Yeah. Just like the PSP could do what the DS could. Play games.

We all know how that battle ended.

This generation has a clear hardware winner: the Wii. The best Sony's fighting for is 2nd place.

the 3DV tech has been significantly updated since the microsoft acquisition. So Sony never passed on Natal as we know it.

Boka Haram and Jos Mayhem can only be compared with what is happening in war fronts like Iraq, afghanistan, Sudan, Tamil Tigers etc.  but you cannot compare them with logical assertions that lies only on suspicions like WTC bombing, UK train bombing, Mutallab bombing, russia bombing of yesterday etc.

the difference is that, the former are physical while the later are logical.

Bin Laden admitted to the WTC attacks. Video footage of the attackers dictating their wills have been outed. WTF do you mean by 'logical assertions'?

bashdecash:
an inside job just like the Mutallab case which is still not clear.

I stopped taking you seriously after reading this. Were i frosbel, i'd take all your reassurances with a pinch of salt.

WHAT ABOUT THE SITUATION WHERE DRUNKS MARK OUR SCRIPTS, I MEAN, I HAVE LIVED WITH TEACHERS WHO COLLECT SCRIPTS TO MARK AND THEN HAVE THEM TRANSFERED TO A STUDENT, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SAY ABOUT THAT? ANYWAY, THE FAILURE THING ABOUT JAMB IS LOOKING LIKE THE POLITICAL MIASMA SORROUNDING NIGERIAN EDUCATION, IKNOW WE OUGHT TO PREPARE ADEQUATELY BUT, WHAT HASW THE TEACHER DEPOSITED IN US.

JAMB scripts aren't marked by hand, you ninny!

otesy:
I totally disagree with the idea that students who fail JAMB are lazy or dull.  JAMB is an exam where the cut off mark is determined by the scores obtained.  While those students who are true to themselves, (and as such obtain scores which should actually be used in setting the cut off mark) are ridiculed,   scores obtained by one form of cheating or the other are used as a bench mark to set the cut off mark. This gives the impression that these students, who actually read and perform to the best of their capabilities, are lazy.  Let's take a step back and check ourselves, students do not set out to fail.  The failure or inability of students who put in hard work in order to meet up with the false standards set by JAMB (as a result of cut off marks that are set with falsely obtained scores) can whole be traced back to the poor level of education in the country.  It is simply a reflection, a ripple effect of the total failure of our educational system.  The fact that schools can no longer keep the attention of our students is a problem that we need to address.  Education can be just as interesting as the Premier League, Championships, Music etc.  Totally blaming the educational system too will be a failure on my part.  The success or failure of a child can usually be traced back to the home,

The benchmark is on average around 200/400. if that isn't low enough for you, what is?


Seun got it right; there are too many applicants and too few admission slots. The only answer is more universities!

@TEX! . . . yes. . .My BAD! uncalculated human error. .
But the figures isn't for xbox360 only. . . that figures covers both the PC and 360 version. . .

GOWIII will annihilate Mass Effect 2 IN TERMS of Awards . . . We shouldn't even b debating that . .

We still have games coming. . .Gaming industry follows one thread . . .Games released early in the year do no get much attention, because the buzz is over. . . Just like uncharted 2, MW2. . Everyone forgot Killzone 2. . . etc . .

That figure is for the Xbox 360 version, sorry.

As i said before, God Of War 3 can only edge ME2 on visuals alone, and not by as large a margin as you'd have hoped. On almost every other yardstick, GoW 3 falls behind Mass Effect 2.

As i said before, 40 perfect awards (many of them from multiformat game reviewers), a metacritic score of 9.6 and rave mentions in even non gaming media like Gizmodo and Time Magazine should tell you that ME2 will sweep ALL game of the year awards if it's held right now.

Killzone 2 stood no chance before MW2, not because of any 'buzz', but because infinity Ward's game had a far better multiplayer experience. Buzz has nothing to do with it. Many years after it's release, more people are playing Halo 3 online than are playing KZ2.


Not uncalculated human error. You lied. To make a point. Bad

kosovo:
Again . .  Over tracked. . . E.A says 50000  in one week VGchartz say 500,000 in 4 days. . .VGcahrtz is crap. . .

Using the same Vgchartz as a source, Mass Effect is the highest selling game this year after the usual Wii charttoppers.

Vgchartz is not a reliable source. . . They always under-track PS3 games and over-track XBOX 360 games. . .
Vgchartz is full of manupulations, today you see sumthing, tomorrow is another thing. .

Once again you appear with your lies.

http://www.ea.com/news/biowares-mass-effect-2-hailed-1st-blockbuster-of-2010

EA announced Mass Effect sold over 2 million units in the first week

I'm warning you Kosovo, keep this up and your words will be worth GARBAGE in this section.

Also NPD Group proclaimed ME2 as the 2nd highest selling title in the US for january even though it came out only on the 26th of Jan with a sales figure of 570000 sold.

kosovo:
No co-op, multiplayer and bla bla. .  Everyother aspet GOW III despoils Mass Effect 2. .  GOWIII isnt a game that requires co-op etc. . .

The lack of co-op has no effect on the review scores of a game in God of War 3's Genre, Show me reviews that have given the game knocks for a lack of co-op if you can.

And Kosovo, sorry to burst your bubble but Mass Effect 2 has no multiplayer modes, no co-op, nothing. If you really need to troll on a product, at least check out the damn game!

Mass Effect 2 has a better story, lasts longer ( 25 - 30 hours to complete), most likely has more replayability due to the different choices you can make in the game. It has phenomenal sound, excellent voice acting (praised by all reviewers).
The only edge GoW3 may have is in the graphics, and that's only by a hair. And as you can see, the 40 reviewers that handed it a perfect score loved the graphics to bits!

As it stands, ME2 is ahead of GoW3 in the race for game of the year 2010.

Bandit C said God of war 3 has to compete with mass effect 2. After just 3 weeks of release, mass effect 2 is no where to be found on world top 50 selling games. You like VGchartz seeing that you use it to back your asss up then head there and check for last week's top seller. Mass effect 2 is not even there. Uncharted 2 is still doing some 30k a week. I like how 360 fanboys support Dante's inferno over gow3. When everything in danter's inferno is nothing but a rip off. Nothing original about it. Even the story is copied. As for Alan wake, I'll comment on it when the the devs decide what genre the game will be and spoiler, Alan wake killed his wife that he was looking for. And why does Microsoft like saying better than anything you hav ever seen on a console before and has not being done on any console before"? Even the CGI trailer for Alan wake is poor quality when Normura said Final Fantasy versus 13 is better than it's CGI trailer. Microsoft should just release a new console that won't use DVD. DVD formats are easily hacked. I can get any multi plat games for free on the 360 which I get by the way and I get them before their official release date. Don't ask me where, Just get a PS3. I have both and I use xbox for multi plat games cause they free .


@Kosovo

Either zippers patch mag or mag sucks for a ps3 exclusive.

I have never seen anyone 'support' Dante's inferno over God of War 3. Everyone knows GoW 3 is the better title.
I don't know what you're smoking, but Mass Effect 2 has been out for 2 months now. Not the 3 weeks you're claiming.

When Mass Effect 2 came out, it grabbed the No 1 spot in the UK, sold over half a million units in 4 days in the US.

Using the same Vgchartz as a source, Mass Effect is the highest selling game this year after the usual Wii charttoppers.

With a higher metacritic score than GoW 3 plus more than 30 perfect review scores, if the Game of The Year award were to be held right now, Mass Effect 2 would win hands down over God of War 3.

Texaspette,
I AM NO LONGER AFRICAN. I AM IGBO. Does that make any sense to you?

This is an utterly brainless analogy. As long as you were born and stay in the African continent, you are an African.

'Igbo' is an Ethnic group. wikipedia's definition below

An ethnic group is a group of people whose members identify with each other, through a common heritage that is real or assumed- sharing cultural characteristics[1][2] This shared heritage may be based upon putative common ancestry, history, kinship, religion, language, shared territory, nationality or physical appearance. Members of an ethnic group are conscious of belonging to an ethnic group; moreover ethnic identity is further marked by the recognition from others of a group's distinctiveness.

So if these fellows do not identify with you, and they are officially recognised as a separate and distinct ethnic group, why make a fuss over it? It really matters not if you share history, it's what happens today that counts.

This is world news. if you don't want to keep informed, then kindly stay away and remain cosseted in your ignorance.

Education is not restricted to classrooms, you know.

If they don't want to be Igbo, why not let them? Why the hate? Abeg focus on more important things in life!

[quote author=metal-gong link=topic=421251.msg5786661#msg5786661 date=1269841501]Exactly my opinion . . . . These evil men are always out to rubbish well respected Igbo technocrats. As I said earlier, the overall system is the cause of INEC failures and not Prof Iwu. However, if the Jonathan still want to appoint a new INEC umpire, there are alot of people from other tribes willing to accept the job.[/quote]Yeah right. Who controls the 'overall system' of INEC? If things aren't conducive for his job, why not blow the whistle?
We see him crowing and congratulating himself even when elections have been so obviously flawed.

Stop trying to whitewash the man's reputation when we all know better.

The Swiss action originated from the arrest of Gadaffi's nephew after he brutalised some of his domestic employees. Look at you monkeys queuing up to lick Gadaffi's behind - as if you're in support for domestic violence and the brutal treatment of domestic workers.

Libya was clearly the wrong party here at least initially.

Loads and loads of luck dont wanna continue counting them.

This isn't luck, that's theft. That poor cashier probably had to come up with that money to replace what was overpaid to you. Meanwhile you're here crowing about your dishonesty.

Irresponsible journalism is rife in Nigeria.

The HP Envy series doesn't have an internal DVDrw. Sure it's an Envy?

Also, what Core i7 processor does this have if it's truly an Envy? Is this the 1st or second gen model? (first version has a Radeon HD 4830, second version has a Radeon HD 5830.

The writers of daily trust are really losing thier sanity. All their storeis now have no quotable sources, its even worse than a soft sell, "They said" who said? Is that not the first rule of journalism?

Saharareports do the exact same thing. And you Nigerians laud them for it.

It is surely as "effective" and moral as chopping off hands as punishment for petty theft. . . And since when did the CBN become a debt collection agency? (I am beginning to feel you are as useless as Sanusi as far as such matters are concerned).
I asked you a very simple question which you you obviously can't answer. Please answer this question or quit, I don't have the time for any brainless discussion;
[size=14pt]"Where in the whole World (including Sudan), have you seen bank clients names and account details published in the press by the Central Bank? Where?"
[/size]

And here's a similarly simple question.

Why are you more concerned with the 'embarrassment' of the wealthy loan defaulters than the tens of thousands of bank workers whose jobs are at risk if the loans are not paid?

In your own words, please answer this question or quit.

Were you born this mentally deranged, or did somebody drop you on your head as a kid? How the hell can you reveal d ending of a game many of us are yet to play?

I have a new copy of the game at home, just waiting for the weekend so I can tackle it. Now this imbec'ile reveals the ending. What a douchebag - posting a spoiler openly.

@texazzpete We have seen the videos, and so far Remedy entertainment have been most confused.

And you've deduced that Alan Wake has no interesting features from a few minutes of video?

@texazzpete I will rather go with the horses mouth on this one. . 1 year and six month. .

Show me where Naughty Dog claimed they developed Uncharted 2 from scratch in 18 months.

If Yar'Adua has speech problems, let them explain the person who gave that radio interview on BBC Hausa service.

The money donated will go a long way to helping the poor. That is what you should focus on instead of making snarky comments.

All it means is that the PS3 version will look as good as the 360 version.

kosovo:
Uncharted 2 says HI, 1 year and 6 months isn't a lot of time for a game that has pulled over 6000 awards. . . (insert game of the year [here])

This is why i keep saying you know nothing about the gaming industry. You're counting the time between releases as the development time. And that's false.
Even as Naughty dog devs were working on creating Uncharted, the tech guys were hard at work on the engine for Uncharted 2.
Standard gaming development. You build the engine (or license a pre-existing one like Epic's Unreal) before you start adding assets and fleshing out the details.

kosovo:
But but. . . Alan wake. . .taking over 5years to develop and still waiting, yet no new or interesting features. . .

So you've mastered time travel, gone to the future, played Alan Wake and decided it has no new features abi?

kosovo:
the same thing cannot be said of Gran turismo 5, which is close to 5 years in the making, because it brings the following to the genre. .

Head tracking . .
60fps
Full HD . . .1080p
3D
1000 cars
custom interior design
Move support
and lots more. . .

Sorry to burst your bubble, but many racers like Burnout Paradise and Forza 3 run at 60FPS.
All the other things you mentioned are relatively simple to implement (apart from interior modelling).

kosovo:
^^^^
That's true, but the engine in question was built with the PS3 in mind. . .

And? That means nothing.

Badriyyah:
I own the 360 and Ps3. And as much as I love my Ps3, I won't deny that Playstation has been lacking a lot. I don't think it's because the machine is weak, I just think that sony is not willing to spend money to give us good looking games, Hell it took FFXIII and God of War 3 to show us how games should look on the PS3.

I disagree.

80% of the games on 360 and PS3 are good looking games.
For games to look that good on PS3 or 360, more development time is needed. A whole lot more time!
As a gamer, i'd rather have a game in hand to play.

Scooping awards does not make it the best game ever, you bum. It blitzed the competition for that year only. Better games have been released, and better games will be released.


The best game of all time is still considered to be Zelda: Ocarina of Time by many people. Shame you never played it


So, by your reckoning Uncharted 2 is better than your precious MGS4? And Naughty Dog are better than the Kojima you worship. Please answer!

also implied is the fact that it will look incredible on the 360 too.

He's talking to Playstation mag, what the heck else did you expect him to say?

9jaganja:
Microsoft needs to advertise FFXIII very well on their console cause if they sell well, they are guaranteed Agito and versus. But majority of the game sales is on PS3. If Microsoft can sell at least 3mil of FFXIII on 360, they'll get the coming games. If they don't, this might be the last FF they get this generation. That's why the are doing heavy campaign on the game. They know business cause people will want the sequels of the FF so if they can't get it on 360 it will force many 360 owners to get a PS3 and they are trying to avoid that.

Read the article well. The sales split between PS3 and Xbox 360 versions is 54% : 46%

The doesn't take into account the tens of thousands of people downloading the pirated torrent of the game and running on their modded 360s.
