Most of you hate the Dynasty Warriors IP (and with good reason), but Koei has been around since the NES days. Their financial earnings, though, have always been tied to Sony's success. Finally, I'm going to get new versions of ROTK and NA!! Among the best the genre (RTS) has to offer on consoles (although still light by PC standards), they combine resource management & diplomacy with rpg elements to conquer feudal China/Japan. Very underrated games.

As far as the article goe...

who knew it was actually Fisher Price! Seriously, if you can't find at least 20 "hardcore" games for a console that's been on the market for 4 years, just quit gaming.

You & all the other droids make me feel dirty being a PS3 supporter. I just picked up NMH2 and along with HoTD:Overkill, they just might be the 2 most hardcore games in my library. I need to go pinch a save...

I finished the 360 version and it was a buggy mess with screen tearing galore. The combat system is exceptional, but that can only take you so far. An incoherent story, annoying sidekicks, and terrible level design really removed a lot of the fun factor. I mean think about it. We wouldn't even be mentioning load times if he designed the levels properly. But unfortunately, Bayonetta deteriorates into nothing more than a corridor fighter, running from area to area, fight bad guys, get graded, a...

GS lists Yakuza3 dropping in NA in 1st week of April. While nothing is ever set in stone in this industry, I usually find both Gamestop's and IGN's calendars to be generally accurate.

GT5 isn't releasing anywhere in March. Or April. May/June earliest Japan. Gamestop and other sites are using November 1st as the US launch date. Hopefully, Sony gets all the EU certifications done in time for 2010 in Europe. Whether by hook or by crook, Sony's gonna delay their biggest cash cow for the holidays.

Both Dante's Inferno and Darksiders are based off literature that existed over a thousand years. To call them rip-offs is asinine. I'm just glad I get to experience these loose interpretations in my preferred format. QT does indeed resemble Gears but like WoS said, we haven't even played the final build. The story could be vastly different. And the gameplay might be good. And Gears isn't available to PS3 owners. And GOW isn't available to 360 owners. So the term "clone" or "rip...

Like PSN too. I was hoping the popularity of something free would've forced MS to eventually make Live free as well. Silly rabbit, greed is for the CEOs.

for NA. Prolly May/June for Japan, hopefully all the EU certifications won't push it to 2011 for Europe

And you're right about potentially being overlooked. The last week of January brings ME2 & MAG. February titles include Bioshock2, Heavy Rain, WKC, Star Ocean, and Dante's Inferno. Consecutive weeks in March bring us BF:BC2 & MLB, FF13, and GOW3 & 99Nights2. Almost glad Splinter Cell got delayed. Even if ya just rent, there's almost too much to play.

I'd like to play the game before the PS4 hits. I just checked Gamestop's release list...WOW NOVEMBER 11th (they were spot on with GOW3's date). My only question, is Kazunori Yamauchi japanese for John Romero?

Bayonetta is garbage. Only DMC/NG fans should bother.

A convoluted plot, it's borderline Japanese soft porn with all the cooch shots and half naked witch "hair" spells. No wonder Famitsu gave it 40/40. 1st gen graphics (shiny textures and tons of bloom), wonky camera angles and a terrible cast of characters all round out a rather mediocre experience. I can't believe that fat annoying Joe Pesci wannabe even made it through the focus groups. And as soon as you start walk...

IMO it might probably not be Home itself since other people have found use in it. I hate the fact Sony delayed two promising titles I'd rather be playing right now for something I have no desire to use.

I consider it a personal sign of the apocalypse if Rock Band/GH released a Pink Floyd game. Never thought I'd be happy for the dissention between Gilmour and Waters to exist. And while Led and Sabbath are my other favs, I was much less optimistic about them. Seeing how Page and Iommi usually prostitute their wares to the highest bidders, this is refreshing to see.

VC is approaching 800k sales, the same as LO, making it tied as the second highest selling JRPG. For a new IP, the franchise gained considerable steam after its anime dropped in Japan. With the sequel slated for the PSP, I easily see this passing 1 million.

Folklore isn't an RPG. Fanboys loved to include this game initially because, frankly, there wasn't much in the way of RPGs on the PS3. As a PS3 launch owner I can freely admit it. But it's really just an adventure title with ...

COD1 curbstomps MW2 on vet. The dam, lorry escape, and pavlov's apt. building are all WAY better and far more difficult missions. I'm on the final mission and will proudly talk of earning its platinum. Though still auto-aim is by default turned on and must be disabled manually.

And OM, you're wrong about point 4. They don't respawn. Even later in the game (railroads) they didn't. What IW does is create placeholders that spawn 2 replacements for a fallen soldier. From a good vant...

8 gigs...only 8 gigs of game data. And that still won't fit on a single DVD. Just because you may not have a 1080p set and 7.1, don't assume the rest of us don't. And yes this is blown out of proportion but isn't everything here at N4G also?
