I can't believe that rear projection style t.v.'s are still being made, period. Well, I guess there're still many people out there who don't want to pay the price for comparable LCD or plasma sets...
My HD cable service is anything but that; there are about 8 channels over the entire lineup that are offered in HD and the rest is just as bad in transmission as standard cable. Oh well, at least I get to listen to tomorrow's weather forecast in 5.1 surround sound and eye-popping 1080...
There were so many complaints about the lack of mid-game saves and the difficulty that the "Gold Edition" expansion pack allowed for that option; it actually ruined the game's challenge, as you could save as many times as you wanted to.
Also, does anyone remember how hard it was to play as the Alien in that game? That was rough...
Yup, AvP2 is still on my desktop after all of these years. I actually prefered the harder difficulty of the first, (my only great accomplishment in life was beating AvP1 on Director's cut), however playing the game is nearly impossible unless you're running Windows '98 or very old video drivers for a card; AvP1 just isn't compatible for the modern age.
Anyone play Extinction? It was o.k. for an RTS using Aliens characters...
I remember that 'promo. I knew quite a few families that suddenly had a PS3 and didn't even really know what to do with it-they were in it for the t.v.!
I've been waiting since '01-'02 for another PC based AvP game. With today's graphics capabilities another addition to the franchise would be breathtaking...
Isn't it possible to use the GH controller for RB? Also, wasn't there some sort of contraversy regarding either PS3 or 360 having programming to prevent using the "wrong" controller with either game?
Edit: I found some 'info on this after all...

Wait a minute. Don't most modern sets calibrate themselves? Even my outdated "HD" projection monitor calibrates itself. What a rip-off.
In regards to the cables, I guess Sony figures that most people haven't gone HD yet...
The LV2 is "forest camouflage." The mere mention of the color scheme is enough to make some people vomit. A forest colored plane? Realistic maybe, but unattractive nonetheless.
Ew...
So what're we talking about here, advanced sound deadening, heavier suspension and drivetrain pieces, stronger framework, miles more worth of electrical equipment, stuff like that?
Just re-watched "Hand of God," for the hell of it. It was awesome watching Apollo fly his Viper through the tunnel and out onto the Cylon base and then blowing it, a great episode all in all...
