I think everybody was surprised at how WELL Demon's Souls sold. First of all, it was a miracle they localized it here, and on top of that Atlus underestimated the number of sales since I do believe they shipped less than it was demanded.

It is still an overlooked game and I wish Sony could advertise it. It really is a crown jewel to the PS3.

I think Warhawk would also make a good addition to this list. Eye of Judgment was really gimmicky, Warhawk used the SIXAXIS gim...

Did you beat the first boss yet? Ultimate satisfaction.

I suggest you play now because come Valentines Day they are making the game the highest possible difficulty :P

But wow, not the GoW killer that was once hoped by 360 fans.

I love the idea of a Bioshock-type underground cave.

Of course it will have to fit the setting of Demon's Souls.

In 4-2 (the world after the broken archstone) there is this scene where you come out of a cave and walk along a cliff overlooking a beach (with those flying sting rays). It was eerily beautiful and I would love a setting in nature, either in some creepy woods or near water.

The beach in Demon's Souls' 4-2 world was stunning and creepy, bodies ...

In all honesty, it's one of those RPGs you can take a little at a time if you wanted to. It has no real RPG-like story, but just a very haunting backdrop.

I suggest you pick it up, it's my 2009 GOTY :)

Pick it up and play it-- it will take you about 20 minutes to finally start your quest after you go through the character creation and tutorial, and then the short cutscene but after that you are free to continue the game at your own pace.

It also auto sav...

Funny enough, that also happens with the PS3 fanboys too-- they will trash negative reviews to the ground as if reviews stated objective facts about the game and as if it's impossible for MAG to get anything under a 7.

I did expect a more lower score from GT, but I can really care less about these guys anyway.

CQC has bee improved a lot since beta mainly due the controls being much more responsive.

As for knife kills, I first love how they actually take skill *cough* MW2 *cough*. I find myself missing a few of them because I'm so used to MW doing it for me.

But like anything else just look at the bottom of the screen to see if you've made the kill and most importantly use knife kills when you have to.

I find that knifing head on usually is much more dangerous ...

I would say that he is making a big deal out of PR talk.

Don't get me wrong, Sony has lied, exaggerated, etc. but in all honesty what does he expect from PR?

"Oh, the PS3 is great but we're not too confident... but hey buy our console anyway!"?

PR people are simply blabbering monkeys that manage to gather a sheep-like following of hardcore blind fanboys that eat all their words without question.

That doesn't mean you should lie tho...

I doubt most of what you say, but I'm open to MAG being more detailed-- however I strongly doubt it's "SOOO Much more detailed". Any proof? Give me some examples please?

Zipper can fix a good majority of the issues with patches:

-balancing issues
-bugs
-graphical enhancements (which they've already actually done)
-more modes and maps (DLC + additional free content bound to happen)
-animation enhancements (Happened in K2, it can happen here too if it's such a big deal)

As for a MAG 2, it will likely happen when they feel like they can add even more players into a match.

Though, I'm hoping for Socom...

The variety in a BF game is fantastic.

I did however like the beta much more than the demo:

-Arica Harbor is so much better than Port Valdez
-The demo is limited to one upgrade per class and no attachments

I can't wait for the final game.

Quite honestly the PSP's attempts at trying to go a little more casual and appealing to Apple's users is a mighty big attempt.

It's clear that Apple will continue to dominate the casual market. They do not care about buttons and would rather play on the iPhone.

minis are a good attempt at trying to get more indy and smaller devs to put their product on the market but the GO isn't doing THAT great, and I really do question the marketability of the $250 product.

Warhawk did it and that had less teamwork abilities than MAG. I was actually pretty shocked and I wonder why Sony hasn't done it yet.

They should have bundled it with the new slim PS3's too.

So that's two missed opportunities.

I strongly suggest for anyone and everybody to get the OFFICIAL PS3 mic, it is honestly the only mic you'll need and it's blutooth so you can even use it on other equipment. It's about $50-$60 unless you buy the Socom Bundle.

LOL wut?

It actually says that... maybe they were getting "You are biased!" hate mail?

I have to say, the community aspects are quite nice.

I think I would like a Dark World Tendency though-- when I started Demon's Souls it was when it was Light Tendency so things were a little easy for me.

ALSO, I hope they announce DLC soon.

I want to touch that broken archstone and enter that world of giants which easily sounds like the best one (Shadow of the Colossus bosses FTW).

Come on you guys, I know you have DLC tucked away!

Yeah, the thing with the PS3 fatty is that it's good for show, but not ideal to have around the home due to constant fingerprint and dust issues.

I clean it a lot but at the end of the day there's always dust visible on it.

I think the 360 looks poor in comparison but I definitely like the black Elite, though for some reason I like the white controller over the black one.

The Wii is sleek and tiny, and the original PS3 is slick but prone to dust and it's heavy. The PS3 slim to my amazement looks very nice too.

The 360 on the other hand looks ugly to me. The white dull finish with the blatant metallic top (HDD area I think).

Though I do think the controller is better than the PS3's, the hardware for MS looks a little outdated. I have a friend who has a 360 and the eject button is wobbly, etc. I love pressing the Powerr button though lo...

I'm not too excited for ModNation Racers, I find that LBP was a much better Play Create Share game, but I think I'll pick this one up for the split-screen local play which is bound to be so much fun.

I'm all for giving L5 another chance, but what I am upset about is the fact that they are now working on WKC2.

Personally, I find the whole game quite dull-sounding, but hopefully they can improve everything for #2.

My point is that Level 5 went from making such an engaging and attractive world to something that seems a lot more typical and expected.

My only complaint is that it wasn't Dark Cloud 3

:)

Seriously, it's like Level 5 was sucked of all the imaginative brilliancy with this game. It looks so bland and... "typical". Dark Cloud was such a beautifully crafted game.
