[deejay8595]

post the killzone 2 news please.!

[ivysaur12]

Great scores for MSG4.

And wow at Final Fantasy Fables. I guess I'll be picking that up.

[Wollan]

I would like some KZ2 Faqs please.

[Ninja Kn1ght]

Kratos in SCIV? Well, considering what's already in there, this sounds pretty cool.

[Clinton514]

I would like some KZ2 Faqs please.

I posted a little info in the Killzone thread.

[Vic]

- MS is apparently allowing third-party manufacturers to make 360 compatible hardware.

Were talking about peripherals or consoles?

[jjasper]

good for MGS4 and Civ.

Spectral Force 3(Xbox 360) - B-

wait isn't this an Idea Factory game?

[Dascu]

Next Issue Cover Story: Bayonetta

[Guled]

I guess that SC4 is day-one now. Forget Vader, Kratos FTW

[SantaC]

Final Fantasy IV(DS) - B

what did they say?

[deejay8595]

I posted a little info in the Killzone thread.

We don't want "A LIL"

Kratos to be revealed as next Soulcalibur IV(PS3) character. -GTA DLC(360) will star a biker character. - MS is apparently allowing third-party manufacturers to make 360 compatible hardware. -Q Entertainment seems to be working on a game for the PSN. -New music visualizer to hit the PSN later this year -Hefty price cut coming for both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 this fall.

That is already true (basically) !

I hope everything else there is true also.

[DaFish]

-Q Entertainment seems to be working on a game for the PSN.

Nvm... I got the wrong Dev team in mind :P

[Onix]

- MS is apparently allowing third-party manufacturers to make 360 compatible hardware.

If that isn't an admission of their problems ...






Look like we may actually see a BD version of the 360 :p

[Dax01]

Yay Civilization Revolution!

[Gamer @ Heart]

Bayonetta is the next cover? Thats a suprise.

[Dark FaZe]

:) @ Bayonetta preview next month.

[FFChris]

Sup Com - C

Ouch!

[Evlar]

Nice scores for Civ Revolution.

[MirageDwarf]

Next Issue Cover Story: Bayonetta

So this is the cover James was talking about.



All rumors are meh this time.

[schuelma]

Hope next issue is a blowout of a bunch of Japanese games, not just Bayonetta.

[Tr4nce]

D+ for Haze huh... It's a shame that Haze is apparently not the game everybody was hoping it to be.

[Y2Kev]

FFIV got one review?

[ggnoobIGN]

Why are some only single reviews? Bring back Hsu.

[Vyse The Legend]

FFIV got one review?

EGM hates handheld gaming.

[ToyMachine228]

Bayonetta is the next cover? Thats a suprise.

Looking forward to that issue and seeing what the game has to offer. Kayima cannot fail!

sweet

[fresquito]

I'd like to know if there's anything new about GH:WT.

[Clinton514]

Why are some only single reviews? Bring back Hsu.

It is inconsistent.

[BenjaminBirdie]

A Niko-Less DLC? That's a megaton.

[Pai Pai Master]

That SCIV one better be true. My dream for SCIV has always been Ryu Hayabusa for 360 and Kratos for PS3.

[Elbrain]

Shit I seriously want to see Kratos for SC4! but the thing is they already have a wanabe Kratos as the boss or something.

[Pop On Arrival]

Can't wait to see more of Bayonetta.

[Kintaro]

What was said about Final Fantasy IV DS?

[angelfly]

-God of Soul. Kratos to be revealed as next Soulcalibur IV(PS3) character.

Would be cool if it turned out to be true.

When aren't they doing this?

I'm still waiting on that MMO

[farnham]

That SCIV one better be true. My dream for SCIV has always been Ryu Hayabusa for 360 and Kratos for PS3.

and Link for the Wii

oh man that will never happen again... (the awesomeness that is SC II for GC)

[MoxManiac]

Holy shit, Kratos? Awesome, I can't wait to rip up those fruity anime guest stars with him.

[Skilletor]

If Kratos is in ps3, who would be the 360 character?

[Volcynika]

Was this the issue that mentioned Persona 4 on the cover?

[Agent Icebeezy]

What is wrong with Top Spin 3?

[Clinton514]

Final Fantasy IV(DS) - B what did they say?

I know I should have wrote some of the rest but I got lazy :(

"
The Good: Classic RPG, more polished than the FFIII remake.
The Bad: 3D style feels pokier than the 2D original, ultimately superfluous.
Farewell, My Easytype: Hope you like your RPGs challenging!
"

What is wrong with Top Spin 3?

The bad: Pretty ruthless controls

[Johnas]

I was hoping for some more Nintendo-related rumors with E3 coming up so soon. Oh well, not long now.

Interesting that no one A+'d MGS4. Can't wait to read the text for myself.

[FabCam]

Holy shit, Kratos? Awesome, I can't wait to rip up those fruity anime guest stars with him.

I know! If this shit is true, I'm so buying the game.

[Oni Jazar]

Sept cover will be InFamous right?

[Guy Legend]

-Hefty price cut coming for both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 this fall.

Probably $50 on both systems.

[thebagofsand]

Kratos in SCIV sounds awesome.

[dai]

what's bayonetta?

[GQman2121]

If those GTA and SCIV rumors don't turn out to be true then the Q's street cred is going down the shitter. You can't just print rumors like that and not have some kind of solid proof.

[Kydd BlaZe]

If that Kratos rumor is true, Soul Calibur IV might actually be the first multiplatform game I pick up for the PS3.
