I don't think DMC or GoW are better than KH2's gameplay btw (which is like the ultimate action/adventure gameplay type if you ask me..)... but we'll see how Heavenly Sword turns out.

[Elcura]

DMC is different then KH2. KH2 is pretty button bashy compared to DMC, which requires pretty precise movement to pull off moves/combos. I find both fun though, although DMC definity had the edge on difficulty

[Deejay]

More games need to be like KH, gameplay wise. The battle system imo is just plain fun. Ninja Gaiden, GoW, and DMC are all fun in their own right, but nothing really plays like KH's.

Have you guys honestly not seen the new trailer to MGS4...If not...I suggest you do.

Pretty cool video showing more game play of LBP.

This coming from a guy who never really got into the metal gear series. But the trailers I saw at E3 for MGS4 looked well... pretty bat shit insane and pretty fucking amazing. Not enough to warrant dropping $660 to play it, but still pretty awesome :<

While I do think Ninty has this generation won over simply because they attracted the casual/non gamer demographic, and Microsoft has the overall best software lineup. I will say that Sony definitaly had the best E3 showing and made me quite interested for the first time in a PS3. I won't get one till they get a real price drop >.> and more than just 2 games I want are out for it. But I don't really see it as a 600 dollar doorstep anymore! But yeah, MGS4 and that other game that the name slips me right now, something Drake adventures or something look pretty damn amazing.

Well, finally got a try out a Wii as it arrived in the mail for me. I damn near took my arm out of its socket swinging the thing before I realized it's easier for some of the Wii Sports games to just flick your wrist fast.

There was also a large house plant next to me and I managed to take off a couple of leaves, got in trouble with my fiance's parents for that one...but mostly because the plant started leaking sap on their hardwood floors.

The best part is though is how the dad, who is a golf fan, got so into it. I don't think I've EVER seen him play video games, but he took to it. While we were away for most of the weekend, we (me and my fiance) think he turned it on, created a Mii for himself, and got pro status in golf. It's hilarious to us.

I wanted to get a more in-depth golf game like Tiger Woods Golf, but some of the reviews kind of scared me off of it because the motion stuff is quirky and the graphics aren't as good as they could be on a GC or Wii. I heard there is another golf game out, just wondering if it's any good. Forgot to look up the reviews for that one.

Man what the crap so many cars on the screen. Also this is coming out this october (GT5 Prologue). http://www.gran-turismo/jp/gt5p Official site went up but got hammered and is down atm. Saved those screens though.

[ertyu]

wow holy fucking shit. I thought that was real for a second. The cars and the road look like... better than real life quality <_< only thing that tipped me off that it wasn't was the einvronment, doesn't look that spectacular to me but god damn that looks good. I hate racing games that aren't mario kart but I'll even attest to how amazing that looks lol.

lol, wth game is this, it looks very un-fun.

Edit: yeah i got the name...but what is the point of the game, they are just running from left to right jumping over or going through stuff, doesn't seem very entertaining at least from that video.

+ Can crawl forward like a looper by getting the hip up and down
+ Can take away enemy's weapons
+ Can roll around sideways while lying down
+ Can use an electric stun knife to stun an enemy

+ The viewpoint can be switched to over-shoulder.
+ The FPS viewpoint is also available. A crosshairs is controllable by SIXAXIS
+ Hiding in a trash can for a too long time adds bad smell to Snake and enemies can sense it
+ You can turn off Octocam by shaking SIXAXIS
+ Snake uses SIXAXIS when he controls Metal Gear MKII
+ Metal Gear MKII is in the stealth mode and it's hard for enemies to spot it

Ploid all that stuff is cool that you posted but to me rather irrelevant compared to the little "MGS4 Wii" you have above that picture of snake. Did you just unknowingly and teasingly suggest that this is coming out for the Wii or is that really happening, I haven't been able to find anywhere that it's coming out for anything but the playstation 3.

i didn't even see that there was text under the pic or I woulda checked.

I really think that shrinking text should be an instantly bannable offense, I don't think anything is more annoying.

[Ploid]

Yea I hate small text also, but BG is like the only site I visit that use it so much. There were no [spoiler] tag. I guess I should have said PS2.

This looks cool, its actually an expansion to MPO, with MGO (MGS3 online maps), all the soldiers in the mgs series, raiden, johnny, roy campbell, and old snake and more, also looks like you can use HF blade XD

Trailer is here:

Some people have said the trailer wont work, but it works fine for me.

[Oxyminus]

so I finally opened RE4 (metroid prime addiction is becoming a problem) digging it a lot, its a bit of a departure from the slower paced RE's I remember. getting used to it, and how to deal with mass amounts of zombies, soooo cool. so far i've yet to experience that holy shit i just scared myself i think i wet my pants sorta moment, but can absolutely never be relaxed walking around. only things i dont like is no direct key to the map, and being able to simply walk backwards would be clutch, and headshots with the pistol do jack


and im pretty darn sure i fucked up my set of cables one time switching from Wii to my dvd player. when i access the wii menu its grainy and somewhat staticy, and when playing RE4 these nasty things of colored static would pop up, gonna grab a new set otw to work and hope its the cables, pretty sure i didnt fuck up my baby yet.

I did not see this coming. Peter Moore resigned from Microsoft.

[Ploid]

Well his replacement was hanging around him during the microsoft conference and did the "Golden axe!...yeah...I heard a big shout out for golden axe!" presentation.

Oh, and before there was Peter Moore at xbox there was Allard.
