Dear LucasArts,

No one but BioWare should develop Star Wars games ever again. kthxlolz!

Sincerely,

Concerned Gamer

Somehow I doubt LucasArts will license out to EA.

P.S. Is Spartan still working for Rare?

All I can say is that I am now addicted to Tiger Woods, and that has not happened with a Tiger Woods game with me for quite some time. I have played the series since the beginning, and now maybe it is because I am older (LOL) and not much has come out, but I am addicted to ranking my players skills up. Also the whole new way of playing online while everyone else can go was GENIUS, makes it so much more damn fun.

I know me though, and I can be addicted to a game like this one today, and be done with it by next week, lets just hope that does not happen. But I literally went out and bought the full retail game after a weekend playing with my brother in law, and I am a member of Gamefly (rental service for video games) so I personally have not paid full retail price for a game since MGS4, but this game made me go out and do it.

Gamespot clocked in at 8.5 for Viva Pinata - http://us.gamespot.com/xbox360/strategy/vi...mp;subj=6197035

The Good

* Great rewards system

* Pinatas are super cute

* Tons of depth and replay value

* Cooperative mode helps ease inexperienced players into the game

* Very impressive visuals, both technically and artistically.

The Bad

* The same basic game as the original

* Voice acting is terrible.

yeah i agree, i am addicted to tiger woods 09. I am just addicted to getting my guy better and better. Being able to crank the ball 30-40 yards more then Tiger makes me soooo happy.

You know the state of gaming is craptacular when titles like that win "awards"

Why? Because they don't appeal to you, they shouldn't appeal to anyone at all?

Right...

8.5 for VP2 (Y), my copy is on it's way. Can't wait to play, I've not had anything new to play for months.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
