Ahahahahahah. Bloody hell Microsoft pick some mental marketing strategies. "You know what we should do? GET MASTER CHIEF TO CLOSE THE NASDAQ!!"
I don't know about you guys, but I laughed my ass off at this. Poor little Kotaku people, their hopes so high... and beaten by evangelion pachinko! Ahahaha!
What a pathetic attempt to assert your blatantly incorrect elitism. You want something to enjoy? Try this on for size.

The link is to Gamefaqs, where regular gamers give their views. What did the game score? Out of 29 reviews, there were 4 ten/ten, 12 nine/ten, 4 eight/ten, 3 seven/ten. So well over half were good reviews. I hope you enjoyed bei...
Marcus Phoenix of Gears of War fame is voiced by the dude who did Bender from Futurama.
If you gave it a look you would find that the only console to be sued over hardware difficulties is Sony. http://uk.gamespot.com/ps2/...
They had a class action lawsuit filed against them for faulty PS2's, and whilst they settled the lawsuit with a paultry offer of repairs (not guaranteed free) and a free game, the representative had this to say.
"While we are conv...
I think the real problem with the current media attitude towards the Sony product is simply the history of Sony. Consider that for the greatest time, Sony was the golden boy of consoles. Nothing touched the PS1, but they were still in their infancy. They weren't pushing anything, they weren't boasting, they had the market cornered. All we heard from them were game releases, no hype, no promises. When the PS2 came out though, we saw a different kind of Sony. Lots of promises. Can anyone...
Fanboys are a f***ing plague. Worse still, apparently on this site you're not even allowed to discuss them! I made a thread in the forums and it was locked despite it not favouring either side. It was literally a thread disbarraging fanboyism in general, but noooope. Locked. Fanboys, there to f*** up every part of the internet.
Edge? Unbaised?! Ahahah!! Dude, Edge were one of the first magazines to truly favour one console over the other. I'm amazed you believe that.
You use words like "real fighting fans" to impose some kind of elitism. There isn't one "real fighting fan", there are various types. Some prefer 2D, some prefer 3D. Some prefer technical fighters, some prefer the jugglers. Personally I think that MK 2 was one of the greatest 2D fighters going. The later games never captured it, and it's first foray into 3D certainly wasn't good. But it's later 3D games showed some promise. I owned the Deception title, and it made e...
I don't get it, I'm sure I read an interview where the MK dev stated that Armaggeddon was a farewell to the series. That was the reason they had absolutely every character from every MK in it. I'm very surprised.
The other thing that confuses me is the idea of an "MK VS ??" title. I can't see many other developers being happy with their brand including fatalities, nor can I see the point in an MK without fatalities. I mean the idea of "Mortal kombat vs street...
Silly Sonysexuals talking about the PGR series like they've played it. We all know the majority of you haven't, just like the majority haven't played Halo, yet bash it anyway. The PGR series is a fantastic arcade racer, just like Gran Turisimo is a fantastic simulation racer. Just because they are exclusives either way doesn't mean you have to pretend they aren't. It's incredibly sad. Please do stop being so hard headed and ignorant, it just makes you look virginal.
Nasim, PGR isn't a sim racer. Forza is MS's sim racer.
But back on topic, this would be a kick in the nuts for MS, PGR is it's racer of choice. I wonder whether MS would throw some money down to reacquire it. Even more questionable is why they didn't throw money down for it in the first place...?
I wonder if the Sony loyal will be so quick to complain about MS news sources considering this one is ripping on it's biggest product? Probably.
Regardless, I think Matrix, Daikatana and Pacman are all fair points. All were hugely hyped, but wound up being mediocre. However Madden is arguably the best Amfootball game going. And Halo 3 is obviously a great game. There's a difference between hype and overhype, and this list has missed it.
In what world do you live dude? Lists don't go back to front? The list is,
1. Pac man
2. Enter the matrix
3. Daikatana
4. Madden
5. Halo 3
"We're entering the console race! Check out our amazing G4 Wii60station. We have exclusives like "Lazytown : Stephanie's adventures" and "Queer eye for a straight guy", the heterophobic shoot 'em up! Coming 2008!"
I've been saying this whenever the topic arises. They are not going to break Japan, because Japan is horrendously fickle. They want Japanese products, and will NEVER show allegiance to an American one. They have NA and Europe down no problem. Leave Sony to have Japan, the gaming market isn't big enough to concern themselves with throwing THAT MUCH MONEY at it. Let Sony have it, they're not going to get NA or Europe with their current progress.
Not sell out my left ass cheek. So much for being a true anarchist. Now Lydon will do anything for 5 minutes of fame.
What a surprise! It's just console politic, one set pay off one dude to sully it's name, the other pays off another dude to contradict it. It is of no surprise. Admittedly fox is more notorious for bulls***, but I still think both are just spin tactics. But to describe the 360's lineup after Halo as "lukewarm" is just nonsense. Honestly, what's worse, the fanboys, or the companies themselves?
@Dark Arcani - The item placement isn't all. There is also an in game, real time edit feature where someone can pick stuff up and move it around. So someone could pick up a tank and drop it on the enemy, or pick up a crate and move it into a position of cover for the ally. And more on top of that. Forge isn't as simple as you think. Watch this video for a bit more info, it shows you a bit more.

Question, WHO DID COMPARE IT?! This whole post hinges on someone, ANYONE actually comparing these titles. I personally have not heard or read anyone doing such. Pointless.
