Console development has stagnated in the East due to the popularity of handhelds. Instead of pushing the envelope, they've rested on their laurels. Producing cheap, low-quality shovelware with 2D sprites (ya know games I played 20 years ago on consoles) doesn't help anywhere but their bottom line.

Storylines have always been cliched, predictable, and convoluted but it's really grown out of control this gen too. I've had far too many WTF moments this gen playin...

I know this might be baffling to some, but there is a portion of us gamers who haven't experienced Heavy Rain. Like RE5 Gold, it sits on my shelf, waiting to be played.

Why? Long ago I hedged my bet this would be move-compatible and thus waited. Feels good to be rewarded for my patience! Concerning RE, I despise it's old, archaic control scheme but have played every RE. Tried to play it on the 360 but couldn't (was only able to finish RE4 on the Wii so I know how...

Platinum games has 2 bona fide IPs on their hands. A great pick up for Sega too. I'm really impressed how efficient Vanquish's engine performs; no screen tearing, no discernable FR drops, the core shooting mechanic is solid, detailed graphics...and was that David Hayter's voice?

#1 If you want a drink of your beverage, then you'll have put down a controller? Really? Guess I better buy a beer hat then. Or wait til my turn is over. Or maybe pause the game. God forbid the phone rings...

#2 I might get tired holding up the controller all night long? Wow, he's right. Thank god the Wii exists, cause it gave me these huge, gorilla-like forearms. Honestly, if it wasn't for the Wii, I never would've finished RE4 (I despise that old, archaic c...

...more glitches and bugs than RDR! Classic N4G logic. You do know it's a spaghetti western, right?

No secret Free Radical made TS, but now since they're under Crytek's umbrella, they've been handling the MP for C2. I've read several glowing previews of the MP portion too. Confined layouts like CoD's but vertical like UC2 lead to intense firefights and a good balance.

YOU'RE SO COOL!!!

Sure you created an avatar, but the choices are the same. The end result is the EXACT same whether you're good, neutral, or evil. You've fallen for the illusion of choice, nothing more. Would you consider RDR an RPG? Most people wouldn't, it's an open-world adventure set in the sandbox genre. But break up the missions, add a dialogue tree, force gamers to play through it twice to see both evil & good missions (mexican army vs. rebels as an example), and doesn't that su...

two people butchering the word heinous in the same thread is tragic as well.

isn't Alan Wake out on the 18th as well? Another $100 down the drain that day :)

spouting off his usual meta rankings like the sheep that he is...I kinda feel sorry for those weak-minded fools who can't formulate their own opinion and have to rely on others'. With Gamefly and Blockbuster, there's absolutely no reason to either. What's even more ironic, I enjoyed WKC far more than LO and BD. And they were both decent games. But unlike some people, I have the gamer score and trophy lvl to prove it. I don't need a review score to justify my purchase.

On topic I'...

between all the sony nuthuggers raging against the 15 yr olds to the Wiidiots who think Nintendo has invented 3D, you got your work cut out for you. Not to mention the occasional 360 troll who feels lonely & left out of the discussion (maybe he yearns for a Zune3D who knows)...

The game released with a paultry number of maps initially and did you see what Dice considers new, FREE maps? They've taken two maps already available and ADDED the other mode to it. WOW. Those are the two in April. Oh, and they're going to release upgrades to the classes. My only question: I like BC2 quite a bit, but why does Dice always get a free pass for releasing incomplete games?

been sayin this 4 awhile...when's reach comin out?

I am eagerly anticipating it. Looks amazing compared to the original. While I would label the 1st a puzzle game w/ fps mechanics, this one looks to shatter those stereotypes.

He started doing this stuff a long time ago on public access (with a stick, A STICK). Many PS3 owners hated him for justifiably criticizing Sony during 2006/07: High pricepoint, format war, lack of software, and multi-plats performing better on a cheaper console arrogantly dismissed by the Sony big wigs themselves.

Flash forward to 2010. He's already given 5 stars to LBP, KZ2, Infamous, UC2, and GOW3. He's repeatedly stated what a value the PS3slim is.

He's even h...
