Am I the only one to find it ironic that the highest rated PS3 game on metacritic so far is a multiplatform?

I mean multiplatforms for sony fanboys is like garlic, silver bullets and wood cross for vampires...

Imagine garlic as the highest rated food in a vampire magazine...

EDIT:

Also found it ironic that the Xbox 360 had 69 released games and the PS3 have 57... Now everyone (inclusive me) knows that PS3 got more exclusive, then how the hell is this possible?

KingJFS5046d ago

45 multiplatform games appeared on both systems in the first half of 2010.

Nicely said. Don't worry if you get disagrees, fanboys get hurt easily. :)

SwiderMan5046d ago

PS3 has BETTER exclusives as of late.

KingJFS5046d ago

True, but the numbers don't lie. So everyone disagreeing can, in the words of everyone's favorite cartoon robot, bite my shiny metal ass.

jneul5046d ago

oddly enough that game has the highest rated game on x360 as well....
still I think it's overated and uncharted 2 is much better in my view, definately the best game so far in this generation, alongside with GOW III and Heavy Rain, to be honest more better quality exclusives have come out for PS3 this year so, sony does quantity and quality, that is something which the 360 is not doing right now as to be honest the only game worth getting that is exclusive was ME2 and that you can play on PC.

Michael-Jackson5046d ago (Edited 5046d ago )

And a good year it's been so far.

ME2 has currently got 94 for pc on metacritic.Even its dlc Overlord got 86.How can these brainless kiddies call them reporters?A complete disgrace!N4G should filter these bullsh*t sites which cannot do a simple search on metacritic.

Xeoset5046d ago

Bubbles for common sense.

I didn't realise this many good games had been announced. It's a habit of thinking when Naughty Dog or Insomniac don't release a game, it's a rubbish year for gaming. However, how much I am mistaken, I still haven't played GoW3 (despite being an utter Kratos fanboy), ME2, Mario Galaxy 2 (let alone 1), No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle, Alan Wake, Bioshock 2 or Modnation Racers. I still want to play Dark Void too.

Looks like a lot of ex-rental/secondhand catching up for me to do.

Still, next year is going to be incredible; Infamous 2, Killzone 3, Rage and Bulletstorm.

jetlian5046d ago

mass effect 2 is highest game on meta with 96 on 360

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Knightofelemia2h ago

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.

I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
