Warcraft II should have made the list, It was the second best balanced RTS blizzard has released and Warcraft II was the first game that got people into the hole RTS thing.

Starcraft was the game that pushed the RTS thing further. Yes I know that Dune II was the game were all todays RTS decended from.

Warcraft III was great for extra content and a decent story but it just lacked the polish.

Total Aniliation never played it and only glimpsed at it ocasionally in the store back in 1997 ,but Starcraft was the one that caught my eye to actually buy it. I think Starcraft has had a bigger impact on the genre then TA look at Korea and what it did and it is also the best known RTS in the world.

How awesome is that?

Quote:Japan Xbox comes with extra cheese

Microsoft spices up marketing of Xbox in Japan in new pizza-themed promotion.

TOKYO--In Japan, pizzas packaged in boxes that resemble Xbox consoles will be delivered to the doorsteps of customers, courtesy of a new joint marketing campaign from Microsoft and Aoki's Pizza.


For a limited time, Aoki's will offer a menu called the 'Xbox campaign set' which comes with a special pizza and assortment of beverages. The pizza will be split into four parts from the middle to mark an “X” on the pie. Customers can chose different preset topping combinations on each of the four separated pieces (including the interesting-sounding but very common egg and tuna or chicken teriyaki and mayonnaise combos; relatively normal toppings on pizzas in Japan).

In addition to having four different toppings, what differentiates the pizza from others in the company's normal menu is its packaging. Instead of the usual cardboard, the pizza will be delivered in a box that is colored and shaped like an Xbox.

In addition to the cardboard box, each purchase of the 'Xbox campaign set' comes with a sweepstakes card which can be mailed in for a chance to win a free Xbox console and a copy of Amped 2. The campaign is only available in areas where Aoki's is present, primarily the eastern coast of Japan. The campaign has already begun and will run until February 27.

Two weeks to pitchers and catchers reporting... I can hardly wait... :)

Oh, predictions. :)

AL
East -- Boston... I have to believe...
Central -- Minnesota. I think they're still good enough...
West -- Oakland. Though my favorite team in the West is Seattle... Oakland just always seems to get it done...
Wild Card - New York. Very close behind the Sox.

NL
East -- Atlanta. I know the Phillies are a popular choice, and I'd rather they win than Atlanta, but the Braves have to be proven to be beatable and they've had a hold on this division for so long...
Central -- I don't know... Cubs? Or Astros. I'd rather the Cubs, but it could be either one.
West -- Giants. My favorite NL team, too...
Wild Card -- no idea. Phillidelphia? Los Angeles? Houston? Arizona?

Oh, and the Mets will be in last place again. :) And I hope the Expos do well... I like them...

Funny... :)

Is anybody watching this pathetic excuse for a Super Bowl? There is no score and it's almost friggen halftime! New England missed a 31 yard field goal! Carolina just got sacked and lost the ball!

If the commercials this year weren't so good, I'd be playing Soul Calibur II.

Maybe I still will unless something happens soon. This is awful.

Discuss.

Quote:The much-lauded and critically acclaimed Namco RPG “Baten Kaitos” looks likely to be released in the United States before the end of this year.

This is excellent news for those non-Japanese speakers out there, as this title is well worth importing. No news of a European release to tag alongside with the English-translated version of the game, but now we all have another reason to dust off our freeloaders and get involved in some solid gaming!

For those of you who do speak Japanese, this is no great news, but could you answer one question for me: Honto no kohi desu?

More news as we have it.
