Guides of Summer: PlayStation 2
July 27, 2004 - When it comes to getting through tough games, we're just like you—we hate losing and breaking controllers in frustration, and love kicking massive amounts of video game ass. We've played and conquered this summer's best games and live to tell about it in IGN Guides' complete online strategy guides, each packed with in-depth walkthroughs, advance strategies and tips, and all the secrets and cheats known to man, woman, halfback, adventurer, etc.
Front Mission 4 Ships
June 15, 2004 - Square Enix announced today that Front Mission 4 has shipped to retailers throughout North America.
Front Mission 4
May 31, 2004 - In the future, mankind will teach its armies to pilot bipedal, mechanized war machines known as Wanzers. These Wanzers will be used to very carefully and very slowly combat enemies. Front Mission kicks off with a bang of a lie. A superbly done opening cinematic details the impressive speed and lethality of the Wanzers. They swoop into a city unimpeded and demolish anything unlucky enough to be caught in their destructive wake of missiles, melee pikes, and machineguns. Following this tantalizing glimpse into an advanced future, the actual game begins. You might experience this kind of proposed excitement in the following play provided you're first willing to put up with an initial five hours that's so tedious and plodding it nearly ruins the entire experience.
Square Enix: E3 2004 Booth Report
May 13, 2004 - Welcome to IGN Insider's 2004 E3 booth reports. We deliver you all the details you want in a easy to read brief. So, what are you waiting for? This is the easiest way to get inside E3 2004! Here's a small snap shot of the Square Enix booth. Just add lights, cameras, deafening music, and lots of busty Top Model wannabes wanting action and you're practically at the expo; read about Square Enix's booth here.
E3 2004: Front Mission 4 - Progress Report
May 10, 2004 - Following a trailer for one of the most anticipated RPGs is tough work, even for Front Mission director/producer Toshiro Tsuchida. The man behind Front Mission had the dubious task of introducing the first Front Mission title on the PS2 after Final Fantasy XII was shown, but did a terrific job of speaking on the new features of the game and introducing the basic storyline of the title.
Pre-E3 2004: Square Enix E3 Lineup
May 3, 2004 - Square Enix USA today announced their official line-up of showcase titles for E3 2004. In just a bit more than a week, we'll be seeing these titles from the techno-pounded glitzy floors of the biggest gaming event of the year.
Front Mission 4
April 26, 2004 - While the Square-Enix super entity may be primarily known for going on never-ending Final Fantasies and Dragon Quests, several other titles are often thrown into their uber-recognizable mix, and often with reactions that range from raucous applause to angered grimaces (like the kind that gargantuan piece of Bouncer crap created). Between the extremely bad and the extremely Final Fantasy, Square-Enix also has a lovely little franchise in Front Mission. In the near future, like all good near sci-fi futures, mankind uses enormous bipedal tanks to do battle. These Wanzers are fast, heavily armed, heavily armored, and extremely large. Yes, they're called Wanzers -- you can thank FASA for trademarking "mech" and causing the VTs, Gears, Hercs and other miscellaneous "we're not mechs" of the world to pop up out of the ground -- but they're still cool and tough, as bipedal tanks should be.
More Front Mission 4 Media

New Front Mission 4 Screens
February 23, 2004 - To celebrate its announcement that Front Mission 4 would be coming stateside this June, Square Enix has released a couple of brand new screenshots taken from the English version of the game.

Square Enix Announces Two
February 23, 2004 - One of the most frequent questions we get on the IGN message boards and in our mailbag is "Why Star Ocean 3 is taking so long to make it North America?" And while there's been plenty of speculation as to why that is, Square Enix went ahead and made things official today when it announced the exact reason why -- Americans are getting the special Director's Cut version recently released in Japanese stores near the end of last month.

Front Mission 4, the first PS2 entry in the series, just arrived to anxious fans in Japan, and we picked up the game to see what the fuss is all about.

December 18, 2003 - The next entry in Square Enix's cult favorite mech combat simulation series Front Mission has arrived to Japan.

ELUSIVE WARRIOR is a standing dish at this track and Alan McCabe's charge can boast no less than nine victories over C&D.

Was it his/her personality, looks or the way they asked you out?
Most Helpful Girl
Definitely his personality, though his looks didn't hurt at all. His sense of humor was what really got me. We pretty much teased each other whenever we were together and it was a lot of fun to talk to him. All of that is still true today...though I guess there is somewhat less teasing now00|00|0

Aston Villa's new owner Tony Xia has revealed that he plans to get the Midlands club to the top of England's pyramid in four-years time.
In a response from a fan asking where Xia thinks Villa will be in five years, the chairman replied on his personal Twitter account that he plans to make the club "great".
Get back -stay -stay top-become great. https://t.co/E766EP2kcI
— Dr. Tony Xia (@Dr_TonyXia) July 26, 2016
The Chinese businessman is targeting an immediate return to the top-flight before two years of consolidation in the Premier League, when he then plans on taking the Villa Park club to the summit.
The Midlands outfit finished sixth in the Premier League for three seasons in a row between the years of 2008 and 2010, but after a number of years of turmoil at Aston Villa, which saw Alex McLeish, Paul Lambert and Remi Garde all struggle in charge of the club club, the top-flight mainstays eventually suffered relegation to the Championship.
However, the sun seems to once again be shining on the club based in Birmingham after Xia took over from former owner Randy Lerner this summer.
The business tycoon was quick to give former Chelsea boss Roberto di Matteo the management reigns and the club have also brought in Tommy Elphick from Bournemouth, young goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini and bright prospect Aaron Tshibola.
There will be a lot of optimism from Villa fans for the first time in a number of years, as they look to regain their place in the Premier League.
In other Aston Villa news, Sunderland have ended their pursuit of Villa defender Micah Richards.

Globally, product placement is a multimillion-dollar business for advertising agencies and placement companies. Placement companies, though, have not really gained stronghold in India as of now. However, product placement seems well poised to grow in India now, and with it we just might see the mushrooming of these companies — exactly the way, we are today witnessing the arrival of companies and divisions handling non-traditional media investment and celebrity management.
As per Atul Phadnis, TAM, rising clutter on television, falling viewership during ad breaks and skyrocketing media costs have led the advertisers to explore other options on television, and most important of them is in-programme product placements. In the day and time, when product placement is gaining in proportion even in Indian market, measurement of product placements on television programmes would increasingly become more and more desirable. Clutter bursting is the name of the game.
As per TAM, in 1994, 3090 brands advertised on TV, now the number has increased to 10914. And, as far as the numbers of commercials are concerned, they have increased by 3229% in that duration, while on the other hand, 19% people desert a channel in ad break.
Talking of methodology to monitor and measure in-product placements, TAM states that minute-by-minute information is captured and each brand exposure is labelled. All the brand exposures are then screened through a nine-cell matrix to identify the prominence levels. Algorithms have been developed that determine the prominence levels considering parameters such as number of cells occupied, position of the cells occupied, angle of exposure and so on.
What is most interesting perhaps is the marriage of people meter data and Adex data to find out the ratings of these product placements. These can then be compared with in-break TV commercials. However, Phadnis cautions, "GRPs delivered through TV commercials are more effective as TV commercials have an emotional or rational message. Non-TVC brand exposures expose only the product and so Non-TVC GRPS are considered to be lesser in terms of their effectiveness."
But as per Phadnis, the GRPs derived from product placement can be down weighted with visibility factors so as to make them comparable to GRPs delivered from ads. Talking of the programming genres that have maximum in-product placement, cricket provides the maximum number of 19 platforms, while events provide only six. However, while cricket gives exposure for 30 minutes per hour, in events it is as high as 41 minutes.
TAM research also states that if we look at product placement versus commercials, in case of background placement, conversion is 20%. And, if there is verbal mentioning of the brand and its hands on, the conversion is 100%, while in case of product-centred programming, it is as much as 150%. Hence, what is important is not only placing the product in a programme but also placing it in the right way so that it gets good RoI.
The new analysis, as per the TAM, tries to provide researchers with the quantitative ability to monitor and measure product placement. It can help in monitoring product exposures for accountability, to measure RoI on product placements, to track prominence levels and hence selection of various platforms, decisions on selecting genres of programming, on-screen versus on-ground decisions.
Language in which in-programme placement has been done plays a very important role – TV commercials changed from English to Hindi and other regional languages realising the importance of talking to people in their own language. Going by the logic that a product placement where the product is mentioned and is hands on, the impact is higher and talking to people in their own language adds weight to communication — placing a product in language serial where one of the protagonists uses it would create better impact than placing a product in a cricket match or an event.
As reported earlier, TAM India's paper on Product Placement had been selected as the best paper amongst the 22 papers presented from across the Asia Pacific region in this year's ESOMAR summit. The paper was titled Evaluating Soft Brand Advertising on Television and it was a joint effort from two of TAM's divisions - ADEX India & the S-Group.
