The critic scores mean jack.
The sales of the games will decide which game is more popular and more successful.
Gears of War series by the numbers:
Gears of War 1 and 2 have both sold over 6 million sales each.
Uncharted 1 sold just over 3 million sales and Uncharted 2 sold over 4 million sales in 2 years.
Uncharted 1 average score was 88, Gears of War was 94.
UC 2 average review score was 96, Gears of War 2 average was 93.
Uncharted 3...
PS3 requires mandatory installs to run most games whereas the installs on the 360 are optional. Even without installing the game on 360 it runs just as good as the installed PS3 version. 360 has a better graphics card than the PS3 and does not suffer from the games graphics being washed out.
PS3 has a much faster CPU and a Blu-Ray to make up for its weaker graphics card. PS3 upgrades the game from 720p to 1080p but looks washed out.
I will stick to playing t...
720p native resolution looks better than upgraded 1080p. Clearly the 360 version looks much better than the washed out PS3 version.
KZ2 had terrible controls: too heavy and very sluggish.
Resistance 1,2 and 3 are all way behind Gears of War trilogy in regards to popularity, reviews, online and sales.
XBox Live is better than PSN. You get what you pay for. Pay nothing and do not expect much. XBox Live is up to date and secure.
Dare I say it: Gears of War 3 is the best game ever.
Stuff the annual upgrades to play PC games. PS3 and XBox 360 both deliver on good versions of the game and maintain the same specifications without upgrades for their life spans.
XBox 360 version over PS3 due to 360 looks better for most multi-platforms due to its superior graphics card, XBox Live is better than PSN and shooters are so much better with a 360 controller.
Kinect and PS Move are fads and cash ins on the casual gamers. I am no fan of either Kinect or Move.
Bit of a wait before the new consoles have Slim Models released. It takes 2 or 3 years before the developers release the good games and get used to the new system. A system in its first year or two with a limited games library and a high price tag to match. Being an early adopter of the product comes at a cost.
Vita and 3DS have to compete with the ever popular IPad in a three way war featuring Sony, Nintendo and Apple. There is nothing worse than Apple fan boys.
10 years is pretty much expected of a PlayStation. PS4 hopefully will play the entire PS3 games library and be backwards compatible. Sticking with Blu-Ray and upgrading its speed for the PS4 would be a good move.
IMHO Console gaming is much better than PC gaming. You do not need those 2 year upgrades. Consoles last 5 to 7+ years before they get upgraded.
Besides shooters and MMORPGs what games are good on PC? Racing games and sports sims and others look and feel better on a HD console with a HDTV.
Metal Gear Solid HD on PS3 for the win. Great purchase for MGS4/PS3 owners who did not play the three MGS games on PS1/PS2.
MGS3D on 3DS would be a gimped rail shooter and a half ass game just like most third party games on a Nintendo system.
VGChartz are wrong and their weekly sales numbers are completely made up. Some dude makes up the numbers weekly numbers on his laptop. VGChartz and its weekly numbers are a complete joke. Sales numbers for games have been off NPD and other professional tracking sites
Hardware numbers shipment figures are released in quarterly updates and it would not take much to guess hardware sales numbers.
NPD, Gfk, Famitsu, etc numbers are copied by VGChartz and adjustm...
360 version has less content and is compressed data in SD. The PS3 version is fully uncompressed data in HD.
Installing the game on 360 increases the load times but it takes a lot of space on the 360 HDD.
FMV cut scenes for PS3 better be good it is on Blu-Ray in 1080p True HD. The 360 HDD can not generate 1080p. PS3 looks much better than the 360 version. But too bad that is all that Final Fantasy XIII has is cotton candy graphics. The game is a huge let down and is arguably the worst main FF game. Metacritic proves this FFXIII is a disappointment.
720p for game play in PS3 version. 576 p for game play in the 360 version. The cut scenes have be gimped for the 360 version. A lot of cont...
Lots of Internet users only look at the review score and rarely read the game reviews. If the review score number is below their expectations they form a thread on the net to whine about it.
