"Historically, PlayStation exclusives do not fare well on Xbox 360, with titles such as Uncharted 2 and LittleBigPlanet failing to sell a single copy to Xbox 360 owners."
Damned 360 owners! Why aren't you playing PS3 exclusives??
Now you have little excuse not to!
I don't think they got as much negative feed back as you think they did.
Yakuza 2 sold ~50k copies in the states, so even if 5k people complained about this cover, that's 45k who haven't complained.
Why?
What the hell is the matter with the kind of person that wants a cover change?? Print out a new one and replace the one you have!
Stop wasting the publishers time with this rubbish, Gah!
WTF?! It's not like Games Radar are new!
Gears was the first to have a cover system? What about Kill Switch??
Climbing came from Tomb Raider? Are you kidding me? No other game had climbing?! None?!
Every over-the-shoulder perspective games owes it all to Resident Evil 4?? Not Splinter Cell or anything else?
Batman's upgrade system is from Ratchet and Clank? Not Metroid??
It's like they can't make a feature without having somethi...
Multi-plat games just can't look better, or surely we would have seen some by now?
There are people who haven't read the manual, and take it personally, it seems.
Can we get a fix for this? What's the point in an average score if you have them in two separate categories for the same game on the same platform?
Comparing versions of a game that features heavy forced-perspective , and motion blurring.
Give it up guys, the time it takes to read the article is time you could be spent playing.
I particularly like the part where he mumbles and contradicts himself for 7 or 8 paragraphs, then rather than scrap it all, decided to sum up the entire article in one paragraph.
Isn't it nice when poor journalists, make it easy on us?
I think it does, a matter of highlighting the user in XMB and select report... Unless I'm mistaken, in which case I know that most if not all games have a report feature, anyway.
Why you should read the manual.
Except that the Lens of Truth have a problem with consistency.
One week a worse looking, better performing 360 game with beat the PS3 version, but when the PS3 version is the worse looking and better performing, the 360 often still wins!
Playing each version is the only way to decide:
a) which is better
b) how much of a plonker you are for buying 2 copies of the same game!
Some have the 360 with sharper texturing, others show the PS3 or PC has it.
I think this has more to do with forced-perspective blurring, which makes direct comparisons nearly almost subjective.
The rise of this kind of blurring has a lot to do with developers getting annoyed with anybody with a pair of eyes thinking they're a better judge of consistency in their games, than they are!
Do you have to think about the bullshit you write, or does it come naturally?
Dead Space sold nearly 2million copies on consoles. Resident Evil 5 sold only 3million more, and it's an established brand, that has forgotten its Survival Horror roots.
As for the rest of your post: Poppycock! Back it up with facts, or shut up. If you've developed anything at all you know what a blessing developing for a couple of architectures is, PC games are much more complicated due to...
Pretty good for a new IP, and a survival horror at that!
I would have thought the controls would still suit a Mouse and Keyboard better, I only played it on PS3, but it played the same as most over-the shoulder shooters, didn't it? Unless I'm mistaken, then you have a good excuse for now liking it all that much.
I enjoyed the PS2 Sims 2, so one that doesn't have so much loading would be very pleasant :D
8/10 is a great score.
Why are you happy they're not in metacritic?
It lacked the artillery of Mercs ;)
But they also play quite differently. You're not as invincible in Saboteur, and you have to resort to running away and hiding a lot more.
You don't know how close to the article you really are!
