Kotor or Kotor 2?

In your opinion what game is better, Kotor or Kotor 2? I will vote for Kotor 2 as it has more depth and the ability to 'persuade' followers to the dark or light side. Plus the prestige classes rule

Max Payne going to the movies

Max Payne going to the moviesFox turning Remedy and Rockstar's gritty shooter into a proper film noir--no cast or director is yet attached.

It seems like hardly a week has gone by in 2005 without a movie studio scooping up the rights to a video game.

This week, it was Max Payne's turn. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that 20th Century Fox is bankrolling a film version of the gritty third-person shooter from Rockstar Games and Finnish developer Remedy. The studio has inked a deal with the production companies Collision Entertainment and Firm Films to produce the Payne adaptation, which had been previously linked to Dimension Films. Scott Faye (the upcoming The Reaper) and Julie Yorn (Formula 51) will produce the project, which currently has no cast, director, or release date.

Easily one of the most cinematic games of the last few years, Max Payne profiles the titular antihero, a modern-day New York undercover cop whose wife and baby daughter are brutally murdered. If that wasn't bad enough, Payne is also framed for a fellow cop's murder and becomes the subject of a massive manhunt by the police, the Mob, and a shadowy criminal organization. Besides sporting John Woo-style action and Matrix-esque bullet-time effects, the game also borrowed heavily from graphic novels, even using comic book-style storyboards in lieu of cutscenes.

Oblivion's massive world squeezes into one Xbox 360 DVD

Oblivion's massive world squeezes into one Xbox 360 DVD; squashes rumors of a potential four-disc set.

Immersion only goes so far when a game prompts users to insert another disc. The upcoming Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, once rumored to be featured on up to nine discs, will come on one standard Xbox 360 disc. The clarification was made by an employee of the game's developer, Bethesda Softworks, on the game's official forum. The Xbox 360 uses the current-generation DVD-9 as media, which can hold around 9GB of data. Microsoft recently announced that it will release a next-generation HD-DVD peripheral, but only for video playback

Carth Onasi vs. Canderous Ordo.

Carth Onasi vs. Canderous Ordo. I have contimplated this bout many a time and come up with......Canderous Ordo. Seeing as Carth is a republicĀ soldier he lacks the stomach to do certain jobs. Seeing as Canderous Ordo actually turns out to be Mandalore himself, i think this is too overwhelming for Carth. Yes Carth was a decerated war-hero but that is not match for leading an entire army of Mandalorians. What are your thoughts?
