1.5? Wow... that's realllllyyy low lol!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and make a prediction for the Lair review next issue. Scores inbetween 6.0 and 7.0 is my guess, pros as technical wonder, great draw with dragons in games, moderately new type of story for games with some iffy gameplay as a drawback.

Just a guess! Nothing more.

EA looking to get MLB and NBA license.

Didn't they already try that with the NBA and they told them no? Plus NBA Live has sucked complete ass for pretty much ever. NBA 2K is way better and if this happens it's going to be like madden, except nobody will buy Live because regardless it sucks.

Live will sell regardless if it sucks. Unless it sucks that it's just so sucky that you can't possibly suck anymore, then it won't sell. But it probably will suck, but not that badly suck, so it will still sell.

But yes... 2K is sooo much better.

I guess that is true but Live 07 got a review of like 4/10. That is almost as bad as you can suck. Well seeing as hardly anyone gives out 1's anymore.

So they're insinuating the August issue will have details on more than one SC?

Awesome.

SCIV on PS3/360 with Dante/Hayabusa as bonus characters plz. Hell, they could both be in both versions since their respective games are no longer platform exclusive.

Along with Soul Calibur Legends, Wii should get a port of SCIII: Arcade Edition with the balance and glitch fixes over the PS2 version.

And I remember rumors about SCIII PSP, but I'd prefer an updated port of Soul Calibur 1 DC. It's the best SC with regards to character balance, and it'll be an easier game for the PSP to handle graphically.

I don't know. I don't have the mag in my hands. I found this informations on NeoGAF.

Edit: A brief comment:

The Good: Most polished, value-added version to date.
The Bad: Feels a tad antiquated and glitchy.
Ridiculously Sexy: Rachel's idle animation.

There's a game right up there that got 1.5 lol ;)

But ya, 1s are uber rare. 4 is almost bad enough, but somehow... the 4 does nothing lol, and it still sells lol, crazy Live...

Hmmmm, what is this? lol :P
