well... screenshots don't always give people an accurate picture, its like taking a sentence of a book out of context. i could run to the an obscure corner or a map in any game, stand 3 inches from a wall, take a pixelated screenshot, and claim that the graphics are "unimpressive". but once the game is in motion, its really clear to see if the graphics are impressive or not. if you arent impressed with all the footage shown so far then i really dont have any idea why your gaming,...

actually, if you read the article, it comments on the double standard that game reviews have for killzone2. basically its being nitpicked to death for things that would otherwise be overlooked had it not been killzone.

no coop -> cod4
nothing innovative -> gears2/halo
no story -> ALL shooters ever.
graphical issues (that dont really exist?) -> EVERY game ever.

for being the "best looking game made thus far" hes wondering why i...

the graphics of gears2 looking better than kz2? ok, so honestly i havent played eitehr, but i mean... you and whoever posted that comment on GT must be two of a kind, because it seems like you guys are the ONLY two people who see it that way.

i mean, the only argument that you have is that the texture work is slightly better on gears, which only attest to part of the graphical package, including lighting, effects, and physics. and to top it off, gears is a tps, so by design the...

totally agreed on most of the points..

i can understand that a lot of hardcore re4 fans want to keep it the same as b4, but stopping to attack just does not work in this current generation. this holds ESPECIALLY true when it comes to melee combat, i found it incredibly stupid that you cant move while using the knife. its ridiculous that you have to wait for them to come to you. i disagree with the ammo being scarce, because that adds to the tension, and would be effective if u...

whoops been out of town for the weekend so i couldnt respond to your comments.

i knew that id strike a chord with some of the halo fans out there. dont get me wrong, im not ragging on halo, im just saying that aside from the hardcore halo fans, i think that most people have accepted that cod4 has redefined the genre past what halo has done so far.

as far as number of people playing halo vs cod4, one must remember that there are more people that own halo vs cod4. on...

should be noted that that list only lists 30 minutes of commercials. i mean, the superbowl is like 4 hours long... its not 3.5 hours of ACTUAL football. perhaps im being a bit too optimistic, but i mean, common sense dictates that there have got to be commercials that are going to air other than the ones listed; it only makes sense.

dont get me wrong, i didnt think they were going to air the other one that hhg posted yesterday, but i mean, can we really rule the possibility out...

regardless of who sold more, its pretty much accepted by everyone that cod4 has taken anything and everything halo has brought to the table and improved it. i think its widely accepted that cod4 is just a better, more entertaining, more complete game than any of the halos.

although im sure to get some disagrees from the halo following

i used to get pissed off about not getting dlc, being a ps3 only owner, especially because we didnt get the fallout3 dlc. but after seeing the impressions about the first fallout dlc, i have concluded that dlc is nothing more than a cheap marketing scam aimed at making people purchase the 360 version of the game. i was excited to hear that mirrors edge was getting ps3 exclusive content, but that has ended up to be pretty insignificant, similar to pretty much any and all dlc that has release...

my problem with re5, from what ive seen in the vids, is that the zombies dont act realistically and are made that way in order to accommodate the clunky control scheme. there are obvious parts were zombies are running full speed at you, only to stop, and mindlessly limp toward you. why the hell would they do that?! i mean, they are obviously capable of running, but if they were to do that, players would have no chance at survival with the clunky run, stop, aim controls. the zombies just k...

dont get me wrong, i dont think kz2 will do halo numbers but its stupid fanboys like you that make me hope that it will, just to shut you guys up.

its utterly irritating how closed minded you halo fanboys really are. i mean halo is a decent franchise, and although i dont like their games for my own reasons (vehicles, gameplay), i cannot deny that it is a successful franchise. why do all halo fans think that it is the end all of the gaming industry? in your minds NOTHING can ev...

its funny how when ps3 first dropped, all the xbox fanboys screamed "no games! no games!" at the ps3. now that a year of two has gone by, the ps3 fans are screaming "no games! no games!" at the xbox fans. just thought that it was amusing to see how the tides turn.

just my little rant, im sure not one is even going to see it here on the 2nd or 3rd page.

dont forget apple.

or the entire flop that is vista.

or that firefox has dethroned ie as the browser of choice.

really, the gaming division seems to be the only sector that seems to be doing remotely well for ms. well, i suppose they are making money off of the licensing of vista, but we all know it is garbage.

i dont really know how you are backing those statements, but it seems to me that the original argument was that SONY is getting all the games (first party), and that 360 is being left out in the cold by ms developers.

granted, ms has slightly more 3rd party support than sony, i doubt that the titles ps3 owners are missing out on are even remotely close to the ps3 exclusives that are coming out.

so in response to your comment, i believe that although the 360 is gettin...

wow long time since my last post

but im going to come out of hiding to say that this list is a goddam joke. seriously? wheelman? i havent even heard of that game. perhaps a bit of nostalgia hit them with punchout, but i mean...cmon. and ffxiii has been confirmed to release in 2010 in us and eu, so unless this is japanese msnbc, they need to get their facts straight. and yes, kz2 def should be up there somewhere, if not first, in my, and most people opinions, at least.

i believe that they are releasing star ocean 4 in feb as well, am i not right? so technically its 3v1, but that could prove to be problematic for ms in the end, as it has a good chance to splitting up the sales of all 3 of those exclusives. but it seems like they have a "xbox games vs ps3 games sold" mentality, which in my opinion, is stupid. but im not a huge multibillion dollar corporation, so who am i to judge.

now i agree that lbp and kodu shouldnt be compared

but you seem a bit overzealous against lbp. the lbp editor is pretty amazing, if you take the time to actually create something. but to me it does seem that these editors serve different functions. in lbp you are merely making levels, not games. however, i do find it admirable that you can make huge machines in lbp from scratch, such as the final boss of the game, or metal gear rex. i mean, i could be wrong, but from what i ...

circle for crouch is a horrible idea. i dont really know if thats the way that they do it in previous console fps, as i am more accustomed to pc shooters, but if thats the case then they have it completely wrong. putting crouch on circle is just dumb, imo. one cannot hold circle and move and aim at the same time. this would force crouching to be a toggled action. i HATE toggled actions, and imo, people who use it are inadvertently handicapping themselves against everyone else.

in my opinion, split screen multiplayer games are becoming a thing of the past. games are becoming too intensive both graphically and quantitatively to make split screen gaming a viable option. look at all the recent attempts: l4d, r2, re5. all of them make huge sacrifices to make splitscreen gaming possible. l4d and r2 look noticably worse when playing split screen, and re5 has been said to reduce the screen sizes to pretty tiny. its a shame, because gaming sometimes is more fun with ...

glad i could give some insight on the game. i hope i didnt hype it up too much, though, i just found the game really fun. oh, and the mgs pack is amazing. pick that one up if you get lbp. its sweet.

this does seem like a hallow victory, i mean, do they even sell wii sports alone without the wii? assuming that they dont even sell a wii without the game, the attach rate of that game to the console is going to be 1:1. no game has ever done that, or ever will.

i honestly dont think that wii sports should count... its just so... i dunno... cheap.
