I'm not much of a PC gamer, but this is one PC game I definately plan on picking up sometime in the near future... That is, once I finish building my speedy new computer. So far I hear it's a hell of a lot of fun despite massive slowdown when rendering big cities. I usually pass up sim games but this one really intrigues me.
I'd like to know what everyone else thinks about SC4 before I buy it. btw, I'll probably wait until the price drops and patches are released before I purchase Sim City 4, so there's no rush. :D
This is terrible news. :( My condolences to all 7 crew members. One of them was the first Israeli astronaut who I am sure was a hero for many people of Israel. Terrible, terrible news. :(
Remember that great console, the TurboGrafx 16 (or whatever it was called in Europe and Asia)? Well, NEC's back... as a publisher. For the first time in 8 years. Yay.
Oh... their first game is a new Gamecube racing game by the developers of F-Zero Maximum Velocity.
Quote:This morning it was announced that Sega's Xbox version of Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II will be distributed by Microsoft Games Studios. PSO Xbox will launch in March, and will be the first online RPG to feature voice chat with the Xbox Communicator headset
Users will unfortunately also have to pay an additional fee of $8.95 per month (first 2 months are free) on top of the Xbox Live fee to purchase a "hunter's license", to play the game online. It will provides access to a plethora of online exclusive content such as seasonal quests, downloads and rare in-game items.
Both episodes can be played online or offline with up to four gamers. Additional game modes include Challenge and Battle. Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound is also supported in Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II. Oddly enough though, an Xbox Live account is required to play Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II both offline and online.

Who in their right mind would pay an extra $9 a month for PSO on top of the X-Box Live fee? Is it really worth more than Mech Assault or Ghost Recon? I don't think so!
Well, AOL-TimeWarner lost 99 Billion dollars. Discuss how on Earth a company that has a horrible service like AOL and also gives out free months JUST for calling them and saying "I might stop getting this service now" could possibly fail, even with the silver tongue of Ted Turner himself!
"The white people live in the north and the black people live in the south. That's the way bears are, ya know the white bears live in the north, and the black bears live, in the south. That doesn't *heh* mean they aren't both bears right? Heh, yeah that's right." ~ a Ted quote I saw on the Daily Show. I too challenge you to put that IN context!
