Oh my beloved Rare, what have you become? :'(


trash like everything else Microsoft touches? Why do you think Nokia is expected to be bankrupt in about 2 years, Microsoft is involved. Why do you think Bungie was reduced to a single game series that constantly got worse? Microsoft was involved. The number of PC RTS games declined Microsoft was involved. Some PC games are bogged down by horrid software, Microsoft is still involved. Even internet standards were dying till Internet Explorer had competition.

Seriously, unless it's an operating system or the Xbox console itself, everything Microsoft touches rots away at its core. And unfortunately I'm telling the truth, Microsoft has a very bad history of destroying companies. No idea why it happens, just does. And if anyone here start a company and Microsoft wants to purchase assets or sign a deal, file bankruptcy immediately.

Rare didn't "rot" because of MS. Putting out mediocre games caught up with Rare.

I don't know much about Nokia... but they haven't been very relevant in years. I can't remember the last time someone was excitied about a Nokia product.

PC gamers don't want RTS games anymore. They are too busy playing MMOs and pirating everything else.

I'm sure Bungie left MS because simply didn't want to be tied down to the 360. Whether they were going to develop Halo games or not. Studios have broken away from Sony as well.

You're just spewing a lot of bullcrap. I'll never understand why Sony fans are so avid about nit picking MS. Maybe to take attention away from Sony dropping the ball so badly on PS3?


banned for saying this...?

It is flaming to be fair, although I'd take more issue from the PC Gamers = pirates comment.

Either way they're both banned now, lol.

Funny how baised banning had to be pointed out to ban the other though.

Huge difference still.  To get a Wii machine you automatically got the original Wii Sports.  But the Wii machine was used for buying all other games.  The Wii Motion Plus' debut was with this game Wii Sports Resort.  People were buying this game to play it because it was the first game to utilize the Wii motion plus accessory.

Meaning they were buying this package for the software, because the hardware it came with was only used to play one piece of software at the time.  And even if what you were saying was true, it's no longer an issue.  Because the wii motion plus comes built into remotes as of November (before it's first holiday season).  It's easier to get a Wii Plus remote than a wii remote and then the wii plus extension in a pack in game.

And I worked at GameStop this Holiday Season.  Sports Resort was no longer being bundled with that hardware because Wii Plus Remotes were being highlighted in a very big way by phasing out the old remote model that used the extension.  Though I believe you can still go to a site like amazon.com for bundles if you'd like.

Word on the street is that most of the classic Rare team is now long-gone anyway, sadly.  It's a shame, but Microsoft did at least try to get Rare to keep producing titles along the lines of their classic games, but none were particularly successful (Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Kameo, Perfect Dark Zero, etc.).  Some were not bad games, but none justified Microsoft's investment in Rare.

I tell you what, a Kinect-exclusive Kameo 2 might just get me purchasing the motion sensing device.


thats would be a great idea, each creature you collect is so different, so using diff hand/body controlls to use them would be mint.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

Why were you banned? For telling an embarrassing, and painful for many, truth?
