...But sales don't matter, remember!!! At least that's what some fanboys keep saying. Last I heard the game was over 2 million and it's only been a couple of months. Is that bad all of a sudden?

Crysis 2 did what it was supposed to do and that was generate interest in Cry engine 3. Crysis 2 is easily one of the best looking and playing games this gen. It's unfortunate that the multi-player is not popular but it looks very promising for Crytek going f...

Sounds like a fanboy's wishful thinking getting the best of him. If it was true, it would of been all over the web long ago. I think the last paragraph summed it up...

" it seems there are more unforeseeable problems being caused by Microsoft’s decision to stick with the rather limited DVD format for their Xbox 360 discs. It has not been until recently that this poor decision has started to really cause problems for consumers, but now that it has started...

It's the beginning of the E3 hype train for Gears of war. They are basically setting up the full trailer that is going to release next week. They will probably release more teasers leading up the final trailer.

Whoever this kid is...trying to discredit what Epic is doing obviously is clueless and Gears is not the only game that has used such tactics. It's called building up interest, of course you have to be a fan of the franchise which I doubt this fanbo...

Looks like the pre-E3 hype train is about to start rolling. This is always a great time of year as all the pubs and devs start scrambling for some air time to showcase their IPs.

On Topic, the sneak peak looks epic. Marcus definitely has some resemblance to the character in the Samaritan tech demo...well, the nose anyways. Other than that, the Samaritan guy looks like Liam Nelson.

A game like Dance central would do the trick but might make you look silly which, depending how she thinks might work for you or ruin your chances. ;D

Whatever you do, don't get any fitness game for her as it might inadvertently imply she needs a work out. :(

It's been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well then a video is worth infinitely more. The video CLEARLY shows that they are identical without any real differences, not that it matters in this case.

Other than the amount of discs, there isn't much to compare. PS3 requires a massive install and the 360 requires you to swap discs at different points...it's a wash. Buy it for your favorite system and leave it at that.

Well, I loved Far Cry 2 and funny enough, I have been playing ( 5th or 6th time ) it this week. It`s up to you how you want to play. Change the time of day on the fly and a fantastic map(s) to explore. One of the best looking games this gen as well. Can`t wait for Far Cry 3.

On Topic, I have no idea why he is so angry about LA Noire. I haven`t played it but it does seem from the various video`s I've seen to do a little too much hand holding.

Howard Stringer really needs to stop talking.

"It's the beginning, unfortunately, or the shape of things to come," said Mr. Stringer. "It's not a brave new world; it's a bad new world," he said

This guy really needs a press agent. The whole world is collapsing if you believe him.

...of when Apple tried to say that the problems the then new Apple phone was having were the same as RIMs Blackberries.

I understand his frustration but they really need a better way of dealing with the press as well as critics.

It's going to be the biggest and best E3 this gen, that I am sure of.

Nintendo really has me pumped for their new machine. With crazy rumors the thing will be at least 50% more powerful than either 360 or PS3 has got me excited, tho I should say, Nintendo is notoriously cheap when it comes to these things...the 3ds is a perfect example. Still, Mario in 1080p and 60fps will be a sight to behold and could easily steal the show.

Sony has had n...

That is the way you close a trilogy. Gears Of War is already a classic and Gears 3 will be one for the ages. I'm in for the CE...can't wait.

I guess it would depend where you set up the xbox. The Halo one looks incredible and would fit in nicely in a bedroom built on a Halo theme. Number 10 looks the cleanest and would work nicely in dark and serious set up.

Lionhead and MGS have been burning the midnight oil trying to squeeze as much performance from the 6 year old 360. Mega meshes was a demo based on some of this work. the cartoony look was built around the Milo demo but the breakthroughs that MGS and Lionhead discovered have already been passed on to developers making games on 360. The new disc format had something to do with all this as well.

I like the support for Kinect and it's 10+ million strong sales but I would like a few more games for the guys like me that like using the " normal " controller.

I understand they have to support Kinect but where is the other development? I hope E3 has more for the hardcore that gave Microsoft/360 the 50+ million in sales they are currently enjoying.

BTW, 343 studio's has said no other dev will work on a Halo title but them so I'...

Interestingly, I think that the appearance of Halo 3 at 20th position is an indication of newer console owners buying 360 during the PSN downtime. Black ops still top 5 could also be interpreted that way.

BTW, is there no actual numbers assigned to the sales, if so could you please post them and on what system to give a clearly idea of how the games are selling over there.

PSN has been down for a month. Brink was being advertised as an on line game that could be played offline with bots but most didn't know that.

It's of little consequence since the 360 has the highest numbers of sales on almost all multi-plats. That's not a secret and has been that way from the beginning of this gen.

Kinect as of March had SOLD 10+ million. At one point it was moving 130,000+ a day for an entire month. Bulletstorm, C...

This company has massive profits ripping people off...it's criminal. They regularly sell damaged discs hoping you don't return them. Broken, used and then refu...

Splinter cell conviction sold very well and I believe sold more than any of the other SC games.

Assassin Creed killed off the Prince Of Persia franchise.

At the end of the day, Ubi-soft is losing money because of bad management. They have a great library of games that have disappeared. Where is Graw, 4 years later and now pushed to 2012. You destroy a community when you take to long to put out a game. Where's Rainbow Six? I'm alive has ...
