    Xbox One on the way. DRM removed, more details to come.

    I had heard there was a patent for the TV watching, but I wasn't aware it had been implemented. This is also the first I've heard of achievements for making purchases (though I knew about the bonus "pre-order" achievement). If this is all true, it really does kill the nice metagame they had...

    Xbox One on the way. DRM removed, more details to come.

    The online DRM absolutely kills it for me--and it really bums me out, having been a huge MS supporter over the past two generations. If MS allows bypassing the 24-hour check-in by having physical media in the drive (or simply does away with online checks entirely) I'd be on board again, even at...

    Select Game Crazy stores are closing - 20% or 50% off everything!

    Just now saw this thread. Well, virtually every GC store I've ever been to is being closed. The four Colorado stores are all in the Springs. I'll have to hit them up while I still can to see if there's anything I want, but I am extremely disappointed in this news in general.

    Video of ads on the dashboard. They move and make noise.

    This is being blown out of proportion. On occassion, there's a single, unobtrusive ad that moves and makes noise only when highlighted/selected on the Xbox Dashboard? Well, fuck that, M$ will never see a dime of mine again.

    XBLA - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time - Now 800pts :whee: - 8/5

    Man, I'd be bummed if the technodrome level doesn't make it into this. And as much as I'd love to see the original sprites, the video makes it look like the gameplay has changed enough that it probably wouldn't work unless they included the arcade original along with the updated version.

    XBLA - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time - Now 800pts :whee: - 8/5

    I still pop in TMNT 4 from time to time. I'll be buying this day one. Is there any word on if this is an update to the SNES or arcade version?

    Street Fighter IV - Gen Discussion & Info

    Psh, that'd be hard kicks for me, bub (Cammy main). I'm getting better with the stick fairly rapidly, but I'm still not controlling the game the way I'd like. Thanks for the support--glad to hear I'm not the only one going through this learning curve. We should definitely play; it'll be less...

    Street Fighter IV - Gen Discussion & Info

    Just got my Real Arcade Pro EX. stick today. My first stick, though, so I'm fucking horrible with it. I've got a learning curve ahead of me before I'm able to play effectively with it.

    Street Fighter IV - Gen Discussion & Info

    Haha, that just happened to me in a ranked match as Cammy. Reversal Cannon Spike, and Gief hit me with a pileddriver. It was nuts. So far, Zangief is the character giving me the most trouble as Cammy, with Sagat and Akuma tied for second (though I seem to usually beat Akuma--it just always...

    Street Fighter IV - Gen Discussion & Info

    Yes, and since it's a special move, you can't counter the grab (I don't think). I had a shit ton of trouble when I first started playing because I was using C. Viper to unlock Cammy, and I fucking suck with C. Viper. You'll get used to playing against Abel, but the first couple times you see him...

    Well... you improve as a player, too, right? Oh, oh, and achievements!

    Street Fighter IV - Gen Discussion & Info

    I ran into this too, and I initially had trouble because I was used to playing so aggressively against all of the ultra scrubby Ryu and Ken players. Try to combo your attacks into a move that will knock your opponent to the ground. With Cammy as my main, I attempt to combo most of my moves into...

    Street Fighter IV - Gen Discussion & Info

    Can't wait for my stick to show up--it's my first one. I'm maining Cammy, like I did for SSF2THDR, and I'm really enjoying it. I expected to hate the hooligan input, but on the 360 controller I'm never missing it. Chalk it up to a couple of extra jump frames, I guess. It's a shame the move...

    XBLA - Mega Man 9 - 800pts

    30 minutes is excessive for one boss... it was my understanding that any time spent on the pause (menu) screen or on the status screen changing weapons doesn't count towards your total game time, but I guess I'm wrong.

    XBLA - Mega Man 9 - 800pts

    Magma Man's weapon works well. Your best bet is to pay more attention to dodging the ball than simply killing the elephants as fast as possible. The patterns are easy once you learn them.

    XBLA - Mega Man 9 - 800pts

    Well, I finally cleared all the robot master levels without taking damage. I don't know if I'll ever be able to get through the Wily stages for the "Mr. Perfect" challenge, though (but it's not gonna keep me from trying). I love the music in this game. Capcom nailed it--from the four channel...

    XBLA - Mega Man 9 - 800pts

    The thing that has me most excited is the NES chiptune music. Man, what a throwback.

    Chrono Trigger DS Thread - E3 Impressions Post #272

    Awesome, awesome, AWESOME news. I really do NOT want to see this go to 3D, though--I'll be buying this day one if they use the original sprites or create higher resolution versions.

    SoulCalibur IV - (10.17.08) - Vader/Yoda DLC set to release on 10/23 [400 points]

    Definitely possible. I don't buy that they'll be identical performance-wise, but the notion that the game will feature different game play properties across the consoles surprises me. Then again, MarkMan's comment about game play differences between the XBox and PS2 versions wasn't something I...
