| The only thing I don't like about video game books is that the game designers often act as though you've read all of the books and understand the back story. Therefore they leave out any and all back story in the actual game.
I'm thinking about Halo 3 here mainly (I didn't play 1, 2 or read any of the books). Not that Gears 1 explained the back story very well.
They should have some sort of "story recap" to explain things in games like this. Oh well, I guess "Story" isn't the reason I play FPS games... Flag this | Edit this post |

| This is one thing that I always liked about PC gaming, if you upgraded your hardware then your old games ran better and/or looked better. Too bad this isn't the case with any console (so far).
That's one hell of a recommendation for MGS4, BTW. I'm still not buying a PS3, but your enthusiasm is duly noted. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Curing cancer is SO last year, and I hear that Mt. Doom is closing due to operating costs. You may want to auction your instant classic (not in a good way) on ebay and get a true graphics interface like me.
See, I've forgone your petty flat panel displays entirely. I have WiFi 90325.2z rev 666 directly shunted into my brain. I'm live on the InternetMeTube V4 right now.
Heh, I bet you used a keyboard to type in your text, how quaint. Flag this | Edit this post |

| » Agreed
You hit the nail on the head right there!
Vice City didn't take itself seriously, and that's why it was great.
It's not that GTA4 is bad, it's just not what I expected. It was like walking into a movie theater expecting an action/comedy and finding out that it's actually a crime drama. (spoiler alert, sorta) One with a real downer of a moral(ish) ending.
Still, it's a good game. Definitely worth playing and a 95% (or more) game to be sure...
It is what it is. You can't say "No Country for Old Men" is a bad movie just because it's not a comedy. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Agreed, escaping from the cops is really easy now. Just keep an eye on the mini-map for where the cops are ahead of you and drive to avoid them. It also helps to have a fast car, otherwise the cops can keep up with you. Flag this | Edit this post |

| I must be the only person who immediately turned auto-aim off. It's more fun if you have to aim IMO.
Yes, it would be nice to set the default height of the chase cam, as it is I drive around while slightly pushing forward on the right stick to get a better vantage point. Flag this | Edit this post |

| You obviously know more about Superman than I do.
On Kryptonite, why doesn't every neerdowell simply carry some around with him? It always seemed like the stupidest weakness... How can you be allergic to your home planet? Wouldn't they all have died out long ago? Flag this | Edit this post |

| | IMO Soul Calibur on the DC was better than SC2 on the XBox. In fact, I'm one of those people who still has a DC hooked up to their system just for this game. I've not played it in a while, but it will be nice to play it as long as they don't mess up the feel of the controls. Flag this | Edit this post |
