You are asking those that gave a 9 to agree with those that gave a 6 in some sort of "middle-ground" like 7.5? Xbox fanboys speak volumes of their intelligence when they say they chose their console based on metacritic and not on features (they are the ones that cite Metacritic most of the time, just ask the Mart and others). Someone can prefer Devil May Cry to Ninja Gaiden simply because he likes the style a lot better, regardless of metascores.
Anyway, the only excl...
Halo, Fable, Halo 2, Morrowind, Jade Empire, Riddick, KOTOR and KOTORII, are not exclusive, not to mention that they were better on PC. Of course, like a true Xbox fanboy, you base their quality of metacritic and NOT off features; these games had better graphics on PC, ran better, had adjustable specifications, and usually aditional content. Halo was much better on PC considering it had a Level Editor and you could play a Zelda mod which was the coolest thing to ever hit a Halo franchise. ...
You can count all the good games available on Xbox with the amount of fingers you have, including multiplatform games. As for exclusives, a single hand will do. PC had better versions of most of them anyway. So yeah, of course you do not need Xbox 360 to be BC with Xbox since you have either played them all, or your current PC can run them (who doesn't have a PC anyway?).
However, if that was coming from any other brand, be it Nintendo, Sony, Sega, or what not, any gamer would ...
The fact that you only blame Sony fanboys (not Xbox fanboys, Nintendo fanboys, Mac fanboys, General Electric fanboys, Burger King fanboys, etcetera) speaks volumes of your intelligence. And of course, who you are siding with or at least who you will never side with.
And by the way, if Shoe is not as a sell out as you are saying, then why did he just admit to put the "Big Games" because they sell more? Basically, a sellout. He sacrificed editorial integrity in favor of...
To sum it up, you call Sony fanboys "pathetic". That's funny though, since you "really hope" that PS3 fails. Who's pathetic now?
BTW, you seem to be new here. Welcome, the open zone is that way... --->
2 is Too High
Gears of War 2 is NOT coming to PC since Cliff said it won't. Also, Halo 3 will NEVER reach PC according to Microsoft. Don't be Naive. Then again, I know you are not Naive, you are just a fanboy trying to do some damage control. That's why I don't believe anything you say.
Oh, and I am Maverick? Where is the proof of that? Don't be paranoid. Hell I've seen Maverick rant in favor of Microsoft sometimes and another for Sony, I am always consistent so that doesn't make much sense....
Keep up the good work, Gam and Mart. Surely insulting someone's IQ (as if it mattered) proves them wrong, especially when it comes from one-sided guys such as yourselves (especially 30-something year olds like Mart). That reminds me of each time that Mart whines about AAA and non-AAA games and metascores. What's next... "I HAVE MORE BUBBLES THAN YOU THEREFORE I AM RIGHT LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 11111111111111111"?
Keep up the good work boys, you crack me up.
Why do we keep approving bullsh1t from this garbage website? It's edited by the same idiot that said Bioshock would never hit PS3, ONE MONTH BEFORE IT WAS ANNOUNCED.
1 month before it was announced. So basically, WHO CARES? Now every idiot with a games blog is a celebrity? This isn't news.
Are the same ones you see gobbling Microsoft sperm on every thread. Hypocrites. Of course, they can't even come up with an intelligent reply, so they think that insulting you or labeling you, or hell, calling you for what you are is somehow relevant to the level of truth of what you just wrote. Only morons do that, but I guess you can't expect much from them, really.
If you wanna overcome your HD-DVD failure, release the BD players instead of trying to salvage whatever you can with your new "ultra-upscaling" DVD technology. I'm not buying another Toshiba format any time soon for HDTV formats that have yet to get content.
You are the only non-xbox fanboy @ 1up, at least you bring balance. Bubbles for you.
I liked Resistance 2 better than how Killzone 2 looks. R2 looks sick! I was impressed with KZ2's bridge explosion, however... anyway, I think it's safe to say this is PS3's year in terms of games.
Tri-ace is to Level 5
But I understand it is coming from XboxOZ360, a site which I respect a lot, so I respect their opinion. I might just end giving TH a try by renting it even though I hated the demo.
IMHO LBP is the most important title for Sony this year, next year, and on and on... i.e. it is their most important title this generation.
LBP is the most important game for Sony this gen. It has infinite replayability, it doesn't get old, it has appeal for hardcore, casuals, non-gamers, kids and adults. It has user generated content at its maximum expression.
Seriously, how could anyone forget it? To me it is more important than R2, KZ2, MotorStorm2, GT5, GOW3, and Heavy Rain. If EyePet and Afrika are advertised the way they deserve, they could also have a lot of impact, but sadly Sony underestimates some of its ...

Guess who gave Halo THE HIGHEST SCORE, the one that is on top of most scores on that website?
No conventional videogame fights, huge levels, epic landscapes, diversity in characters and item collection. It showed a lot of potential, however I'd need to see more of the gameplay to judge the final product.
