It wouldn't be written about so much if the articles about it didn't get more hits. That's where the money comes from. If articles about a certain game are getting more hits, then they're going to put up more of those money making articles. Or if you wanted to take a slightly less cynical stance, if an article about a…

No, not at all, except for the "Tribute" books they do. For those they have a mix of professional artists and stuff they solicit specifically from the fan community. It's always really great stuff though.

Having a monthly subscription fee is KIND of a huge difference here.

So he keeps mentioning that Mercury did not get into the final game. There is one multiplayer map though that is definitely on Mercury. It's not much, but it's in the game, and probably a sign of more to come.

There's already advertising laying out what will be in the first expansion. New story missions are one of a number of things bullet pointed.

Yeah, PSone games I figured would. Sadly most of the PSone games I'd want I have better versions of on Dreamcast. Really that SFAlpha 3 Max is probably the best version of that game aside from it being stuck on a PSP. Ah well. Someday Capcom will maybe get that game with it's extra characters to consoles.

This is probably a completely dumb question as what I'm hoping for seems pretty impossible without patching each individual game to do so, but I'm going to ask anyway as I really want it to be possible and maybe somebody's done some incredible feet of engineering for this thing... so, if I'm playing a game like Street…

I'd say not any sillier than 'Space Oddity', or 'Rocket Man'. Kinda similar in a lot of ways actually. It sounds like it wouldn't be too out of place on a Beatles album from the era where they just started getting less poppy and somewhat more psychedelic. Lyrically it could fit and also just in as much as that stuff…

I think the theme song was just something he did to contribute something that was more recognizably "Paul McCartney" to the project as the score obviously wouldn't do that. If I was understanding it correctly when it first came up that he was involved it was actually something that McCartney sought out himself because…

Honestly, yeah, I think there's a strong likelihood he would at least try it in some way like this. Despite his image Lennon could be pretty damn commercial at times(you obviously have to be to be in the mainstream music industry no matter how much you don't want to be), and people sometimes change their attitudes…

"Wolverine in a 60's X-men comic..."!?! Damn right he'd look different, almost invisible one might say. Fake geek guy is clearly going to ruin the lore for this game. :)

It's more a show of the fact that MS gave Bungie a fair amount of autonomy. They didn't force them to make ports of their games and let them work on the next new game in the series.

Before being purchased by Microsoft they ported Marathon 2 Durandal, Myth, Myth II, and Oni to PC themselves and once Gearbox completed the port of the original Halo they handled all the support for the game (basically one guy at Bungie (Achronos)to be fair). Taking that and considering the architecture of all the…

Gamestop will still find a way to jack up the price. When Nintendo dropped the MSRP to $29.99 on a bunch of it's 3DS games Gamstop dropped their price to $31.99 and put the used price at $29.99. Was really annoyed by that one. Who in their right mind is going to buy a game used for the same price they can go next door…

Is that last one on the Nintendo site a Monster Hunter pig thing or am I just imagining that?

It's to attract male Queen of Blades's obviously.

If he's going back to stuff beyond the games (assuming he's hasn't been exposed to any of that for some reason) he really really NEEDS to start with the Batman: Year One, and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns comic series. This is really the starting point of a large portion of what makes the modern Batman who he is and…

But someone DID do a continuation of Batman Year One, and it ACTUALLY IS Batman: The Long Halloween, and it was done by someone COMPLETELY new... and unfortunately less talented than Miller/Mazuchelli. Not that Long Halloween wasn't great at the time, but it was quite a bit different in tone, and sadly maybe a little…

To be fair, one of the things that this article at least briefly is trying to let people know, that a surprising number of people really don't know, is not just worrying about the underside, but really, the part you should be MOST concerned about is the topside. Scratches on the bottom side will often still allow the…

Only what's there. Basic facts. Bungie is an LLC, self owned company. Infinity Ward is a studio completely owned by Activision.
