Twilight Princess



Around the Network

I was a big fan of the original xbox and I thought that since Shenmue 2 was on the original xbox that there would be an announcement of Shenmue 3 on the 360.  Since then, it seems that Sega has shifted their cinematic gaming over to the PS3 and I'm really hoping that if Kenshan! comes to America and does well and that if it is followed by Yakuza 3 and it also does well, then we'll finally get spiffy, awesome blu-ray / PS3 exclusive versions of Shenmue 3 and 4 (I read a long time ago that it was originally envisioned as a 4 part series) produced by Sega and developed by Yu Suzuki.

 

Another factor that influenced me to buy a 360 in March of '06 was that based on rumours that I had read in OXM, I was thinking that a Live version of World of Warcraft might be coming to the 360.

 

Lastly, it was the hype and the fact that they were hard to get during the first six months or so.  Of course, it turned out that the ones from that time period were probably the ones folks shouldn't buy due to rlod.  Mine is still running and still under warranty though. 



Heavens to Murgatoids.

I love HD, gaming, and Blu-ray.. couldn't really settle on one console, so bought each of them.

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

Zelda.

That's for any gen.

But didn't you already play the same Zelda in the previous generation??

I seriously don't get the Zelda love here... personally I don't really like that game at all.

 

 

I seriously don't get why so many people think MGS series is the best (and have even been called a fanboy because I said it wasn't my favourite series, mind you that was on Gamefaqs... :P).  But it's called opinions, you have yours, we have ours, capiche? :P

Anyways, my favourite Zelda is probably Twilight Princess, followed by OoT, then LttP (I hope you don't mind me using acronyms :P).

 

Anyways as for on topic,  the Wii's amazing games+features, and eventually the PS3's amazing games and Blu-Ray+HD, and this may, 360 for Live, and it's amazing games. :D

The graphics on the HD platforms reached height were I was satisfied (the resolution is a huge plus for me), and a lot of games that I would normally consider PC games (if they are also on consoles or not) started coming to the consoles only (Gears of War, Army of Two, shooters influenced me mostly)
So I finally decided to get rid of my awesome PC rig (I had a hate/love relationship with that thing), and buy a PS3.
