No post-ending freeplay?
So they basically did not fix one of the biggest flaws of Fallout 3....
3DS has the best lineup of launch games I have seen in over 15 years.
Hands down.
It will succeed fine on its own.
Justify your mustache.
Nice article! The DS is chock full of awesome game. I think it's scientifically impossible to play all of the good ones in a lifetime.
Hey, at least Microsoft listened to their fans. I don't think anyone in their right mind wanted a Kinect version of Forza.

If you intended your "insult" to be serious (a comment about a fictional video game character)...
It won't flop as the title suggests, but it won't be a smash hit like the DS until the price is below $200. But Nintendo will still be selling and marketing the DSi for many years to come, so it makes no difference to them.
It should be telling that every game coming out keeps getting compared to Uncharted 2 (nearly a year old), God of War III (several months old), and Killzone 2 (over a year and a half old)...
We've all heard this "as good looking as Uncharted 2" hype before. Don't believe it until you see it, and I've definitely not as good looking as U2. it's a beautiful game, but not even close to U2.
This game looks really good. I just finished up another playthrough of God of War III (awesome game!) and I want another good hack 'n slash that doesn't have a pansy (DMC4) or a kinky librarian (Bayonetta) as the lead character.
Can't wait to play it!
How about both? I bought God of War III several months ago when it came out, and now I can enjoy the new Castlevania. Weeee!
Wow, the hype for this game is being blown WAY out of proportion. This game is a 8/10 tops. It is far too flawed to be GotY.
Honestly, is Enslaved better than ME2? God of War 3? What about Heavy Rain or Alan Wake? What about GT5? Super Mario Galaxy 2? Red Dead Redemption? There are more, but I'm forgetting them.
Is Enslaved better than any of those games? No way.
If true...
SHIIIIIIINE GET!
And it does send a very strong message to gamers when Halo: Reach has cheating like this. MW2 and Gears on 360 are no different.
I hate to say it, but I'll take the "horrible" lack of cross-game chat on PSN with the comfort of knowing there are no aimbots.
No, the "latest craze" is not to hate FPS games, just to hate games that churn out the same ol' thing with no innovation or improvement.
And I guess it's not the latest craze, either. You'll find that most discerning gamers have that attitude.
Gee, another FPS. Just what the gaming industry needed.
I heard Activision was coming out with another Guitar Hero, too!
You obviously haven't played a popular online game before.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but there are tons of cheaters in Halo, Modern Warfare, Gears of War, etc.
I played the beta too and it's good, but I agree with your complaints. It's fun, but there are some flaws.
PSP is still a decent system. This year we have MSG Peace Walker and Valkyria Chronicles 2, as well as Patapon 3, Ghost of Sparta, and more coming down the pipeline.
After playing the demo and seeing the shortfalls of the game, I completely completely disagree.
God of War 3, Halo Reach, Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, GT5, Super mario Galaxy 2, Dragon Warrior 9, MGS: Peace Walker, Heavy Rain, and plenty of other '10 titles are better than Enslaved.
I enjoyed Gears 1 and thought Gears 2 was silly...
...and with that said, Gears 100% of the way. Quantum Theory is a terrible game.
