The game really isn't graphically intensive but rather processor intensive due to the physics. I had a min spec CPU but with a video card that was pretty good at the time (Radeon 4870). Obviously, whenever something wasn't blowing up or falling apart, the game ran great. Knock down a tower, it becomes a slide show. I still enjoyed the game though.

What CPU did you guys run the game with?

Even then, you can easily see his thumbs not moving as he's "playing."

Hopefully they won't gimp the Wii and PS2 versions as they did with the first Rock Band.

Guitar Hero: World Tour shows that having a complete Rock Band experience is possible on the Wii, so let's see Harmonix up the ante.

Grunts. At least I know I'll win.

343 Guilty Spark.

I don't know about you guys, but trying to hurt some insane AI flying in a metal ball would drive me nuts. Plus, he can teleport...

The Flood. Punching something gooey that can also take over your body just gives me the creeps.

Just because you have the money to buy good developers doesn't mean you'll always get good games from those developers. Of course many would immediately think of Rare, but Rare was already going downhill after the N64. I meant that huge hopping spree Microsoft went on buying out numerous small developers. Sure, they pumped out games for the XBox, but were any of them good?

This rumor was most likely started when Capcom showed their release list that included a number of XBox 360 games. But as 20XX and BPMΩ mentioned, this is similar to when Capcom was releasing their number of games to the GameCube.

You also have to consider that it'll be difficult for the buy-out to get support, assuming it isn't a hostile takeover.

The Japanese are known to be very protective of their own companies, and no doubt would try and oppose some sort of proposed buyout. It made huge news that the new Sony CEO would be someone who wasn't Japanese. And of course there were many, many people (and workers) who opposed that decision.

Man, I've never seen so many flawed and incorrect logic in comments before.

Anyways, I'm not going to go in-depth with finances here, but it's pretty logical. Just because Microsoft is rich and can easily take the losses from the XBox doesn't mean it can ignore it. The XBox division has lost over $4 billion dollars since the original XBox was released. That's a lot of money. That's also a lot of money that's not going to investors. And that makes investors unhappy. Not to mention management. Sure, Microsoft can last longer in the game industry with losses than Sega or Atari, but they'll pull out if they can't make any profit in continuing generations. It's just not smart to keep remain in a business if the only thing you can do is incur losses.

I find it irritating when people like "Dimitri" complain of getting kicked off because they think they can say what they want because of the 1st Amendment on an MMORPG or whatever game. What they don't realize is that they gave up some of those rights when they clicked on "I Agree" from the EULA when they installed or started to play the game.
