Spot on. :)
With the article... stories in games are often good, but only with the added caveat 'FOR A GAME'. Compared to books and films, game narratives can't compete because the rules are just completely different. When does the main protagonist in the novel you're reading spend five chapters popping the heads off aliens? Never. Narrative is a different language - one that is all but incompatible with gameplay and only succeeds to the point where the story is okay... for a game.
You're at the helm.
That Richard Morgan had NOTHING AT ALL to do with the original Crysis ;)
NG did a separate story on that little nugget too...

I don't get your point, that story DOES NOT say that the PC version is being in any way negatively affected by the existence of the console versions, it simply says that the console versions have been cut back vs. the PC version. It is the opposite. Seriously... completely different story.
The story you're linking to says that the console versions are being cut back. This story is the OPPOSITE - that they are forcing cuts to the PC version so that all versions are majority identical. See the difference?
Yes, I was at the demo in NY and it does look pretty darn special. Even on 360 ;)
The tech could theoretically make the most of PS3, X360 and PC individually - it's interesting that Crytek have a lead PS3 programmer that's allowed to talk about platform specific versions of the game...
And look, here we are five hours later and it's still not working. :P
"Nowgamer GoW3 review: 8/10 <-- one of the lowest and pretty far from the average.
Nowgamer Article: "Heavenly Sword better than GoW3" and still they scored HS with 6.5/10.
So many inconsistencies all over the place, a pitiful score for GoW3 but they cant stop talking about the game. A 8/10 game is nothing exceptional to be asking for."
Actually, Nowgamer gave God Of War III 9.1/10 -
A very good point, very well made.
Pirates will get around it no matter what they do, so why potentially ruin the experience for legits? Makes no sense.
Confused much?
For your comment...
Here's their review

And if you want to go and actually LOOK on the site, they also have many interviews and hands-on in the months leading up to the release.
Such as here, where they ask the developers important questions:
Does using the phrase 'In other words' allow you to then make a summation of the previous comment which bears no resemblance to it? Evidently.
Let me try that. Here goes...
@onanie
In other words, you're saying you love the title and want to see more titles like it. Interesting.
Damn, that's pretty effective. I should try that more often.
A couple of questions:
1. How does a good article benefit from a boring title which no one wants to click on?
2. Isn't that the pre-existing condition and shouldn't we blame the status quo and not the article. Cause and effect, my dear boy, you appear to have them topsy-turvy. I agree with you. I don't agree with the approach, but neither do I think it's anyone's fault besides the internet gaming hoi-polloi. Look at the articles that get the most hits on N4G silly titles, t...
Interesting, since I seem to remember NowGamer having to top story on N4G twice this week and both of those stories were pro-Sony.
Also, the same guys put this article up at the same time and the two are linked together within the article.

Pro-360!?! Please. NowGamer are far more tongue in cheek than you give them credit for. ...
Release date is irrelevant. The SixAxis was a last-minute add to stave off the potential threat from Nintendo's Wii-mote.
But your phone is well rubs.
