"Over the past three years, we've seen what used to be a rather amicable ritual known as the "Console War", degenerate into a series of arguments fueled by review scores, sales data, back-biting, spite, sour grapes, and pretty much everything but a little thing called common sense and reasoning. You expect the fanboys to behave this way; it's in their nature, they're fanboys. Thing is, even the gaming media themselves have gotten swept up in this vitriol spewing debacle that is the current state of the "Console War."
One console over all others has been on the receiving end of so much of that media and gamer hate and bias, that it's no wonder when its sales numbers fail to match up to its nearest competition, let alone its predecessor! That console is, of course, the Playstation 3."

With the ninth mainline installment looming, it feels like the right moment to rank every mainline Resident Evil game from worst to best.
At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.
I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.
The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.
The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.
Original Saints Row design director Chris Stockman has declared the Saints Row franchise is "dead".
I just started this game last night, just the player creation had me upset. You choose male but they stand like a female. Eyebrows are all effeminate, face, and verything seems to be modeled after a female with a thin male overlay.
I only played the opening and didn’t even complete that before I turned the game off. I will likely go back and try it again, but a very weird first impression.
The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.
OMG Thank you! Never understood how people raved about Saints Row like it was GOATED.
Honestly Janky Generic feeling titles with Humor that tried to way too hard. People criticize Borderlands for its humor, but holy hell, still leagues better than any SR.
The second part of GTA BOOM's interview with Obbe Vermeij where they turn from origin stories to craft. Specifically, how early GTA games created the illusion of life, and why that illusion still matters more than brute-force simulation.
Sure it will get you hits
hits the nail on the head,360 has had so many passes from faulty hardware to broken games gettin ridicously high scores when will it end and people just be true honest gamers?
This site will get 50 people from N4G to visit it. Half of you aren't even reading it, but its saying the reality. There is no spin here. But as with newspapers, fabrications & truth stretching sells more papers than reporting that "well, there was really no news today"
Every point is true. People are still mad at sony for lying about kz2, in the face of KILLZONE2: The worlds most advanced gaming engine known to man, people would rather ignore that. And complain about the crouch button. And GG still has to mention the CGI trailer when interviewing.
Its too bad that more blogs dont dive into the history of the PS3 over its lifetime, and directly compared to the 360, its done well all-things-considered.
But yeah, enjoy this one guys.. but this is probably where it ends. The media has a hardon for the PS3 failing. Nothing you say or do is going to change this until SONY themselves actually decide to step up and speak for themselves, and start pointing these things out themselves. The Media is definitely not working in Sony's favor folks. But who's fault is that?
Definitely a well thought out article. The ps3 has been a laughing stock even before it saw it's release and the hate is still strong despite the fact that Sony and the ps3 have achieved alot since it's launch day. The 360 has gotten a ridiculous amount of passes when it come to hardware failure etc..etc but despite this fact the 360 has seen nothing but praise.
What sales whores refuse to take in is that in the same time frame the ps3 has sold more than the 360 in it's two years on the market. This of cause is not seen by the many American FUD filled articles. The days of Sony not having any games and 2007 arguments are long gone. The ps3 2009 line up is astonishing and PSN and HOME will continue to grow as will the PSN community.
Third party support is stronger than ever and will eventual stay that way the rest of this gen. Honestly i'm expecting to get another 8 years of unprecedented gaming entertainment from Sony and my ps3. Anyone who still doubts that the future is bright for the ps3 is in serious denial. I welcome all consoles and gaming platforms in general be cause without the competition, god knows what type of scummery these corporations will be dealing in.
