| I've never been into black metal that much - always been more of a melodeath fan myself - but I occasionally listen to an album. Top bands would be: Nachtmystium (well worth checking out Instinct:Decay and Assassins: Black Meddle Part 1; not your typical black metal as it has some psychedelic influe... |

| I don't think the Xbox will ever play Blu-Ray discs since it's a format invented by their competitor Sony. Blu-Ray is owned by numerous companies, one of which is Sony. Granted, I'm sure Microsoft would probably be paying royalties to Sony on each game or console (not an expert on the issue, clearl... |

| I'm fairly good with the technical aspect of the English language considering the amount of teaching I've had in it (nothing other than the basics) and the fact that it's my second language. I fall down when it comes to prose and dialogue, though. That's not to say that I can't put together a paragr... |

| Nintendo's Wii has already found its niche Heh, yeah if you call selling twice as many units as the 360 and PS3 put together last month as a "niche" (a month that saw the release of GTA 4), then you would be correct. Not going to go into an argument on which is the better platform or deserves to se... |

| I can't provide a source, because I can't remember (probably GameSpot), but I remember reading a segment of an interview with somebody from Bioware, who was asked whether they would ever create a game with the same scope as Baldur's Gate II. For those who haven't played it, it's a 2D isometric RPG w... |

| So... how do you get yourself to actually sit down and get those words on the page? Have you ever had success writing something because you had a deadline or a contest looming, rather than just working on it at your own pace? I have a lot of problems with writing as well. In fact, I presently have ... |

| Source? What you mean source you didn't know about this? This was planned way before the 360 in fact the 360 was a prototype. Same as the Sega Dreamcast Was a Prototype for Xbox as the Xbox was a Prototype for 360. Source means provide a source or nobody is going to believe you. Also, I don't think... |

Keeping in mind that it's been a while since I played 10 and 12, I would have to say Squall. I really like him as a character, though he ... |

I can find enjoyment in most, however - driving games, shooters, adventure games, action-adventures, sandboxes and even JRPGS and MMOs. I don't restrict myself. 3.... |

| I played MGS3: Subsistence for the first time a few months back and it was an amazing experience; very tightly scripted and well-made. Beats MGS2 easily, and in comparison to the original, there's enough changes or improvements to warrant my vote for it. |

I hear its a great game with an original setting and characters I believe you can download it on the XBox Live Originals service - assuming you have a 360, that is. It's available on Steam (http://www.steampowered.com) for PC, and probably from Ebay or EBGames if... |
