They're not the first 4/10 on Metacritic, and I doubt they'll be the last.
$5 is next to nothing anyway, I'm surprised Microsoft didn't give this out for free.
It's in their interest that it's in the hands of as many gamers as possible, in order to create the largest amount of content.
It's a list of petty beefs that he has with the company's decisions. Like lambasting the Orange Box for not offering value. (Who really believes that?)
"Of course what was probably the most defining quality to Valve's Half-Life was the introduction to coherent voice acting and the start of an esoteric plot."
No. It wasn't voice acting, or plot - it was the narrative, the immersion and the AI. It was the whole concept of telling stories within the first person ...

It'll become a husk of its former self when it seeks legitimacy, such as Napster, Kazaa and Suprnova.
Onto the next tracker.
I'd love to delve into the idiot fanboy arguments that have perpetuated through this thread.
But this rumour is not true. In the same way that the "Sony pulled from Netflix to spite Microsoft" rumour wasn't true.
Maybe their licensing agreements specify PCs only or something. But that's a guess.
Yeah, and when Niko gets off the boat, he can be hounded and assaulted by racist locals, and forced to return to his native country.
Well done Belfast, the world thinks you're full of absolute imbeciles.
Edge didn't even bother reviewing any of the Onechanbara games.
You're not going to find a single source of opinion that you agree with all the time.
"And yes, 360 fanboys, this will hurt YOUR console, as well, if they do this. Less revenue for them means less games for YOU. So you should hope to GOD that something good comes from this, or else it'll be you that gets screwed over, not just PS3 owners."
Shut the f-ck up, seriously, think before you make such idiot remarks. At least that one wasn't copy-pasted onto your flamebait blog and front pages on N4G.

Why did you choose to omit that Crytek have said that cryEngine performs shader heavy scenes better on the 360?
Don't pull out "get your facts straight" bullsh-t when you purposely omit facts which would detract from your idiot worldview.

Well done console owners, you've caught up to where PCs were two years...
Burnout > Every other arcade racer.
What sort of bullshit is that?
Atari had the rights to publish the game. Sony paid them bucketloads to get the rights from Atari, in order for timed exclusivity.
Maybe because they're both open world urban superhero games released around the same time?
The link really isn't that hard to make. I'm pretty sure people will be comparing these games to Crackdown and Saints Row too, and rightly so.
The best co-op experience right now.
It's in their interest that digital distribution takes off, and hard disks are dirt cheap anyway.
But surely, all those PS3 sites reviewing Infamous had the same biases right? Even stronger, with your logic, given the exclusivity.
The Gabe weight thing wasn't really directed at you - rather at the general lack of coherent arguments from others on that side of the fence.
Valve are willing to try new things, it just so happens that those new things don't coincide with the developing for the PS3.
Don't give me that proletariat class war bullshit. Yes, they're aloof, and overly self referential. But their writing is quality, and they clearly justify their editorial decisions. Their reviews often give insight which other publications typically miss.
The typical gamer is an imbecile, will accept any tripe and proclaim it to be glorious depending on the marketing and the graphics - you can see this from the ridiculous amounts of preorders some games get.
