I just finished bioshock as well...

bit of a letdown with the standard boss-battle (come on, its an old, stale mechanic) but like hardy said, sadness like finishing a good book.

yeah, gotta replay it to get the good ending. Slaughtering everything probably wasn't in my best interest.

I've been thinking about an xbox360 just cos bioshock looks so awesome.

agreed, wicked marketing.

then again, I prob should just spend money on.....something.....else.

Theres a heap more to the 360 than bioshock. Halo 3, mass effect.. Gta 4... Combine those with the recent price drop and there are plenty of reasons to get one.

have to say that i play the wii more than my housemate's ps3. but that's probably more to do with all his games (except for virtua tennis) being first person shooters! :lol:

tiger woods is great, as is scarface (minus the radikeruss level of tony montana's swearing).

Ken looks like a girl.

I'm sure the japanese had no role in naming that game.

how do you remix a game anyways? and how do you do it in Turbo HD? What is Turbo HD?

Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2007 4:43 pm
by Stray
Yer.. remix is a strange choice of words It's basically a High Def version of Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo.

Although they haven't made the animations of the characters HD so it looks a bit odd.

A League of our own - FIFA 08 to include the A-League.

Fans of the beautiful game will be able to play Australia's A-League competition after Electronic Arts announced yesterday it had added the local competition to FIFA 08.

My HD-DVD drive arrived today. Gonna take a trip tomorrow to pick up a movie or two - already watched King Kong.

The difference between standard DVDs and the HDDVDs is pretty astounding. Pity there isn't a massive range of movies out there yet.

Only if you have a hd tv.. and a big one. Otherwise it's hard to tell the difference.

What tv do you have?

I'm running it through my PC to my Dell 24", using PowerDVD to play the HD-DVDs.

hahahah sony caught editing the Halo 3 wiki page...

http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=42417

and FUCK it is ALREADY the fastest selling game of all time - just on presales.

sony is right: it doesn't look any better than halo 2, however the beta had the best/most innovative multiplayer engine i have seen in a game to date. will be tres rad.

Has the Bioshock update screwed anyone else's game?
It removes the streaming so now it pauses every ten seconds.
poor effort.

Luckily if you hold down both triggers while the game is loading it clears the cache, which removes the update.

What is the update?

I clocked F.E.A.R. last night. Very disappointed with that game, did nt even come close to living up to the hype. Bog-standard FPS that was waaaay too short, and had a storyline that was hard to follow and made no sense at all.

ok its good but i think i'm having more fun flying round in warhawk! Though all the classes are kool but i never thought i'd say this but i might wait for the console version which should have a more simple control system.

Hopefully its better than the beta was. Admittedly coming into it from two years of playing Battlefield 2 probably didn't help - we were hoping for it to be the next big game for us to play.

Warhawk came out on PC as well?
