[GotchaForce]

VP2 review? Isn't that like a few months early?

 

[Oblivion]

What score did Okami get? Tell me!!

 

[Mrbob]

Does anyone really even care about a Dirty Harry game anymore?

 

[Kleegamefan]

What score did Okami get? Tell me!!

I dont have the issue yet...

 

[Y2Kev]

VP2 review? Isn't that like a few months early?

It's a month early. I'm surprised it's been done for so long. S-E shoulda put it out in August.

 

[Akia]

What score did Okami get? Tell me!!

The issue isn't out yet.

Edit: Beaten. But hopefully Okami gets 10s all around.

 

[Oblivion]

I dont have the issue yet...

 

[Akia]

Why are you so sad?

Spoiler

Afraid Okami will out score Zelda?

 

[temp]

I just realized how bad of a name "Dirty Harry" is.

 

[Oblivion]

Okami is a game that I've been interested in for over a year, and I hope it gets good scores all around, and sells well so that more games of the like can be made. Making the world a better place for gamers.

Spoiler

But yes, the Zelda thing is mainly it.

 

[Amir0x]

Okami got a 9.0, 9.5 and 9.5

 

[Y2Kev]

Okami got a 9.0, 9.5 and 9.5

Do you get the issues early?

Those are awesome, awesome scores. What did VP get?

 

[Amir0x]

VP got 8.5, 8.0, 7.5

Spoiler

Oh, so you are kidding?

7.5 seems a bit low for VP, if you aren't.

 

[Speevy]

Gears of War got 10, 8.5, 4 (GOTM)

 

[Gigglepoo]

Whoa! Gears of War sounds awesome!

By the way - does it sadden anyway else that knowledge of sarcasm and reading comprehension are disappearing at a rapid rate?

BTW - Forza 2 media? Um... I can take a guess at what it will look like... cars. On a road.

 

[op_ivy]

as great as it will be to see forza 2 media, i'm dying to see nba street next-gen. this series has alwaysbeen a blast and looked quite good to boot. dont let me down EA

 

[Akia]

Gears of War got 10, 8.5, 4 (GOTM)

10 (LUKE)
8.5 (SHOE)
4 (SHANE)

 

[Y2Kev]

10 (LUKE)
8.5 (SHOE)
4 (SHANE)

I don't think they put shane on 360 games anymore :lol

 

[citrus lump]

EGM has a bad habit of sticking stuff in the review/preview catagories, and then not actually having them in the next issue.

Cause,you know, "all editorial content is subject to change" - which means they'll do whatever they want.

 

[Kleegamefan]

Yeah....I too am really looking forward to NBA Street 4 on X360/PS3.....with only 6 players on screen at once, the player models should be really detailed

 

[Amir0x]

also i just wanted to say that Dirty Harry looked like the worst thing ever created with the video they showed

 

[op_ivy]

Yeah....I too am really looking forward to NBA Street 4 on X360/PS3.....with only 6 players on screen at once, the player models should be really detailed

i really hope they keep the artstyle of the others... i imagine next gen could do some really fancy graphical effects to pull off the old box art in 3d.

 

[mrklaw]

Its the first proper next gen racing game. For fans of racing games, we get a glimpse of what next-gen might really offer, and set the bar for Gran Turismo to aim at. Its an important release for both MS and Sony.


I'm actually really surprised that - considering how many racing games there are on PS2 compared to Xbox - that Xbox has my pick (rallisport 1, PGR2, Rallisport 2, forza shows promise)

I'm not discounting the actual game, just screenshots. I'm sure they will look exactly how people imagine they will look. Racing games rarely surprise.

 

[gtmax]

Forza 2 will determine if i get a 360 or not.

 

[IJoel]

Finally, some Forza media! I really hope they are able to release the title this year.

 

[LukeSmith]

Gears of War got 10, 8.5, 4 (GOTM)

False!

10 (LUKE)
8.5 (SHOE)
4 (SHANE)

Double false!

 

[Amir0x]

if you think you had to tell people that was false

 

[Barnolde]

if you think you had to tell people that was false

Then you might be a redneck?

 

[Amir0x]

i was thinking 'EGM staff writer'

Dead Rising (XB360)

Why is everyone so excited about Dead Rising? I just don't get the appeal, I guess.

you get a mall full of shit to kill zombies with

what's not to love?

People were excited about State of Emergency and we all know how good that game is...

 

[Amir0x]

did State of Emergency have an excavator?

It's a good thing that Dead Rising is almost nothing like SOE then, isn't it?

 

[Speevy]

I'm excited about Dead Rising because it looks awesome. It reminds me of one of those games you'd play when you were 11 or 12, and invite your friends over to see it.

 

[chinmonster]

what's not to love?

An overall lack of substance, maybe?

 

[Amir0x]

An overall lack of substance, maybe?

since when does killing zombies need substance?

besides you can find books around to improve your skills and also take erotic photos

:lol It just... sounds like such an XLA game to me. I'll reserve most of my judgements until I actually play it, though...

 

[jordan0386]

anybody know what studio does NBA Street?

This should be dropping about March 2007, eh...so they are probably in the thick of things right now...i hope its really good

Full NBA Rosters please

NuFX/EA Chicago made NBA Street 1 and 2

EA Canada made NBA Street 3, and I think they are making NBA Street 4.

 

[jordan0386]

hmm...i saw the shift from 2 to 3...3 seemed kinda dark...dribbling system is hot...but they need more getting crossed animations...and more player chatter would be neat

Crazy how EA Canada fudges up Live 05 and 06, but does a good job with Streets 3...ah well...imo

 

[FightyF]

Because it's freaking awesome? What? You don't like awesome?

Seriously though, it's not gonna be for everyone. It's like Crazy Taxi. I'm one of those who spent over $100 in the arcade playing that game, played the heck out of the console version, etc. It's the same with games like Pac-Man. It's a simple game, easy to pick up and play, it's somewhat repetitive but the reason why we still play it is because it gets more challenging.
