And PS3 slim sold 1 million units in M$'s territory in 1 week :)
34 to HAZE WTF?! That game deserved a 3.4! At the time HAZE came out, I was a hardcore PS3 fanboy (now I'm neutral) and even I thought it was terrible!
Uncharted 2's 37 is good for a very western game.
A game with a completely broken multiplayer does not deserve GotY. I was looking for to Gears 2 as much as anybody but the whole thing was a disappointment. The campaign had a lot of parts that dragged on WAAAAY to long! The underground part was painful. Not to mention the multiplayer is STILL broken! I can't believe how many reviewers gave it a 9. Completely broken multiplayer is something that's subjective -- it's objective. No reviewer can go "I really like how I can't play online&quo...
I remember when LittleBigPlanet got a 9.5 from IGN all the 360 fanboys flooded the article yelling "FLOP!" and "LittleBigFlop!". If 9.5 is a flop, what is the 9 that ODST got O_o
Uncharted 1 was good so it shouldn't hurt the sequel's sales like KZ1 did to KZ2. Shortly after KZ2 came out, I asked a lot of people at my work place if they played or are planning on it and every single person said that they're not interested because they figure since the first one ...
I was really interested in Alan Wake before this past E3 but now that I've seen the actual game, I'm not impressed at all and my hype meter went down to around zero. The game looks incredibly underwhelming especially considering how grand it was going be according to Remedy. I literally LOL'd at how cheesy the game seemed and how the mediocre "creepy" moments were presented. Not to mention the flashlight looked bad and it was clearly a rip off of the Resident Evil laser-sight aiming...
You said: "Only a videogame would get people upset"
I said the same thing in my previous post cus it's so true; glad we agree. The media loves to attack video games since they're popular with the young crowd and parents are concerned so it brings in eyeballs. Sadly, TV is all about ratings and websites are all about hits even when it's news. That's why CNN has started covering celebrity gossip -- it's so popular. Popular = Viewers which in return and the more viewers, t...
Why does the Race Card always have come into play?
Ah, the Race Card always shows it's face.
Where were the complaints when the White House was obliterated by a laser in the movie Independence Day? I was around back then and there weren't any. The media feels the need to trash video games as if the end of man kind will be due to a virtual date in GTA IV.
I can see the 'analysts' now: "Watching the US be harmed will ruin our children and make them think terrorism is OK and they'll all become suicide bombers!". It'll be the same people who were crazy over childre...
That was supposed to get me excited?
There's was an article about a month ago had pictures of the Jaks Pacific toy factory where they were being made. It even showed the goggles fresh off the production line inside the factory so it was obviously a legit story. So, yeah, this has been known for about a month.
Jaks Pacific makes action figures and stuff...
"Bu, bu, bu 9 gigz iz w4y enuff spaze!!!"
That's why almost all 360 games are 6-8 hours and PS3 games are on average much, much longer; sometimes even double! We've seen amazing games like KZ2 and MGS4 maximize the 50gig space on the current dual-layer Blu-Ray so imagine what could be done with 320 gigs!
Where's Aaron Greenberg to tell us Blu-Ray is a useless flop and a huge mistake by Sony? I still smile every time I think of that interview :)
Because these screenshots have been released to show how good the game looks which mean that they picked the best looking pic and showed them off. These best looking shots still look like ass so when I play the actual game I'll see all the bad looking stuff they hid from the public.
So, since what they think is the best, still looks bad, what will the stuff that they think is bad look like?
LOL! This games looks just like CoD4! Where are the improvements? It's been 2 years! I guess the smoke looks a little better. Let's see a first person screenshot of a wall semi-close up to see if they fixed the issue where a wall turns into a pile of pixels when you get within 10 feet. Uncharted 1 still looks better than this and Uncharted 2 makes this look like GoldenEye 64.
I stopped playing CoD4 after I was completely fed up from these two constant scenarios:
1) ...

Every other review has said Uncharted 2 has perfect controls, intuitive menus and impeccable design, yet GameTrailers gives it only an 8.9 in design. Every other review also said Uncharted 2's story is amazing but GT only gives it a 9.3. In fact, every other review has said Uncharted 2 is amazing in all areas! But GT always finds some way to bash a PS3 exclusive.
And for the 360 fanboys who say "Blah blah a 9.3 is a good score what are you complaining about?!", even tho...
I come to N4G to see if there's any new GT5, MW2, GoW3, Heavy Rain or Lost Planet 2 info but the majority of N4G's "articles" are stupid gaming blogs.
Cus we really need 5 articles arguing about N4G's longevity. I'm kind of starting to miss the good old doom and gloom FUD articles...
I love how this idiot writer tried to downplay Home by saying only 1/3 of PS3 users use it. 1/3 of about 24 million users is 8 million which is still pretty damn good. How many people use M$ and Nintendo's social networking applic... oh, that's right, they don't even have one.
This rubbish article doesn't deserve hits so here it is in it's (poor) entirety:
"Y'know, I just realized I've had a new op-ed column on IGN for two months now, and I haven't beaten up on Sony yet. That's kind of a break from tradition. Let's be honest. Right from the clowny PlayStation 3 launch (and I'm betting the morons who earned criminal records for brawling in the waiting lines feel extra stupid now) to the rapid-fire attrition of new SKUs, quietly vaporwared backwards...
They don't have any holiday exclusives to advertise so they might as well advertise old games.
