EGM September: "Reviews Bioshock 10, 10, 10 GOTM Heavenly Sword 8, 8, 9 Warhawk 8.5, 7, 8.5 MySims 6, 5.5, 6.0 Sonic Rush Adventure 7.5, 7.0, 7.0 Wild Arms 5 8, 6.5, 5 Eternal Sonata 6, 8, 7 Madden 2008 9, 9, 8.5 NHL 2008 (EA) 9.5, 9, 9 Medal of Honor Airborne 6.5, 8, 5.5 Rumors -Capcom working on Okami Wii -Kingdom Hearts spinoffs/prequels for various systems similar to what Square-Enix is doing with FF & DQ -Castlevania for 360 and PS3 in the works -Oblivion PSP canned? -New Jak and Daxter game from Naughty Dog after Uncharted" Surprised Bioshock got all tens considering they've only done that like 12 times in their 20 or so year history. EDI: I don't have this or anything and I took it from another source. They said Warhawk was deducted a full point off each score for being +30$. So it got great scores from the usually tough EGM reviewers.

mother f***er s***. god dammit im so tired of this s*** what the f***

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 24, 2007 -> 04:52 PM) (counter-strike...prolly the best ever online fps) Ahem. That would be Team Fortress. 12 years now and still going strong. It's been a long wait for 2 though, that is for sure.

I hate that feeling you get before a sore throat. You know when there's a ever slight discomfort in the back of your throat, only for it to pop up into a full blown sore throat at the worst possible time. I'm going through that stage now.

TimeSplitters, Perfect Dark, and GoldenEye were all much better FPSs(At least for their time) than Halo was, especially the non-advancement of Halo 2. I trust Haze to continue the lineage of excellence.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 05:48 AM) The Watkins clearinghouse stuff is a lie, the reason he's back in Cali is he's homesick and the staff is trying to convince him to not change his mind and go to school back close to home. The academic stuff is pure nonsense, and the fact Bruce added it in the presser proves he's trying to quell that notion that some of us know. I'm thinking it has to do with his 5 different high schools.

Something tells me that's not going to happen.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Aug 18, 2007 -> 06:50 PM) So I bought a PS3 yesterday along with Madden. I have to say Im not that happy with Madden this year. The controls are different and its missing some little features I liked like being able to create players after you start a dynasty and training camp drills before the season to improve your players attributes. Im sure it will grow on me once I get the hang of it though. My question is, Im looking to get another game and I was wondering what anybody with a PS3 thought would be a good game to buy. I generally only like sports titles but Im open to anything that is good. So far Im leaning towards Fight Night Round 3. Any other suggestions? Resistance Resistance Resistance Resistance Resistance Resistance

Um, wow?

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 18, 2007 -> 01:17 AM) Did anyone see/going to see 'King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters' this weekend? If you haven't heard of it, it's a documentary about two men who have opposite personalities trying to set the world record high score in the arcade game Donkey Kong. So far on rottentomatoes, there are 31 positive reviews to 1 negative review. I believe it's only a limited release right now. And I don't think Chicago was one of those cities.

I have no idea what my comp's specs are, but any chance it runs on a 4 year old computer that was pretty top of the line at the time?

Bioshock is getting some crazy scores: oxm uk 10 / 10 pc gamer uk 95 / 100 pc zone 96 / 100 eurogamer 10 / 10 gamer.tv 5 / 5 game informer 10 / 10 ap magazine 5 / 5 computers & video games 9.5 / 10 gamepro 10 / 10 1up 10 / 10 xbox world 94 / 100 gamespy 5 / 5 console and gameworld 99 / 100

I assume you mean the Air Show practice. Thunderbirds are this year I thought.

NO SERIOUSLY, THIS IS A JOKE THREAD, RIGHT?

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 08:15 PM) I read that he was a 1 star on Scout and 3 on Rivals. As you said, the specific rating doesn't matter much. The important point is that this is a player who had 1 offer (Auburn) from a major and a bunch of mid-major offers. Weber has been forced to go out of state to land even mid-major talent. You don't know that. I guess I'm in the minority on taking a chance on a kid who is 6'8 and can jump 42 inches. I mean, that's insane.

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 05:18 PM) Wow. Weber brings in a 1 star recruit from Virginia and loses Suggs to a team without a scholarship for him. Impressive week's work. He's a three star? Not that the star rating matters much. I'd be willing to take any 6'8 kid with a 42 inch vertical, basketball skills or not.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 07:38 PM) Another Wii related question... I'm eventually going to buy four controllers (I have two right now). Is it crucial to buy the nun-chuck add-on along with all the other controllers? I would say so, yeah. I got 4 controllers, but only 2 nunchucks. It's pointless, because the multiplayer games I have require both. Not sure about multiplayer games like Mario Party or Warioware though. I don't have those. The only multiplayer game I have that is good with 4 Wiimotes is Bomberman '93 from the virtual console.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 05:53 AM) You're the only one who has posted about Super Mario Strikers -- is it worth buying? I generally only want games for the Wii that can be played with more than one person ala Mario Party and Super Smash. Mario Strikers sounds like it can be in that same category. It's one of the best games I've bought over the years, and I have quite the collection. Seriously, it's awesome. I usually don't buy games that are light on content, but I don't care about it with this one. Multiplayer can get insanely intense and the online play is even better.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 15, 2007 -> 05:07 AM) Just got a PS3 with the 80 gig and Motorstorm so I could have Madden on HD. Its hard to judge on the first day because your just nto as used to the game paly so it always seems foreign. The graphics on MOtorstorm are pretty sweet though. Get Resistance. Or did it come with it?

Of Billy Madison fame.

It's fake but it would be frinken awesome.

So out of left field, Illinois picked up a recruit today...for the 07 class. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/recruitingi...s_illinois.html
