Dirty politicians have been using payoff strategies for decades to stay ahead or to gain a lead, why would MS, be any different? Its an effective and arguably underhanded tactic but in the end its business.
MS wants to gain market share this generation, and the most direct way is to pump money into the process. Perhaps other companies do this too, but MS looks to be one of the most overt cases in a long time.
Is it better for the industry? Depends on what your outlook is. I coul...

What the HE!! is going on lately? When a game for the PS3 gets a bad review it gets a really low score, and when it gets a good review it get a really high one. Its almost like there are only people who love the PS3 or hate it, no in between. I guess the days of reviewing a game based on criteria that is subjective are gone. The thins some of these people nitpick about are alarming, and the sad part is that so many people will base their decision to buy their games based on these reviews and ...

is how even on the PS3's worst news day, it still gets more comments and hits than any 360 news from both camps. Cute.......

I see a lot of people here questioning the significance of this information.

Its called conflict of interest, and the definition is (A conflict of interest is a situation in which someone in a position of trust, such as a lawyer, insurance adjuster, a politician, executive or director of a corporation or a medical research scientist or physician, has competing professional or personal interests. Such competing interests can make it difficult to fulfill his or her duties imparti...

BF2 was really popular, and there is no need to think that Warhawk isn't going to be the same.
The thing is these reviewers or "EXPERTS" are people just like you and I, they have strange taste and just happen to get a job doing game coverage.

I wouldn't read too much into this at all, they mention the omission of bots as a glaring omission for god sake.

That is laughable at best, because the game has been clearly an ONLINE ONLY game. Its like tel...

Wasn't going to approve this, because the quality of the scan was so bad and I know with photo shop and all. But in the interest of giving everyone on this site ALL the info, I thought important to allow this.

This game, however, requires a different way of thinking, and I don't know if all the reviewers are ready to see this game for what it is, an ONLINE ONLY game. Not everyone can handle a game with no single player and justify the cost, and I bet that a lot of the score hin...

With the intentions of not being pestered by a certain nitpicker who shall remain nameless for now I will submit to you all that the reason this story was submitted under the GAMING section is because if the internet becomes slower because of increased traffic online gaming and TOURNAMENTS will be affected by this. If I am wrong about this please let me know through your reports and I will change the article. Thanks for your time.

Excuse any typos that you might encounter (i.e. Long Time vs. Longtime). Its my first successful news article and I was unable to make the proper corrections in time. Thanks to everyone who approved this article.

Monopolies and subsidies can breed inferior products. MS is the biggest recipient of government subsidies in the US today (See Auto industry as a past example with horrible consequences), maybe this has made them lazy and now the public becoming more aware of the flaws of their products. This could be the opportunity Linux needs.

Then again, maybe it just needs more time to catch on, but I say its good for a company like MS to be called to task every once in a while. Keeps them...

Nice review, Sony did multiplayer how it should be, it is what Shadowrun never was and so much more. This game will be pre-purchased tomorrow.
Its funny to see the same 3 people bashing the review, but what is most interesting is most of the 360 fanatics know to stay away. Citing nonsensical reasons why Warhawk shouldn't get a high score, such as "No Single Player (See. Shadowrun), not enough maps (See. Shadowrun), Crapy a$$ game (Only refer to to Shadowrun). Hell, even one of the...

Could the whole issue be a matter of comparison?
You have the 360, out for a year before the PS3. When the PS3 was released, expectations were high for the anticipated quality of the graphics.
If the PS3 were the only console out now, there would be nothing to compare it to so I believe there would be much less complaining. But the 360 is out, and as its main competitor people are comparing games released on both.
If someone takes the 360 at the same time the PS3 is right...

Blatantly trying to pass off old information. That sucks that you have to resort to that rather than just giving this developer props for stepping up (Sort of). EA, take note. Next time they should release the game on a timely basis.

Spending $600 just for Warhawk? "the other games do not interest me one bit." Hahahaha, sure buddy, whatever you say. $600 for one game? Hahahahaha.
Your one of the biggest detractors from the PS3 man, and you expect me to believe that one game is going to get you to buy a PS3?
Ok, all us PS3 owners will keep your secret, see you on an UT3 deathmatch, and HAZE, and tell me how you like Heavenly Sword.
Your too funny. "Yea, I like PS3, but not too much."...

Just because EA couldn't produce a game that was consistent? How does that logic work? So I guess a Formula 1 car must suck because if I drove one I would probably crash? Or violins suck because if I played one right now I would be horrible?
Just because you are not good at using something doesn't mean it sucks bro, it would be that you suck. In this case I think we should probably air on the side that EA is probably partly to blame for this debacle. Many other developers are doing ama...

What planet are you living on?
Basically you come on a site dedicated to the discussion of video game related news, then you tell people not to whine about a story that they feel affects them about the video gaming industry?
Like going on a web site to discuss politics and then getting upset that people are discussion, well, POLITICS. EA is a leader, they F ed up and now people are expressing their opinion, end of story.
If you don't want to read it then don't open the co...

Well my two agrees tell a different story my friend. And for the record, EA does owe all its loyal fans the best experience they can offer. As the biggest gaming company and a supposed leader of the industry, they need to live up to that name.
I didn't buy Madden so there is no loss to me, but I have been a gamer long before it was this main stream, and the amount of money people pay for games these days there, there should be some standard of quality for the product.
I guess yo...

Are my eyes deceiving me? Is EA finally getting backlash from their crappy products? Is the gaming community finally getting smart and demanding a quality game? I am elated and proud that after 5 to 10 years you are all realizing you were getting D!CKED. Kudos to all you Madden fans who finally woke up.

I was born in Panama, and I can tell you that the prosperity we enjoy in the U.S. or Europe or Australia is not shared all around the world. Believe it or not there are regions that have, hold your breath, POVERTY, so what your seeing is probably a months worth or more of wages for some families. Just be glad you live in such a prosperous part of the world and don't have to deal with old technology repackaged for your consumption. Though old to us, these products will make someone happy.

You are sure a damn racist, how about just taking the story for what it is. The veil that the internet affords racist is annoyingly frustrating, bet you wouldn't say that to mexican person to their face.

Rather than go through my whole spiel, I will just link to what I wrote last night about Madden and EA. As a company deserving of our money, EA needs to do much better than this.
