This is the way of the new journalistic world. With millions of blogs and tweets and all of these other ways to grab people's attention, news is in direct competition with other forms of entertainment. There was a paradigm shift that made real news second to tabloid journalism. You only need to look at the nightly news "teases" to see prime examples of that. HHG is just following the consistent and successful (unfortunately) mold that was forged by just about every news outlet known...

I just wonder how "fair" it might be to compare a game running on PC, which we know is probably high end, to a console version. I would really wait on the Brink comparisons until we actually see it running on the consoles. It looks bright and vibrant and the overall feel is somewhat reminiscent of Borderlands (IMO). Character designs are a bit like the old Timesplitters feel with exaggerated features. I am excited for it. But, I am still perplexed as to why so many people don't unde...

I think people get used to IP's that they are familiar with. They know what to expect. Really, all that they want is a bigger, better version of the original. I want a mixture of the old tried and true and the new!!!

If HAZE added better graphics, physics, level design, framerate, character design, optimization, plot, progression, and online...it would be....A WHOLE NEW GAME!!!*LOL* Yeah...HAZE was THAT BAD!!!

It is kinda "meh" as teh kidz on the interwebs say!!!*LOL* It depends on whether you are tethered to the idea of having GREAT controls. Without the second analog nub, the camera takes some getting used to. The assassinations are more like small boss battles. It is not anywhere near as populated with people as the PS3 or 360 versions. One plus is that you can merge data from the PSP to give new weapons and money to the PS3 save data from the PSP version. Other than that, it is somewh...

Wii sports would be the greatest online title of all time...saying as though it has sold the most units of a game to this date...if the Wii had a competent online infrastructure!?!?! Whatever!!! HALO has sold crazy numbers...and therefore is highly likely to have MORE players playing. Couple that with the fact that the 360 has always been sold and marketed as a "hardcore shooter's" console. It makes perfect sense that HALO was the most played game online...up until COD4!!!

It was HYPED to all bedamned!!! It was the flagship for what PS3 could do with the FPS genre. That naturally breeds HATE!!!
It didn't sell as it was intended, although had it been advertised with might of this current advertising push, it would be a hard ticketit to find. When it didn't net the type of sells that people thought it would...well hate from all sides started flowing. Plus if you didn't bother with the first Killzone...as a lot of people didn't...the story might have left yo...

Any takers???*LOL* Sorry bout that job thing...I'm in the same boat...and just holding on to my games. They are my solace AWAY from the harsh realities of the real world...best of luck!!!

The physics were crazy...the AI was extremely smart on higher difficulties. Level design was also excellent! But...as I always say...to each his own...GAME ON!!!

BUT...IMO I felt like MW and MW2 were a collection of huge, over-the-top set pieces held together by a modest plot. Although KZ2 didn't have the Hollywood, summer blockbuster feel to the set pieces...they WERE more cohesive (IMO) than MW2 or MW. I'm a Killzone on the PS2 holdover, so I can relate the previous story high points to the war that is currently waging on Helgan. That helps the immersion factor and the story progression. I liked all 3 of the games...but fell in love with the feel of...

I have selfishly ignored KZ2 for far too long!!! I had to get caught up beating Batman, Borderlands, UC2, and now trying to polish of MW2!!! But, maybe during the holidays I will get that chance!!!

This is the one chance on this generation of consoles where the game IS the story. Interactive to the highest degree!!! Why watch when you can be in DIRECT control of the story!?! Oh...well...to each his own...GAME ON!!!

Also...from comments on his blog...they were preparing for the beta stages last month!!! Can't wait...gonna be incredible!!! Maybe, just maybe...Ultimate Revenge is just not mature enough to handle a game that doesn't force you into sensation overload and instead takes a more cerebral approach to gaming!?!? Just a thought!!!

Is an argument fallacy anyway. It is basically arguing from the point of authority or superiority. It is a common argument when someone thinks that they know more than you because they are in a specific position. When, in fact, you may be just as informed...and NOT in that position. There are times where that may be beneficial...like being a lawyer or doctor. Most of us are not equipped with the education to argue with those professionals. However, in points of subjectivity or opinion it real...

I'm sure that a lot of people have driven the course. Question is how many racing sim devs would devote that kind of energy into getting accuracy in their game??? I know one...and he will get my money hands down!!!

That is why he stated that "this is where we TEST the physics"!?!?!? There will be tweaks to the physics up until this game is ready to go gold...so hold off on the judgment. I trust that a person that has actually DRIVEN the real track will provide the most accurate experience possible!!!

Ghostbusters was not nearly as horrible as the reviews made it sound. It was kinda short, but fun nonetheless. Absolutely a must play for anyone that is a fan of the movies. The story really felt like it could have been the next movie. Script was pretty good for a game. Even the online had some entertainment.
