Skeet is a Navy SEAL, I'm 95% sure of it. I didn't see it mentioned on here, but two episodes back, after he takes a shower and the teacher walks in on him you can see dog tags hanging around his neck. Plus they've mentioned that he was going back to San Diego, which is one of the major bases...

If I remember correctly, the game has some static backgrounds, but the camera does pan around. It's not one angle per room or anything like that. The camera work is actually getting a fair bit of praise.

I'm going to wait for the weekly ads after the game is out. I'm pretty sure places like Best Buy won't be selling the game for $60.

The EB $15 off deal is was mentioned in a story on IGN Tuesday night. Link Removed

EB is apparently running a pretty nice deal right now. If you turn in a regular Nintendo-brand controller, they'll knock 15 dollars off the Wavebird's price. They'll only let you trade in two controllers for that deal though :-) That's much more tempting for someone like me who bought 4...

Should be hitting stores sometime Tuesday or Wednesday.

People who think Nintendo would make more money just as a publisher: you're smoking crack! Think about this, right now Nintendo takes in 100% of the money for every game of their own that they sell, plus 15-20% of the money from games that are out on Gamecube from other publishers (for...

Considering the first game released for the system, Luigi's Mansion, had the dual analog setup, I don't think it would've been that hard to use that type of setup for Metroid. Nintendo has said since it first became known that the game would have a first person perspective that the game...

N64 sold 35 million consoles worldwide. If they hit their 50 million target with Gamecube, I don't see why they'd drop out of the hardware side of things. Sega was in much worse financial trouble, only after multiple failures of systems and add-ons did they finally throw in the towel. The...

FYI, auto-locking in Metroid is basically Z targeting from the Zelda games. It's not automatic, if an enemy is on the screen you have to pull the L trigger to initiate the lock-on. Just like in Zelda, you don't have to use it, but it's much harder to kill anything if you don't. It will be next...

The default controls on Goldeneye and Perfect Dark didn't let you circle strafe very easily, but if you switched them to the 1.2 option, AKA Turok's controls, you could pull of circle strafing just fine. Metroid Prime's controls are based on adventure games like Zelda. Circle strafing is...

Rare only had one game at E3 this year, Star Fox. Compared to last year where they had 3 Gamecube games (one on video) and 4 GBA games on display, none of which have come out yet. Something is definitely going on. Nintendo owns somewhere between 25-49% of Rare. The founders of Rare, the...

These ads are set in stone two, three weeks ahead of time. Microsoft had all ready told stores they were dropping their price, so that's why you see what you see. That's also the proof Sony used to cut their price "first" last week. Doesn't matter in the long run anyway, the prices in the...

Metroid is staying true to it's roots. IGNcube put up more movies last night of areas not in the E3 demo. They showed platform jumping, including the double jump, which looked easy to do even in first person. Also in the new videos was more ball rolling goodness and new out door areas that...

Don't forget the rumors (via Link Removed) that say Sony and Nintendo may drop the price of new software to $40!

I'm 95% sure we will be playing a Zelda on our Cubes by the end of the year.

The original Playstation droped it's price from $300 to $200 one year after it came out, to compete with the N64 which was priced at $250 (which Nintendo then droped to $200 in time for launch).

A little birdie told me they gave it a 9.0

You guys are forgetting the game that has quite a good chance at becoming the largest MMORPG of them all: The Sims Online. It's the best selling PC game of all time now, I think it'll appeal to a much larger audience then all the other games that have been mentioned.

If you can hold off a day or two from when the game is officially released next week, Target is going to start selling the game next Thursday for $40. This information can be found in their weekly ad that'll be in this coming Sunday’s newspapers. Edit: Doh! I Spelled the title wrong in my...

No, it doesn't take 5 years to develop a game, but the same people behind Mario were also doing the Zelda games as well. Plus Miyamoto is not going to turn Mario into Tomb Raider and just release a new rehash every Christmas to cash in, he waits till there are enough good ideas to make a great...

Sean, it's not that easy. Companies know that Microsoft is in a bad position and they would drive a very hard bargain. Do you have any idea how much it would cost Microsoft to pay for all those games? They'd have to pay for the all development costs, millions of dollars, and then they'd have...

Did you actually see what Dinosaur Planet was before it changed into Star Fox? It was a bunch of "cute" cats running around in a Zelda-like enviornment. Star Fox hardly changed that "mature" game into something for kids.

Great. The whole Rare being bought out thing is BS, it was started as a joke over at the Gaming-Age forums. A poster by the name of Lord Federman wanted to see if people would actually run with the rumor and it looks like people really did. I don't know what Computer and Videogames is...

If you can resist, I'd hold off until after E3, which is six weeks away. At that time, developers/publishers announce what they have on tap for the next year or so. The picture with Capcom and Xbox should be made much clearer. Plus, there may be price drops announced for two or even all three...

I've heard nothing about the game being censored for the US. Considering how close it is to release, I'm sure we would've heard something about it by now.

While the Beta is about finding bugs, the biggest reason Blizzard is having a public beta is to balance the game. They've already changed quite a lot since the beta opened up a month ago and I expect it to change some more before they're done. Hopefully they can get it out by their target, the...

Yes, people don't like Xbox. They've been with Nintendo or Sony and they don't like to see someone else trying to muscle in on that territory. It's called brand loyalty and it happens with plenty of other things, cars, home theater equipment, etc. As for Xbox in Japan.. I guess it would...
