When I bought Socom, on the back of the box it states trophies included. Like a friend and socrack addict said to me last week, "they're releasing 1.3? - maybe it'll finally be the game that I was promised when I bought it Oct. 16th."

I fully expected online problems, not a half-implemented game w/ broken gameplay mechanics. Thanks for the 7 maps too. An awful game like HAZE has 17 multiplayer maps lol. I use it as an example because it similarly shipped w/ just 6 MPs a...

I don't understand why the need of an article even.

In other news from the department of the obvious, on sunny days the sky is blue.

EDIT: It would actually be news somehow if ANY title was more popular at retail than its free demo.

The fact that every title has AP on the 360 was a distinct advantage from 2005-08. As a playstation supporter, I have already given props several times to MS for the AP/trophy concept. Even to the point that I recommend older titles like Assassin's Creed, SC4, and SW:FU to the 360 over their PS3 counterparts. And I agree Sony should've made their own engineers if needed to retroactively patch in trophy support for all PS3 exclusives. I can't get too upset that MGS4, Valkyrie Chronicles, and e...

Solid is a 360 troll that tries to ruin people's video game experiences by revealing the endings to games...like R2. And yes, he's in the same boat as the idiot who ruined Gears2 w/ the video ending (and at least someone had to link on the site to watch it). So while I usually respect most people's opinion, he's firmly been placed in the ignore list for a good reason.

Owning all 3 consoles is great...except when you come to N4G. You have to read 3x the bullsh!t, usually on irrele...

MS indirectly helped Sony by releasing the 360 before a HD-DVD drive could be implemented in it. Think about it, would the format war be over if the 360 had one in it? Methinks I would still be watching upconverted DVDs, waiting for a declared winner.

No my friend, Toshiba is the one who still clings onto DVD and tries to confuse consumers w/ derivitive formats, especially in Asian markets like China. Even though Blu Ray has taken over market share from DVD in their home country ...

When they charge $5 to unlock Heihachi I hope everyone complains just as vigorously! Maybe they'll charge us another $5 to unlock, err I mean download arcade stick support too. Great, I'll have the definitive Tekken experience for only $79.99!!!! Wait, you're telling me that's NOT the Collector's Edition?

I have over 25 games with trophies and by far PAIN is the biggest pain to get trophies. Hell, they even list trophies for DLC I haven't even purchased...What, I need the Hoff?

No wonder you're so bitter. Try to have a good xmas

And I just finished Halo 1&2. Better quit KOTOR now. Great news though if it happens. I hope Psychonauts gets the treatment too seeing how I just downloaded it from the marketplace. Oh well, I needed to play F.E.A.R before Feb/March anyway.

Edit: you make an astute observation outlaw, given that the titles mentioned were indeed marketplace games. At least I should have 3 titles getting patched if this holds true.

the best part of it he was disappointed he couldn't play these games because we didn't own a Wii and overheard him tell his brother he's gonna ask Santa for one. MAN I CAN'T FREAKING WAIT FOR XMAS!!

And fun...but Zork says hi from the 70s. Although as a kid those were good days I can't help but cringe at the thought of text-based adventures.

Check out the history of the Aquatread. They were very expensive to manufacture initially and some pundits questioned whether all-weather tires were even needed. Safe to say I bet Goodyear is glad they didn't listen as they are currently one of the companies' best products in both quality AND sales.

So should they stop selling tires and encourage people to buy Bridgestones until they can synthetically produce a cheaper rubber compound? <---your logic

to the stability of the servers which initially was the primary problem. 1.3 adds trophies, increases the blast radius of grenades, fixes reload interruptions, etc...basically balancing out gameplay issues. The real problem w/ Socom is they made an online-only game featuring a whopping 7 maps. The first map pack should be free is my spamming warcry on socom.com.

did they ever fix the abhorent control scheme? Does Capcom realize both Sony and MS have right analog sticks that are perfect for aiming/looking? Seriously, what's the use in mapping a static camera to the right analog stick when it becomes utterly useless in combat? I'd like to be able to move while shooting. Is that too much to ask? Overly complicated controls should never factor into a game's difficulty. And don't even get me started on the old controls of earlier RE games. It's sad when 4...

in respect to next gen systems from Sony and MS following Nintendo's lead. Is that a bad thing though? 1080p is the foreseeable standard resolution for TVs. 7.1 audio is good enough sound for another 5-7 years of gaming. Luxury options that made it a necessity for multiple SKUs this gen wont be needed as most will be cheap enough to be included as standard features. Basically, we've hit a temporary ceiling so to speak as far as consoles are concerned IMO. Both consoles struggle with native HD...

But his point 5 is so completely true and outweighs any detrimental issues. Whether it's nostaglia (of your own past) or unrestrained love (as a parent), the first moment your child gets it and you see unbridled joy on his face from playing "your hobby", it's priceless.

Very fanboy-ish of you...And frankly, I expected more coming from you. Here's a hint: Ever think of parents? Wow, that took 3 seconds. Any other questions of the universe you need answered?

you have to troll better than that...almost wasn't worth the 30 seconds I spent typing this.

@uzisuicide - just report him, hopefully, the mods will see his post before anymore people are ruined by the unannounced spoiler. And yes, I did the same to those trolls who tried to ruin GeOW2 for 360 fans.

I know because I had this pre-ordered at Gamestop for my son who loves the series as a Xmas gift. Can't believe it festered so long under the fanboys' noses.

@ Etownone - So to answer your post, as a PS3 owner and father, it bothered me quite a bit. In fact, it actually cemented my decision to forego risk and purchase a 360. LOL, believe that, it wasn't Gears, or Halo, or ME, or Bioshock - it was a crappy alien game from THQ. Have a happy turkey day :D
