It more than competes in graphics, it has some of the best around. I can't wait to see more.

Yeah, I fully agree with you. I have yet to play a shooter on consoles that has the scale and the dynamic unpredictability as Halo 3 does, and Reach seems to take that to a whole new level. The graphics look amazingly good and all the gameplay enhancements sound fantastic. Reach is going to be something special.
There might not be a difference to someone that is blind, but those of us with two working eyes can see an improvement quite clearly. The comparison could have been better, but even based on that small sample of comparison shots it is still easy to see that it has been improved quite a bit.
It looks better without a doubt. Not much longer to wait...:)
I've gone back and looked at articles from then to see this extreme Xbox 360 bias or slant that this site supposedly had and I really don't see it. It seems pretty much like it is now.. Sony fans attacking anything that isn't a Playstation and fans of other consoles defending why those other consoles are good.
They always end up feeling dumb, because they don't think before they post. Just like the guys saying "wait til Versus comes out, then you will see the true power of the PS3", but when it comes out and doesn't look any better than FFXIII they will look stupid so they will start making their typical excuses.
Well, if you want to talk the real numbers. The 360 has 414 games rated 70 or better. The PS3 only has 281 games rated 70 or better. The 360 has provably more good games than the PS3.
Don't worry, I used to be a naive PS3 fanboy just like you, until I got my 360. Then I realized I was a complete moron all that time and was saying things because I didn't know better.
Mirror's Edge still had less screen tearing, better anti-aliasing and better frame rate on the 360. I compared both versions myself-- my friend's copy to my gamefly copy--and the 360 version was better.
Also, Assassin's Creed 2 was also found to be better on the 360. But it was better than the first Assassin's Creed, which was much worse on the PS3.
But they really don't. The constant harping of them trying to make PS3 exclusives seem better than they are is partly because they feel bad that the 360 nearly always performs better on multiplatform games, which let's face it make up the biggest percentage of games. On top of this the 360 also has some really nice looking exclusives of its own.
You can't play Halo Reach on the PC. You can't play Halo 3 or ODST on the PC either.
Saying those games are childish is simply ignorant. There are a certain amount of children playing every game, but you might not notice it as much if there aren't as many people playing the game online or if the game is a single player game. Those games you mentioned all are very successful, so there are lots of people of all ages playing them. But I still hear mostly adults playing them.
I feel the same way about people that didn't own an Xbox last gen. Some of the best games of last generation were found on the Xbox. My gaming wouldn't have been anything the same without the Xbox.
Maybe he wasn't directing it at you. Maybe he was just giving an example of a stereotype.
But you have to admit PS3 fanboys do it way more. Basically saying "I don't care if there are ten times more PS3 fanboys in 360 articles as 360 fanboys in PS3 articles" and trying to excuse it by saying "well, both sides do it" sounds pretty illogical to me. Because that is basically what you are doing.
Look at all the 360 articles, they are filled with 50% or more pure PS3 fanboys. However, when you look in the PS3 articles there are maybe 5% 360 fanboys. ...
You are an idiot. The 360 has a better lineup this year than the PS3, and how would you know anything about 2011, 2012, and so on? Do you think you are a damn psychic? Yeah right.
Oh, and Alan Wake does look damn good. You sound butt hurt.
Why do you guys have to bring up and criticize the 360 even in PS3 articles? I don't think 360 fans want to come into these articles, but when you specifically call them out like that or attack the 360, then what do you expect?
Then you say things that are completely ridiculous like "God of War 2 looks better than many 360 games", which is absolute nonsense. GOW 2 looks like a PS2 game. A good PS2 game, but still a PS2 game.
Talk trash all you want, but ...
As if hack n slash games aren't repetitive. Jeez, do you even think before you post?
Which games look better? Look at the lighting, the character models, the textures, all of it looks stunning.
I'd like to know which games you think look jaw dropping, because if this didn't look impressive to you I know there are no other console games that would look impressive to you. Your standard must be Crysis on high settings or something. Even then this game still looks good.
Yeah but he has a point about not many 360 fans trolling the GOW3 articles, but lots of PS3 fanboys trolling the Halo Reach articles.
@travelguy2k
I agree that the idea of Natal slaughtering Sony is ridiculous hyperbole, but you need to seriously check your facts. The 360 was not at 9 million when the PS3 launched, it was at around 6 million. Now the gap is about 7 million. So, the 360 has actually managed to widen the gap.
Microsoft announced they had sold 6 million consoles at the end of October 2006 and the PS3 launched in the middle of November, so the number was probably a little over 6 mil...
