February 28 reports and opinions
"High Moon Studios' (Darkwatch) technical boss Clinton Keith tells Next-Gen how much the Cell has to offer and how his studio plans to bust the processor wide open."- By Kris Graft This was a nice little interview... why not check it out! I still think even if that extra power is there, it won't be a generation ahead of the 360... Like the xbox was to the PS2. I don't know if you all know this, but the xbox(1) was supposedly 1 or 2 generations ahead of the PS2, yet you saw how all the games looked for the xbox in comparison (was better looking but not a whole generation better). And, again... power doesn't necessarily ever mean much when you see who is winning in the handheld consoles battle, and xbox vs. PS2. But it's nice bit of info to have.
SALES top ten: UK ALL-FORMAT TOP 20, WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 24 February 21 Con's newsCon's Confessions:
Ok... so I come home, from work after going to martial arts class(capoeira) and BestBuy... I turn on the 360 to find almost everyone online playing Crackdown. I activate mine as well. Long story short: played played played... went to sleep late... now I'm dosing off at freakin'-work dreaming about more cra...ck......zzzz.... DOWN...* wipes mouth of saliva!!!! reports and opinions
Last time I saw this game, didn't look as interesting as Blue Dragon... hmmm.
Now don't go spreading this like it's actually going to happen... it's possible though. We'll see... reports and opinions
"That is nearly 18 percent higher than the 250,000 units sold in the same month a year earlier, according to Molly O'Donnell..." February 19 reports and opinions
Sales figures on Xbox 360 in India :- Selling more Premiums than Cores was the interesting note of the story....
February 17 reports and opinions
It's nice to know that the "press" and journalists question theirselves and how the industry is run... thus far, it's only in the gaming industry that we humble ourselves to see how our roles impact the industry. If you watch the IGN video link I put up, you'll see what I mean. February 16 reports and opinions
Low sales could be because of strong Wii sales... but people knew it would happen.
Looks like an interesting article...
February 13 reports and opinionsCrackdown Reviews Are In:
8/10 @ IGN.com - "Some of the best and most addictive gameplay on Xbox 360. Not a long game"
9/10 @ 1up.com(EGM Magazine) - "The very best in running and gunning."
7.8/10 @ GameSpot.com - "While you'll certainly have a lot of fun playing Crackdown, it's hard not to get the distinct feeling that it was on the cusp of being so much more."
8/10 @ GameDaily.com - "Crackdown stands out as one of the Xbox 360's guiltiest pleasures."
My review from purely from the demo (not the whole game) would be 10/10 if I just had to rate it with the amount of fun I had.
February 08 Prediction PlayCon's Prediction: Halo 3 vs. Killzone
You have not heard a peep about Killzone after the beautiful footage of PS3's trailer. You won't hear about Killzone at GDC... my guess is that Sony knows the threat of Halo 3, and they waiting to refine the game to be not only a match for Halo 3, but to blow the hinges off of what anyone might have expect. It will be the one to battle Halo 3.
What do you think...? February 06 Prediction PlayShare with me your prediction that would be quite amazing to you...
Con's Prediction: Zune & Xbox 360
My prediction is that in the future, you will be able to download music, just like iTunes, onto your EXBOXTHREEHUNDRED& SIXTY(360)... when the xbox market place and the zune market place come together. This would be mind blowing!! what do you think... it will happen in the holidayzzz! news - xbox 360
"SEGA today scored an ace by announcing that the upcoming Virtua Tennis 3 will be first game on Xbox 360 run full-fat 1080p high definition graphics."
Noisy xbox 360s get queited down for only the upcoming customers... enjoy!! February 05 Xbox Ambassador Podcast IdeaThe idea is not to create another forum to add to the 101 forums we log on already... it's not to create a whole new huge commitment for people that already don't have much time on their hands anyway. It's game to play... and it's basically a game that we've already been playing. We can call it the game of community... and this ambassador blog/podcast is like the next level or stage of that game.
If Trixie makes an ambassador forum, we can use that. We can use the MySpace account that has just been create. We can use all the tools already in place. The only thing that I can think of happening that might be extra is me possibly hosting a website with our gamertag links, profiles(optional), links to forums and other podcast sites, and a calendar for events. I didn't even come up with the name yet because I'd like it to be a group effort. So things are moving along with the enthusiasm. Who's in...? reports and opinions
Article on Next-Gen talking about the aspects of making money in retail of gaming. I say, gaming is a luxury(if I can't afford it, it might suck for me, but I'll have to deal with it others ways)... and a business. It's mostly (not all the time) about making money first... how? Making something that hopefully people will like. Hey, we all gotta make money one way or another... February 04 PodCast Test intoHERE's what I said, if you didn't hear it too clear.... LOL:
Well, welcome people. This is my first video blog... it's gonna be a blog cast what ever you wanna call it... podcast. Coming to you live and direct, first time ever. ConArtistic.... IN THE FLESH! So I welcome you, welcome all your comments... welcome to meet any of you that I haven't met. AND, some news to come... and you know, me bugging out. The star of my own show.... L'me click out.
I've always wanted to be more active in the gaming community... post more, be of more service to gamers but lack of time or consistancy holds me back. So I thought maybe there are others such as myself with not exactly too much time or money to get something like that started but would love to get something going. I would like to take a stab at this idea of having one xbox ambassador (casual bloggers) from each state/country to get something going. I would like to start some sort of casual bloggers podcast. I am out of NY. Here are some of the criterias I would be looking for: 1) xbox ambassadors 2) fairly casual blogger and active in forums 3) full-time profession (I'm an architect, so I work the 9-5) 4) listens to podcasts (I do, religiously) 5) perferrably a game addict or just love playing games (a responsible addict, hehehe) 6) bonus is if you work somewhat in the industry or tech guyz to start a website. 7) inspired or interested in an idea like this 8) has a 360 (other systems are fine) the intent is purely for those of us that would like to contribute to the community at a higher level and be heard. If you are interested, just post on my blog.
