Ok...

Quote from Zyndrome

But, you haven't played it.

Microsoft is advertising Halo 3 like the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, and I am getting really sick of it. I doubt it is as epic as they are trying to portray it.

It's not really all that surprising though, is it? An advertising budget the size of Halo 3's probably isn't warranted for any game (or thing) but it's become more than just a game release and Microsoft knows that, partly because they created a lot of the hype surrounding it.

I just want a fun game to play

Quote from Zyndrome

Halo 3 is the most overrated game in human history ... so far.

But, you haven't played it.

Quote from Psycho

All games that use a 3D modelling app have some sort of external application to add entities as far as I'm aware.

Lots of companies use modeling packages strictly for all level creation related stuff I think. I'm sure a few of the IOI guys around here will have a bit more info on that if I recall correctly.

Awesome.

Reminds me of how long it's been since I've played that game. That stage clear music brings me back

What's awesome about this though is that you don't need any experience whatsoever, so basically you can assign yourself any position!

Played for a couple hours last night. It's a nice change of pace from BF2, it's a bit faster and a bit more gratifying with the experience system. And it runs pretty well on my two year old system so that's all the more reason to pick it up. Oh, and load times aren't a killer like in BF

ahhh, so little room for a character

I had some good fun with the bit I played of the beta, definitely interested in seeing what's been improved. Should be cool.

Quote from Taylor

Nintendogs was a launch title for the DS, wasn't it? Which has done stupidly well in Japan.But that list looks extremely wrong, where are the sports games? Why is this on a website about guns?

Everyone knows Madden doesn't count anymore.

Quote from ng.aniki

What the hell... Really unbeleavable...

1/That game suck as hell.

2/It's a quite new game, for a new console...

released in Japan on April 21, 2005, and was later released in North America and Singapore on August 22, 2005.

In two years O_O... More than Super Mario Land on GameBoy in 18 years !

Really strange.

(I don't understand japanese ppl)

Not that surprising when you consider the sales numbers of the DS. I've never played Nintendogs myself, but I can imagine it's high on that list for the same reasons Brainage is. And I wouldn't say it's just the Japanese buying it, as far as I know it sold pretty strong in NA/Europe as well.

Quote from dux

Cliche I know, but Alien 1, 2 and especially 3 are just superb for me in terms of ideas. I just look at them and get millions of ideas in seconds.

If you're gonna say 3, may as well say 4.

/going with the crowd

Isn't one 256x256 texture a bit small for bother a character and the vehicle. Maybe two 256x256 maps, one for each?

I'm so gonna try and enter this...

and probably fail

I didn't mind the escort mission too much, though it could have been a lot better if they did more with 'the becoming the big daddy' angle. Obscuring your vision through a divers helmet wasn't enough

Though, the ending with the little sisters jumping Fontaine makes up for the typical end boss design. I was hoping for something a bit more interesting, sort of like what they did with killing off Ryan but gameplay oriented. Just something outside of the typical end boss route

Also, I was kind of confused as to what was going on with the submarine and the Tanenbaum voice over detailing how you're a selfish ass. Counting me out of the good ending for saving all but two of the sisters is a bit harsh.

But all that aside, one of the best games I've played in some time.

The rear wheels look a bit too high poly in comparison to the rest of the frame.

Excellent, a superior performance--ten out of ten answers were correct.




If you got a perfect score on the first try then you're a REAL genius. But, if it took a few tries, then we congratulate you on your perseverance for it shows the CG artists are keeping you guessing. Now check out the bonus round -- if you dare!

Now the bonus round...edit:

Code

You got 4 out of 4 answers correct.




You missed 1. You've come this far so why not try again and go for perfection. See if you can get four correct answers...

Don't mean to brag, but...well...
