Since when did Price become a factor in deciding if a game is good or not? Shadowrun got a 8.0 from 1up, and it was $60 dollars. How can you put a handicap on a game, because it only has multiplayer? This is an idiotic way to rate a game.
I have lost all respect for the 1up / EGM review system.
From what I read, the whole design of the system is flawed. I really don't see how reducing the chip size is going to help much. Yes it might extend the life of the console a few more months, but the core design of the system will stay the same, and the problem will presist.
If Microsoft didn't try to rush the system out, perhaps they wouldn't have made such a drastic error. Look at the DVD9 drive, it is placed right over the GPU, how dumb do you have to be to do this? Very...
LOL, I had to laugh at this too.. couldn't agree more.
It's almost a 4/5 and that's from Gamepro, it seems most people have a hard-on when it comes to the controller. Remember these guys reviewed the game in a few days, they didn't have time to ADJUST TO THE CONTROL SCHEME.
Complaining about moving your body around, or twisting your hands around is a lame excuse to give a game a bad score. There was nothing wrong with the actual controls. The reviewer pretty much complained about the fact that he had to actual MOVE his hands aro...
Grand Turismo Concept was FREE, and FREE cars were added to the game. I am assuming for some cars you would have to buy them in a pack, and a lot of these cars are going to be the same "brand" but different year or model. Having the choice to add more cars to the game is going to be awesome. And I am sure Sony will be giving out a few free cars here and there, just like they have done with Grand Turismo Concept.
Are you kidding me? Have you ever played with a Wiimote? The SixAxis is a much lighter control.
Wow, giving the game a bad score, because you have to play it under a week and get used to the controls? I guess it's all about point an shoot now a days?
Two major games Bioshock and Madden NFL 08 where supposed to be reviewed for September Issue, but they weren't? Your telling me the two games that they were supposed to review, didn't get reviewed, but Lair did?
How do they skip reviews of two top level games and move onto Lair? They didn't review Bioshock or Madden NFL 08, like it was stated on the August issue. How did they simply drop them, and move onto Lair? I smell bullshit.
Great game for casual gamers.. :D
The grass and fire on this game really came along, before you could only see a few sprits on screen and it didn't look too good. But seeing the improvements really impresses me. This is going to be a great game to get, a great change forn Ace Combat a game I love, but unfortunately not coming to the Ps3 this year.
You have to remember the HD-DVD addon for the 360 is also considered a "stand alone" player.
The Ps3 is a very sexy looking beast, no one can deny that.. and it's probably the best looking Blu-Ray player on the market. As for futures, that is the very point I was making, the Ps3 has tons of futures that other stand along players don't have.
From the ability to store pictures / video / audio and stream video / pictures etc.. from you PC to the simple ability to play games on one system.. the amount of "futures" on this system in unrivaled.
T...
Talk about being dumb, M$ could have paid R* the 50 million to create to NEW GAMES, as exclusives, rather then just some downloadable content. What was M$ thinking? People were going to buy a 360, to pay some more money to play two more hours of GTA?
Someone should inform M$ that most gamers don't even finish GTA games.
Like this game couldn't get any better.. now you can create enemies and bosses. ROFL Can't wait to get my hands on it, I hear there is going to be a BETA. Lets all hope to get in.. :D
First the small ones will fall, then the big ones will fallow.

Most of the movie studios have stock on Blu-Ray format, that is why they support it more. It's not just Sony who has a big chunk of the pie, but a lot of the other major movie studios.
A win for the Blu-Ray format well undoubtedly mean great success for the Ps3. If Blu-Ray is the format of choice, the Ps3 will be the most desirable Blu-Ray player out on the market. Sony has taken a risk, but the rewards for this risk is turning out to be a BIG bonus.
Keep in mind, unlike the other two consoles, the Ps3 is the only console that will support the Blu-Ray format. M$ won't support it, or can't support it because of complications with it's HDMI (1.2) profile e...
Ah yes, that UGLY piece of crap.. What were they thinking?
They are milking the Halo franchise for all it's got.
LOL, yeah this guy said the iPhone was worth $600 dollars. Maybe he doesn't know, or hasn't heard about the millions of other phones that can do the exact same things as the iPhone but for hundreds of dollars less.
But, OH noes, we need touch screen!
