The installs help. I only own a PS3, but have friends with 360's. The two games that really stood out with significantly less load times on PS3 due to the installs were SCIV (about 30 seconds less) and Oblivion (which was minutes more on the 360 when your inventory grew large, maybe because the 360 version had to load in the inventory?)

Either way, even Game Informer commented on the SCIV difference in load times when comparing 360 v PS3 (although the admitted that the load t...

especially after those earlier busted PS3 versions of multiplat games (Madden, the Orange Box).

The COD4 team helped other devs see the light and showed them the right way to develop multiplatform titles

Props to the Burn-out: Paradise team as well!

EDIT

But yeah, each system has things that it does particulaly well. It's time that devs start having console-specific teams to encourage optimizing games for each console.

I like the idea about reviewing the game while still in development, early enough to make changes for the better. I think some game developers already do this.

And I totally agree that releasing patches to fix the game should not be the norm. I realize that PC gamers are used to this, but with a game like LAIR when the devs were warned about solely using motion control,and not including the option for analog control (which was actually used during development)to preserve thei...

I believe that this guy is just being sarcastic

But to his woes, I would only advise that when he gives a score that he truly believes in then he should clearly back them up with well written reasons to why the score was given.

The B$ will always reveal itself... As will the good, unbiased reviewers such as Game Informer.

There is something valid about a particular reviewer not understanding the genre or game though

Remember when Ra...

then they do need a price cut, if only to keep up with the wii and 360.

Note, I said "this gen"... PS2 is like something from an 80's horror flick. It just will not die. And it's still making Sony money. And the PSP's recent resurgence can't be ignored either. Sony doesn't NEED to win this gen, but I still think they would want to go all-out to protect their marketshare and future in the videogame industry.

M$ and Nintendo seem to be in it for the l...

That's what I'm waiting on. That stigma of Xbox360 having faulty hardware is still alive for some people, and may lessen the effects that a price cut could bring.

Does anyone know when the Jasper boards are supposed to hit? Last I heard is they are supposed to premier this month.

And they throw TMNT on there?

Wow...

I wouldn't say the list fails, but wow...

At least throw Dragon's Lair on there. Dragon's Lair gameplay may seem broken by today's standards, but the arcade game was revolutionary at the time. When I was a youngen, arcade games were a quarter but Dragon's Lair was always $1.00 - $2.00 a game with a mob surrounding the cabinet.

And one more game I'd put on there is that cool-arse Star Wars game, w...

aaaw, I'm sorry guys :'(

You're all right... I have been misbehaving *sniff*

My 5 year old idiot behavior is an example of what makes this console war so very pathetic (like me) :(

ah, who am I kidding? I LOVE this sh!t! You grown adults and intelligent types getting all bent out of shape over little ole me and my antics is hilarious and is part of what makes this console war so much fun! Viva la Console war!!

In all honesty guys...

and maybe Wesker from the RE series, but at least Kefka got a mention.

He was dead on with M.Bison... I used to yell "Bullsh!t cheating-a$$ computer favortism!!!" when he would use two or three Psycho Crushers in a row without having to charge for 2 seconds like us players had too. lol

Very entertaining video

You don't need XboxLive Gold to play 360 games, but I think what is lost on you and what cmrbe is trying to point out is the budget-priced 360 Arcade isn't so cheap and wallet friendly with hidden costs and lacking features... especially when compared to one of it's competitors, the "notoriously over-expensive" PS3.

With all things being equal (including a $50 a year Gold subscription for the ability to play games online, that the PS3 allows for free), comparing featu...

for anyone who says people will get bored of LBP quicker because it's 2D is waaaay off.

@Kingnick - Maybe YOU will get bored of LBP because it's 2D. But in a world in which games the scope of MGS4 and Spore are released, I still go back and play those "boring" 2D games - from SF Alpha/II/III, to Viewtiful Joe, to Mario on the DS, to MS Pac-man and Galaga from Namco collections, to old school Sonic from Sega/Sonic collection. No Joke

Just watching the arguments, articles, conspiracy theories of money-hat pay-outs and back-door deals (how the heck did ps3 Rachet and Clank get a 7.5 rating for too much variety?)...

I think this era's console war, may even top the legendary Nintendo vs Sega war or when Sony joined in and turned it into a 3-way dance with Crash calling out Mario in front of Nintendo's offices.
