E3 09' HERE WE COME!!!!
Even as a Xbox fan..I know that the system will do great this year..but it won't be just for these game listed. So just like we could care less about most of the announced PS3 exclusives..why should PS3 owner care about these...but here is my perspective..
MASS EFFECT 2...MUST BUY times 1000..absolutely loved the first one..the second will sell like hotcakes
Alan Wake..it's like Heavy Rain..no one knows enough to make a judgement..cut scenes don't mean a thing..I...
IT's Resident Evil 4 with co-op..so let it go with the controls..they gave a taste of the first level..similiar to the first level of Resident evil 4...same controls? YUP! Get over it..boo hoo..I hated them in RE4 and loved the game...The first level of RE4 wasn't even a spec of sand of the entire experience of that GOTY title..and this demo was the same way..in fact we all saw it at E3..and who was overly impressed then..who cares..Capcom..this title..and the amount of develpoment time..mean...
I'm getting it..I thought the first one was a 'guilty pleasure' too..I think the idea of removing it from the corny street cliches and making it over the top should be fun..the critics were ridiculously hard..and some of the comments made in em' were borderline insulting..but I loved the whole Eminem, Dr. Dre and Whoo kid being in the game..the purchasing of mixtapes and songs was actually a good reward concept..but despite ALL the crazy negative press..the game did Little Big Planet numbers....
So let me get this straight..the article say Microsoft may be doomed because PS3 is releasing Killzone 2 this year and God of War 3 next year? NOT EVEN CLOSE..Reality check..K2 is a great game..may even sell well for PS3..good for sony..but it still won't matter much to the 360.
Microsoft is in the DRIVER'S seat and in control of it's own destiny at this point...It accomplished what it was supposed to do..have a successful holiday season..because that is when the real system nu...

Game is going to be huge..Just the fact that the demo is giving you so much shows that they believe in the game. Who cares if computer fans want to play it or not. Its a CONSOLE game for the masses..Ensemble should be saluted for attempting a game like this from an established franchise. This could end up being the sleeper hit of the year. No one is expecting an RTS to do numbers..Ensemble already knows the biggest barrier to this type of gaming is the huge learning curve. They've said it tim...
People say anything to discredit games...

I have nothing against trophies..but PS3 can keep em'. Achievements are perfection. Even if I had a PS3...I would only use it for exclusives..It's far more than a score like some of the past comments suggest..Achievements like Xbox Live are the reason my collection doesnt end up in some Game Stop used bin..Achievments are the reason I have beat more games than I have on any system and generation...Achievements are what made me play Call of Duty at the hardest level..or made me play Fable 2 th...
Lol..an article built around bashing Gears of War 2 for getting good reviews..umm..we get it
Tee..you are speaking to the choir...but as we've seen in the past..Integrity usually never wins when confronted with the power of the dollar. Am I saying it's rigged? Not at all..the game may earn every bit of it great reviews. Will there be ONE reviewer who got the press kit form Sony to actually give the game less than a 9.5?...doubtful. In fact I saw one of the early scanned reviews and it was almost as if the reviewer was trying convince himself the game earned his score. I wanted to see...
THIS IS THE ONE....
Look I'm not going to do a Halo history lesson..the record speaks for itself..whether PS3 owners are in denial or not..I bought Halo day one on the Original Xbox (it was the only reason to buy the giant black box at the time)..and years later..to witness that spectacle the day Halo 3 launched was an amazing experience..a game that crossed the awareness level of every other genre..bottomline..it SOLD systems and is the cornerstone of Xbox..ask Bungie..they t...
Greatest Band Ever!!!
Loved the Death Magnetic Album download..loved Rock Band's downloads...Now a FULL GAME as Metallica...Amazing...
I was sold at Orion and Disposable Heroes..the only other thing that could've made this amazing for me..would have been Motorbreath and Four Horsemen..But beggars can't be choosers..just the fact that we get to play this game as Metallica is amazing...
Wonder what the Slayer song will be...salutes the Suicidal Tend...
The Hate on Halo 3 is hilarious...and YES it drove system sales...Xbox owners couldn't WAIT for that game to drop..Gears was a suprise..it had a great E3 debut..and the buzz was through the roof...Everyone screams MGS4 and Little Big Planet..but the install base PS3 ALREADY has doesn't even buy those games in droves...K2 is the closest thing Sony has to a true sysyem seller..period..this is that moment..maybe the stars align..but the internet is the internet..fanboys will spin everything onli...
I've never been an RTS guy..just bought Battle for Middle earth 2..just to get ready for this..I'm suprised at how fun that game is..Always had a bunch of friends who were addicted to the Age of Empires series..so I'm looking forward to seeing what Ensemble can do for this franchise.can't wait for the demo on the 5th
Article is mostly the same fanboy fodder that Anti-Xbox 360 bloggers put up everyday..but the truth is if Killzone 2 doesnt do numbers..meaning sales..then YES..houston we a have a problem..because it means that no matter how big of a install base..PS3 owners are more content buying Dark Knight in droves..instead of Sony's 'AAA' releases..does it mean death..nah..concern..hell yes..
We've had 3 great years with Xbox 360..and i'm sure it'll go at least 3 years more..the install base is outstanding now..and it will continue despite Sony best efforts to paint themselves as the only console that can last in this market. The ground has shifted in the gaming market whether any consoles companies care to admit it..the war of words has ZERO impact on the consumer. In my opinion if we are still only playing the current systems in 7 years..something went HORRIBLY wrong with this g...
LMAO @ the the amount of people in the last couple of days who are clearly making up stories to somehow bash Xbox Live..the weakness of both of the articles on the subject is they seem to forget that it's a CLEAR choice..you DO NOT have to play with camera enable games..if you see something you don't like..for example the initial complaint of the the guy who saw porn with his kid..turn your T.V. OFF immediately...or leave the game...it's that simple..but the best part is the fake posters who...
SWEEEET! finished the original story..running around grabbing achievements that I missed..game is ridiculously huge! Can't wait for the new content..I honestly agree with IGN on the GAME OF THE YEAR decision..Between Fable 2 and Fallout 3..it's been a good month for DLC content..both should keep my RPG fix occupied until Star Ocean 4 drops next month..
Wow..I didn't know it was coming this soon..I beat the original storyline...still trying to get all of the side missions completed..game is ridiculously huge..can't wait for the new content...LIFE IS GOOD!! Lol..at Planet Xbox asking people to really care about their 'to buy or not to buy' review of the DLC..like anything is keeping us from purchasing this
