CRank: 5Score: 8150

Sony must have realized that having PS3's used as super computers was not good for their business model. Those machines will likely not be used for gaming software consumption, which is where they have to make their money back because they sold the system at a loss. That may even have been more of a reason for them to do it than security issues. Regardless, this doesn't really have any implications for any other features, as it presented a unique problem. It's far more likely that we will fro...

Is that it doesn't clarify whether or not it's a girl gamer, or just some girl (which in the male chauvinistic world of video games would often be regarded, somewhat sexistly, as someone who isn't interested and not good at games). If we're talking about actual girl gamers, of which I know quite a few, there's no reason why they wouldn't have the same or a similar top 5 list to any male gamer that I know. If we're talking about just some girl, that could vary wildly based on whether or not t...

But I can't help but notice that 13 of the 15 games are on PS3, and 7 of them are PS3 exclusives... I don't know if that's due to a bias on the part of the author, but I'm surprised that a flame war hasn't started. I'm proud of you N4G, maybe this petty rivalry has started to come to an end.

That it's a list of battles from this generation, right?

Sony and Microsoft have shown that we're not really dealing with just gaming consoles any longer, we're dealing with fully blown, internet capable Entertainment Consoles. On Live doesn't have a blu-ray player, it doesn't connect to your in house media servers, and it doesn't have TiVo capabilities, it also doesn't have the motion sensing technologies which are going to become the new standard of control.

The real bottom line though, there would be no on live if it weren't for co...

If you really wanted to know the answer to that question, then you could have looked it up. You're online, you have the whole internet at your disposal.

You should have been able to deduce from the way that Happy phrased his statement that it obviously is in HD.

So, the way you phrased that question makes you sound like either you're a wee bit dumb, or you asked a sarcastic rhetorical question because you believed that MGS wasn't in HD and were trying to rub it in Ha...

Just because of the Gabe Newell thing. That's Hilarious. Also, I agree, I believe Cronus to be bigger than Gaia, plus Cronus is more of an evil character. Gaia wasn't evil per se.

A. At least with Dragon Age, Bioware has been far more daring than any other developer, period.

B. The "female" character that you have sex with in ME1 is not actually a female at all. Sure she looks like a typical female of our species, but she's actually a hermaphrodite. On that level, I kind of respect them more because it means that both the male and female versions of commander shepherd are actually having sex with a tranny of sorts. Problem is, most people aren't ...

Just as you can point out that not everyone who is against Obama isn't necessarily for Bush, I can point out that not everyone who supports the president or is at least politically aligned with him, worships him. You would seem to have political views that are aligned with perhaps Reagan of Bush 41, that doesn't thereby mean I think you think those people were the messiah. Conservatives try to hide behind this idea that everyone worships Obama blindly to discredit their support of him. I don'...

Fox Local News and Fox News Channel. Fox News Channel is notoriously conservative and constantly rails against the president. I'm not saying that they should or shouldn't be, I'm just saying it's not up for debate. Anna Koiman and Mark Mathis are local news reporters, they are not on FNC. Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Neil Cavuto and everyone else from Fox News Channel have no love for the president. When people say Fox News, they are talking about FNC, not your local fox news. I ju...

FYI, the video comment is pretty funny, check it out.

Just because there are white people who voted for Obama doesn't mean there weren't racist white people (or racist asian people, or racist hispanic people, or even self-loathing racist black people) who voted against him. As a matter of fact, there were probably a few racists who voted for him (it's a two way street). Just because we have a black president doesn't mean we've reached the end of racism. Saying that is actually i...

They've clearly lost their minds over there. What do you expect from a site that has consistently worked to destroy what little journalistic integrity they ever had?

Controversy is measured by the reaction of a broad public, and not by one person's dissent. To deem something controversial is not to critique it per se, it's not even to disagree with it, but to note that there have been a large number of critical responses to it, or that it deviates greatly from the average. Though not wholly objective, it's not simply a matter of this person or this site's opinion whether something is controversial. It's quite indisputable that Jim Sterling's reviews are c...

I knew it was sterling as soon as I saw the score. He's just an attention whore. Own it, love it, only taking a break to play GOWIII. True, the voice acting is dodgy at times, but people exaggerate how annoying Vanille is, and underplay the truly annoying Snow.

There's no need to bash this game jut because it's multi-platform. It looks like it would be a lot of fun, and yes was probably influenced by Team Ico's work, but they probably had it in the works before TLG was revealed. That said, though the title of this article is a bit inflammatory, don't forget that it's a PS3 site that said it, and they just put it that way because they have high hopes for the game, not because they honestly believe this will challenge TLG. Yes, there are obvious simil...

What you and everyone else here seem not to realize is that if MS or Sony bought Epic, then epic would lose half of it's value as they're greatest value is in developing the most widely used multi-platform engine. If the engine is no longer fully multi-plat then they can't license it for anywhere near its current value, and since CryEngine 3 is widely regarded as superior, everyone will just switch, running epic out of the business. Basically, if Cryengine becomes the new standard cross-platf...

For all of the various reasons that everyone has pointed out here. This article is clearly just a fanboy pipe dream based on one games exclusivity that fails to take into account the real value and scope of Epic. If MS bought Epic it would actually significantly decrease the value of the company as they would no longer be able to develop cross platform engines, because even if MS allowed them to, Sony might bar them from publishing (which would be a smart move because it would render the purc...

Is a bigger leap forward. If it's really good, this could become a new standard control scheme. The thing is that a lot of FPS fans complain about the lack of precision you get from a controller as compared to a mouse, using move is a lot more like using a mouse. If they get enough hardcore gamers to switch, and people start reporting a real accuracy advantage thanks to Move, console gaming could be changed forever in a way that the wiimote wasn't able to really follow through on.

PS3 is both your game system and your blu-ray, so what else are you gonna plug in other than an Xbox. If your Xbox is plugged in, but not your PS3, why wouldn't you just get the Xbox version? Or you could just get up and switch out the plugs maybe.

I haven't had a single experience of screen tearing on my 1080p t.v. so looks like some folks need to upgrade.
