CRank: 5Score: 23740

I always laugh when people use Metacritic as some sort of measuring stick or fact sheet when deciding which games are, "better" then others. This whole incident sheds some light on the credibility of Metacritic, which is really just a conglomeration of opinions in the first place. Although, it appears that there's even opinions on opinions in this case, which is surprising. I mean, it's difficult enough for a reviewer to assign an arbitrary score to his/her review, but to assign an ...

I think there should be three separate commercials for LBP.

1. One commercial for Play.
2. One commercial for Create.
3. One commercial for Share.

Or just combine 2 and 3 into one commercial. Although, commercials cost a lot of money but one can still hope.

They both look really good. I really liked the presentations with the OWA theme and MGS theme playing in the background for each character.

The combat looks solid as well as the character models with the exception of the faces. I still don't like the mannequin/plastic looking faces but then again everything else looks really good.

And it also looks like Itagaki took his F-Cup character designs with him as well. That girl's chest actually looks proportional to the rest of her body.

The rhythm was a little fast but awesome nonetheless! Hats off to who ever created that.

JRPG co-op, 1080p and 100+ hours of gameplay! Level-5 set to deliver as usual. Level-5 showing that other JRPG developers are still at Level-4 :P.

Yeah, I wonder what happened to Cellius? Anyways, I seriously want another Xenosaga (or at least something set in the same universe) or even brand new Xeno-series of RPGs altogether. Please Namco Bandai make it happen :).

Motomu Toriyama the director of FFXIII already said in an interview, "There will absolutely not be an Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII for Japan."

However, an Asian version with Japanese subtitles may be possible. Then again, I seriously doubt that a large number of Japanese gamers would actually wait for a 360 release (im...

The Unreal Engine 3 has reached its graphical limit (at least when Gears 2 is released). 360 games will look better but I doubt that many of them past Gears 2 onward will use the UE3 to accomplish this. Programmers will create more efficient engines to accomplish this feat.

"Here are some other specific aspects of XboX 360"

A.I. is a specific aspect? I understand writing things about the GPU or about Xbox Live (although not mentioned) as a specific aspect but A.I., which varies from game to game?

"The GPU has a stylish appearance..."

I wasn't aware that people were cracking open their 360s to stare in awe at the GPU.

Anyways, it was a good laugh.

Aspects reminiscent of Monster Hunter? They just need to put this caption in their advertisements for the game and it will sell like hot cakes in Japan.

BTW, Tokyo Game Show can't come fast enough! I'm really eager to hear what type of online options this game will have, assuming there will be an online component of course.

Isn't it funny how since FFXIII was announced for the 360, with the whole Asian release screw up and now "WE have no plans to release FFXIII," Microsoft are all of a sudden acting like they own the IP.

My guess is that it has be some sort of online features that's probably tied to the character creation part... Well, TGS can't come fast enough.

That interview got me intrigued as to what this new aspect of WKC will be. I'm hoping that it might be something that will move the JRPG formula/genre forward.

Agrees. Unless Squeenix finds another team to work on the game, this seems like a pretty far-fetched rumor. However, one can still hope :).

Yeah, the trailer looks good. I hope they add some new animations in for the enemies and not just stick with the ones from RE4.

I'll take a wild guess and say that the girl in the red dress is Sherry from RE2.

I really like the "fantasy based on reality" theme that the game is portraying (i.e. real world settings, items etc.). I'm definitely looking forward to seeing some gameplay from this one.

Microsoft! At least give Square Enix some dev kits before you prematurely start announcing releases for the game!
