"It's taken years, but..."
"years"? more like not even one year and a half.
i've told you a million times PS3F not to exaggerate! ;-)

totally.
Army of Two co-op > Ao2 solo
heck, even co-op in Dark Kingdom made the game kinda fun...

actually, according to IGN, many of Interplay's big franchises were last heard on the PS2, not the PS1. ;)
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Giants: Citizen Kabuto, and MDK2 Armageddon were all PS2 titles.

why would M$ fabricate a shortage?
they're totally telling the truth. example:
- i went to my local Safeway grocery. no 360's there.
- went to McDonald's. no 360's there either.
- i even went to my local gynecologist. he said he had no clue when he'd be getting a new shipment in.
see? totally not available any where!
huh? what about the stack of them at BestBuy, GameStop, or ToysRUs? who goes there to buy games anyways. probably just empty boxes...
;)

SSD:HD is a remake of the Amiga title "Super Stardust", so yes, I DID in fact know this.
Robotron is often credited as the originator or these types of dual-stick shooters, so just because SSD:HD is based on an "old" game, doesn't make it original.
The fact remains that Mein's perception that there are too many "top down shooters" on PSN is FUD considering they are actually in the minority of games when it comes to gameplay types.
According to Wiki and most commonly held definitions, "trolling" means:
"An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion."
Considering that I wasn't the one to post anything other than truthful facts in contrary to Mein's baiting FUD about the games on PSN, that'd make him / her the troll.
Geez - Mein can't even get the definition of "internet troll" correct, what makes you think he / she is correct about anything else?

Guess you haven't seen / played Pixel Junk Monsters, Eden, echochrome, HVBowling, PAIN, Wipeout HD, heck, even the Go! Sports games (while not the greatest) weren't top-down shooters.

Before running your mouth off about stuff you obviously know nothing about, would you like to buy a clue for next time? It seems you don't have one and I have a few to spare...
;)

First of all, it's Star"DUST".
Second, SSD:HD didn't invent that type of gameplay, it just made it prettier and more frantic.
Third, more of that type gameplay is a good thing if done right.

As for the game itself, even if it's half as good as SSD:HD, it'll be twice as good as most of the other games out there with that kinda gameplay. Sign me up.

If you've ever read the PlayStation blog, Gamesblow is nothing more than a professional troll who has nothing better to do than bash Sony while professing to be a fan boy.
Since when has "listening to trolls and fanboys" warranted anything more than the label of "baseless rumour"?

If you're having lag, have you tried adjusting the streaming settings? Perhaps your inner-web-tubes are clogged or you just have too much interference.

Don't forget Ghost Recon 2...
