Most PC gamers have gone digital already and the rest of the industry is just learning the digital market.
For the PC to be all digital is a no brainer but the console market still relies on Boxes and stores to help keep the demand high and console prices low as a 1TB HDD would jack up prices on consoles
I'm sure Console makers wanna get rid of media but slow internet and capping charges would hurt sales.
Vindictus is pretty cool. Real time Hack n Slash like God of War 3 but it uses the Source Engine so physics play a major role in the game like ripping trees out the ground and using them like a baseball bat or kicking enemies through the wall.
I'm still on the fence about this game after seeing the space combat I was totally turned off. Then again I play Eve Online so that made me have too high of expectations for Star Wars
Yep and No one is gonna buy this game because it will get drowned in a sea of advertisement for KZ3 and Bulletstorm.
They need to change the release date seriously
Just give us San Andreas 2 and we will be happy. Well I know I will.
PS GTAIV was BORING!! until I played the mods.
If your like me and have a PC then you should be bored to tears already from playing a thousand hours of Neo Geo games on and offline.
The PC it only does
MAME
Genesis
SNES
NES
Atari
Xbox
Playstation
Playstation 2
Neo Geo
Wii
GameCube
N64
I'm not gonna type all the dam consoles but you get the hint. it just doesn't do Xbox 360 or PS3 (yet).

MAG is a good game but consolers just don't like to use team work. They prefer to just go Rambo, get a bunch of kills even if their team looses the round. hence the huge Black Ops numbers and plus MAG requires skill and tactics versus the arcade feel of Black ops.
Looks like another awesome action RPG for the PC.
I really enjoy Vindictus and Tera looks to provide some epic combat live combat as well but with more magic and stuff versus the brute force of Vindictus
If you think your good a Starcraft 2 then watch this match and you will see just how much you really suck.
I have ZERO delusions about Starcraft 2 "I know I suck at it but it's still fun".
Being able to play Crysis using different techniques was a really nice touch. You could mix Rambo, Stealth, or twitch gaming tactics at the press of a button.
This was a nice trailer and a lot better than the boring MP I saw but Crysis is all about the SP. Can Crysis 2 PC top Metro 2033 in the graphics department? Will have to wait and see.
Onlive sucks and is bogus. They have changed their business model so many times because it just isn't working.
As I'm reading this long winded article I keep saying to myself CLOUD Computing is already here and no company would trust Onlive for "work type stuff".
It's obvious Onlive paid you to write this boring article but don't ever compare Onlive to STEAM. With Onlive you OWN NOTHING!! with STEAM I have all my games on my HD...
The VGA's were totally STUPID and a waste of two hours. The only thing good about the show was Uncharted 3 trailer and the Homefront Commercial because these two were the only two to show actual game play.
I've watched Public Service Announcements that provided more entertainment than the VGA's.
Man your old, I guess i am too as I remember playing pong at a friends house. we would play for hours upon hours.
I've had or played on 80 percent of all these systems. I even had a neighbor that had a NeO GEo. I think the Odyssey systems and the most of the Panasonic 3Do are the only system I never played.
Great walk through history.
Most video game writers have NO Clue as to what they are talking about.
They play a game for like 10 minutes then write a review or just get free stuff from Activision then write the review.
The only games that most game writers play are on their iPhones.
And as you can see this Moron Michael Rose had to humiliate himself just to get some web hits. Next week he will post pictures of himself in a thong and high heels for web hits cause his writing...
Killzone 3 the best PS3 shooter ever? HEll YEs
As a PC gamer I would put Killzone 3 in the top 10 of best FPS ever on any platform. I have played Killzone 2 to death and have played enough of Killzone 3 beta to appreciate the improvements and advancement of the series. Sure KZ3 isn't out yet but all GG has to do is improve KZ2 and thus KZ3 would replace KZ2 in my top ten FPS.
Some may not like KZ for it's weighty and realistic movements but you ca...

Should Next Generation Consoles Use SSDs?
Sure if you don't mind paying $1100 or more for a console.
A 250 GB SSD will run you $500 minimum
A 500 GB SSD will run you $1200 minimum
1 TB SSD will cost you a Kidney or $3000 minimum
$5000 worth of LCD monitors +
$1000 worth of Video cards =
Gaming Heaven
This has to the best top 10 list I've seen except remove Black Ops and put God Of War 3 in it's place.
STALKER Call of Pripyat was my game of the year
