Haha, and BioShock isn't a casual FPS? Don't make me laugh.
No good Wii games coming out this holiday season? What happened to ToS2, Little King's Story, de Blob, Wario Land, and Day of Crisis? Dang.
Animal Corssing, eh? What idiots approved this?
Badjoystick material. How did this get approved?
That sure is a long list! This leads me to doubt that this guy knows what he's talking about though:
"Sonic: Underworld" appeared on his list.
First of all, Sonic Underworld? Uhh... I think it's Sonic Unleashed. Second of all, everyone that's played the game so far has said it's turning out to be mediocre at best. There's a long list of questionable titles there. But I agree with the main idea, anyways.
Hoping to get the following for/by Christ...
"The casual consumer loves to save as much money as possible. My mom would rather buy a compilation of 50 movie adaptation games then buy something like Metroid Prime 3, because it is a better deal. And don’t laugh, she is a gamer, she has a Wii and Rock Band and plays it almost every day." Hahaha, I don't think this warrants the definition of "gamer". Casual gamer, maybe.
Also, <3 compilation games. Megaman X, Sonic Gems, and Sonic Mega Collection are deli...
I think sequelitis is a good term for games that keep getting sequels, all the while doing nothing new or interesting. Final Fantasy, and Halo are two big offenders. GTA4 and Twilight Princess also, with RE5 looking like it's gonna take a similar path (RE4 with updated visuals, if you ask me... but that doesn't bother me cause I love RE4). However, some games that receive sequels manage to keep the gameplay fresh and entertaining. Mario Galaxy, RE4. Even the handheld Pokemon games get enough ...
I got a hilarious PM the other day.
" dude PS3 will win the console war
It is no2 in the console sales WW
It is just 3m behind x360 in WW sales
PS3 will overtake x360 by december or by JUNE 2009 at max in WW sales
PS3 will overtake the wii in 2 years time
X360 will be dead last this gen too "
I kinda felt bad for the kid! I mean, sure, PS3 has a chance of over-taking the 360, but the Wii? I can't see...
I find it funny that you call me an Xbox fanboy, as I pretty much detest everything about it (paid online, few exclusives, etc.). I only have a Wii, to be honest, and I love it. But I can admit that every console maker has made tons of mistakes this gen. They're all scrambling to fix their mistakes too, but I have a feeling that Nintendo's gonna be the group that makes the same mistakes next gen.
Hopefully it does outsell Halo 3. That piece of utter mediocrity never deserved the recognition it got.
Driving in GTA4 is pretty much what turned me off of the game. It felt like rollerblading on ice. Vice City is the peak of the series (in my opinion).
I find the idea of a Sonic RPG funny. You see, an RPG usually focuses on the story of the characters in the game. But the Sonic universe is home to some of the worst video game characters ever.
But that doesn't really bother me anyways, since I (ironically) could care less about the storyline in an RPG.

Well what do you think they're gonna do next gen? What's so crazy about my predictions? I said Microsoft probably learned their lesson with their early launch and faulty consoles. Do you think they're gonna just launch early and unprepared again? Do you think, then, that the Sony folks didn't learn their lesson by pricing the PS3 too high? Do you think Nintendo has learned their lesson about mistreating the hardcore? I think that's one thing that may be debatable.
...
oops. delete please.
Many games do not deserve to be on this list. Twilight Princess, Halo 3, Wii Sports and especially Fallout 3. How can a game that hasn't yet been released be on a top 50 list? Great games like Morrowind, and Super Mario Galaxy (a game I don't particularly like, but can admit that it's good), in addition to Ocarina of Time and the original Half-Life... wow, this list truly blows.
...That was my point. How much money did they make this gen?
I have a feeling that if Sony's next console does as well, or worse than the PS3, that that might be their last gen. But I think they learned their lesson from the PS3 launch.
I think that Microsoft will be around for awhile. They have an endless supply of money. I think they too learned their lessons with the 360 launch. At least, I hope they did. Don't think they'll address the issue of console exclusives ever though. I think the Xbox brand will be the home for neither casual n...
And yet Halo 3 and GTA4 get 10/10. Oh, okay...
edit: And the review! Oh god, the way it's written... could it BE any more pretentious?
Heard this news yesterday, I think. Very awesome news, indeed! I was looking forward to this game so much. I think I'll likely pick it up right away.
Worst fanboyism ever in this comments section. Their dreams sound like something out of a retarded fanfic.
I agree with the majority of the list, but... I think the virtual boy should replace Rare. It seems like Nintendo sold Rare at the right time. They don't seem to be doing much for Microsoft.
