Wireless is just fine. I play all my games on my PC, Wii, PS3, 360, DS, and PSP over Wi-Fi connection. I'd never go back to wired, because it's just... well, too many wires, and no noticeable performance increase. I always outperform my opponents in my favorite online games, so clearly playing over a Wi-Fi connection isn't hindering me in any way.
Warhawk is the best and most balanced online competitive game I've ever played. Never before has being on foot, in a vehicle, or in an aircraft been so evenly matched with just as good of an opportunity for besting your opponent regardless of what mode of transportation you're using and what weapon you have. Any combination is useful. Cannot wait to see what these awesome devs come up with next.
No, it requires a debug unit, retail PS3's won't play it.
Stupid greedy critics. Critics are horrible. Unbiased-ness is a myth and it's a fact that whoever buys this game won't even be able to play it unless they have a debug unit, which they won't unless they're a professional critic, in which case they'd already have their own review copy of the game. This seller sucks and nobody should buy it.
Not a bad analysis in total, Oner, but MGS4 is a third party exclusive, not a first-party exclusive. It was developed AND published by Konami.
That means that it's 1 title for 4 awards in the PS3 1st Party exclusive category, and 1 title for 2 awards in the PS2 3rd Party exclusive category.
Metal Gear Solid 4 wins Best Graphics.
Anybody that actually played it knows this to be factual, no opinion about it.
LittleBigPlanet won the most individual awards. Good for Media Molecule.
Congratulations to Bethesda and Fallout 3 for winning Game of the Year and RPG of the Year. They deserved it a couple years back for Oblivion and got simply robbed.
Overall, IGN makes some pretty good choices. Congrats to all the winners.
They're DEFINITELY playing it safe for the fanboys.
Same reason they gave Resistance 2 and Gears of War 2 the exact same score.
@ Tuttle:
You do realize that when Sony dropped price in 07, they actually did consistently outsell the 360 until the 360 dropped ITS price again? And even still, the PS3 never dropped to within the price range of the 360. 400 dollars is still more than the cheapest model of the 360 cost at LAUNCH more than 3 years ago. The price drop and games lineup, addition of in-game XMB, etc. were VERY problematic for the 360 and were causing the 360 to start losing ground. The 360's ...
NOBODY agrees with me? Come on, what I'm trying to say is that you get the same basic functionality with the two (making phone calls & playing videogames, respectively), but one costs less in the short run (7-11 phone & 360), with consistent charges that make it eventually cost more (pay-as-you-go service costs way more than a monthly service with an annual contract, if you use your phone daily; Xbox Live costs, PSN is free). The iPhone and PS3 both have more features than their res...
@ Mint Royale
Microsoft says 7 million lead in the North America. If it was 8 million, you'd better believe they'd have SAID so. So, I'll go with 7 million on this one.
This CLOWN actually believes the 360 is a better value if it's the same price as the PS3? That's ridiculous. He's blowing smoke up your asses, people, everyone knows that isn't true. The PS3 has kept pace with the 360 for two years at a much higher price. If the PS3 and 360 had been the same price all this time, you bet your ass that the PS3 would be killing the 360.
He even says that they charge for Xbox Live because they don't believe they should charge people for something...
I have one response to this article. This quote in particular:
"[Haze's] controls [are] clunky and awkward."
FALSE! How are they clunky OR awkward? They're your standard FPS controls and they work perfectly fine for what they are. My guess is that these critics didn't even PLAY Haze, they are just hating on it because it got mediocre reviews. I actually played Haze, and the controls are fine.
That's funny, Captain Tuttle, what I see from Sak's post is that the 360 was at over 10 million at the end of 2006, and the PS3 was at under 2 million. That's MORE than an 8 million lead. 2 years later, and it's just an 8 million lead. Therefore, the BEST you can say is that the PS3 has sold evenly with the 360 since then, and the worst is that the PS3 has indeed sold better than the 360 cumulatively since the end of 2006.
The Xbox 360 is like the pay-as-you-go Cell Phone from 7-11. The PS3 is like an iPhone, if the iPhone offered free life-time phone service.
If the 360 is winning by 7 million in the US and 1 million in Europe, and its losing by 2 million in Japan, then where is it making up those other 2 million to retain an 8 million (as opposed to 6 million) total worldwide lead? Or are they completely forgetting about Japan?
I bought N+ and wish I hadn't. The PC version is just as good, and it's free. N+ did as well or better than it deserved.
There are at least 3 free Disgaea wallpapers on there.
How is Magic Ball?
I got Cuboid last week, that was a great surprise. Really good game. I'd already played the free flash game it was based on, but the presentation/graphics/sound on the PSN version are so much better, the online leaderboards make it worthwhile to strive for the best possible solutions, and the puzzles are all new, so even though the basics are the same, it isn't the same game. Oh, and the trophies were a fun addition.
If Magic Ball is even ha...
tried the L4D demo on Xbox Live and was largely unimpressed. But it only has the co-op (I think Resistance 2 co-op is more fun, but that's just me), and it didn't have the competitive multiplayer, which I've heard great things about. Anyway, I wasn't too impressed, but I'd pick it up on the cheap if I could. Thing is, Valve's games are ALWAYS better on PC, but this game in particular is all multiplayer, so I figure if I'm going to get it and I have any friends who play it, I should get the...
This sounds pretty good. I've never liked RTS games (I liked Warcraft 2, but that's it. I just don't have the reflexes and thinking ability to simultaneously manage the units for an RTS. I admit: it's my fault; I just suck at the genre. Even Starcraft didn't do it for me, just too much for my feeble abilities). But this sounds promising.
