Xbox.com “update”

Posted on March 28th, 2008 in IntEnt, Xbox 360 by dragonwyntir

I thought I might drop a quick note on the Xbox.com redesign.

The DLB frequently utilizes the term "meh", and I believe this is a great time for it.

So I finished the Lost videogame

It was so very bad.

So, a few notes (which I’m sure several people have made throughout the Internet):

– The framerate is UNACCEPTABLE.  Sometimes the game runs well, sometimes it runs like a slideshow.  Let me be crystal on this: THERE IS NOTHING GOING ON IN THIS GAME THAT NECESSITATES A BAD FRAMERATE.  It is running on a version of the GRAW engine, and there is literally almost no AI and very few control options.  Add to that some fairly restrictive level design (even though you are on an island) and visuals that don’t raise the bar (and in some cases lower it), and this is an embarrassment of technology implementation.

My thoroughly comprehensive review…

…of the beta release of Battlefield: Bad Company.  :)

First off, the graphics are quite lovely.  The day/night cycles are dynamic, and the area fog and sunlight effects are pretty dramatic.  Most of the board is dynamic, and can be blown up (more on that later), and the effects when blowing a wall out is always a sight.
