for some reasons, the 2k9 version of billup remind me a hint of stephon marbury. Which is bad.

That is what game consoles are created for. TO PLAY GAAAMMMEEEESSS! I rather buy a PS3 or xbox 360 over a new powerful computer. A new comp cost about 2000 bucks when a console cost about 500. The games between consoles and computer look almost the same and as for the price of systems... you do the math.

I hope Valve won't make Half Life 2 episode 3 DX10 exclusive...

Hameyadea don't count on that. Tell you all the truth, xbox 360 and the ps3 are actually more powerful then most high computers and laptops right now. I wouldn't be surprise to see World of Conflict for the xbox 360 running full 60 frames per second.

If you ask me, I think they should've redesigned that directional pad.

oh my god you pokemon GAMES hater. pokemon diamond and pearls are awesome games. These are the first pokemon games i have ever played in my life. If all of you just get past the whole pokemon theme and just play it as a roleplaying game. It is actually a very good game. P.S. ADVANCE WARS RULEZZZ WHEN WILL THEY ANNOUNCE ANOTHER ADVANCE WARS GAME WITH WI-FI MULTIPLAYER
