IGN Hero Showdown: Sam Fisher vs. Solid Snake

From IGN:

"Battles rage here on IGN stars...After the conclusion of a hard-fought Hero Showdown between Link and Cloud, Hyrule's defender emerged victorious. Where do you go from an epic battle such as this? Well, staying in the world of games, we decided to get our hands considerably dirtier and visit a pair of gritty fellows who kill with precision and move in the shadows - namely Solid Snake and Sam Fisher, the heroes of Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell, respectively. It's time to see these two step out of the shadows and square off, so let's see what happens. You determine the winner...

So who will emerge from the shadows and triumph? Will it be Tom Clancy's poster boy with the tri-glow visor or the silent but deadly Silent Snake? This time, console loyalty is out the window. Will it be yet another popularity contest or will voters take each fighter's strengths into account..."

after playing both all i can say is that people get attached to Snake, people talk about great moments in ever metal gear games and stuff about what snake does... thats not the case about splintercell's Sam. it's almost like he's just some mindless killer on a mission, nothing memorable. and that just proves it. splinter cell is a newbie on the block. and Snake with MGS is the top dog of the block. you see him and move out of his way.. that being said this contest should never even have happen because, we know that this will only flame and war. but the fact is there,

everyone wants MGS4 and nobody is even giving a damn about splinter cell: conviction. even though that game looks good.

Sam fisher just doesn't have that iconic flair and charisma that snake deliver in all his games

Downplaying every rendition of elves over a period of 70+ years? What kind of headline is that?

That and they're not that great. =_=; Game's too short to really get to know them.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
