Join Myarcadeplanet.com as they delve deep into what makes Fanboys tick.
"Fanboy [fan-boi] (n) Technocratic zealots; evangelicals of geekery. Characterized by irrational advocacy of a particular OS, console, company, or franchise.
Console fanboys don't realize that Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo all create both good and bad products."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Just what N4G needs a guide to fanboys, a very interesting read by the way
Don't forget to click on all the pictures... they link to fairly entertaining youtube movies.
Nintendo makes bad products? Oh, yeah, Virtual Boy. Actually, what you consider good and bad products could make a company make only good or bad products in your mind without any bias. I don't consider the 360 a good product, because of the high failure rate it had, and I don't have any interest at all in most of their games (like Halo), so, to me, MS doesn't make a good product if we look only at gaming.
But someone else may look at the power of the 360 and love it, and like their games, and think Microsoft doesn't make bad products.
Capcom rarely makes a game I don't enjoy, so I would say they're on the other end for me.
Saying all companies make good and bad products is really misleading, because different people have different ideas of "good" and "bad."
Anyway, this was a good read. I can see where it all comes from, and maybe I like almost all Capcom games because I loved Mega Man? There's some food for thought for me...hmm....
I love Sony's products, but as a company they have done some things that have made many consumers feel cheated or misled, one such example being the marketing and promises behind the PS3. However, I am always loyal to the Playstation Brand and have stuck with it since '96. Microsoft has had some shady and underhanded business practices and has never made the most reliable products, but I still think the 360 is a good system and there are actually some games coming out for it that I am highly anticipating. I can't really see much in the way of Nintendo screwing up, although I don't really care for the casual direction they are taking the Wii; I feel like the Wii needs a substantial game library with titles that equate to more than just casual minigames or short gaming sessions. At least i'm glad to see that will improve soon starting with Metroid Prime 3.
edit: glad to see the rabid fanboys disagreeing with my balanced opinion! Good job living up to your asshat title, guys! It would be nice to at least get an explanation as to why people disagree around here, as I always try to back up my choice. But I guess giving phantom fanboys any sort of credit is a mistake...
that video was funny.
