bought halo 3
finished it 7 hours later
i want my money back, such a shit game
 
i thought it was shit when I played it the first time last night but I"m starting to warm to it. The campaign mode isn't appreciably better than 1 or 2. And the graphics are a bit dodge in some areas.

by the time you start to warm to it, the game is over
and the final stage is a ripoff/'homage' of the first halo's final stage
 
Anyone got a Nintendo DS??

I got one for Xmas a year ago but since I got a tad bored of all my games, I haven't played it in months. And so with that guilt I bought Zelda - Phantom Hourglass on preorder from www.dvdboxoffice.com
YAY I LOVE Zelda games. And DVD Box Office is officially the cheapest place to buy DS games off the net. It should arrive in the next two weeks as its released on the 1st of Oct.

Right now, I'm playing some street racer game on PS2. Fun. Called Midnight Run Dub Version or something. Pretty cool. My hopeless "boy" gamer skills can even get away with a win or two. Awesome soundtrack too.
 
The Pure Pwnage boys are coming to Melbourne soon apparently. My boyfriend is dragging me along. Any other n00bs going? :)

Electronic Arts Acquires BioWare, Pandemic

Electronic Arts has announced an agreement with Elevation Partners to acquire BioWare and Pandemic parent company VG Holding Corp for $620 million plus an additional $190 million in other charges, bringing the 800 employees of the companies under the EA Games wing.

Pandemic Studios and BioWare Corp. employ roughly 800 people across four studios located in Edmonton, Canada; Los Angeles; Austin; and Brisbane, Australia. The companies have ten franchises under development, including six wholly owned games.

BioWare Corp. is currently developing the highly anticipated Mass Effect, which will be published by Microsoft in November, and is in the early development stages of a massively multiplayer online game. Pandemic Studios is currently working on the upcoming Mercenaries 2: World in Flames and Saboteur, in addition to several unannounced projects.

2 of my favorite game developers (who became partners 2yrs ago) have been swallowed :(
 
I just can't wait to play Team Fortress 2.

I know you can download it... but I can't be bothered with the huge download... I just want some discs and a box full of misc games that I can hold and pay twice the RRP for at EB Games.

Is that too much to ask?

Scout is going to rule.

I am almost 25.

i read that, depressing news
must hit closer to home for you though dude
 
^ Yeah, EA have a bad rep for aquiring great studios then killing them in under 2 years

EA acquisition casulties:
Westwood - Creators of Command and Conquer
Origin - Creators of Ultima, System shock, Wing Commander, Ultima Online
Bullfrog - Creators of Populus, Magic Carpet, Dungeon Keeper
Maxis - Creators of Sim City, The Sims

There are a couple of EA acquired studios that havnt been squished yet:
Criterion - Creators of Black, Burnout series
Digital Illusions (DICE) - Creators of Battlefield1942
(although they did shutdown the DICE Canada studio hours after the purchase)


The slow death of acquired companies is a side effect of the cultural rot in large bureaucratic corporations. Its human nature to exercise power so management ends up making decisions that the underlings have to own. Nobody wants to look after someone elses mutant child
 
Microprose really killed the Mechwarrior series. Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries was amazing. I loved how they took it back to the original game, with running and owning your own squadron of Mechs and pilots.

It really bugs me that Lucasarts and Sierra moved away from making Adventure games. They were the best!

While im glad it finished the story, i do agree the campaign was a bit lackluster.

anyway, i bought halo 3 (and a 360 as i dont plan on getting any other games) purely for xbox live and multiplayer... and it is going just fine in that department :)
