it's just trying to make a point about modern os code bloat, which is both true and poignant.saintberry wrote:such a shit article its laughable.

the point of the article was to compare a snapshot machine from the late '80s compared to one from now.
(i've got a huge soft spot for the old mac os, as i used to write a lot of apps in assembler.)

The tracklist for Guitar Hero 3 is looking sweet!
Here's a list of the tracks that have been announced so far:
Paint It Black: The Rolling Stones
Cherub Rock: Smashing Pumpkins
Sabotage: Beastie Boys
The Metal: Tenacious D
My Name is Jonas: Weezer
Knights of Cydonia : Muse
Rock And Roll All Nite: Kiss
School's Out: Alice Cooper
Slow Ride: Fog Hat
Cult of Personality: Living Colour
Barracuda: Heart
Paint it Black is a master track, brought into the game from the original four track recording. Playing along with the ghostly sitar riff laid down by Brian Jones over 40 years ago is simply awesome. Sabotage is also a master track and is pretty much designed around the co-op experience. The song is fairly repetitive and easy, which isn't too surprising given the song. Still, with the volume turned up, the classic is fun nonetheless.
The Living Colour song, Cult of Personality, is a track that people have been wanting in Guitar Hero for a long time. There was a slight hitch with it though. The master track was nowhere to be found. Instead of getting a cover, Living Colour came in and re-recorded the song just for the game. And they threw in a wicked solo that makes this song on expert just plain ridiculous.
Two new tracks are also being announced today, exclusively on IGN. They are:
Evenflow: Pearl Jam
Lay Down: Priestess
Evenflow is a much more fun song to play than the previous Pearl Jam song we've seen, Life Wasted, which was one of the 10 new tracks included on the Xbox 360 iteration of Guitar Hero II. It's also a master track, so you won't have to wonder how it will turn out other than note placement.
Lay Down is also a master track and it's one of those nice surprises that Guitar Hero games are known for. Priestess isn't a member of the rock pantheon so you might not have heard about them yet, but this metal song is a ton of fun to play. It's fairly fast and has a great riff to it. It isn't the toughest song to play, but the fast nature of it make it a nice choice for a Guitar Hero III battle.

im thinking about giving pc gaming the flick, biting the bullet and getting a new console.
you guys have had access to them for awhile now, think i should go for Xbox 360 or Wii? bear in mind all i want to do with it is play games.

Yeah I'd get a 360.
One of our publishers has decided to not make games for the wii at the present moment as the installer base is too small in comparison to the cost of actually making the game.
While it is more expensive to create a game for the 360 or ps3 these two platforms can share assets which in affect makes them cheaper to develop for than the wii.
Also, for one our big games we are considering dropping the ps3 version in favour of a PC version.
Costs are the same but we are more likely to sell more units on PC.
Although to be honest, I don't actually think that will happen.

ive got a ds but to be honest the collection of games you can get in australia is shite, there are tonnes of good japanese games but unfortunately i cant read japanese.
bloody puzzle quest was developed in australia and still doesnt have a release date here months after the US release.

You need to go to Dungeon Crawl on Elizabeth and Bourke. They've got loads of cool US and European imports that are in English and are region free.sneaky hands wrote:ive got a ds but to be honest the collection of games you can get in australia is shite, there are tonnes of good japanese games but unfortunately i cant read japanese.

I downloaded the demo of - Hour of Victory on live the other night and it sucks, how hard is it to make a WW2 FPS? There are enough of them now I would have thought it would be very easy.
Though I did like some of their controls which worked well esp compared to COD3. Most notably being able to lean which is something I thought we had mastered a number of years back!!
