I see it a couple of ways.
1. The Wii is a great machine for what it is, but it has enjoyed success from people that aren't "Gamers", the success is on the back of older people and family. These people don't care about another Wii yet.
2. XBOX & Nintendo by going Blu-Ray are only playing catch up to Sony. They will eventually fall a full generation behind if not done next year. If the 720? or Wii2? come out with Blu-Ray, PS4 will be some other techn...
This is my main problem with how games are coming out.
MW2 is a great example > we are all aware that the fight goes back to the U.S.A but where do we get the say in that happening.
In a war (every war shooter) and you have men around you, but it feels like as long as I am alive then we win the war (unless the story says no) and we play out as Rambo. We are the gunner, sniper, rocket man, medic, saviour etc, etc.
This is the same reason why I ha...
Yeah that would get my vote.
Even the 1 shot Fat Man is impressive.
And after the first 2 levels, I couldn't believe how below average the first game was.
No skill used with the double tap aim and when you move there is no physics that have your gun move.
This game belongs in the last generation. Can't expect WM2 to be any better.
MW just ripped of Medal of Honor.
Thanks for this article, I was really having a hard time in knowing what games are going to look good in the next few months.
11 of those games have been talked, written, argued about for the last few months. WE ALREADY KNOWS THESE ARE GOING TO LOOK GOOD.
How about reporting some stuff we don't know.
After these 11, I can name another 11 that will look good too.
Agent, Halo Reach, inFamous 2, Gears 3, Killzone 3, GTA 5, Fable 3, Madd...
Lara Croft isn't anywhere near the popularity as Mario.
But Mickey Mouse, come on. Every person in the world knows who Mickey Mouse is.
The single biggest cheat in games.
Since when are soldiers WOLVERINE.
So GH/RB or singstar aren't innovative?
Mirrors Edge?
NHL/FIFA (online play and play in a team)
Wii Sports or Wii Fit?
Scribblenauts?
GTA 3?
Halo isn't innovative its EVOLUTION of FPS. GOLDENEYE>MOH>COD>HAL O>KZ2 (Cover system FPS - not innovative, EVOLUTION)
But they all have 1 thing in common - Linear. NOTHING NEW!!!!!
Alot of previous gen games were replayed more than what seems to get replayed these days.
Goldeneye absolutely. WWF Royal Rumble.
I would have had Tetris before Dr. Mario.
No civilization/sim city/age of empires? Not saying all, but maybe 1 of them.
When do you consider GH/Rockband or sport games to be replayable?
And Wii, DS & PSP too.
We have HDD - $199.95
12 months Live - $89.95
Charge & Play - $34.95
512MB Unit - $69.95 (which is as useful as T*TS on a bull)
Our RRP for 12 months is $89.95 anyway. Whats the Aussie price going to be?
I have a 360 and have been online for the first 3 months (never used) when you receive 3 months free.
I can't justify $5 a month to play online, let alone $89.95.
$179.90 is a bit too much I think.
Fallout 3 absolutely blew me away when I first played it, never played RPG game previously.
Borderlands never had my attention until the "Borderlands less boring than Fallout 3 article"
I am a little unsure of the drawing design, but great gameplay always overshadows graphics, so its going to be interesting.
On the other hand, the "Game Industry" needs games to be better than previous games of the same genre, adding something (o...
My PS3 has the YLOD and is currently getting repaired.
I have a 360 which is useless to me.
No hard-drive, no internet, I own 80 XBOX 360 games (video games rental store owner) and can't find a single game to play that is o.k to play for the next 2 weeks.
I would give away my 360 that I paid for, but I need it just to check if a disc works. Worthless piece of expensive junk (and I got GH3 and guitar with it)
But by the way you wrote this it seems like the game I am looking for.
So in an online match and I die, I have to wait for that match to finish before I rejoin (no respawning)
If so, then this is the type of shooter that I want to play.
Are there any other online shooters that do this?
Not as funny as people trying to bag people and not knowing what word should have an i in it.
Falling to Trolling > makes sense
Have you read that MS & Nintendo after price drops are selling the same amount and PS3 has increased.
You made the point that 2 billion PS2's are sold, xbox had 30 mil. So that doesn't come into account because M$ lost, tucked their tales under their legs and ran away from that fight.
Now the 360 numbers are 32 mil and most XBOX users were forced into the new purchase. PS2 is still selling, these PS2 buyers don't care about this WAR and in 5 years time they m...
"But but but... Bad Company 2 was developed with the 360 hardware in mind! The PS3 version can't possibly handle it!"
And thats why MW2, BC2, OFDR, MGS Rising will never be as good as they possibly could be. DVD holding multiplatforms back
So Raven Squad was a little iffy.
Thats a shame I was looking at that as something unique. But it don't matter how unique a game is if it don't deliver.
No one wanting a PS3 at 9 years of age is better than not wanting an XBOX 360 at age 4.
How many XBOX's got sold last month?
EDIT: @1.7 so if the XBOX sold that much, how many did the 360 sell?
