Based on the lack of comments, it would appear that no one on N4G went to see this joke of a movie last night when it premiered. That was the smart thing to do.
I never imagined in a million years that this film was going to make the 1994 Street Fighter with Jean Claude look good, but it has succeeded in doing so. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li hurt my feelings. I felt like I had been rejected by my long sought after love as the credits rolled.
When it comes to the Wii, it's like I finally understood what its purpose was a few weeks back. I used to find the console useless and not worth the money, but while I was playing House of the Dead: Overkill, I realized that it's just supposed to be fun.
It's not supposed to attract gamers away from the competition. It's an easy to pick up and play type of console for the most part. I'm looking forward to what all three consoles will bring this year.
I disagree that reviews don't matter whatsoever. While it's probable that you may disagree with a score by a point or two, rarely is a game that gets less than a 6 worth anyones time.
Most reviewers have been playing video games for several years and understand the score a game deserves regardless of their strong affection for them.

I somewhat understand your point, but of course standards have to become greater as a generation of gaming cont...
I believe that the Xbox 360 is capable of graphics comparable to the Playstation 3. Even if it weren't, you have to remember that the Playstation 2 was the weakest console last generation in terms of graphical capabilities, yet it's renowned as the clear winner of last generation.
As long as Microsoft keeps releasing quality games, they will be fine. The same goes for Sony and Nintendo. Sony could release the best looking game of all time, but if it plays like crap, it won't se...
I urge everyone that is reading this comment to pick up a sponge and inspect if for hidden compartments for no less than 25 minutes.
Personally, exclusive DLC is useless to me. It's rare that I keep a game long enough for that DLC to arrive anyway.
I woudln't mind playing through "The Lost and the Damned", but I sold Grand Theft Auto IV a couple months after completion.
You clearly haven't spent enough time looking at a sponge. There are several hidden compartments that aren't visible to the eye.

Yes, it's sarcasm. lol Although, I should eyeball sponge before confirmation.
I don't think people lose all interest in games that were timed exclusives, but in the time period that a game is a timed exclusive, so many others come out.
For instance, PS3 fans want Star Ocean: The Last Hope now, but if it were to come out in 8 months when White Knight Chronicles is out, people may not be as quick to buy it.
I certainly hope that Killzone 2 is worthy of all the hype bestowed upon it. I haven't even played the demo myself, so I don't really have an opinion yet.
In relation to the rest of your comment, I think timed exclusives are smart as well, especially when they're shrouded in mystery with gamers not knowing whether they will go multiplatform or not.
Being a multiconsole owner myself, I always get a game for the first console that has it.
I'm actually amazed that all of the comments thus far have been as positive and reasonable as they have been.
As silly as most fanboys are, I certainly enjoy their antics. I come to n4g just to laugh and lighten the mood of a stressful day.
I agree with your disagreement of his disagreement. I have had good times with all three consoles. You could say that I'm a polygamist in terms of the gaming world.
I should also mention that it wasn't my intention for the picture to focus on the Playstation 3 as much as it is. lol
The article picture I used is all three consoles together, but the way it shows up on n4g is like this. The possible fanboy-ism in my own picture is quite humorous to me.
I own all three consoles as well, but the Xbox 360 wins today. I'm just waiting until the mall opens so I can go grab a copy of Star Ocean: The Last Hope.
The Playstation 3 wins on the 27th with Killzone 2 and the Wii wins next month with Madworld.
lol, I appreciate a humorous analogy, but I disagree at the same time. As I say in the article, envy is the fuel for most fanboys. Most of the time, they don't even know much about the game they're bashing.
It's like Xbox 360 fans saying how much Metal Gear Solid 4 sucks, but when they hear that it may go multiplatform, they get all excited. That game and system is just an example. The same could go for a 360 title or Wii title going multiplatform.
There are always exceptions. You also said "apparently", so he may say he owns other consoles just to seem unbiased. I'm not saying that's true, it's just a possibility.
I understand what you're both saying. Owning all 3 consoles doesn't defeat fanboyism, but it certainly helps to deter people from becoming absorbed in that blind, dedicated nature.
I disagree with your disagreement. Is a person who owns all 3 current generation consoles really going to call someone an Xbot, Droid or some variant of Wii-tard when they own the console they are insulting so heavily?
You probably got the special edition of Grand Theft Auto IV. The one I played was a fine looking game, but nothing overly impressive.
I haven't been too excited for Infamous, but after watching a lot of video footage while writing this article, I've become much more interested.
I'm not a big fan of open world games, but I prefer ones like the Hulk, Crackdown and the Spider-Man games. I haven't been too enamoured with the Grand Theft Auto series since the third installment.
Prototype looks great as well. I'm interested in how both games will turn out.
This movie was like willingly taking a kick to the gut from a guy wearing boots.
It makes the live action Mortal Kombat movies seem like the greatest films ever made. Everyone involved with this movie should be a little ashamed.
