I think maybe if Ninja Gaiden 2 had a more of a intruiging story and more memorable game characters that it would have been more interesting to play, but Itagaki is one of those guys that favors gameplay over storytelling, but why not make a game that has awesome gameplay with a awesome story to go along with it?

With so many games looking and playing similar to each other now-a-days, I honestly think that the story in a game can make a game or break it. When you compare Splinter ...

Playstation The Official Magazine gave Metal Gear Solid 4 a 5/5, and that review score sure isn't fake becaue I'm looking at the magazine article with the review score right now.

Also, the editor in chief of Playstation The Official Magazine Rob Smith said that he played through the game 2 different times. The first time he played through it, it wasn't as close to the final build of the game, but the 2nd time he played through it, MGS4 was pretty much at the final build.

I'm subscribed to EGM and I was actually looking forward to seeing what they would score the game, but it doesn't matter because MGS4 has already gotten very good reviews.

I think that Konami probably thinks that reviewers might mark down MGS4's review score by a little bit if they mention things like Game Installs or Long Cutscenes, but a die-hard MGS fan like me doesn't give a flip about game installs or lenghty cut scenes. And I guess that Konami thinks that people new to th...

I agree that the Xbox 360 isn't dead, but I definantly am starting to feel that the Xbox 360's momentum is slowing down a bit.

Personally I think that Gears 2 will be the 360's last big push for a LONG while and I think that it's safe to make that assumption. Alan Wake has plenty of potential for 2009 and so does Splinter Cell Conviction and Halo Wars.

The fact that Microsoft will have already pretty much released most their "system seller" games titles...

The last time I checked, Mirror's edge was listed on Gamestop for a November release. Either way, I doubt that Mirrors Edge is releasing in June.

Plus, Releasing Mirror's Edge in June wouldn't be a smart idea anyways because of other games that would definantly give it too much competition( Ninja Gaiden 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, etc...) and the game would probably get overlooked. A Mirror's Edge trailer was released not too long ago and there's no way that the actual game is being...

Well, 3rd party developers really can't make the game that they want to make because the Wii is so limited in hardware and processing power, so they just push out shovelware because they know that casual gamers will buy it.

But when you look at Nintendo's history in gaming, the majority of the really great games were games published/developed by Nintendo and this is the case with the Wii because almost all the games published and developed by Nintendo for the Wii are big hits a...

As long as Sony gets out the PS3 Exclusives, I'm happy. Sony's success against the Xbox 360 has nothing to do with the PSN. The PS2 100 million+ installbase will determine the Playstation 3's success and big AAA PS3 exclusive upcoming games will determine the PS3's success.

I know that Sony will get the PSN in very good shape, but until then, give me the PS3 exclusives Sony and I'll wait for other additions to the PSN for as long as it takes.

Well, that girl sure looked a heck of a lot better in the picture at the bottom of the page with the article.

.... If that girl had a Kim Kardashian body she would be irresitable.... damn, I sure would love to be Reggie Bush right now.

I wonder how many true Nintendo gamers have already bought the Wii... probably all of them. I guess the majoirty of people still buying the Wii's are Women and Children... I would have been more interested in the Wii if it was an H...

So I guess that's how Microsoft makes so much money and sells so many consoles that it hasn't really sold. I bet the majority of Xbox 360 consoles sold are just the same Xbox 360 owners rebuying Xbox 360's with newer chips in them that have better reliability and the same thing will be happening once Microsoft introduces the Jasper chips this Fall, tisk, tisk, tisk. If only Microsoft took their time to make a good console. Microsoft is still trying to figure out how to make there console more...

I think that I have to agree somewhat. The game that has the better storyline will be the best overrall and will be the most memorable. Both games will have nice gameplay. In this day and age where shooters are just pretty much the same, the story/plot and characters is really the only thing that can diversify it from anything else.

Resistance Fall of Man does have a very solid story and is very interesting and the majority of First Person shooters or just shooters in general f...

I wonder if there will ever be an RPG franchise to possibly equal Final Fantasy's success. I think that the Kingdom Hearts series will be the next major RPG series once Final Fantasy ends ( if it ever ends!!) and I didn't know that Fable 2 had been in the making for this long.

There will never be a Sony/Microsoft joint console released and it's that simple. Each company has their own specific goals that they want to accomplish.

In my opinion, Microsoft is a company that isn't very risk taking and plays it safe. In my view Sony is a company that actually tasks risks and is more innovative. Microsoft would have never designed the Xbox 360 with a Cell Processor or built in Blu-ray unless someone paid them to do it.

The fact that the PS3 h...

Edge magazine sounds like another GameSpot right now to me.

I don't need Edge magazine to tell me what kind of game MGS4 is because I already know that it's a 10/10 game and it's one of the best games coming out the entire year. MGS4 has gotten numerous 10/10 and 9.0+ scores, and MGS4 is perfection. I'm getting MGS4 on the day of release. Edge magazine is just jealous that it's not coming to the Xbox 360. Sorry Edge magazine but the 360 wasn't meant to have every game.

I can't believe that this game got a 7.5/10. BLACK was one of the best shooters I ever played on the PS2 and that game had some of the best graphics in a PS2 game at that time. But I do remember that BLACK was only a Single Player game and there was no Online, so maybe that's why it got a low score... also Black was pretty short too, there was only like 7 or 8 levels, but it still was a good game. I can't even remember how many times I've played that game over and over again.

I...

Just because it was easy to pre-order the bundle, it doesn't mean that it wasn't as rare as previously thought, it just means that Konami has gotten there act together and has stepped up there servers for high traffic. On the Japanese Konami store, they sold out of the Limited Edition 40GB PS3 MGS4 bundles within a few days, but I think that it's safe to say that Konami has provided the U.S. with more bundles than Japan most likely due to the fact that the Gaming market is larger in the U.S.....

I'm looking forward to all of the PS3's exclusives left for this year except for maybe Socom Confrontation because it will be an Online Only game and I need a Single Player Campaign in a game in order for me to buy it.

The only 3rd party game that I'm looking forward too right now on the PS3 is Dead Space and Bioshock, but other than that, I'm buying PS3 Exclusives for the rest of the year. I was thinking about getting Fallout 3 too, but my mind isn't totally made up about gett...

I honestly think that it's VERY possible for the PS3 to overtake the Xbox 360 in 2009 and here are the reasons why I think so:

1. The PS3 has outsold the Xbox 360 several times in the U.S. even though it's more expensive and the PS3 is selling better worldwide than the Xbox 360 right now even though it's more expensive.

2. Blockbuster game titles. In 2009 the PS3 has a stronger lineup of Blockbuster AAA Exclusive game titles and the Xbox 360's Exclusive lineup fo...

What the heck?! That really doesn't make sense for a Xbox 360 demo to release in Japan and not the U.S., I mean, Xbox 360 owners in Japan are VERY scarce.

The only reason why Xbox 360 owners in Japan may buy NG2 is because Itagaki is Japanese and it's his game, but the first Ninja Gaiden game on the Xbox wasn't a hit in Japan and I doubt the NG2 will be.

I think that Mass Effect will come to the PS3 now that EA has acquired Bioware, and I also think that the PS3 will get Ace Combat 6, and if not, I'm pretty sure that the PS3 will get the next installment of Ace Combat, I mean, the Ace Combat series was ALWAYS on the Playstation consoles and I'm almost certain that it will make it's way to the PS3.

I'm also thinking that the PS3 might get Dead Rising as well, but I doubt Gears of War will come to the PS3. I've heard something ab...
