I never said the 360 has a drought of quality games, I actually stated that 360 is a great system. As for your metacritic rebuttal, if you were to take a look at that list, most of those games are multiplatform, xbla ( which for some reason dont appeal to the mass public and the same goes for psn as well), and dont forget to add rated DLC. So I really think that number is skewed. Now i fyou want to use metacritic look back and count how many console exclusives one each system are above 80 pe...

MGS rising 360 exclusive, M$ purchases insomniac games, or Gears of war "PS" 3.

But most games that launch are always buggy and ultimately get a patch to stabilize their performance. The only 2 games that come to mind when thinking of a significant difference in overall performance was the orange box and bayonetta. (Maybe black ops but that game was just buggy overall) but in general multiplatform releases are now very comparable if not the same. that statement was definately true in the beginning of ps3's life cycle but I really dont think it still hold that much me...

Everyone always says that but, can you give me a good reason why it wont. I have (had 360 bit the bullet a couple months back) both systems and just prefer the ps3 because of the exclusives. Online play wasnt that different in my mind. The layout for live was much better and smoother but overall I cant say that the differences were night and day.

Those are great numbers but I honestly dont get it. 360 is a great system but I think in terms of games the PS3 has a better overall selection. Even if people dont agree, there really isnt any reason that the 360 should be outselling the ps3 the way it has been. The numbers should be alot closer. I can see why the 360 does poorly in japan, because the original xbox never did well in japan. But, the ps3 has the ps2 in the americas so their is no real excuse. And before people just go hitting t...

I wouldnt be suprised if the Wii did sell half million. The Wii sold for 99 dollars. For most shoppers on black friday quality doesnt drive sales, low prices do. When people are looking at the 3 consoles and are wondering which one to buy the $100 difference is the deciding factor. So congrats Wii............ for being cheaper.

Their has been tons of great games that have come out since but, I think metal gear (while not the best) still hold its own. As a fan I thought the game was a masterpiece from the beginning to end (although the cute scenes were long and convoluted). The multiplayer aspect was some of the most fun that I had in quite a long time. It would have been perfect, if that damn konami ID and 6hr download times didnt screw up everything. Come to think of it I would love to play online again but, I ha...

The fact that CoD has become a sports game is the reason that so many people are getting tired of the series. When people purchase a title unless its an NBA or NFL game, no one expects it to be a refresh. For the past 6 years, CoD has been just that. I think the market is oversaturated with CoD and people just want something new from the series. Unfortunately new means another way for activision to cash in; prime example CoD elite (the optional 50 dollar social application) and the "new&...

Uhhhh I dont think it really matters. I just dont believe that the two should be compared. Once again, its just sad.

I dont think its call of duty hate I just think CoD is the FPS equivalent of Madden. It was fun but now its $65 for new perks and a new map pack.

I didnt read the article but, the title is just pathetic. I love video games as much as the next person but wow....... just wow....

Maybe its just me but, I can always wait until the next day to purchase a game. I have a job and unfortunately (as much as I would love to) I dont get paid to play video games. I never understood why people will wait in the cold for a game that they can easily get if they went to the store at 9am in the morning. Maybe its just me.

Wow Maybe its just me but, $50 for a portable game is a little steep. LOL to tell you the truth I dont like paying $60 for a ps3 game much less. Is the 3ds that powerful of a system that the development costs dwarf or equal home consoles........ I dont think so.

Theirs a big difference between sharing your opinion and intentionally low balling a review. Whether its right or not, people use review scores to determine whether or not their gonna purchase a game. I respect eurogamers review because it was well written well stated. How do you review a "12hr" game and only utilize 5 very short paragraphs to explain your rational and expect the readers to think that it was insightful and truthful. He states the gameplay is archaic but, I would lik...

For all those people that disagreed with me, my point is simple; MGS rising will obviously do better
1. because more people own a ps3 now
2. Its multiplatform and multiplatform games (good or bad) more times than not sell pretty well.
Its like me saying " well if halo 4 came to the ps3 it well sell more units than any other halo game ever sold" of course it would you have 50 million other potential people to purchase the game as well as the original fan b...

So let me get this straight, what the author is saying is that MGS rising will sell more because its multiplatform ....... did we really need an article to state that. I mean honestly......... And then he goes on to compare Gears 3 to MGS4. I mean last time I checked MGS4 came out more than 3 years ago to a significantly smaller install base than what both systems have today. I mean I commend the author for writing an article but....... this was pretty bad.

People need to stop being so dependent on game reviews. At the end of the day the people who review games are ........"human" just like me and you, they have biases, they have likes, dislikes, and preferences. You can always take what they say into consideration but, at the end of the day your gonna be the one playing the game. Perfect example is gta 4 I thought the game was ok but, most reviewers thought it was the greatest game ever. I personally like san andreas better.

It's not the first gt5 did it and everything is def not photo realistic. U can be s fan but try to be objective. Forza is good but gt5 is also really good neither of which deserve a perfect score

5200d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

Ok Forza may be good but its def not close to being perfect. This website is bootleg.
