Wow!! A mature comment. Almost forgot what one of those looks like. Anyways, totally agree. Like you, along with a PS3, I have a semi-decent gaming rig, but it does its job.
At first, I was like "RDR??", but then I started thinking about the opening credits where you're eavesdropping on the women's conversation of the state of the West which basically reveals the backdrop of the entire game. Not to mention, the ensuing developments with the McFarland family. Good choice.
Took the words right out of my mouth. I'd never witnessed anything like it up to that time. Still to this day, I have never seen presentation innovation to the degree that MGS provided during its time.

It should matter for those of us that own a PS3, too. Even though I trust SMS to deliver a good game, no developer should be given an opportunity to rest on its laurels.
As great a franchise as The Show has been, NO sports franchise should land an exclusivity agreement. Afterall, it's competition, no matter how great or small, that has put The Show in the position it currently stands at. Over the years, we have seen Madden, and to a much lesser extent, NBA 2K become somewhat complacent due to lack of competition in their respective genres. Exclusivity has become the bane of the last two generations for the sports gaming enthusiasts.
Also, I think it's games like this that are causing people to think that gaming in general, as we once knew it, is dying.
Outland is a GREAT game for anyone who has yet to try it. Been intending to check out From Dust for a while now.
For that matter, he must not have played Mirror's Edge either.
Mindsets and articles like this are among the many reasons why gaming has become as stagnant as it is today. It's understandable that L.A. Noire would be a "bad" game if you were expecting Grand Theft Auto.

Same thing I was thinking. Don't understand why voice command couldn't be implemented in the other versions. Apparently Ubisoft is the only one capable of making any extensive use of the feature. I thought it was well done in Endwar.
Remember the days when games IN GENERAL were full games?
The N64/Rare version....yes.
Activision's version...not so much.
This was a great list. I haven't had much interest in a Nintendo console since the N64, though I owned a GC for a brief period of time. But if Nintendo were to announce Eternal Darkness 2, I would get a WiiU strictly off that game alone.

If "Msxbox-world is garbage", then why are YOU here??
Same here, fluf.
So true. And on the subject of sequels, rarely did you come across a franchise last gen that consisted of 2 or more sequels all within the same gen. The DMC series is the only one to come to mind. Now it seemed to become the norm.
- the rise of DLC
- incentive for devs to rush an unfinished product out the door (via patches).
- rise of fanboy senselessness on the net
- obscenities and cheating in MP gaming
Yep, I would agree.
Can't believe Heavenly Sword's not on that list.
Yeah, the GameCube for me too. I initially bought it at that time for all intents and purposes of playing the "next gen" Perfect Dark....only to eventually find out that M$ had acquired Rare. Ironically, I hate that I got rid of my GC due to the fact that Eternal Darkness happened to be a personal fav of mine.
I have that controller. It's nice for its PS3 feel. But it blows if you stray too far away from the receiver.
