Thanks for the info-are the zillions of VR missions non-story driven?I was wondering about the "pick up and play" factor.

I believe you aim with the L trigger...the enemies often scream or groan when hit.I wish I could order my guys around ala R6 or GRIT,though.

Don't know about anywhere else,but the TRU here has the games clearly marked with a 50% off card below the game case.Got MGS2 Substance for 7.50.BTW,is this game any good?I figure I'll get 8 bucks of fun out of it,but I've never played any of the MGS games.

What a coincidence,all 25 passionate soccer fans in the country in the same place at the same time.You're right - it only seems to take 3 or 4 hours to complete a match.Hey,I'm not begrudging your love for the game,but if the question is why isn't it more popular here,then my less than informed ...

What is with all these calls coming after the play is over? Whenever I've been the visitor (online), I'm seeing these calls which are costing me big time. There are no late hits, just a cutscene of two guys pushing each other. I am really getting sick of it.

Also, where are the holding, false ...

It's tough to watch a 3-4 hour sporting event and see 1 maybe 2 goals scored.That is the main problem with soccer here.People love to watch their kids play it,but as a televised sport it is long and dull to most people.It is hockey's problem as well.Both will always be niche sports,popular in a few ...

When FDale Kings does his updates,you'll want to get those.His created players and re-editing of guys no longer on teams into guys who are are really good.He's doing all of the 1-AA teams,and should be done with those in a couple weeks,too.

Alot of the issues in EA football can be addressed thru sliders.Zeroing out pass blocking and defensive break block help the line play alot,and pancake stats are pretty normal.Time in the pocket is reduced.Reducing QB accuracy to 2 or 3 negates alot of the improbable back foot throws and the darts ...

Print and save your receipt.At worst,you can cancel the order.I had no intention of getting this game but at 20 bucks I went ahead and ordered.Either it's a colossal f-up or Sega's gonna start giving their s***away.Looking at the sales numbers it may be the latter

I get 12 channels of HBO for 10 bucks a month and it is so worth it it's not funny.From the boxing to the comedy specials and the original programming it's more bang for the buck than cable itself.

I'm not THAT good at racing games,but shifting gears is such an integral part of driving fast/competitively that I think it's as important as steering and braking.I suppose using auto-fielding in a baseball game or letting the cpu execute a running play in football is a good analogy.It's a third of ...

It is unthinkable to use auto tranny-may as well let the cpu steer,too.
