Silent Hill 5 coming to Revolution! (Not true, false rumor!)

[A Black Falcon]

To be fair, you're right. I should take time to reserve judgement on the Revolution. Which means in turn, I'm going to wait and see if it's more successful than the gamecube was.

More accurately would have been "causal gamer and nongamer", but close enough. As for what the Revolution's standard for success should be, Nintendo's stated goal is to surpass the GC, which would be a good thing... despite its solid lineup no one could say that the GC did as well in the market as the N64 did, and Nintendo has sold fewer consoles with each generation... SNES less than NES, N64 less than SNES, GC less than N64... they need to turn that around, and they know it. We'll see if this is the right strategy to do it... though yes, the biggest question for the hardcore gamer should definitely be "Will there be enough games that I will be interested in?" And it's a good question, and we don't know the answer yet. Well, the download-service provides part of an answer for sure, as does GC disc compatibility, but I (and you I'm sure) mean new, Revolution-exclusive titles, not that stuff, as nice as it is...

Oh, they definatly are. They're fun, too, for sure- I just wish they'd make more.

At least you recognize this...

Don't remember him.

Kind of like OB1, but even more juvenile... :) He doesn't come here anymore, but likes to spend a lot of time on MSN bashing Nintendo and its current policies/games...

I wish they never moved this series to the consoles, since they ended up making a completely different game than its predecessors. Oh well.

Yeah, calling it "Baldur's Gate" was a clear marketing ploy, because it's not BG. Baldur's Gate is a great PC strategic RPG series. Dark Alliance is a hack-and-slash Diablo/Gauntlet style series. Nothing in common, and DA is clearly worse than the PC series... I don't regret buying BGDA, as it was fun, but it certainly isn't a genre-defining epic like Baldur's Gate. It's not even in the same league. It's just a fun little action game. Kind of like Gauntlet: Legends or Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, but not as good... oh well, it was decent. Solid work in its simple way... but it definitely was somewhat deceptive to put the "Baldur's Gate" name on it. Makes you think it might be a lot more than it is.
