Superman Returns demo is on the marketplace tonight...it's not terribly impressive, but is fun to mess around with. Nothing next gen, however.
However, I can't argue that is a ton of fun to pick a car up and hurl it into oblivion...or people, whichever is nearer.

this is my biggest problem so far with this generation. superman returns is basically the same game regardless of which version you buy. the 360 is simply a port of the others. so you pay $60 for SR, when you can get the same experience for the ps2 for $40. /rant

It really depends on what game you're playing. And it's not gonna be any different on the PS3. It usually takes about a year for developers to really start tapping the potential of the box. |

The experience was helped by my realization that Superman is a dick, so I couldn't help but make dickish comments as I rescued/froze/****ed around with people and things..

i never said it was. SR is a port. many other games are ports, and it sucks that this next generation wont really be that until the old generation dies off. and you can make the case that ncaa was a port from madden 360 and in some ways that hurt the game. but thats another rant.

This generation is the XBox 360. In reality, your problem is with a SINGLE GAME - Superman Returns. |

ncaa was built off the madden 360 engine. it was completely tweaked for the ncaa style but still contained some of maddens shot comings.
fine, replace SR with [insert any game that went across all platforms and cost $20 more on 360 with no basic difference.]

And yes, cross-platform games are often ports. It was like that with the XBox and PS2, why would you expect it to be any different with the XBox 360? FWIW, the PS3 will have the same exact issue. |

So I went to MicroCenter today and picked up an XBOX 360 ($100 rebate). I already have a fairly nice PC that will run all the latest games, but getting a 360 with Gears of War, COD3, and Halo3 down the road.....I couldn't resist. Now I have a bit of buyers remorse, and I'm trying to talk myself into keeping it. Heck, I have to spend another $220 just to get one game, the wireless network connection and Gold Live.
I have a 7 and 5 year old, so I'm trying to rationalize it also by saying they can use it also (just a few kid games so far). The thing that makes me think "keep it", is it's ability to serve as a media center for my plasma. I have pics and video burned on my pc, and this should allow me to view on the TV hooked up to the XBOX, correct? |
