You forgot TMNT for the GBA. It seems like the retailers have forgotten it also (my local gamestop isn't even getting it I had to order it online).

Its also probably going to be the best TMNT of the new turtle games. From the screenshots and the Nintendo Power review its going to play like the old school Turtle games.

I should also mention the DS game is a completely different game more like a 'Lite' version of the console games from what I've read about it. And not very good at that.

Actually last I checked EQ1 still had 200k subs. About 20k more than EQ2. I completely agree though its not a game for newbies as its pretty dead at all levels but the top end.

They are milking it but at least vet players that don't want to play a different mmo are getting new content.

As for myself I played for almost 5 years and I don't see myself going back. The game is too centered around hardcore raiding. The dungeons, monsters, and dragons expansions helped with their instanced dungeons and monster missions (The monster missions being actually really fun) but without raiding you can't make any real progression unlike later MMO' which offer you a choice (WoW atleast you can do 5 mans and pvp).

Wait its a FPS? I saw this comming soon on gamestop but I thought it was a RTS. Are there any in game movies floating around of this? Sounds interesting.

I'm a sucker I can't help it but the gameplay is just like BF2 a blast.

Problems:

No Widescreen support (WTH this is 2006)

Bugs (tons of them)

Jerky movement of infantry feels 'off' just like BF2 imo.

If they fixed the above this would be a 90% or so game even though it is just a mod. As it stands now I'd give it a 60-75%. If you really like the gameplay grab it but if your not a big fan of the gameplay (titan mode is awesome) then don't bother because the problems will bug you.

It was already M rated (17+) which is the same as an R rating for a movie. In my mind that in itself should be plenty for San Andreas even with the hot coffee.

Sure it was content that was actually on the disc but it was disabled and you needed a mod or game shark (for the ps2 version I think?) to access it.

The Oblivion rating was another one I thought was completely stupid. (IMO though it did need to be originally rated M) Its not Bethesda's fault that the ESRB didn't actually play it.

I really hate the idea of censor ship but I don't see anything really changing atm. Just look at Saints Row for 360 its just as bad or worse than the GTA series as far as naughty content.

Thats not to say I'm buying it however. The demo was a full rip off of the GTA series and adding fat hookers into the game doesn't make it 'edgey' it makes it stupid. Dead Rising, Godfather, or maybe even Scarface will get my sandbox gaming dollar.

The REAL problem is parents are not parents. They'd rather blame games rather than their poor judgement when buying games for their children. There is a rating system USE IT.

A friend sent me a copy of the pc gamer demo yesturday and I can't stop playing it. The resource gathering style from Dawn of War is a nice change from standard RTS games and with all the different types of cover (that can be blown to hell) and the way tanks work this is going to be a great game.

I was only semi interested until I played the demo. Now I'm going to preorder it.

The only complaint I have thus far is I can't seem to skip the logos and in game movies. After playing the demo through multiple times this does get old.

Can't wait to see how multiplayer plays out.

Will it support widescreen and have better load times VS BF2? If so I'm in. BF2 has awesome gameplay but its buggy, bloated, and lacks widescreen support :(

So how's the framerate? I'm curious after hearing about Quake 4's issues on the 360.

Wait so I was only using one of my 7800 GT's? Wow sweet. I'm running at 1680x1050 high settings 4x AA and its smooth. Can't wait to see the fps with SLI enabled.

Ugh hell has frozen over when I agree with Jon Stewart.

You know 8 years ago I was a Republican (conservative but not a nut) but with this mess and other things going on (illegal wire taps etc..) it makes me question my party affiliation.

This is not to say I'd ever vote for the likes of Hillary Clinton however. =D

*shrugs* I enjoyed Episode 1 from start to finish. I do agree that it was a little short but it was quality.

As for the commentary system I loved it. Only played back through it half way so far though with it turned on.

On the widescreen support issue its there you just have to edit the config file ala doom3 (seems like the correct FOV also when you set widescreen to 16:10 in options).

As for the game itself its got some crazy gameplay elements and I really like it (played through the single player demo twice and played a little multiplayer). I had lost all interest in this game until i noticed the demo was out this morning. Now I'm thinking about picking it up.

The only problem is I've never gotten motion sickness from a game before and this one has me feeling kind of dizzy. I will have to probably leave the multiplayer alone on this one due to it even though its a lot of fun (nailing some guy walking on the ceiling is great fun).

I mean come on I can't resist a game thats got BOC, Judas Priest, and The Nuge in it.

Is it just me or did they sort of try to use Prey as a teaser to Duke Nukem Forever? Main character has an attitude crazy weapons and gameplay. The only thing missing is a shrink ray and some good one liners.

Cossacks II was awesome IMO. Unsure what the expansion is adding though. For some reason I'm a fan of most of the CDV stuff they make some neat sort of 'nichey' RTS games.

Good maybe it will fix the stability problems (pc version) that make it almost unplayable and when it is playable it chugs outdoors at any setting (On a 4400x2, 2 gig of ram, 7800GT SLI rig!).

Though I kind of doubt it. They are too busy trying to $2 us to death with 'mini expansions' and 'horse armor'.
