As I've said,
for me to buy a PS3, there has to be a number of spectacular PS3 exclusives (think Gears of War or BioShock) to convince me.
and if I don't already have a PS3, then I can't "try" Heavenly Sword -- and I certainly am not going to go out of my way to go through hassles (i.e., go look for someone or some place that has it or whatever) just to play some game that I already know has been getting only an overall "okay" review score.
At first, I was not interested in getting the console AT ALL. Then I had heard about Halo and all the rave reviews, and a friend invited me over to his place to play the game. Of course, I would not have accepted the invitation if I had not already heard so much about the game. I went to his place to play it, and I liked it, but I still did not want to buy a console for only one game.
Soon afterward, I heard about Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. After I read all the...
and if "friends" do not have a PS3 or the game, or the demo booths do not have the game... then what?
Anyway, most people without a PS3 are not going out of their way and go through so much trouble just to try an "average" or "above average" game. That's too much hassle for a game.
Now, if they had read all the raving 9s and 10s about this game, then that would have been a good reason to actually go to look for a friend or booth tha...
You would be getting BioShock (with an average review score of 97%) and Madden NFL 08 (average score: 87%)
Also, according to MetaCritic, Blue Dragon's average review score is 79% ... that's actually higher than Lair's average score of 68%
BTW, MetaCritic does not review games itself. It just takes all the review scores from all the well-known reviewers like IGN, GameSpot, GameSpy, GamePro, Game Informer, EGM, EuroGamer, 1UP, Yahoo! Games, G4, GameTrailers, et...
What are you?
Malay? Indian? White? or Eurasian? ... all minorities in Singapore, I believe.
Both are PC games, I notice.
PC games (outside MMOs) are getting fewer and fewer, and sh1ttier and sh1ttier.
and the Chinese (i.e., Singaporeans are basically Chinese - their race, not their nationality) do not mix well with the Japanese.
If someone does not have a PS3, and then how is he supposed to "get hold of the game himself" or "try the demo for himself"?
It has not even come out yet!
GameTrailers - 96%
IGN - 95%
1UP - 90%
GameSpy - 90%
GameDaily - 90%
GameSpot - 85%
and, one that's missing from the round-up:
Nintendo Power 100%
Because you did not embed the video here, and your story image sucks.
GameSpot gave BioShock a 9, the lowest coming from a major reviewer.
That 9 basically kills BioShock's chance of beating The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as the best rated game of all time.
GameSpot is getting tougher and harsher, at least the Xbox and Wii divisions are.
let me see... to bring attention to the good review?
Now we know that "Gamer's Hand-on Review" indeed comes from a Sony shill.
Most contributors are too lazy to embed the video or find out how to do it when they submit video news. Thanks for taking the time and effort to embed the video here.
I put in a "Good" rating for your submission. (I would have given you a "Not Good" if there's no embedded video.)
We're having a Halo blow-out today.
This is StarCraft on Xbox 360.
most people submit video news but don't take the extra time and effort to embed the videos.
thanks, gave you a "Good" rating for the news, just for that.
Halo 3 overload.
That's how I bought my first Xbox: exceptional games.
At first, I was not interested in getting the console AT ALL. Then I had heard about Halo and all the rave reviews, and a friend invited me over to his place to play the game. Of course, I would not have accepted the invitation if I had not already heard so much about the game.
