I think the most important thing for a game to truly earn a 10 is to be accessible to nearly everyone, given age restrictions of course (E,T,M,AO). That's really what reviewers look for more than anything. The only exception would be Bioshock which only deserves a 10 for artistic direction. Oblivion didn't get the scores it deserved because not everyone can get into it. Whether it was a better game or not didn't matter, it's all about the accessiblity.

Somebody needs a PSP then...
Well you don't need games to sell a BR player, but I will say that the 40gb will do for Sony what the 20GB already has. If your going to buy what's considered the most high end console why would you get the ghetto version?
Bubbles for mikey and ju for mking since! Does it not seem that every week or everyday even you hear 360/wii/ps3 sales blowing away the competition how will their competitors stay afloat? I remember these debates between the PSP and DS years ago and look at both those consoles...
Great find! It's good to know that Jack is still fighting for what he believes in, money. The day good Ole Jack passes on will be a day of mourning for us gamers cause he has given us so much plublicity...
6 hours is fine for me if that is how long it takes a hardcore gamer to beat it. The last FPS that took me more than 10hrs to beat was Bioshock at 17hrs. If it's too short or the multiplayer isn't that good I'll just sell it and get half of my investment back so it's not a big deal to me, but then again I'm the type of person who just has to have all the Big titles right now.... Sucks cause it's so expensive. But anyway, how long did it take everyone to beat CoD2?
I still have a feeling that it will come to 360, I'll be playing it one way or the other though. And at the Cell, Halo wouldn't run on the PS3 because it doesn't have the color pallet to suport it. If they ported Halo it would end up looking like Fear on PS3 and anyone who's played Fear on both systems knows what I'm talking about.
I would bump Rock band for Haze and Uncharted for Fear Files. And yes I prefer fps above just about anything, but that's just me.
I can't disagree with your opinion because it's how you feel and it would be f#cked up for me to tell you that your wrong. Personally I feel the opposite, I've never been so intouch with the gaming community and the art of games. I understand that online isn't as big a part of your gaming experience as others and I believe that's the main reason for your angst. Online is actually the biggest part of the community for me (yes I pay $50 to play online, but I'm also active in PSN, and nintendo W...
You can look at it as one console beats another and that's fine or you can look at it for what it really is, video games are becoming a defining art in todays society. That's what I take from these charts. The more systems that are out there the more canvases artists have to make masterpieces on. So it's just a great time to be a gamer in my humble opinion.
this is just a ploy to get Emos to get off there Wii's...
I get it that your all mad and up in arms about this flame war that's been damageing your pride, even going as far to have xbotsmustdie as a name. But then you say Uncharted makes all xbox 360 games look like xbox 1 games, OMFG, there's not a wii game that doesn't look better than Just Cause... I mean Uncharted. A good game is a good game on all consoles but a bad game no matter who's marketing it is a bad game. And what game runs at 640p at 24fps or are you just making up stuff for people wh...
I have to contest that I'm afraid. Fear definately gets those props in my book. No FPS has the level of atmosphere that fear does, even though the graphics are considered last gen. Maybe KZ2 will dethrone it, and I'll give it major props if it does, but until then...
Agreed, though I'm happy to see that it looks like it has picked up some speed as well. I've never had a problem with the pacing but having it move quicker is always a good thing.
Using a SDTV doesn't make much sense to me considering the PSP itself outputs higher than SD so it would be downgrading the quality as well as stretching it which is not a good idea.
Yeah they are just mashing the buttons too hard.... Oh wait, Sony said that....
Sushifx please don't hate me for what I'm about to say cause I'm going to break your argument pretty quick. If "we" hardcore gamers didn't matter then PC gaming would be completely dead. If "we" hardcore gamers didn't matter we wouldn't have our own TV shows. If "we" hardcore gamers didn't matter then there wouldn't be worldwide tournaments. The greatest games of all time appealed to both hardcore and casual gamers alike and sell the most. Would you rather appeal...
I completely agree with the drop in BC. Why you ask, because the people looking to buy a $400 PS3 are going to be selling all their old ps2 games to buy it anyways. And for those that don't why not keep your ps2? One question I do pose is what do RTS fans have to look forward to on the PS3? Absolutely nothing, which is very disapointing when you consider how hard the XB360 is pushing them. Even the DS has it's own style of RTS now (Heroes of Mana). Many people will ask why don't I just play t...
I miss the Sega vs Nintendo days. I remember when people were saying that Sega was putting Nintendo out of business and vice versa. Well guess what, both companies are still around doing there thing (given Sega is all software now but my point still remains).
