I know people love harping on the 360's great games library(that's filled with way too many FPS games for me!), but it's reliability does come into question when it comes to GTA. If I were in the middle of enjoying my favorite GTA activity(raising my wanted level and seeing how long I can run from the police with limited use of the cheat codes!), and my 360 RROD'd on me(for the 2nd time that would be!), I'd be furious! That's why I'm getting it for my PS3 instead!

I wasn't expecting the Wii version to look as good as the other two, but now, I'm glad I never wasted my money on following the trend! Also from video that I've seen, the game looks like it may play exactly like Ultimate Destruction. Maybe Sega licensed the game engine of that Hulk game to build this one.
Shenanigans!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll be getting The Force Unleashed for my PS3. I'm keeping my 360 open for Ninja Gaiden 2 and Gears Of War 2. Maybe even The Incredible Hulk game if it's as good as Ultimate Destruction was.
What happened to the world? What happened to being responsible for your own actions? I know most of the things coming out of the entertainment industry are not good for you, but why are people teaching their kids to resort to scapegoating things like music and video games for the stupid stuff they do?
... but unfortunately it appeals to the same people that once accused gamers of rotting their brains for playing video games. Funny...
The only way this will happen is if they stop catering to casual gamers and start giving people reasons to buy one. They also need more serious games. I'll be the first one to admit that graphics don't make the game, but when games I want to play on the Wii are few and far between, why settle for a system just because it's popular?
Why do you think I worked a double shift last night for?
Hasn't PS3 bashing played out yet? I mean they're establishing that it's going to be a great system so why is the media still hating on it? Are they going to have to take a face full of whatever game it is Team Ico is working on before they realize the PS3 is gold?
I've had my PS3 ever since Feb. 2007 and it was worth it then and it's still worth it now! I'm sick of articles and threads asking "Is the PS3 worth it?" or saying "It's overpriced!" or "I'm the guy that can't afford an HDTV so I'm gonna write a blog and whine about it!" and my favorite is "1,000,000 ways to save the PS3!" When did gamers turn into such crybabies?! There's games out there, people! Go play!
Although I applaud Microsoft's efforts to keep things fair, does this mean they view cheaters as a worst threat to Xbox Live than the poor sportsmanship, racism, and kids younger than 18 playing M rated games online?
A game where you dress up as a klansman and go around setting up burning crosses in people's yards and hanging black people is racist. A game where you become a Nazi and kill jews in a concentration camp is racist. Echochrome IS NOT racist.
Sega has made a Sonic game that looks like it's worth my time! That looks like the Sonic that made me buy a Genesis instead of a Super Nintendo! Whatever system that comes out for, I may buy it...as long as Sega doesn't screw it up by making you play 1% of the game as Sonic and 99% as a bunch of stupid supporting cast characters!
Since the beginning of gaming, graphic overhauls have been something people have become accustomed to not only when moving from one generation to the next, but also moving from sequel to sequel. I remember how much better Super Mario Bros. 2 looked when compared to the first one, and so on, and so on. For me I believe it's a three part puzzle to a perfect game: Graphics, Gameplay, and Story(this doesn't apply in some cases.) One company that almost always gets this right is Square-Enix becaus...
If I caught my niece or nephew using that kind of language they'd get their butts whipped by me, my sis, and their grandparents. If it were my kids, they'd never been heard on XBox Live again...ever!
How is cutting the price going to ease consumers' fear that their console my die somewhere within the first year of owning it? That's why most of my friends went with the PS3 or want one. They don't have to worry about it RROD'ing!
Somebody's a serious Microsoft fanboy! If Achievements were so great, why have I spent more time playing my PS3 instead of my 360? My Gamerscore is 1795 and it's been that way for awhile now. Do I care? No, not really. That's because I don't game for achievements or bragging rights. I game because it's fun and I enjoy it. Until Microsoft brings in real world value to Achievements and Gamerscore, I'll keep playing for fun.
If someone compiled a list of the greatest games of all time, I don't think Shadow Of The Collossus would be at #1, but it should at least be #2 or #3!
Said DLC is a timed exclusive? What if somewhere down the line this contract runs out and Rockstar releases the content on PSN? Or what if they come up with something better for the PS3?
