wow... so MAG for the PS3 returns to a point that I remember in 1999 when Delta Force was pushing the limit of online fps battles to 64.  The game got a decent review.  I think the main draw here is the novelty of playing in a 256 player match.  Looks pretty fun...

some days I really miss having a PS3.  That would definitely be my next console of choice.  For now, I am busying myself playing Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Wii.

yeah the ps3 is awesome... they operate as blu-ray players and media servers so it's really the most versatile system you can have.  this game MAG is interesting because it pushes the envelope of multiplayer connections.  it would be nice to see a rpg game with 256 online players... or any other genre for that matter.  with a standard like this the lines get blurred between MMO and your basic online experience

This sounds pretty freaking cool.  I wonder how bad the lag gets when a large number of folks are in close proximity.  I was in Gamestop yesterday trying to figure out what I'm gonna spend a $50 gift card on, something like this could grab the cash, but for now I'm waiting on God of War III, the new FF, or maybe something else.  Haven't decided yet.

The reviews said there was a little lag at points but that was also launch day... i'd imagine with each attempt at this 256 idea they'd get it better and better... 256 is a real nice number considering we play games with 4-8 all the time and think they're great right now.  This game got an 8/10 avg on metacritic so i may not even get this one... but it's exciting to think about the future possibilities. 

you have all the games lately... i'm not really interested in much else right now... maybe would get tatsunoko vs capcom used for a few cheaper... the only up-and-coming game i see that sounds rockin is Monster Hunter Tri for the Wii (April 20).
