Mass effect choices

Canderis — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 05:46:42 GMT

I've started to work my way through this series finally and it's just incredible the amount of choices and outcomes this game has.

spoiler:
I just got through the part in mass effect 1 where you had to chose between ash and Kaiden. I really felt sad after leaving Kaiden to die.

So what were your most memorable choices from this game series?

The Outlander Club Console War Poll

Sabretooth — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:43:50 GMT

Finally, it's E3. We have all the data. We have all the boxes. We have all the exclusives and wavings of phallic objects and jeering and cheering. We know what the consoles are and what they look like. What the smell like. One of them smells like victory. Tell us which.

Vote for the one console that you are most likely to buy. If you plan on buying multiple, vote for the one you value more (or are more excited for). Don't hold back, people! We want nothing but blood and guts in this thread! BLOOD AND GUUUUUTS!

The PS4 - The Console Wars Are Over

Boba Rhett — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 03:12:31 GMT

OH. MY. GOD. Anyone else just watch the Sony conference? They easily win this generation.

-Used games.
-No DRM.
-100 dollars less than Xbox. $399.
-Screw you, Microsoft.
-Flawless victory.

You should be so very ashamed of yourselves, Microsoft. You betrayed your fans. I loved you once.

What could Microsoft possibly do to counter this? Me thinks there's a lot of soiled pants at MS HQ right now.

Also, this.

Discuss.

It's Finally Here: Star Wars Battlefront

So, neat teaser trailer, huh? I'll add it to the post when it appears on YouTube but as of EA's E3 conference, Star Wars: Battlefront has been officially announced, as what I guess is a reboot of the series.
EDIT:

Xbox one reveled today!:

Code:

Microsoft on Tuesday unveiled the Xbox One, the newest version of its popular game console.

Don Mattrick, president of Microsoft's interactive entertainment business, said the company wanted to design and build the "ultimate all-in-one home entertainment system."



The Xbox One will be available around the world later this year.



The Xbox One includes games, TV, movies, music, the Web, and apps. It has Skype and live TV capabilities, as well as voice recognition to switch between programs, new gesture recognition, and the ability to operate multiple programs at the same time. And users make group video calls via Skype, said Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of marketing, strategy, and business for Microsoft's interactive entertainment business.

The new Xbox home screen identifies users and logs them in with all their favorite apps and games. It remembers what they were doing the last time they played, and those actions show up on the home screen. A new "trending tab" shows users what's popular with friends and the overall community.





The Xbox One also includes three operating systems in one -- the Xbox operating system, a Windows OS kernel, and software to connect the two operating systems for multitasking. Microsoft also launched a new Xbox Live system for its updated game console Under the hood of the large, sleek, black device are an eight-core processor, 8GB of RAM, Blu-ray, USB 3, HDMI in/out, and a 500GB hard drive..

Microsoft, which is hosting its special next-generation Xbox event at its Redmond, Wash., headquarters, last introduced a new gaming console, the Xbox 360, in 2005. Since that time, the Xbox has become the best-selling game console in the country. In April alone, consumers spent $208 million on hardware, software, and accessories for the Xbox.



However, the new Xbox launch comes as the game console business faces an uncertain future. More and more people are turning to mobile devices and the Web for gaming, which has resulted in weaker console sales. The Nintendo Wii U, which includes a tablet-like game controller that doubles as a second screen, has faced tepid interest since launching late last year. Sony, meanwhile, unveiled its Playstation 4 in February, but the device isn't expected to hit the market until the fall.





The Xbox One is being positioned as a complete home entertainment system.

James Martin/CNET

To help game consoles become more of a living room staple, Microsoft has been incorporating more entertainment capabilities into its Xbox, including media-streaming functionality. Throughout the event Tuesday, Microsoft positioned the Xbox One as an entertainment system, not just a game console.

This story is being updated as events unfold in real time.

I do encourage you to check out the link as you can see pictures of it and the new "retro" controller. I obviously can't judge the counsel yet but in my opinion they completly killed the xbox's sleek apperance...it looks like an oversized DVD player...and don't even get me started on the controller ;)
