Killzone 2 wasn't overrated. It didn't get anywhere near the hype that Halo games regularly receive. Just becaue it got decent reviews doesn't make it overrated.

Why no love for EyePet? Does a game have to be 'hardcore' to get noticed? Tch.

EyePet should also be on this list. Seriously. It was really, really cool. It's the first game for the Eye Toy that was actually fun and worth buying.

About bloody time a retailer threw its two cents in. Until now, they've all been keeping schtum. Hopefully GAME, JB Hi-Fi and the rest will follow suit.

Hannah Montana fan. LOL

It's either that, or the author listens to Billy Ray Cyrus' music. That's even worse!

Can memory seriously get any cheaper? I feel sorry for PC ethusiasts in the early 90s - those guys had it tough.

Seriously, did nobody think about the dubious connection before the product rolled out? The only explanation is that they *wanted* the extra buzz. Now every MadTV fan knows about the iPad, for example.

Ah, it ain't that bad. It brings to mind a notepad, which ties in with the whole e-book thing. Kinda. Okay, it pretty much sucks.

You're missing my point. Both GoW and Lost Planet have serious storylines. Combining its characters into one game is therefore a bit stupid. It'd be like if Jack Bauer from 24 showed up in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Point taken. But that's an obvious gimmick/party game. I'm talking about games with a serious setting or storyline, like Lost Planet.

It's the principle of the thing. It's like when George Lucas added slapstick robots and farting monsters into the background of Star Wars. It cheapens the mythos.

Does anyone else hate genre-crossing characters (not to be confused with gender-crossing characters)? The worst was probably Darth Vader in Soul Calibre III. That was just rubbish.

Sony has pretty much ALL of the exclusives. Project Natal will most likely fail.

Obviously, a game has to be popular for it to be overrated. The first paragraph goes out of its way to explain that none of the games are *bad*. They were just over hyped (i.e. - not bad, but not perfect).

Those are the specs for the laptop model, which is a bit harder to build from scratch.

To be fair, those are Australian dollars, so a more accurate price would be $2700 or so. But yeah, that's still pretty mental.

Regardless of where your loyalties lie, you have to admit - that headline is pretty funny.

Uh, yes. Yes we do. It will stop perfectly legitimate games like Predator vs. Aliens getting banned for a start. We need an R rating for games just as much as we need one in the cinema.
