This sure is an unusual server error.

What I want for my xbox is more RPGs , the Xbox with games like KOTOR has proven to be capable of having stellar rpgs and too me I feel Microsoft should try to buy a exclusive Final fantasy game like crystal cronicle for the Nintendo gamecube.

The Xbox has a decent amount of sports and racing games , Some good FPS , But it needs RPGs and definently should buy a developer to make some good RPGs and like I said get a exclusive Final fantasy game.

They should also Get Rare to make a new RPG? perhaps also get them to make Starfox and jet force gemini games.

Article last September that attacks Infinium.

http://www.newsforge.com/entertainment/0...=22&tid=83

Infinium's prompt response: A legal letter sent yesterday telling them to take the story down or else.

Both articles are great reads... the first has stuff we knew (their office is a PO box in a strip mall, the CEO has led several failed tech firms in the late '90s, etc), but the second one is about this legal action... hilarious...
Here's a quote.

Quote:Since I certainly wouldn't want to get a letter like that, let's state for the record that I think Infinium Labs is great, and that when its CEO, Tim Roberts, told me in person he had $25 million in venture capital behind him, and it later turned out he didn't, I must have misunderstood him.

I would also like to state for the record that at a later date, when Mr. Roberts and one of his associates told me -- again in person -- that they had signed up 12 game publishers for their Phantom.net service, and gradually backed down under further questioning until they only claimed a deal with one, I must have had wax in my ears or something. Mr. Roberts is a fine gentleman who owns a lovely home in the exclusive community of Longboat Key that is currently valued at $1,250,100 by the Sarasota County Property Appraiser. When a reporter hears a statement from a person of this caliber, and that person later corrects the reporter, it is obvious that the reporter is in error.

...e.g. the 'Post as Many Pics as You Can' thread.

I'll start!


Name-Commonwealth Stadium
Location-Edmonton, Alberta
Rating (/10)-10
Best game you ever saw there-The Heritage Classic, without a shadow of a doubt, has been the best game I have ever seen in ANY stadium. But seeing as how this is a football stadium, the best football game I've ever seen there is Edmonton Eskimos vs. Calgary Stampeders, last year, on Labour Day weekend. Dang, the Eskimos kicked ass, like they always do.

Name-Rexall Place (formerly known as Skyreach Center, formerly known as about 10 other names) [btw I can't find any interior pics...shit]
Location-Edmonton, Alberta
Rating-9
Best game-vs. Colorado last season, where Edmonton positively whupped on 'em.

Name-Pengrowth Saddledome (but does that look like a dome to you?]
Location-Calgary, Alberta
Rating-6
Best game-Um, I've only been to one. About a month and a half ago. But I was luckey enough (along with the rest of my hockey team) to score BOX seats, in the most perfect location to watch the game (PLUS the Flames lost, against the extremely horrible Blackhawks). These boxes cost a couple of hundred thousand dollars a year to own; good thing we've got a rich kid on our team

Name-Kingdome
Location-Seattle, Washington
Rating-7
Best Game-Only been to one, and it was when I was only seven or eight. I don't even know what team the Mariners were playing. But I DO remember the stadium to be farely nice looking.

Name-Coors Field
Location-Denver, Colorado
Rating-8
Best Game-STILL only been to one! But it was an awesome game, great crowd, and it was against the Florida Marlins. I caught a baseball at the game, that was probably my biggest highlight of the night.

And finally...one stadium that I really wanna go and watch a game (Ericsson stadium, in North Carolina) just 'caue it's so beautiful:

It's true! I have proof!

Um... you still interested in lending me music for my game? I haven't been able to contact you since that thread a few weeks ago...

First screens and info! From 1UP.com:

Quote:It's understandable that Sonic Team doesn't want to mess with a proven formula. The two Sonic Advance titles already available -- both done in the tradition of the Genesis games that built Sonic's name in the 90s -- were major hits on the store shelves, sure, but there really wasn't much that changed between the two carts. The blue guy and his friends were a little easier to control, they had an odd new special move or two, but that was about it. Even so, however, you'd be hard-pressed to find many people complaining about this -- the GBA Sonics are already a masterpieces of GBA platforming, after all.
Sonic Advance 3, due out from THQ and Sonic Team sometime later this year, may help shake up the formula a bit. The newest addition to this sequel is a "partner" system, not unlike what console owners saw in Sonic Heroes a month or so back. When you start a stage in SA3, you're asked to choose a player character and a partner character from the standard Sonic stable (no new characters this time around -- or, at least, Sonic Team hasn't revealed any yet). You only control one character in each level (the guy you chose as your "player"), but your choice of partners has tangible effects on your avatar's abilities. Case in point: if you choose Sonic as your player and Tails as your partner, then Sonic will inherit a bit of Tails' high-jumping capabilities. That sort of thing. This system can give you a fair degree of power over what your character can do -- and that, in turn, can open up new routes and access to hidden items in each level.

This partner setup is fully multiplayer-ready, too. Two players with two cartridges and a link cable will be able to play through the entire game in a sort of "co-op" mode, each exploring wholly different parts of each zone at the same time. This mode, of course, is in addition to the usual single- and multi-cartridge subgames that have historically been a staple of the series.

Another new feature (regrettably not shown in this batch of early screenshots) is the Zone Map, a heavily-enhanced version of the 2D maps you selected stages with in the first two Sonic Advances. In SA3, the Zone Map works like an actual, full-sized stage, where you and your partner run around and search for entrances to other stages -- a setup that hasn't been seen in 2D-land for a while. Think of it as a new zone, separate from all the others, and you have the basic idea.

More information on the new portable Sonic will hopefully come shortly, so be patient.

Not new, but it's pretty funny...
