The pauses and breaks caused me to read the poem as dialogue (as you probably intended).  I love it!

I liked the poem.  It didn't blow me off the sidewall, but it was eye-catching.  I particularly liked the middle verse:

 

"The Light disappeared with the food it devoured,

or to put it more simply:

Out went the power"

 

I think the main part of the success of a poem, story, painting, song, or whatever, is to take the reader by surprise.

Sin and Punishment II seemed to come out of nowhere, Metroid: The other M looks highly promising also.

I remember playing Mario Party 1, 2, and 3 on the nintendo 64; however, I have problems with a Mario Party 9. It kinda brings back memories of Land Before Time 9 *shudders*

While I agree that Nintendo does need to release an online game or two sometime in the future, I don't believe it's absolutely necessary. The best games for me were single player campaigns, not multi-player games. Sometimes multi-player can really detract from the purpose of the game. Or maybe Nintendo is just trying to tell us that we need real friends. ;)

so, as we all know, left 4 dead 2 was announced at this e3 by valve. to me, it came as a surprise but im sure countless people are joyously celebrating the announcement. for me, though, valve was a real let down. i was looking forward to seeing something, ANYTHING about hl2: episode 3. i mean, its only been what, almost 2 years since ep 2 came out? considering theyre supposed to be episodic content, and that the third was supposed to be out by the end of 2007 )which was when they released episode 2). considering that and the fact that both l4d games are actual, standalone games, you can see why im irked at the fact that valve cant seem to announce a game that only has a few hours of content in it.

I'm gonna tell you now: Working on game projects is very very hard. A couple of my friends and I started working on what would turn out to be a spinoff of Shadow of the Colossus. The game took us nearly a year to create and, by the end, we had only landed one monster in the game (designed by mwa of course). Anyways, because the game was a learning experience, it took us quite a while to finish whatever we had. The interesting thing about the game; however, was debugging and updating. It took at least 6 months of our time to provide updates. We lost steam and just gave up because the entire team couldn't be involved. The reason why I mention this is because I wanted to point out that maybe Valve was burning out on Left 4 Dead, and didn't want to disappoint fans, so they worked up Left 4 Dead 2 to get the gears moving again. Seriously, nothing gets a team moving more than a sequel. Half Life episode 3 was probably put back on the shelf until they could be inspired by it again. Because videogames include imagination, they require inspiration. Just let Valve keep walking, and we'll see where they go from here. You never know, L4D2 could simply be a massive update for L4D. I dunno though, I never read anything about it.

[QUOTE="Racer_XLR"]I can think of two answers. Some simply aren't interested in what the PS3 has to offer. Or some might have a couple of games they want to play, but that hefty $400 price is pushing them away.

You and EXLINK are genius. Please stand up and say that again so everyone can hear. :D

[QUOTE="Solid_Tango"]MS: Project natan ( or whatever is called) was pretty good, modern warfare 2 ( dlc exclsive) was a cheap shot but well played from their part. SONY: The last gurdian WAS AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE!!! MGS peace walker will make me buy a psp go :P NINTENDO: :S mmmmm nvm.

Honestly, project natal is not worth their time an effort. From a design standpoint, it's going to be absolute hell for anyone making videogames on that platform. Either that, or you wont see it for years to come.

[QUOTE="Tragic_Kingdom7"]

[QUOTE="flazzle"]

What part of 'for me' didn't you comprehend? Of course we BELIEVE them. The above posted are clearly OPINIONS.

Sorry I didn't say the same about your 'pwecious' ps3. your response is fanboyism to the Nth degree.

STRETCH-E

And it's not just regular fanboyism either. It's arrogant fanboyism, which is not even fun like the more lighthearted forms of fanboyism.




I'm a fanboy for questionning comments of "not one PS3 game interests me"?
lol ok. I'm not the one saying an entire library of games for one console holds no interest.

What? It's not that there's a complete lack of interest here, it's the fact that there isn't enough interest for some people to go out and pay upwards of 300 dollars to play the games within the FPS genre.
