I read on gamer pro just recently about Microsoft confirming that Bungie is feverishly working on a new Halo game that didn’t involve Halo Wars or Halo Chronicles.

A lot of players are below 80, but I only went over the important guys. No one wants to hear about Tatum Bell’s 75, or Marcus Thomas’s 73. As for the ratings? I dunno, I guess you can think of it like a percentage. 99 is very good (I think there is only a very occasional 100) and 60 is pretty bad.

Comment on Madden 09: Running to the Shelves by Tricky T

Tricky T — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:20:17 +0000

Just wondering, why use a 1-100 rating if no player dips below 80? Couldn’t they use a 1-10 rating? Makes sense to me. Anyways, totally agree with your thoughts on some of the high ratings for some of those RBs. Too bad Justin Gatlin didn’t make the NFL, just for Madden fun. He would have a 100+ speed rating. You could rip circles around everyone, but never catch a ball because his catching would be at like 20…

Comment on Madden 09: Running to the Shelves by Ben

Ben — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 03:46:58 +0000

The Edge getting a 92? I definitely have to agree with you on that rating being extremely bloated. Personally I would put him at highest an 86-88. Willie Parker, while only managing 2 TD’s rating is still accurate I would say, his overall is high, but I’m sure his goaline (toughness) rating would not be as high, we have to remember that he is NOT Jerome Bettis.

I’m actually kind of sad that the KOTOR franchise is taking a stab at the whole MMO thing. I really wanted another RPG like the first 2. I wouldn’t have cared if they had used the same engine and everything, I just want KOTOR 3!

Comment on Animal Crossing: City Folk Confirmed by Tricky T

Tricky T — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:54:56 +0000

From the few videos I saw, it looked like they had just repackaged the GC version after adding in a bigger city plaza. The townsfolk were the same, the talking bubbles were the same, the houses looked the same, I mean EVERYTHING looked the same including the graphics. Personally I’m disappointed and I enjoyed the original AC. Although the videos I saw did not point out all the new features which do sound pretty good.

Comment on Rage Trailer Observations by Simon

Simon — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:35:12 +0000

All they needed to do was give us some damn detail. We still know hardly anything about it! When this game was first announced, it seemed like it was strictly a proof of concept game for the Tech 5 engine. But it (the engine) is supposed to go open source at some point, so hopefully we’ll see some cool cross-platform mods, or SOMETHING.

Comment on Final Fantasy XIII… On 360! by Tom

Tom — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 08:02:32 +0000

wow, dan. thassa mean thing ta say. The 360 has a huge market of hardcore gamers, and I have no doubts that square-enix’s flagship franchise will thrive there. Nonetheless, I’m completely with Simon. This has been a Sony franchise since 1996, and most of the FFXIII trailers up to this point have said “On PS3- EXCLUSIVELY” in their end credits up to this point.

Microsoft must have dropped an absolutely INSANE amount of money to get this along with the limited exclusivity on Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean, and Infinite Undiscovery.

yeah, yeah, there’s area effect, but that’s not what we’re talking about. i know there are traps and fire spells and bone walls and the like. in the d3 video, however, it showed the fluidity of basic attacks dealing what was essentially splash damage to enemies that the attack animation came into contact with. basically, it takes more from the visual side of things and implements it into the results of combat actions.

Comment on FPS: Controller vs. Keyboard & Mouse by Tom

Tom — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 06:50:18 +0000

@ Bryan: they aren’t meant to be used against each other. games are designed for console or designed for pc, and as far as difficulty and competition are concerned, it’s all scaled back to square one with every player using the same peripheral.

every game’s difficulty is equalized to the equipment of the player to ensure that it’s always playable, beatable and as accessible as possible.

a poor player gets owned by the top guns no matter which platform he uses.

Comment on FPS: Controller vs. Keyboard & Mouse by Bryan

Bryan — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 19:18:34 +0000

To whom it may concern. To the advent of XBOX and XBOX Live. PC FPS were dominate. In fact thtey still are. I have read through various forums and find it sickening how this yonger generation of gamers claim they have the “real mccoy” The Quake serious, Unreal Series, Call of Duty series, Battlefield series, Medal of Honor series, yep you guessed it all had there start on PC. Not console.

What I find today with XBOX is the unlimited amount of mods for the XBOX controller. In fact making them programmable. And you can always tell when someone has one with specific weapons. I.E G3 on Call of Duty 4 etc.

Getting to the main topic. Keyboard or Controller. But have there uses. People complain that the keyboard is uncomfortable. The keyboard takes time to master. And a great “custom” set up. And a high quality optical mouse. My last PC shooter that I played religously was configured with 13 buttons.

Precision is the name of the game, not spray and pray. Overall as mentioned above, take the average FPS player from XBOX give him a controller with a copy of quake III arena and play instagib against a guru.

You will find the true meaning of being “owned” as all of us “old school” PC gamers are concerned.

Oh and another thing…its called a preview for a reason. It is a look at things to come. This by no means looks be a full complete build of the game. I am sure that RK still has a lot of optimization to work on and audio to input/fix. To call it a bad flash game is foolish - keep in mind this is a handheld title.

I agree with David. If PVP requires no skill, then it is based only on the equipment you posses. I can explain myself with this poor analogy: Imagine if being good at basketball was based on the shoes you wear and nothing else. Well, then I would just go out and buy myself those Nike Superflys (trademark…please don’t sue) and make a lot of money!

Comment on Madden 09: Nit Picking Quarterback Ratings by Tom

Tom — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 01:20:12 +0000

it would be more alarming if they’d rated him higher than 79. i mean, yeah it’s a little high for a quarterback who hasn’t really ever shown us true speed, but it’s not really a “high” rating. it’s a solid rating, but it’s not saying he’s the flash.

Comment on Madden 09: Nit Picking Quarterback Ratings by David

David — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 23:56:34 +0000

I guess my point is that, if he truly was the 3rd fastest starting QB in the league, he’d use this god given ability a little bit more, and maybe put up some decent numbers in that category.

Comment on Madden 09: Nit Picking Quarterback Ratings by Ben

Ben — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 23:08:52 +0000

Also to add, in the 06 season, Peyton had the second most rushing TD’s by a QB, and he certainly will not have a high speed rating, even though he runs for TD’s sometimes.

Comment on Madden 09: Nit Picking Quarterback Ratings by Ben

Ben — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 23:05:54 +0000

Just to touch on McCown’s speed rating, it doesn’t necessarily have to reflect how often he runs the ball, speed also has to do with scrambling, and playing behind to terrible O-lines in Detroit and Oakland, I’m sure McCown can scramble a little bit.

I still play along with MANY others in the community, you can still update your rosters through our releases that you install onto your action replay device for your xbox. the game is amazing and can never be overshadowed by EAs monopoly franchise of sub-par games. I LOVE the franchise mode, a few of us have hacked the game to bits to allow extra features developed by us.

Love the game, but I hope the PvP don’t become too skillbased. I see the potential of ruined PvP because of jumping, timing and other things I suck at.
