Maybe I should have reserved a copy at a local game store.
If it’s scarce, it’ll cost $100 on Ebay.
I should maybe buy it and play it, it looks fun.
IGN, I guess, rarely gives perfect 10 ratings. This must be a pretty good game. At least, GTA IV must be great enough to generate the most excitement of any recent game for the people over at IGN.
Even after all this, I really am not that surprised at the fact that IGN just gave GTA IV a perfect ten rating. I don’t expect any less from Rockstar.
Sounds like it’s gonna happen. I guess there is a new Mad Max movie coming out as well that will probably coincide with the release of the game.
My first thoughts regarding a Mad Max video game are that this is great subject material for an open world type of game. Even if it’s not the open world type of game, there’s a lot that could be done with the atmosphere that the movies present.
Here’s a quick clip from an article on Gamespot about the new Max Max game:
The game will be based on Mad Max: Fury Road, which Miller had been working on in 2003 before the war in Iraq meant the project was put on hold–due to a variety of reasons, including the American dollar “crashing” against the Aussie dollar. Now, the plan is to release the movie alongside the game–which will not star the original Mad Max, Mel Gibson. There aren’t many details of the game as yet, except that it will feature vehicles, melee weapons, and projectile weapons.
I had to laugh at the note about the known details: “It will feature vehicles, melee weapons, and projectile weapons”. Haha. This describes every next generation game that isn’t a sports or driving game. Good stuff.
Remember the classic game of Doom? That classic battle with the forces of hell on Mars? I do, kinda. It was pretty fun. I wish I had this weapon back in the day.
Check it out, concerning price cuts for Xbox 360′s:
Beginning on November 1st, Microsoft will be cutting the price of its Xbox 360 Premium consoles in Japan from 39,795 yen ($348 USD) to 34,800 yen ($304 USD).
I hope that a price cut for the rest of the world follows.
BioShock is currently undergoing some pretty big controversy regarding their digital rights management. From twitch.com, written by Rob Wright:
The trouble started almost immediately after BioShock release on Aug. 21. Word began circulating through various forums about technical issues with the game’s installation; specifically, many users who had run into issues with playing the game, whether it was Window Vista related issues or graphics drivers, un-installed BioShock and then re-installed it on other machines. They were then greeted with an unfortunate message that read: “Too many activations on different PCs have been performed with the entered SERIAL NUMBER. No further activations are allowed.” The message also included an e-mail address for SecuROM support (support@securom.com).
I’ll admit that I haven’t played many PC games recently. I kinda stopped when PC wasn’t powerful enough to run Unreal 2003. When I left PC gaming behind, for the most part, and started to play consoles (PS2, Xbox, and soon hopefully the 360), I just played games, and spent less time dinking around with making my system run the games.
I have nothing against PC gaming. I just prefer console gaming at this point in my life. I have to deal with computer issues all day trying to get work done, and I don’t feel like dealing with those same issues at night when I’m trying to relax.
Reading this article about BioShock and their DRM fiasco made me realize how much I don’t miss PC gaming.
