Alyx Vance is-a nice, maybe she gets her own game? |
Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: Gabe Newell, Valve Corporation

She may be too much to be contented remaining in the shadows of Freeman; Valve's Gabe Newell revealed to IGN that they might be thinking about a Half-Life spin-off revolving around Half-Life 2 (PS3, PC, Xbox 360) sidekick Alyx Vance. And Dog.
We'd like to do games that are about Alyx. We'd like to do games that are about Dog. I don't think we've made this decision that it's always going to be you playing Gordon in the first-person with Alyx as a companion...
Obviously having Alyx as the player character breaks the "silent protagonist" mold of Half-Life - unless Valve mutes her, of course - but it does allow the devs to explore other parts of the Half-Life universe. A lot of the Half-Life universe. Like, what the heck really happened in that Seven-Hour War?
Of course, this might still be in the future; Valve's just begun with Episode Three after all.

- PS3: 3.2 million consoles have been sold (during Nov. 2006 - Apr. 2007)
(0.53 million consoles per month)
- Wii: 7.3 m sold (Nov. 2006 - Apr. 2007)
(1.21 m per month)
- X360: 9.0 m sold (Nov. 2005 - Apr. 2007)
(0.5 m per month)
- Wiis are being sold with fastest rate...
Wii > PS3 > X360
- Wii consoles are only for kids (parents want to waste least amount of money for their br+ts and b+tches).
- Wiis are only for parties (when your friends come to your house).
- Wiis are for gifts to the close people.
- So many analysts at different organization said that either PS3 or X360 will eventually win this new-war in several years.
- Wii consoles don’t have longevity (Wii = GameCube II = fad).
Based on the above factors, let’s only talk about the worthy candidates: PS3 and X360.
PS3 consoles are sold with slightly faster selling-rate than X360’s. Let me just add more info here...
- X360: 7.5 m sold (Nov. 2005 - Nov. 2006)
(0.57 million consoles per month)
- X360: 1.5 m sold (Dec. 2006 – Apr. 2007)
(0.3 m per month)
PS3 (0.53 m per month) > X360 (0.3 m per month)
MS sold 0.57 million X360s per month because it was totally a monopoly (it’s immoral); gamers had no other choices (options) to choose from until Nov. 2006. So, who (what) can save this ever-falling X360 and Microsoft (from hell)? To be frank with you, I’m not sure. So, you stup+d Xbox fanboys just need to learn how to shut your mouth. I’m talking to you with actual data and flat facts based on factual information.
Remember this - every price tag (cost) below is in Canadian dollar. Also, every price is tax-inclusive.
- An X360 console (high end, 20GB): $570
- One game: $90
- Live Subscription Fee: $1,030 ($103 per year, 103 x 10 years = 1030)
You must waste $1,030 only for online usage. Will you play online games only for this year, and never play online-games from next year? That’s non-sense, idi+ts.
* Above are mandatory (vital, must have) accessories.
If you only calculate for one year online fee, you must have $763 to buy an X360 console (You must have $1,690 to buy an X360 console for 10 years).
If anyone had $763, he would buy a PS3 console instead of an X360.
One PS3 console (high end, 60GB) + above mandatory elements: $798
Ah, I almost forgot to mention 'the future-proof device' called Blu-ray drive. You earn (for free) at least $1,150 if you pay $798. Blu-ray drive is a free bonus. It’s that simple.
- Sony Blu-Ray Player: $1,370
- Samsung Blu-ray Player: $1,150
X360 console + power brick + HD output (HD-DVD add-on) are much bigger and much heavier than the PS3 console (a PS3 console includes everything).
X360 fanboys say most gamers buy new consoles only to play games, not to watch movies. I'll just say one thing to them since I don't want to waste too much time to educate these illogical, unreasonable, and insensible mor+ns. I have lived countless number of days so far, and I have never seen one single person (human being) who hates watching movies. As far as I can think of, all human creatures on the planet called Earth have a habit of watching movies regularly. X360 fanboys, how far (or low) are you willing to go to defend your company (Microsoft) and your lost console (X360)? X360 is already shut up; X360 is not a losing console; X360 is a lost console.
So many professional analysts said that X360 console's life-span is 5 years. It means the current X360 can’t handle the new games which will be released after 2009. Those analysts said that PS3 can handle all the future games until 2015. Then X360 fanboys must waste another $800 to buy a newly designed (sounds familiar? - cough – Elite - eh hem) X360 in 4 years from now on. Why do you want to support X360 console when X360 will last half the period of PS3?
Wii = last-gen console (GameCube II).
X360 = current-gen (suitable for 2005 - 2009).
PS3 = the future, the only next-gen (perfect for 2006 - 2015).

btw: 95% of ppl wont even bother reading it so u'r crappy attempt at bashing the X360 has more or less failed.
1 more thing - X360 + Live kicks the PS3's ass - PSN has squat on it whereas Live has new content every other day [Darkness + Shadowrun demo in first week of June]

All that babble fro nothing. If Im playing a PS3 in 2015 with the same average graphics, which xbox can match and beat, that would be pretty pathetic. There will be somthing better by that time. Plus blu ray player is not free bonus....you jerk. Its the sole reason playstation costs a fortune. $1000 for a console is outragous. Oh ya and the games are garbage....no selection. What is there, like 10 games versus 100 odd on xbox. PS3 SUCKS!!! maybe in a year it will have some decent tiltles. Who wants to wait a year?
