Yep. I got sent this same thing when I made a comment about some 'statistical' information some site had published.
I did find it amusing that this guy gave no comparative 360/ Wii data, and that the data were clearly picked out solely to say that EDGE always undermarks PS3 games...
I hate it when people with no grasp of statistics try to use statistics. I could quote so many journals which explain that using a mean (or average) to make inferences is incorrect.
As gamingdroid mentioned, you can practically use statistics to generate response you want. If I were to tell you that the average house had 3 bedrooms, would that mean that no house had 2 or 4? Hell, with mathematics, I can show that 1 = 0... Only someone with a grasp of it could disprove it.

The beta was awesome!
But I didn't know all the big games embargo!!! I would have thought the devs would want the review scores out there as soon as?!
I love the way the guy tries to focus on the '3D support' text on the back of the case for about 10 seconds... then the video just snaps to a still image photo. Classic!
Review copies out now then? Anyone got any idea when the reviews are due?

Not sure if you can count Princess Peach if you're only counting protagonists? But regardless...
Lara has to be in there, Samus has to be in there, Peach (if she's allowed in, she has to be in). But the top two?! I would have thought the bottom three would be at the top?! And how can you not include Tails?!
I'd say the top 5 would contain (in no particular order) Lara Croft, Samus, Tails and Peach. For the fifth... Well, Jill (RE), Jo Dark (PD...
I haven't played a Pro Evo or FIFA game in a long time... But as far as I am aware, FIFA took the crown from Pro Evo after Pro 5... So why do konami still seem to be sitting on their hands?!
Last I read, FIFA is bringing more to the table this year... Yet Pro still seems like the same game (mechanically) it was in 2006!?
But back to my original statement. I am, by no means, dependent on good graphics - I still waste too much time on civ 2! But come on.. ...
Wait, is Forza more than one dvd? Not that it bothers me in the slightest, but I didn't know it was on more than one? (EDIT: I got the impression of multiple discs because of the last achievement on the list)
I'm still hoping that the Achievement system will evolve a little. Like, a sort of video capture for achievements would be cool! x
I have no access to my box atm!! Is it a really good game? I'm guessing the demo is just an early level?
I'm a little worried for the devs... The game looks really good! And I was a fan of Warhammer 40K when I was younger so I have been looking forward to this. But it's being released close to some of the gaming world's juggernauts. Hopefully, being released just before the bigger games will give it a good sales base.
I understand Developers releasing new content that costs, as new content doesn't just appear.
However, there are things which is a complete afront to consumers... They are Sins in the eyes of gamers:
1 - Pulling online support from those who do not purchase online DLC. This is a disgrace... It happenned on Gears 2 and on Halo 3 (and probably on other games too). If I don't want to purchase new maps, I shouldn't have to. I shouldn't lose my...
I don't know man...
I think consoles are capable of holding their ground against PCs in their early days. Don't get me wrong, PCs catch up quick (for a higher price) but you'd be crazy (imo) to suggest that consoles are always inferior to PCs.
Consoles are more for me... For the sole reason that I like the ease of it... Knowing that what ever you get on your console (90% of the time) will run how you expect it to. But I respect what the PC can...
I can only dream :(. lol
EDIT: Oh! And if you got bored of playing, you could quit and the space would free up for someone to join the Zombie team! Maybe 900 zombies and 100 humans.
... A game came out where it was like, a randomly generated city. Have like, a huge server of say 1000 people. Start with 750 of them as zombies. The zombies would be fast and strong, but the humans could find guns (with hardly any ammo). The idea of the game would be for the humans to find some sort of set of resources as a 'cure', and for the zombies to kill the humans before they did so. Whenever a zombie died, they would respawn at one of a few spawn points... Whenever a human die...
I'm sure similar deals will spread to other regions if this is only Canada, dude. Maybe they're just testing the waters there.
Off topic... (well, slightly on topic)... Anyone heard anything about a Halo:Wars sequel? I know the guys who made it disbanded, but has it been picked up elsewhere? I loved Halo:Wars.. I thihnk it was the online co op that kept me playing so much. Teaming up with a buddy against legendary AI lead to epic battles every time!
I hate to say it, mate...
But they are changing the gameplay. I read an article a while back and it said that the Halo:CE multiplayer uses the Reach engine. I hate to admit it but that ruined this remake's multiplayer for me. I wanted it to be the same as the original... Same gameplay, like you said :'(
'Physical control with vibration feedback'... Don't really want to hear about your weeekend on here, mate :P.
It's a good point, dude... But I want the old Halo back! Halo:CE was my favourite game of all time... When they announced a remake, I was hoping it'd play identically to the first game..
I understand that lots of the community like the new Halo style... but I really don't think i'm the only one who would love to see it back how it was. The series is taking a new direction, and i'm fine with that... But I just hoped to see the first one back how it was :)...
My PC is horrifically rubbish lol. So yeah i'm glad I'll be able to play this on my 360!
This is a terrible thing to admit, but I was really happy when they announced minecraft! Because (and I'm being fully honest), Minecraft causes my laptop to slow down lol.
I just want to know why they are building the multiplayer based on Reach's multiplayer?!
I thought a remake would literally just be the same (imo, best) multiplayer with maybe a slight graphics tweak and online functionality. That was all I wanted.
Why repackage the Reach multiplayer?! If you like the Reach multiplayer, play Reach! If you like the 3 multiplayer, play 3! Where did the idea of simple choice go? I just don't understand :(
Yeah I was hoping for something with a little more substance!
For me, Shenmue 3 would be enough for me to buy a console. If I didn't own the console that Shenmue 3 released on, I would buy it.
It was such a great game! Though I did spend the first half hour (this is not even a joke) knocking on every door on the way to Dobuita (I think that was the main town!) to the constant reply of "noone's home" or "Err, sorry I'm a little b...
I really want a proper boxing game! One that you go toe to toe with other fighters online! It'd be awesome if there was like, a hologram of the other person that you could 'fight' so you weren't just battling an image on the screen!
But, alas, I don't think motion controls are quite at the stage for that! Until then, I really don't mind! Anything that can get my aging parents off the couch is more than enough for me :).
