is almost always fun to read.

Turned out to be one of the biggest pieces of FUD in the 2008 campaign. It was so off that it made Factchecks Whopper list:

and here is a link to why it was off:

When you got to the tags search menu, if you hit the Square button it brings up a word search dialog. Type in, "No Surprises" and any level named with those words will show up on your planet.
They should include a ranking site that is not affiliated with Cnet to add a little objectivity to the equation. IGN has gamestats.com which ranked them as follows:
LBP: 9.6
Gears 2: 9.4
Resistance 2: 9.4
Fable 2: 9.1
That would change the outcome of their results to:
1 LBP
2 Gears 2
3 Resistance 2
4 Fable 2
Android is an operating system for phones, not a specific phone it self. This is just the first of the android phones. My next phone will be an Android, but probably not this particular unit. A guy I work with has an iphone, and it's kind of cool, but there are way to many negatives for me like no replaceable battery. I'm on my third cell I've owned, and given time every one has eventually needed a new battery. Sure you could probably send it to apple or take it to an apple store, but that's ...
People blasting Obama, and people blasting McCain. Every one should STFU and read a bipartisan fact checking web site before you start screaming that one side is more innocent or corrupt than the other. The fact is Both sides have lied about a lot of things, but only by validating the facts at places like http://www.factcheck.org/ are you going to get the unbiased truth about what both sides are claiming. They break down every thing ...
If he's saying to take a day off to vote and it only takes 15 minutes, the other 23.75 hours are free gaming time! =) ...might want to sleep a little as well.
If LBP's servers had this much trouble it means one of a the following:
1. They underestimated how many people were going to buy Little Big Planet and so the servers got swamped. This would mean the game is selling better than they hoped, and they are going to have to up the amount of servers to compensate. If this is the case this just shows how popular the game really is.
2. Not all the servers were up and running before people started using them. This is also a po...
If they keep all the beta made levels then being first on day one may still mean being lost in the endless crowd. The last day of the beta there were over 10 planets worth of levels, and sadly they only showed the top 10 pages worth at the time unless you did a search.
if anyone is interested, and they do keep the beta levels in, one level I recommend taking a look at is "Little Big Factory" I saved it locally in my beta account, but sadly it's not accessible in the re...
The screen saver is actually your sack person sleeping. If you watch them standing still in the pod doing nothing they slowly get bored, then sit down, and eventually they nod off and finally they start to dream about running through the levels, but as a generic sack person. If you have your controllers set to turn off after a few minutes you may not get to see this as your sack person will despawn, but I agree it's fun to watch.
When a console still breaks as often as the 360 does it's hardly irrelevant. My brothers 360 broke for a third time last month. I personally consider that very relevant. If the 360 hardware failures disappear from the new or my personal experience for more than a year then perhaps I would consider the situation resolved; however, Microsoft has not made any statement that the issue has been resolved, and there is a California law suite that would say otherwise as well. The only place I've ever...
Cnet owns ZDnet as of 2000:
http://news.cnet.com/2100-1...
Microsoft formed a, "Online and Print Media Alliance" with ZDnet in 2006:

That means Cnet formed at least a partial alliance with Microsoft. So it doesn't matter if CBS owns Cnet. As long as Microsoft...
The 5200's controllers were by far the worst ones ever. They were so bad I had phased them out of my mind till you mentioned them. The rubber buttons would just stop working, and the analog stick would dislodge and get stuck with the stick wedged in a corner, and if you tried to crack open the controller to fix the analog stick it would dislodge the numeric keypad rendering the controller junk. You are 100% correct, the 5200 controller was the worst controller of all times.

The Intellivision controller was awkward to hold and the 16 directions made the disk feel sloppy. I also credit the Intellivision controller for being the first game pad, and revolutionizing the industry. If you compared it to the atari 2600 joysticks of the time it was a break through. The 2600 joysticks, though classic, were utter crap. I think my brothers and I went through about 1 every couple of months. The sticks plastic pressure pressers were very flimsy, and just didn't last very lon...
How is it that according to Metacritic Variety apparently gave Little Big Planet an 80 when Variety doesn't even score games??? It hurts the games rating and is false number to boot. Honestly I don't mind an 80 if that's what was given, but they shouldn't make up scores to drop a games rating. It's as bad as, if not worse than, fanboyism.
Edit: Got a response, supposedly they got the rating from Variety's games editor... I'm sorry I disagree with that as that gives them the power...
I pains me to use VGchartz as any form of comparison as they have been so far off at times, but at the same time we can really see how bad the Dreamcast sold relative to how the 360 and PS3 are selling in their life cycle from each consoles launch.

As you can see NEITHER the PS3 or the Xb...
As others have pointed out Cnet is now owned by CBS; however, in the past they had been strongly allied with Ziff Davis Media (ZDnet), and some people still feel there is a strong alliance between Cnet and ZDnet. ZDnet are known henchmen of Microsoft as can be seen in this public announcement: http://www.ziffdavis.com/pr... As to how much influential bleed over there is it's hard to say, but I do tend to t...
I think the difference between GTA with a (M)ature rating, and Little Big Planet with a (E)veryone rating would make it obvious why Sony did this. Just because many people here fall into the earlier rating category does mean they can ignore their content rating. Admittedly I'm not familiar with the Qur’an or what was said, but if it is significant enough for them to pull the game it was more than likely for good reason.
I was telling some people that I've been suffering from LBPPBD (Little Big Planet Post Beta Depression). I didn't realize just how much fun I was having with the beta until I couldn't play it anymore. First thing Tuesday morning I'm hitting Best Buy to pick up my reserved copy.
The point behind plans like this is to ensure that the public are guaranteed a basic level of information access. Not every thing in life is or should be about making money.
