This guy is like the gaming world's version of Mel Kiper -- he's wrong ALL the time, yet people treat his word like gold.
Why can't I get that job?
...at least it's not a lifetime ban.
...the joke is dead. Every anti-Microsoft kid has adopted the "Xbot" nickname for Xbox owners/fanboys/etc. Come up with something new. It's old, and dead.
The day I take any opinion on the subject of video games from someone who has a smashed Xbox 360 as their personal avatar, that day will see new record lows in Hell.
If you can't add something constructive to the discussion, then maybe you should go do something productive with your life. Drinking bleach comes to mind.
Um, for the record, the vast, vast, VAST majority of those games either exist solely in your well wishes, or as of yet not been named for any console.
Try to keep your list to games that have actually been OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED as PS3 exclusives. It'll help your argument.
GT5 = PGR4
FF XIII = Mass Effect
MGS 4 = Halo 3
Next?
Sega. Saturn.
Getting on topic, It's an interesting chart, and I don't think that it's a surprise that the Wii is out in front when considering that everyone bought into the hype. I think this upcoming holiday season may very well determine who will "win" this round of the always-overblown console wars.
I'm not going to say one way or another whether or not I think it was a fake, but you have to admit that the evidence did add up to make a compelling argument for it.
Considering this is something like the twentieth game in the Dynasty Warriors series... quick buck.
Yet another reason why I don't take 1UP seriously.
On one hand, I've heard that these are indeed images from retailers early. On the other hand, I've also heard that these are images from one of the manufacturing plants that are actually printing the discs.
As a self-professed Xbox 360 fanboy... he's right. Unquestionably right on all of it.
Oh, I won't argue the laziness of EA. They've been adding a new coat of paint to the same games since the late 90s, and I honestly can not remember the last time they made a game that did NOT have some kind of major flaw.
But, at the same time, if you don't nip the problem in the bud, the PS3 Fanboys will inevitably start their happy dances. That... just... can't happen. :P
Hey, no prob. But apparently, I'm at war with a particular group of Sony Fanboys (Sony Defense Force) over some rather... "un-kosher" things I said about them. So, you know... just on the defensive.
Hugs? :P
...it's half a percentage point, and quite frankly you're just comparing which turd you can shine more.
The game is awful. On both consoles. Don't try to rub this in Xbox 360 owners faces.
I just read the preview, and it seems to me that those two went in to the demo showing with it set in their heads that, short of the announcement that Interplay was reforming, they were not going to like what they saw. As fans it's understandable, but it automatically compromises the preview for those who have little experience in the franchise.
...don't you think they would have been positive towards Mass Effect? Good Christ, if you're going to make baseless accusations about a gaming news site, at least put some thought into it first.
Judging by your typing style, you must be the "diamond-studded dildo" guy...
I'm never above parodying myself. *wink, wink*
Dude... seriously... give up on Lair. It sucks. I'll buy Warhawk, and Heavenly Sword... but Lair fails.
