No, it did not live up to its billing. Yes, it is still an incredibly fun game. But more than being a sim game, Spore echoes many titles on this year’s top ten list by being a creation engine. Half the fun of the title can be had from creating different creatures, homes, ships, etc. through an incredibly intuitive interface. Not what you wanted from the game? Perhaps not for you, but it hardly keeps it from being a good game, or in this case one of the best of the year.
Microsoft would like you to know that since dropping the price on the Xbox 360 (all three SKUs), that they have seen sales double. That’s right, two times the sales before the price drop. Of course, that’s hardly a coup with their last place sales as of late.
There’s a new video out that showcases the Xbox 360’s new install feature. Essentially, it allows you to copy the entire game disc over to your hard drive and play it, one would presume, with less load time. Of course, all of this is still dependent on the fall dashboard update.
The NBA Live series was once the dominant basketball franchise back in the 16-bit days. But for years now it has been overshadowed by 2K Sports’ NBA 2K series. Each year Electronic Arts makes new promises, and each year they’re still a few steps behind.
Sonic Unleashed is the last glimmer of hope among many Sonic fans that the little blue Hedgehog might finally get one last decent console game. It’s been a while since Sonic Adventure 2, and even that was a step down from the original Sonic Adventure. The above trailer appears to be part of a semi-viral advertising campaign for the little blue fellow. It’s clever, but it might have worked better before other trailers were released revealing the game’s “twist.”
There was a time when E3 was a really, really big deal. Now, it’s simply a really big deal. One of the biggest factors of its whole big dealness comes from the console manufacturers’ press conferences. They typically range from the epic (introduction of the Wii) to the horribly, horribly wrong (introduction of the PS3 and real-time weapon changing). So how did this year go for Microsoft?
File this one under bizarre, but this young man has suddenly put some impressive work into his hobby. The video showcases a young man who has essentially recreated all of Halo’s weaponry from cardboard. Sure, that isn’t as impressive as some models, but considering the time and effort spent by someone so young, this is well worth seeing. When you see him pull out the machine gun turret, that’s when you know this kid is truly cool.
Well, after much hype and hope, we finally have our first look at Banjo Threeie, the third in the Banjo Kazooie series. How does it look so far? Well, actually, it looks a lot like Diddy Kong Racing 2 so far. Actually, a whole lot like it.
The original Gears of War is mostly a take it or leave it kind of game. With all the hype surrounding it, many were turned off by its less-than-revolutionary gameplay. Still, those people were obviously in the minority as the game sold a ton and helped cement the Xbox 360’s position ahead of the PS3 for a while to come (no such luck with the Wii).
If there’s one thing that keeps Halo 3 fresh, it’s the opportunity to kill your teammates in wonderfully wild, inventive manners. Yes, your teammates. Killing the other guy is so last gen. Anyway, here are two of the best betrayal videos out there.
