That's the stance I take. When looking at games like Flower, how can you NOT consider games as art?

One game that I personally LOVED that had such a fresh take on the FPS genre was Mirror's Edge. The cityscape in that game was absolutely GORGEOUS and was definitely a form of art in my eyes, as is many, many other titles out there. (All of them, really, considering who is beholding it.)

True. They'd better shape up and try showing some respect for those other games before showboating around just because the original Crysis was... decent... yeah... decent.

A game is a game. Throwing a casual or hardcore tag on it seems kind of arrogant to me, who are we to make such distinctions? I mean, I know what someone means when they use the term "casual" or "hardcore", but we rarely ever see the word that both of these have in common used singularly... GAMER.

We're so concerned with looking at what we don't have in common and really need to start seeing we all DO have in common.

I kinda figured that. We were seeing graphically phenomenal games towards the end of the PS2 life-cycle with God of War II. We've apparently got quite a number of years to go, so I'm sure we're nowhere close to hitting the PS3's "ceiling".

And if they can run Crysis 2 similarly on each system, and you've got Blu-ray on the PS3, then I'm sure you could that much more into the PS3 version if they actually tried, but so few companies want to actually utilize the storage a...

Warm up the Highwind baby! =D

Again, this is Eyetoy... just slightly revamped. OK, so how is this a ticket to the coolest party again? BTW, I've attached a video of this supposed "coolest party"... everyone seems mental there. O.O

Hey man, just swing by the Home forums every now and then. Sony isn't shy when it comes to meet and greets. They'll usually have something stickied in the Clubs and Events forums.

OK, now that would be awesome! =)

Actually, the first time I had ever heard of it was from a customer at work... in the US... =)

Who knows, maybe the tide is turning? At least, that's the best we can hope for I guess.

True. Although many people may not have known about it, at least from the casual gamer's perspective. When I say casual, I mean someone who enjoys games but isn't always "in the know".

To my knowledge, this is an SCEE announcement, not SCEA.

Strange Mine Cart is right... this whole game is starting to look strange now. To all those who harped on the old-school Sonic fans saying that we can't expect this game to be an old-school clone... you're right... it's much worse than that. >.<

It's fairly obvious why, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know this...

How many people think it's gonna be Sonic Riders...? *RAISES HAND*

This story has been up for over 4 hours and only 90 degrees? People need to realize what a visionary Uematsu is. This thing should be at 250 by now, c'mon! =)

Man, and I was actually excited for a second. This just reminds me of how badly I want a new Ecco title!

Or go to Toys "R" Us and pull out the support bungee cord on the vinyl ball "jail cell", causing a wave of red balls to come flying at you.

At least you can feel awesome for 10 seconds before being escorted out by a man-sized giraffe. =)

This is awesome news, really. And man, that signed Karatos poster is SWEET! It honestly feels better, even throwing a few extra bucks out there, when it's for charity and at the same time such a coveted item.

Unfortunately I have a feeling that this title will under perform in the sales department, particularly because most 360 exclusives sell well because they have not only heavy marketing behind them, but heavy brand recognition (in addition to decent gameplay elements).

Does this game look cool? Sure. But I also have a feeling that the gameplay just isn't going to be there. When it comes to new IPs, at least recently, that seems to be Sony's territory. 360 on the other hand, despi...
