Console Wars - the revenge

For god's sake, why?

Also, I have to call shenanigans as I just checked your profile and you have the game too!

[Kuciwalker]

We've been over that... a friend is playing it on my xbox because she doesn't have one. That's why I know it's terrible.

[DrSpike]

Your friend is playing it because she owns Xbox games but no Xbox. As you do.

I'm baffled....

But my mom just got done telling me she wants a Wii.

My Mom.

This is a lady who's gaming experience is limited to:

Breakout (Atari 2600)
Duck Hunt (NES)
Tetris (original Gameboy and Gameboy advance)
And the most recent....

Mah Jong (PC)

Quite literally, those are the only things she's ever played. Yet, she wants a Wii.

For "some dance game I saw and the bowling thing".

So...looks like I'll be buying one after all. For my dad to give my mom. (Dad works for the railroad so isn't home to look himself and asked me to find one, since I'm the gamer of the family. So, I got to find one, get it over to their house while dad is home sometime and mom is not.)

We'll have to see how hard I have to look, and how much a 'shortage' there is, then...

Surely the parental controls on the Xbox can do SOMETHING about that?

/me blinks

If I hate Eternal Sonata so much, why would I be playing it? And if I were playing it, wouldn't that make my opinion more relevant?

[DrSpike]

Just teasing.

You will be pleased to know I played the demo and decided to cancel (still geting Orange Box though). The game wasn't bad (and the combat was quite good fun) but reviewing how many games I've got to play it doesn't seem worth getting it right now.

Bioware is developing and MS is publishing Mass Effect 2 and 3, not EA.

Mass Effect has also just passed 1 million sales.

I'm glad you did. I thought the game was a huge drag. I am dying for a good RPG, I am eager to play Mass Effect, but I really want a Final Fantasy-type RPG to play. I have long opposed remaking older games, like the earlier Final Fantasy games, but I really think now is a great time to see Final Fantasy III for the current gen - specifically, 360

Not some Mozart bull****

I wasn't that impressed with Orange Box. Half-Life is just a ****ty FPS.

Nice job with the Gamerscore, BTW. Everyone's beating it seems

Yes, and Halo 3 passed 5 million I believe. And Mass Effect was expected to sell only 300k copies or so.

Yes, like give a RROD upon inserting the game.

Just as long as they develop-and-publish ME for the PC at some point in the not too distant future...
