either you guys are REALLY sensitive, or REALLY young and naive.
i'm 30, and when i was a boy living with my mother, she regulated my gaming.
i say "regulated" in the sense that she wouldn't let me sit around in the house all day playing my Nintendo, and would encourage me to go outside and get some air.
as long as my homework was done, i could watch cartoons or play video games.
when i started to slack in my school grades, she'd t...
to say that. true story.
i beat Uncharted in 9 hours, and i beat Bioshock in 9 hours. *shrugs* another reason why time should almost NEVER be a factor in reviewing/evaluating a game (unless it's a sandbox game. those games should, at the LEAST, be 20 hour experience WITHOUT side missions).
my point still stands though, Uncharted and Bioshock were similar length games, both without MP, both AWESOME GAMES, and yet Uncharted was docked for no MP and short length, and Bioshock got a free pass.
i...
it's not a "bias" review. just inconsistent.
it's what happens when journalists forget about STANDARDS when reviewing their games.
as i stated in a post a few days ago, i review my games by 5 simple standards:
Controls, Graphics, Level Design, Fun Factor, and Story (when applicable).
the game doesn't have to 100% nail every single one of those factors to get a "Buy" recommendation from me, but i don't change my stance on ...
re-mastering of GTAIII, Vice City, and San Andreas ALL on 1 Blu Ray disc would be absolutely PHENOMENAL.
i still own San Andreas.
pump it up with the control scheme from GTAIV (which was quite the marked improvement of the control scheme's in the previous titles), and the obligatory trophy support, and i'd gladly pay $60 for that collection, even though the GoW collection is $40 (content is king, and the three past GTA games are RIFE with content).
i ima...
"PSThrii-Mote"
i still think "Playstation MOTION" works as a product name.
Uncharted 2 is undoubtedly a fantastic game.
there is no mixed opinions about the game.
from what i played of the beta a few months back, i'm inclined to agree.
i bought UC1 for the single player, and the same is going for UC2, but i have to admit that i'm really impressed with the MP offering from Naughty Dog. considering that, unlike Insomniac, Naughty Dog doesn't really have a history of MP game design, their first real outing in the genre is excellen...
but i find it absolutely HILARIOUS how suddenly nobody wants to compare an FPS to a 3rdPS when the shoe is on the other foot in terms of production values and quality.
when Gears of War 1 came out, there was no end to the comparisons between it and Resistance 1. graphics, gameplay, MP, etc. even though Gears is a 3rdPS, and Resistance is an FPS. everyone was so quick to declare Gears the "winner."
same thing happened when Gears 2 and Resistance 2 landed las...
the fact that DEDICATED Xbox 360 magazines/sites give more credit to PS3 exclusives than "multi-console" magazines/sites, and DEDICATED PS3 magazines/sites give more credit to 360 exclusives.
i've read plenty of reviews from Xbox ONLY sites that praise games like MGS4, LBP, even Resistance 2.
i've read plenty of reviews from PS3 ONLY sites that praise games like Gears of War, Mass Effect, and Fable.
those people are who you'd call GAMERS. they ...
end of story.
it goes both ways: not every 360 game can be a 9/10, and yet Edge seems to think they are.
not every PS3 game can be a 7/10, and yet Edge seems to think they are.
even law of averages would dictate that it's nearly impossible for every major release on the PS3 to be mediocre.
just like Bioware, Epic Games, Bungie, Rockstar North, etc, companies like Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, and Kojima Productions are known for thei...
Gears: ODST type games for the rest of the generation.
afterall, gamers have shown that they're willing to pay more for less, so why not capitalize on a popular brand by exploiting it's user base?
of course, that's not Epic's style, as they've ALWAYS been good to their fanbase, but the same can't be said for Microsoft.
i just can't see the next Gears game being on a new platform, especially if this generation is going to go on longer than the last (for M...
"hug"
boobs are always awesome. i have a feeling it's going to be edited for the US release, however, much like Indigo Prophecy was.
hopefully the ESRB will flush out enough sand in it's vagina to make sure Heavy Rain is presented as intended.
i'm married, so i don't need game boobs to have my fix, but i AM a guy, and the more boobs the merrier, even when they're video game boobs.
bare breasts aside, i'm REALLY looking forward to Heavy Rain. i absolutely loved...

i think the controller should be called "Playstation MOTION."
they're all about branding all their products with the Playstation moniker, so it makes sense to me.
Playstation MOTION designates it as tied to the Playstation family, and it informs the consumer that it's also capable of some sort of motion (further cons...
FFXIII is hitting the PS3 this holiday season, so why stuff the channel?
the PS3 + FFXIII release will drive the Japanese WILD this holiday season.
then, when things start to cool down around March in Japan, BAM, GT5 hits.
i don't know if God of War 3 is hitting Japan in March, so it's different games for different regions.
the Japanese are nuts about Gran Turismo. the US are nuts about God of War.
from a scheduling, business st...
of gaming media outlets will find a way to twist it so that MS wins.
i mean:
Project Natal (EyeToy for 360, which was basically maligned when it was on the PS2 is suddenly white gold now).
More Halo in the form of Halo: Reach
Left4Dead 2
Mass Effect 2
Splinter Cell: Conviction
and lots of multi-platform games
TOTALLY beat Sony's presser, which had:
PSP Go reveal
a sh*tton of new PSP games
Mod Nation ...
GT5 release date finally announced. slated for this December.
GT5 Bundle announced.
FFXIII bundle announced (or has it been already?).
A new RPG from Namco-Bandai exclusive to the PS3.
1 or 2 new first/second party exclusives.
More PSP Go/PSP announcements.
Maybe a new feature in an upcoming firmware release for PS3 (like PS2 emulation?).
that's about all i can think of.
look at all these obnoxious, untalented "musicians," that people fawn all over (i'm looking at YOU Kanye), and yet the quality of their - what the!!
"Yo, Yo, Figboy, Imma let you finish, but I just gotta say that Halo 3: ODST is best FPS of all time."
Damn you, Kanye West!!!
have championed the "kids are our future" banner?
usually, they condemn the latest thing the kids are into.
did you know the Tango was condemned back in the day?
reading?
movies?
music?
anything new and "foreign" to the older crowd is going to be considered "corruptive" to our youth when the youth loves it to a fault.
thing is, Obama is not condemning video games, only sayi...
