, Jones who is your standard weapons guy and my FAVORITE Simone Cole, who is the so called geek but has one of DREADEST abilites.

Girl can hack REAL TIME, and slow time down. Not just that, she can use that time hack to replenish your weapons by litterally hacking your weapon in realtime to put BACK bullets into it.....now that is a cool idea. A reason for everything.....sweet.

The development over the game is so great. You learn more about each one, their personal lives, you learn that Cole HATES being touched, is an aethiest, you learn one of your team members was abused when young and went into Ward 1.....all sorts of wierd stuff.

Point is the character development can really keep you wanting to play the game. Not just that its the freakiest sh!t i have played in a game in a while. Good fun. A rental if you can rent it.


Earth Defence Force.

Now....straight up no brainer kill everything with no point. unlimited ammo....just go shoot.....die.

Thing is it starts off shooting......giant ants....yea........and escalates into you fighting giant walking fortresses and robots. you can jump into helicopters, tanks, hoverbikes and even Mechs....and blow crap up.

Its not a hard game really on Normal level.....its fun for an afternoon and thats it. But lots and LOTS of fun. When you see you start fighting off about 50 or 60 HUGE robots that are 100 times your size its really something. You get weapon upgrades and stuff from rocketlaunchers to shotguns to surface to air missiles....all kinda fun stuff. Again another rental if you can. Can finish this game in an evening.

I remember talking to Redlum across the continents this Christmas about the problems with LIVE. My speculations were correct....increased 360 sales for christmas meaning stress on servers. MS has aknowledged and fixed the issue....AND are giving ALL of us a FREE XBL download of OUR CHOICE!!!
