Hi guys. "I will keep slugging away no matter how confused I am." That's what I submitted. I like games with all different types of difficulty curves. And sometimes I like a game even before I have begun to surmount that curve. In fact, I am especially enchanted by games whose mechanics...

I giggle when I read complaints about the ds3 or 360 pad. Both of these controllers are heaven on earth compared to some abominations of the past. I'm big on my retro stuff so I am often playing with a wide variety of controllers. The DSx and the 360 pad are mainly diffenerent in the...

On-point as usual. In addition: All games have a replayability factor even if it never crosses the mind of the designer. We replay all games. No game is a single-use. The question is: how much of this game do you want to play? The issue of "campaign length" is important when you consider...

Well Renegade, I'd say that if there was ever a place to nit-pick graphics this is it. That's why I read b3d. =) I'm torn looking at the graphics because the back of my brain has the technical details sort of floating around and not adding up to anything groundbreaking, yet before my eyes I'm...

Hey! Who said "simply gunning"? I had to do everything in my power to get past most of the areas!!! My second playthru I did Solid Normal and I found that If I really cared to, I could usually win an extended shootout without proper planning. Which, in a way... is actually more free form...

Huh. That's weird I havn't noticed the jumps to 60. I'm usually pretty sensitive to framerate. Especially when I notice the drops all the time. Hmmmm.... Anyhow, Shifty glad you are trying out the game. As somebody who spends lot of their limited cognitive capacity thinking about game...

My vote goes to Big Boss Hard,which is the hardest one available at the outset. The dowside: Places where you are forced to fight (boss fights, generally) can get very difficult, and frustrating because there is nothing to do but fight! The upside: The rest of the game comes into it's...

It was a joke. :p I'm Crayon. And I'm standing right in the middle of the picture ... (playing as Snake), so there's no real need to find me. EVERYBODY STOP LOOKING FOR THE CRAYON NOW. Here's another one. Here.... you'll see me about to get wasted because I was fumbling around with the...

Anyone else find the digital camera? CAN YOU FIND THE CRAYON IN THIS PICTURE?

I have not noticed these jumps to 60fps. I have noticed frequent (as in... anytime something interesting happens) dips below 30. This game really spends alot of time just sniffing 30fps but never really holding it as the action piles on. I sort of wish the PS3 evolved more closely to the...

AI doesn't neccessarily have to act like people to be complex or good. Playing on The Boss Exreme, I was having a problem I didn't have so much before. I would be at a great distance from a soldier, moving slowly with a strong (50+) cammo index and he would "huh?" notice me from all that...

I got Metal Gear Solid 4 at a midnite launch and started playing a new game on Big Boss Hard. I am now almost done with the game. I've played over 30 hours. I am playing with a whole lot more restarts and deaths than the average player. I have been trying to make it thru the game by any means...

It's hard for me to feel ripped off after parting with a measely 3 dollars. Yet here I am. Gig and a half of Qore sitting on my hard drive. Three dollars not in my pocket. I found the content lacking. Bigtime. Of course, I was soured by being smacked in the face with a spoilerific...

Oh crap, Scud/Super GT? That game was simply sublime. Too bad I never encountere a four player unit, such that I could kick 3 asses at once. *sigh* At a Dave n' Busters bar in Milpitas California they maintain an 8-player deluxe cabinet Daytona USA setup. Everything works, it's elevated, and...

Virtua Racing Genesis runs so fast and smooth. And it was one of the early examples of Sega AM's almost supernatural ability to downport state of the art games. Besides an issue with down-track visibility due to resolution, the genesis game really does recreate the gameplay of the arcade. I play...
