Is it impossible that people are not buying R3 because it is a bland and boring series, particularly compared to games that are just around the corner? It is not a new title, I believe people know enough about the game to decide for themselves.
Not sure I can believe anything you write.
Too many good games to play with friends during the hols. The single player focused games can wait.
Very very well written review!! Not that I agree with the score, but the review content deserves praise.
True, fanboys will brag, condemn, hate and exaggerate boisterously, real gamers are quietly discerning.
Polemical dissertations of a fanboy, grade F.
Interesting:
"Movement is handled by putting one foot forward to start Josh moving. The further forward you move your foot, the faster he goes. Step back and he back pedals. Turning your shoulders steers him left and right. It's simple and it comes tantalisingly close to working."
So EA not only make Porsches exclusive to their own games, they also make some Porsche models exclusive to limited editions. They really believe gamers will go out of their way to pay for Porsches.
As usual, only cut scenes are gorgeous.
Bah the fantasy is dead!
3D sucks fullstop
With the big guns Gears and Battlefield around the corner, I'd say the obvious choice for me is to go for Dead Island cos I don't need another shooter.
Comments on this site are always a laugh! The brigade quickly comes in to declare victory as if their lives depended on it and I expect to see obvious differences in the images after reading the comments. But lo and behold, all I see is that 360 has brighter lighting and PS3 has dimmer lighting... Yup! That sure gives PS3 the win! The sun rising from the east also means PS3 is winning I'm sure!
I dunno, best shooter and driving games this gen with hundreds of hours of multiplayer goodness coming out exclusively on 360 this fall plus Skyrim should be enough to keep me occupied for many months. Next year? We'll wait and see,, but I haven't had a disappointing year in gaming thus far, don't think it will change.
Horde mode has been the best co-op experience yet, but this Beast mode sounds like it could top it!
In Short: A clear improvement on the last game and the best in the series so far, even if it does still seem purposefully conservative at times.
Pros: A long, well-paced and surprisingly varied story campaign. Interesting weapons and some effective storytelling. Two-player split screen co-op.
Cons: The minute-to-minute action and monster designs are still vey generic, with weak artificial intelligence. Unremarkable competitive multiplayer.

Gears of War 3 full stop
Oh and FIFA.
I think it is unfair to make the comparison. Resistance should be judged at it's own pace, and it appears to be incrementally improving with the latest instalment, so that's good enough.
Frankly, it is the biggest game this gen.
Best shooter this gen, best driving game this gen and best RPG this gen! Great to be a gamer!
