The Pacific Theater of the war was by far the darkest, grimmest, most brutal chapter in WW2 (the Holocaust was not part of the war). By now, I'm not expecting anything drastically new from this WW2 fps franchise, but if Treyarch can drastically up the realism and atmosphere with the fire effects, maybe bayonets, and honor the veterans by writing a story that captures the brutality and horror of the fighting in the Pacific, then I'll definitely pick this one up.
If I'm disappointed, it's not the fact that CoD is going back to WW2. I think that's where it belongs in the first place. CoD4 was great, but face it, it was a one-time thing. If CoD keeps going with the modern warfare setting, it'll just lose its novelty and risk becoming just another modern military shooter, and we've got plenty of good ones already (RS:Vegas, GRAW). However, WW2 in the Pacific hasn't been done that often before, and it has NEVER been done well. Treyarch didn't pick a terri...
This guy deludes himself. He thinks he's f*cking legendary when he isn't. He wears those shades around all the time and acts like a rock star, like he's a genius in the gaming industry. But so far, his games have only proven to me that he knows how to entertain Western gamers with senseless bloodshed and huge tits (and for that reason, i DO love Dead or Alive :P). Come to think of it, what else is there on the 360?
This guy is no Hideo Kojima. He's got little artistic talent an...
This petition doesn't go far enough. He only addresses minor bugs and kinks in the online multiplayer (it should be called TF2 petition, not Orange Box). Frankly, things like "recent players" not being displayed properly, voice chat names appearing on the wrong partof the screen, those are things I couldn't care less about when playing. I never even noticed them before seeing his site.
What we SHOULD be petitioning for is a patch that'll get rid of the serious frame r...
His games are good but he's got absolutely nothing on Hideo Kojima.
Relationships are important. Thats why Microsoft screws its customers over and over again. To build good relationships with their ever-important and oh-so-treasured consumer constituency.
I'd choose a .45 over a beretta anyday. It never jams if you clean it properly, and unlike the beretta, it can break skin.
I know most of you guys have more sense than to waste money on something like this, but for the rest of you:
1) This isn't even a replica. Drake's pistol is some variant of the Soviet Makarov. These guys are trying to sell you an M92 beretta that says "M190 Special Forces" on the slide.
2) This thing is way overpriced. Speaking as an actual airsofter, you can get this exact same pistol for almost half the price off any regular airsoft site.
The new screens look TERRIBLE! The blur in the old shots gave the game an awesome movie-like effect. The attempt at rendering more detail in the new screens make them look obviously like a video game, and frankly, they look much sloppier than the old ones did. What a step in the wrong direction.
The game went from looking frickin amazing to looking average next-gen. Some parts look like a hi-res PS2 title.
And Raiden and Meryl look like sh1t, i might add.
GT5 Prologue is a driving simulator. It's supposed to be as realistic as possible, so it's natural if driving is hard as fck. GTA4 is NOT a driving sim, it's an open-world action/adventure game, where you have a lot more to worry about than just driving. If they make driving too hard/realistic, the game is no longer fun and easy to play. They're two different types of games, you can't/shouldn't compare them, so don't even try, fanboy.
I honestly wasn't impressed by what I saw. Driving looks like it turned into a huge b1tch with bad turning, and crashing into another car pretty much puts you under it. Hand-to-hand combat still looks as broken as ever, there's no scenery/vibrant colors to enjoy (graphics are great, but this is still the ugliest GTA game i've seen), and like someone mentioned earlier, the place is a ghost town.
I wanted this game to be as absolutely amazing as the "perfect" reviews s...
Is this EA's poor excuse for "DLC?" I'm trying hard to like this game, but I can see this getting old real fast, just like everything else in the game. EA shouldn't be charging us for this anyway, as it was supposed to be included in the original game, and the campaign has six freakin' levels.
I guess it won't even matter since the laggy servers make everything unplayable. EA, you never fail to disappoint.
Why won't they make a demo for the ps3? Developers seem to ignore us completely when it comes to freebies like this. Is our business worth less than xboxers'? I'd like to hear their reasoning for that.

Killzone doesn't need to kill Halo. Halo pretty much killed itself.
Last I heard, Halo3 was getting its ass handed to it by the multiplatform (and far superior) CoD4. Doesn't look like that's gonna change, what with new CoD maps coming out vs. the remakes of old halo maps for Halo 3.
And stop trying to use Killzone 1 against the not-yet-released Killzone 2. The whole point of making a sequel is to make improvements to the shortcomings of the previou...
Gears of War can never top that list. It's becoming the next Halo in terms of hype and overratedness. GoW didn't invent the friggin cover system. It wasn't even the first (recent) game to pull it off successfully. RS: Vegas was. And yet, all the fanboys compare every other shooter that has a cover system to Gears of War, ignoring the fact that the cover system is now practically a staple of the Shooter genre. That's basically like comparing Resistance to GoW because they both have guns.
We've all known this was coming, but that doesn't mean this statement is all true. As an April Fool's joke, it might not come out tomorrow, or it might not be free. So many ways they can get us with this one. Let's hope not though, since that would be unethical (hint).
You asked when, and I told you when they first came out. I never implied that they still are exclusives.
That does suck. I'd be pissed if i lost my Oblivion saves...
