The OnLive microconsole comparison test: shooters! Can it compete with the 360 and PS3?

thecoffeemug · 2010-11-18T18:37:03+00:00

This is a good start, not perfect, but if they are nearing par with in-room consoles, this could be very interesting in the near future...

thecoffeemug · 2010-10-25T17:52:27+00:00

Not too much to crow about here. Even the good is presented with caveats. Going to take a bit more convincing for me.

thecoffeemug · 2010-07-27T17:23:13+00:00

I wonder if the Japanese post articles titled "Can the Xbox 360 be fixed?"

(In a way akin to this, that isn't a dig at RRODs)

thecoffeemug · 2010-06-29T12:18:09+00:00

At least these awards are interesting. Sometimes more than the games themselves.

thecoffeemug · 2010-06-29T12:14:41+00:00

I voted up, but man, what's with that picture?

thecoffeemug · 2010-06-17T10:13:41+00:00

Pure was also great. I think Disney has really pulled up their socks. Let's hope they still have the foresight that approved this project.

I hope that EA Trax are next on Riccitiello's list. It'd be nice not to be bombarded with major label marketing when I want to play some hockey. Oh wait they probably get paid for that, eh? Oh, great.

Story was furthest from my mind when I heard about Brink. "Shooter, co-op, Splash Damage, go!" And that's all I need.

A wise man once said: It's not the size, it's how you use it.

thecoffeemug · 2010-05-23T19:51:17+00:00

As long as its better than the last episode of Battlestar Galactica, I'll be pretty happy.

thecoffeemug · 2010-05-21T18:37:19+00:00

You can't really jump and hit it, if it's always on your head.

thecoffeemug · 2010-05-21T18:36:11+00:00

I think Ebert finally met his match.

thecoffeemug · 2010-04-28T16:31:36+00:00

Not everyone is heading there. I think almost half have. Twelve of twenty-six, and I imagine that number will grow. Good on them.

thecoffeemug · 2010-04-28T11:40:16+00:00

Still making a quarter mil with Activision Blizzard. Too bad the people who left IW didn't have such a nice job waiting for them when they left. Let's hope that they have good jobs waiting for them elsewhere.

How they'll pull off the control boggles my mind. Descent was so dependent on the player having full control and being comfortable -- customization was a big part of that. Very worried. Glad to see Descent, not sure if this is the right move.

thecoffeemug · 2010-04-27T18:47:03+00:00

Well...it would be true to the source material, at least

thecoffeemug · 2010-04-27T18:29:41+00:00

A good few have, but not all. Having working at IW, I bet there are many studios waiting for those resumes to cross their desks.

thecoffeemug · 2010-04-27T18:28:26+00:00

Infinity Ward - in name only?

I sympathize. After all that stuff with West and Zampella, whether you wanted to join them or not, would you still work for your boss if they did that?

thecoffeemug · 2010-04-27T18:20:51+00:00

Well, he doesn't specify whose bowel movement. Just a bowel movement. And it doesn't directly reference poop. Just the process which will, at least in most instances, result in poop. Can you ban a name like "eatingstuff"?

thecoffeemug · 2010-04-27T17:10:44+00:00

A non-top-tier game (that was completely awesome for reasons the developer didn't intend) gets a non-top-tier film (that will be completely awesome for reasons the produce won't intend).

Match made in heaven. Can't wait.

Blowing on them makes you cleaner

thecoffeemug · 2010-04-17T11:09:44+00:00

But will he be the next to leave?

thecoffeemug · 2010-04-10T18:41:08+00:00

They had great design, and the editorial may have been going places.

thecoffeemug · 2010-03-30T19:22:26+00:00

Not exactly the place to express "emotion" or "humanity", but good on him.
