The Wonderswan is history... Bandai's giving up. So... the last "competitor" to teh GB is dead... all that's left are cell phone games and the upcoming Nokia N-Gage...
Its amazing how the GB and its successors have crushed all the opposition... with the exception of the GBA vs the Wonderswan, every single one of the others has had technical advantages of some kind... even the Tiger Game.com, with its internet connection... but GB wins every time.
I wonder when (or if...) a successful competitor in the handheld market will show up... I doubt the N-Gage will be that.
Additionally, the GameCube only had a single title in the top 25, being EA's Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers at number 24. 16 PS2 and 6 Xbox titles made the chart.
These figures are especially cause for concern because no major titles were released for either console this month, making them a more believable barometer for consumer demand for both the Xbox and GameCube. However, these stats are for January, one of the slowest months of the year in the industry, and each console was down about 85% compared to December.
I got the soundtracks, all of them, and they're friggin awesome. So I decided to start getting the episodes as well. I've only seen one so far but I can safely say I'm hooked.
It's the offline-online RPG!! I got it this Saturday, but I haven't had time to play it very much, but it looks like it's going to be pretty good. It does a great job of creating an online gaming experience. Plus it comes with a 45 minute anime movie!! And the battles are non-random though, the creatures are reprented by a shining sphere and when you get close to it the creatures appear and the battles are in real time, so ABF should really enjoy this game.
The story about how I got it is so funny that I just have to tell it. I was at Hastings looking in the used game section and I saw two copies of Universal Studios Themepark for only $1.25 each! So, I immediately bought them and took them to a place the buys used games. I expected to get $10 tops for each game, but they gave me $20 in credit for each game!! So, I decided to get .hack: Infection.
I successfully turned my 128 MB Radeon 9500 non-pro into a Radeon 9700 with a simple software mod and a bit of overclocking. And it was a success! Weeee...
If anybody has questions they would want to ask the developers of Burnout 2 post them here. N-Philes is interviewing them, but we need the questions by tomorrow. I'm asking you guys because I'm sure some of you are fans of the first game and might have some questions you'd like answered.
I just got a copy of the rare Discworld game for Playstation, been years since I got to play that one. I lost an auction on EBay for almost thirty bucks, then I found a copy for sale for $25.
I know what most people are thinking: What is Wonderful Days and why should I be interested in it? Well, first of all Wonderful Days is an as yet unreleased anime. That alone does not make it interesting to most people, but unlike most animes this one is made in Korea. Getting interest yet? Well, another thing about it is that it is one the best looking animes EVER!! No exceptions.
It combines CG backgrounds with 2D characters ala Treasure Planet, but looks many times better. Think Final Fantasy quality CG with some of the best looking 2D animation you've ever seen and you'll be close.
