Late Night Consoling
by Alec Matias, Mar 18, 2005 8:00pm PSTI have a sad, sad confession to make. I haven't tried Halo 2 multiplayer. *sob* Don't look at me! Okay, look at me. Ever since the dog chewed through the network cable, I've been too lazy to replace it. Actually, I did try once, but I screwed up crimping the connector and gave up. However, I plan to set up a wireless network this weekend to accommodate the arrival of my PSP, so that may be a good time to fix that cable problem. What online PSP titles are you guys picking up?
- The Internet was ablaze with the rumor that new content for Halo 2 was on the way. Word first got out when the Korean Xbox site updated with a list for the "Halo 2: X-Pack." Bungie updated their website addressing the rumor. "Next week, we're going to have a major announcement about the details of our new maps," the statement read. "...but we can tell you this much - our entire plan is designed to make new content available for everybody, those with Xbox Live and those without Xbox Live. We hope in the end, everyone will be satisfied."
Halo 2 Announcement Forthcoming
[xbox] - The latest issue of Game Informer sheds a few clues on how the Revolution will not use the traditional buttons, as suggested by President Iwata. The controller will ditch convention and focus on touch screen technology. The argument for would be that it now puts the entire control scheme into the hands of the developers, allowing them to create the method of interaction. However, gamers lose tactile feedback. Truth or an April Fool's joke?
Nintendo's Revolution-ary Controller?
[nintendo] - IGN discovered that SEGA has registered the trademark Gunstar Super Heroes suggesting that a new game for the series may be on the way. No other details are available at this time, but IGN had plenty of speculation. They suggest it may be a port of the Genesis title from over ten years ago, which would make it likely to appear on the GBA.
New Gunstar Heroes?

i cant stress how good this game is in MP... seriously, the extreme realism in this game is pure goodness, and not a pain ! really i preorderd it, i really look forward to plyaing it (comes out the same day as end of school!!!)
Massive opportunites for all kinds of omg-innovative-control-schemes and omg-cool games like Zelda: Four Swords. It's a very welcome trade-off for me, against having a button go click and let you know you pressed it (and probably more importantly, being able to find the button with your finger without looking at the control pad), but I guess I can't be sure how much those absences will be a problem until I have the thing in my hands.
Any other Shackers going to be playing games via XLink?
The only official online title that interests me right now is Twisted Metal, but I'm waiting to hear some impressions of that one before I buy it.

Or you can bookmark this for when it comes out and I'm totally wrong and its the best thing ever.
Seems like every Canadian online retailer (FS, BB, Amazon) are only selling the Gretzky bundle or another more expensive bundle... Gotta love these strongarm tactics :( Thieves!
Now I need to decide if I give in or wait for more value packs to come in - out of town on the 24th anyway, but when I get back the 28th I guess I'll call around and see if anyone has any in stock still w/out Gretzky.
