"I can't believe how delusional some people are. The 360 lineup is filled with much heavier hitters. The only big games on the PS3 are God of War 3 and GT5 and maybe The Last Guardian (if it comes out in 2010). The 360 lineup is packed full of HUGE games throughout the entire year."

What constitutes as a heavy hitter? I see Halo: Reach for the 360, and that's it. Mass Effect didn't fly off the shelves, Splinter Cell has always been niche, so what other heavy hitters are...

The autosave in Resistance annoys me. For a game that's supposed to be played on the go, the saving points are ridiculously far apart.

My rule of thumb now is to never quit the game until I hear the British narrator's voice. I lost half an hour of playing the last time I quit.

That kills the game for me. If it happens again, I'm not sure I'll pick it back up for a long time.

"real men play games lik halo,"

Hahaha! Do you prefer the pink or the purple armor?

I hate to break it to you, but no video game will make you a "real man". Go kill a Grizzly with your bare hands, or at least do something worthwhile in real life, then you might be able to call yourself a "real man". But right now, you just sound like a toolshed with a faulty keyboard.

Hilarious article. My favorite pa...

The list is by year, not by visual fidelity. They are not saying Crysis looks worse than MGS4. Look closely, they picked the best looking games for each year. Hence the absence of Killzone 2.

Now calm down.

Edit: Turns out I was late to the party. Haha.

They still play pretty much the same. If you didn't like the first, you probably won't like the second.

I thought the pacing was better in the second one, personally. But I love them both.

No love for a lot of great games. Don't worry, this is a list of the most popular, not the best.

Resistance, Syphon Filter, MGS: PO, Loco Roco, LBP, etc. are all missing from the list.

"I personally have not played the game so I cannot comment on exactly how GOTY worthy it was"

And therein lies the problem. I'm not saying you guys are biased. But it does make me question how much of the staff was able to actually play Uncharted 2. I mean, how many people even own a PS3 considering they work for an Xbox 360 site? Using the voting system you did, Uncharted 2 is at an immediate disadvantage because it's less accessible.

Now again, I'm not sa...

I believe she was referring to the main demographic, which is, in fact, men in their late teens/early twenties. Even Jack said so.

Get off the woman's back for Pete's sake.

"OMG how dumber can this comment really be!"

I think you just answered your question.

In case you haven't heard, the first half of XIII is supposed to be fairly linear. Many think this might have something to do with it being dumbed down to fit X360's DVD medium. Also, it's worth noting that porting takes time away from further development. So it either ends up delaying the game, or if affects the quality. Both are not good for gamers. Many PS3 owners want ...

Well if we can take anything away from this, it's that Versus is still very much alive. If I'm ever going to play a new Final Fantasy, this is it. I hate turn-based systems and I like dark games. Perfect.

I'm sorry, but I didn't like Borderlands at all. I mean, it was okay, but it's something I'll quickly forget about. Then again, I don't really like RPGs, so that definitely had something to do with it.

And for anyone wondering, I beat the entire game playing online co-op every step of the way. I even got a little started on my second playthrough.

Now I'm not saying it was a bad game, just not my type of game.

Platinum'd inFAMOUS, own Killzone 2 (and sti...

First of all, I believe this is for launch consoles only (20 Gb and 60 Gb). Second of all, I think you can pay $179 and get a Launch console back OR you can pay $120 and get a Slim back. Perhaps I'm reading that wrong though.

I did the smart thing and bought an extended warranty. My PS3 has broken 3 times (two Blu-ray drives out, and one weird freezing problem). All three happened outside of Sony's warranty. The first two were fixed by the third party and MY console was shipped back to me (no wiped harddrive, same serial number).

The third time I sent it to them, it was something they couldn't fix. So what did they do? They paid for Sony to fix it for me. That's right, my extra $50 paid for two of th...

For those that don't have a wheel (like me) and don't like accelerating/braking with the right stick (like me), you can go to options at the main menu and map the accelerate/brake to R2/L2. This will make it easier to vary the pressure on the gas and brake.

Now to be honest, I've been playing GT since GT2, and I still suck. It takes an incredible amount of precision and patience to be really good at these games. It can be frustrating, but with practice, it pays off. Or, if you're...

Now bear in mind that I only played the demo, but I disliked Bioshock - a lot.

The atmosphere was awesome, I loved the underwater world. However, I'm the exact opposite of kavet, I hated the enemies. I don't know if they were just too weird for me, or not based enough in reality, but I just disliked them with a passion. Perhaps it's my fault for having certain expectations about them.

The second thing I completely disliked were the Elementals.

I like my ...

Can anyone name them all?

I know Master Miller, and it looks like Olga will be making an appearance as a child (she looks like Sunny after all). And Zero and Big Boss, of course.

But who is the guy that looks like Ottacon?

Why would Sony do this? Don't they want to sell PSP's? Still getting one for the portability, but if this is true, I'm going to feel a little silly.

This was the one reason I actually liked HDDVD. Glad it's finally coming to Blu-ray. I hope more studios continue the trend.
