  1. Not a thing we can do about it anyway. Plus you'd probably get better treatment from Obama by being an enemy instead of an ally. This is not any political debate, this is a criminal law matter involving the murder of 180 Americans that the FBI spent huge amount of resources investigating, and there was an understanding reached with the British/Scots. Besides, I'm sure he got higher level approval before he sent the letter.
  2. Killzone 2 developer is owned by Sony. There's no question 360 is easier to develop for, and with a larger installed base (yes, even in Europe) it's still the lead platform most of the time. It's true that it's easier to port from PS3 to 360, since the PS3 can't handle 360 ports without a lot of optimization for its screwy architecture, but for practical reasons most ports are still from 360 to PS3.
  3. Unless you want PS3 exclusives or Blu-ray or included Wi-Fi, most multiplatform games are currently developed for 360 as the lead platform and thus run better on it. Wii is the spawn of the devil. Edit: You should find out which consoles your son's friends have, kids tend to mostly play on-line with their friends.
  4. Yeah, wrong platform for this kind of game, I predict it'll bomb spectacularly. The game itself coud be cool though.
  5. Without the cleric, you're going to miss out on her ragging on the other party members and her catfights with Rhianna, one of which was hilarious.
  6. It's a little known fact that THEDAS has 1/2 the gravity of earth, thus everything is bigger. Don't really see a problem with the way weapons look, it's a manly game.
  7. Even if the conviction were overturned, that doesn't necessarily follow. I think what's at stake here is proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. After all, Lybia did admit responsibility and paid compensation, and they clearly bought those timers to make bombs, and there's other circumstantial evidence implicating Megrahi, although some of it may not be used in court or not be strong enough to eliminate reasonable doubt.
  8. I would say an action RPG is where combat depends on player reflexes, but others define it differently.
  9. There was indeed a problem with the guy who identified the timer fragment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Thurman so I guess these doubts aren't baseless after all.
  10. The case of the circuit board fragment is certainly complicated, and it's hard to figure out which info can be trusted. Apparently the court didn't consider any of the MEBO employees reliable witnesses. Wikipedia has a good overview of MEBO, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebo with some good links, I especially found this one interesting: http://www.icce.rug.nl/~soundscapes/VOLUME...ald020101.shtml For a write up of the case, see this: http://books.google.com/books?id=BOZszeDjn...;q=&f=false search for all instances of MST-13 to get a brief outline.
  11. A button is used to get in and out of cover: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/mass-effect-2-hands-on
  12. you I think, did not understand the point of this thread. you nominated a game that virtually no has heard of, and never will! then you knocked BG&E saying that because thief 3 is deeper BG&E won't be considered a classic 10 years from now? i'm just being a little jerk though, so pay me no mind if you dont want to Well, yeah, but it's too boring to think about what the unwashed masses will consider to be classics. Clearly far more important is what games I consider classics. Also I don't object to BG&E being a classic, I agree, I just commented that it gets more praise than actually warranted.
  13. The first Halo was definitely a classic, the other games in the series an attempt to cash in by hacks after all the creative people left the developer.
  14. To me the story was a minor bonus (and more interesting if the hidden meanings are explained), the game can be played for the puzzles and artwork alone. Also the paintings you were assembling are kind of interesting, I wish I could figure out how they fit into the story. If we're talking strategy, I nominate Combat Mission : Shock Force, the most realistic tactical wargame available, check it out. BG&E, I agree is a great game, but I feel it gets too much praise. It's like a combination of Thief 3 and Oddworld: Munch's Odyssey, but both of those games are much deeper and more deserving of praise.
  15. I'm almost certain they've made that change. Combat is pretty much the only thing I enjoyed in ME, also I don't have any trouble aiming with the gamepad, and my party members were very useful. ME is just a badly made game though, not something you can draw valid conclusions from about whole genres.
  16. Braid. Never understood the love for MOTB, very conventional and average RPG.
  17. Never used it anyway, supposedly it improved your aim, but meh. If you have third person cover, there's really no point in crouching.
  18. MEBO's connection to Lybian intelligence certainly throws new light on the allegations of its owner and employee.
  19. OK, now I get it, the SMG's are a phallic symbol, and he "dual wields them".
  20. Those articles state that investigations into these allegations had started, but what was the outcome of the investigations?
  21. So Thorton is a mysoginist because he's not gay, did I get that right?
  22. I'd like to avoid all Chinese products, unfortunately I shop at China-mart, er, Wal-mart.
  23. That, a lot of people don't realize that US gave up its right to prosecute Megrahi so that the deal with Lybia to prosecute him could be made and the West's relations with Lybia normalized.
  24. Don't we do that all ready? No, why the hell do we still have all those troops stationed in Europe? Yes, let's show some compassion, like the compassion he showed to the scores of Americans he murdered.
  25. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090830/wl_uk...nuslibyaattacks This should be a wake up call to tell the rest of the world to FO and to start pursuing our own interests in the most efficient way possible.
