I trust G4TV, but they usually give all high-profile games a 5, especially exclusives.
Halo 3
Gears 1 & 2
Fable 2
BioShock
Mass Effect
Resistance 1 & 2
MGS4
LittleBigPlanet
Uncharted 2
KillZone 2
Ratchet & Clank Future: ToD
GTA IV (LOL)
CoD4
and others.
Not ALL of those games deserved a 5.
It's GameReactor, did you guys click the link expecting credibility?
Do you know why they're call GameReactor? They use games, to get a negative/angry reaction, which in turn gets them hits.
PS3: 37,000
Last-Gen PS2: 2,800
360: 2,600
:)
I guess they're just used to the 5-6 hour campaign that's standard for Xbox 360 and multiplatform games.
Wow! That's impressive coming from a major outlet like CBS News! Usually the major media likes to bash video games and make headlines by spinning facts. Remember Fox News's complete over reaction to the Mass Effect scene?
Too bad CBS News won't make a video review and put it on the actual TV news. That would be epic advertising! My dreams are grand...
I read the first couple parts but then realized this guy was dumb so I just skimmed to the bottom and looked at the bold writing on the way down before I closed the window on that lame list.
Name me one game that has gameplay similar to Heavy Rain.
Also, name me one game that gives you countless options that make every play-through's story and outcome vastly different.
And name me a game that's whole package is just like Heavy rain since according to you "it's all been done before".
I'll be awaiting your lame fanboy response since you can't give me a valid answer for the criteria I listed above.
R2 was still great, but it felt different than R: FoM. It felt like Insomniac tried to make R2 more like other popular games like CoD4.
Here are my reasons why R2 disappointed me:
At first I didn't mind the weapon wheel being removed but after a little bit, I was pissed at how much I missed it!
I don't like how they changed the pacing. Before the game was released they kept talking about how they improved the pacing to have ups and downs but that it rui...
Luckily, before I click on ANY N4G article, I read some of the comments first. That way, if I see a bunch of people talk about how bad an article is, I can just avoid it and not give the site hits. A bunch of people commented on the GS video review and warned of the spoilers, so I avoided it.
Thank you N4G community :)
Why is a scene from Uncharted: Drake's Fortune the main picture? Uncharted isn't even on the list and that level is actually good.
GT5 owns GTp and GTp owns Forza 3. LOL Forza 3's not even as good as a 1.5 year old demo.
GT5 > GTp > F3
Now we just have to wait for EDGE to finish thinking of a way to bring down U2's metascore below 90.
Glad to see he's classy when talking about their strong success. M$ bashes Sony every chance they get but Sony's usually classy. Notice M$ has barely been heard from since the PS3 Slim launched.
Seeing Jack Tretton always makes me want to hug him. He reminds me of a big soft teddy bear who I want to give a big hug. Look at that sweet, loving face and that friendly smile :) I mean that in a totally straight way BTW.
I completely agree!
People are thinking MW2 is going to be soooo amazing since it takes place on US territory, even though it's going to have a super short campaign like the first game and the graphics still look like ass! I thought Halo 3 looked better than it when they both came out but now Halo 3 looks like ass compared to everything else and MW2 still looks worse than Halo 3!
MW2 will get GotY from every big site cus they're worried if they give an exclusive Got...
And that's coming from GameTrailers of all sites!
GameDaily says no snow footprints? I just played the demo a little bit ago and my character made snow footprints. That was in a MULTIPLAYER DEMO and typically the mutiplayer aspect of a game has slightly worse graphics that the single player, same thing goes for a demo vs the final game.
My respect for Activision just went down even more. If it goes down any farther, it'll be sharing a room with Turn 10.
Reminds me of how in Gears 2 you can take 50 bullets to the head and when you finally go down you can lose enough blood to fill a swimming pool and still survive as long as a buddy comes over and taps on your shoulder.
At least Gears 2 had co-op to help you get through that dragged-on boring campaign. Fable II had co-op too but you couldn't even bring your own character to your friends world. You just took the form of some random jackass and tagged along with your friend or had a...
A future of lies, deceit and poor quality.
