  • Halo 3 running in 640p

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

If the game is above 320p, then it's HD. Oh, I guess you forgot how low a resolution standard TV is?

So the game isn't true 1080i... so fucking what? I can't tell the difference between any of the HD resolutions anyway-- if it's HD it's HD.

Doesn't make a lick of difference to me on my ghetto SD TV, heh.

The only visual issue I have with the game is the aliasing, which I generally don't notice unless I stop and look for it. While the game doesn't have Gears' jaw-dropping <i>Jesus fucking Christ I can't believe I'm playing a game that looks this good</i>-ness, it makes up for it in another ways.

Wouldn't have known if I wasn't told. Don't care.

Ya know, fuck Halo. ;) I'm gonna go get my 360 shipped off after all and get Gears, which everyone said was fanfuckingtstic.

Gears is good. It's missing something I can't quite put my finger on that keeps it from being awesome, but it's definitely good. Halo is better.

Yeah, but Gears is probably a bit cheaper now. (Of course, like any totally awesome and popular game, they don't devalue very well.) I can get Halo in another 6-9 months or so.

Have you got Crackdown, Sine? If not, get it. It was the game of the year for me until BioShock came out.

Yeah, I highly recommend Gears and Crackdown. Both are fantasticly fun.

No much, pathetically. Still going for $50 used in Canada
