I'm from the UK and all the major retailers here (tesco, amazon uk, etc.) have been discounting avatar like crazy, it was about £17 last time i looked!!! Why would they discount if it was selling so well that it is in the top 20??!! Especially when uncharted 2 is still full price!
Haven't sony/microsoft/sega etc. always copied nintendo?
Every modern controller is based on the first ever nes design (function buttons on the right, d-pad on the left, start button in the middle).
All the current rumble pads are based on N64's rumble pak that was bundled with lylat wars 12 years ago.
The new PSP 3000 redesign includes a microphone that has been avaliable on the DS since 2005.
Surely people realise that sony and mic...
Would love this to be real but both videos were totally fake, just think MS have been watching minority report a bit too much.
The first vid with the family was obviously faked as the technology to do that standard of game is difficult on the wii with a physical remote for the sensor to recognise, let alone multiple limbs from several members of a group (e.g. the buzz type game).
Also, the mylo vid was ridiculous-i got bored just watching it, surely VG's are abou...
The future won't be this or Blu-ray, it will be downloadable content once broadband has become even faster, which I would assume would be in the next couple of years. We have already seen the download market explode with music and films with virgin/sky/itunes etc. Pvr boxes and services deal with both types of media now and people don't want the clutter of cd/dvd/bluray boxes. It would also be cheaper to produce for the companies as there are no disc manufacturing and distribution costs. If y...
The DS is for people who have a brain in their head, the PSP is surely just a handheld PS2 isn't it??!! The DS does have it's fair share of rubbish (like every console does, including the hardcore), but it is also the most innovative and fresh console ever. Elements like the microphone being used to shout "objection" in Phoenix Wright or hotwiring a car using the stilus in GTA CTW are some of the most original ideas I have ever seen in gaming and are certainly more enteraining than ...
But RE5 is rubbish (based on the demo), it may be prettier than RE4, but it is A LOT slower and the co op ruins it IMO. Also, I don't think this hiphopgamer is that bigger fan, wasn't the first RE released THIRTEEN years ago??!! (not "almost ten").
Who cares what the Guardian says, this is the same newspaper that blames gaming for murder and other real life violence on a regular basis (e.g. Manhunt, gta, mk, etc). As if i'm going to let some middle class ponce tell me what to play!!!
I don't agree with the content of the game, but some of the racist remakes on this site aimed at Japan are disgusting.
The comments about the Japanese people being weirdos and having the highest number of rapes in the world is ludicrous, most of the people commenting on this issue seem to be from the USA and guess which country has the highest number of rapes and murders per capita in the world??? It's USA for all the less perceptive people out there (source-nationmaster).

I don't condone the content of this game, but i would rather people did this sort of thing (gaining power through violence or sex) in gaming/porn/fantasies rather than in real life. I also think it is relevant to remind people that a few years ago a NY policeman defended GTA for the same reason. Finally I think it is extremely ironic that people are so racist about the Japanese people when a) it is one of the safest nations on earth, b) the same racist people are discussing the importance of ...
I have already cancelled my pre-order and I think that they are being extremely generous in giving it an 8. I was a HUGE fan of the series in both the original and newer (Resi 4) styles, (probably more so in the newer style as I bought it on both wii and ps2), but resi 5 is slow, boring, not scary and the co op ruins the suspense of being a lone figure against many zombies.
....it's much better than RATM or another bloody x-factor winner!!!
