true, but it still does have some interesting articles with staff opinions and such.

Everything will probably only accessible online at some point or another, but it's still the nostalgia of it that I enjoy, ya know. lol =P

[Penshiru]

Oh I know
cause of that question you put up I found some of my old articles
its really funny reading old previews about halo 2 cause looking back how much time I spent on that game

[Skylar1]

not to mention the differences in graphics when you play old games.

What you used to think was "top of the line graphics", you look again and go, "whoa", big change. @__@

[Penshiru]

lol I go from playing Persona 4 on the ps2 because I'm bored and got my homework done
to playing Halo Reach on the 360 because my friends wanna play
everytime I do that I go woah
but even playing 8-bit classics like Mario and Sonic you have to just marvel at what we've done
though sometimes I think we think more about Grapics then we do gameplay <.<

[Skylar1]

eh, it depends really. If I go straight from current gen to retro, the graphic difference is really noticeable, but after a while, you don't even notice anymore

it's like your brain auto-adjusts to the lesser quality graphics. Which is pretty cool

[Sr Machinehead]

I get game informer sine i'm signed up with gamestop but i don't really enjoy it too much, i usually only read it when i first get it and then put it in the stack with all my other magazines.

[Meteorkeeper]

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

I had been reading GameInformer since the beginning of 2008, but that was cause I kept renewing my Edge card.

You can always find a lot of good stuff in it though.

[Skylar1]

What are you guys thinking of for E3 this year?

have high expectations?

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit...just...got...even...better...http://hotpursuit.needforspeed.com/p...ks-hot-pursuit

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

The guys over at PS3Crunch (Dukio) recently posted an IRC chat log by a "well known hacker" and apparently they have fully hacked PSN. So good news and bad news (we don't condone theft here).

Good
*cough* *cough*

Bad

Sony are tracking everything you do. Even worst than that your credit card details are NOT secure at all. A list of things the hacker found out are below.
They leech all the info they can get from your console, even what devices that are connected to your PS3, the information in your USB drives, TV, just about anything you can imagine!
So, you thought all this time the highly security information like credit card is sent encrypted? No. It is in a ****ing plain text. Yes, in a plain text where people can spoof the network and steal it. Just like that.
Example for a credit card in a plain text, creditCard.paymentMethodId=VISA&creditCard.holderN ame=Max&creditCard.cardNumber=4558254723658741&cre ditCard.expireYear=2012&creditCard.expireMonth=2&c reditCard.securityCode=214&creditCard.address.addr ess1=example street%2024%20&creditCard.address.city=city1%20&cr editCard.address.province=abc%20&creditCard.addres s.postalCode=12345%20, cool huh?
If you are still are not convinced, they are being stored online and updated each time you hit the login button.

So you better remove your billing information...

have high expectations?

Eh, medium-ish expectations.

Couple of games I hope I will be seeing some insight into:

- The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Been on 'frickin Amazon for months without so much as a release date. Give it to me already! ><)
- Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 2 (Time to kick some Metal Sonic butt!)
- Shadow Complex 2

Would be interested to hear some news 'bout the so-called Wii 2. For a 1st Generation console, the Wii was made of awesome; but have heard little more than rumors surrounding the 2nd Generation.

[Skylar1]

Hopefully the next console Nintendo does make will be HD compatible.. >.>

[Shinn Kamiyra]

Hopefully the next console Nintendo does make will be HD compatible.. >.>

Yeah, that would certainly be nice. Although in all fairness, the Wii does have its own HD Component Cable. I've never tried it out myself, though it seems to have at least a majority of positive reviews. Have you ever seen it in action?

I've also heard that the Wii 2 might have a Blu-Ray player to go with it. I'm a little iffy on the idea. I'd be more excited about it if it were leaning more towards downloadable videos, movies, etc.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

Eh, no. The Wii can only support up to 480p no matter what.

Those are Super Video ports.

Also, I wanna hear more about the PSP2 in E3...I think I might actually GO.

Well, one certainly can't surpass the specs of the system itself no matter what you do; that's certainly true. However, perhaps something like is enough to give people, ones without a HD TV, a fragment of hope until the Wii 2 comes out, hopefully with HD. -Shrugs-

[Skylar1]

well, maybe those people should get an HD.

I mean, the lowest ones go nowadays at ~300. Is that really too much? .-. I don't really see how it could be if you have a console that's about the same price anyways.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

Yeah, and with consoles nowdays with a regular SDTV, it looks crappy. I tried playing Tekken 6 on my cousin-in-law's PS3/TV and what the hell. v_v I couldn't read a thing.

[Derrick Remon]

I've been playing non-stop and it's amazing.
: D

[Skylar1]

ah, the old red v blue vids.

oh, now I feel old. @__@ lol

[Derrick Remon]

With the Halo Reach console, new tv, and plenty of friends Grifball is easily one of the better game modes. I even like it over Search & Destroy or Wager Matches.

[Skylar1]

It's been a few years since I've played halo, but yeah. Good to hear that people are still expanding on the idea.

[Derrick Remon]

This is what it's become, lol.

[Skylar1]

Lol! I doubt the legitimacy of Obama playing.. grifball. =p
