Here's the problem with your assertion. You're appraising my statement based on the fact that I used proper grammar. You seem to allude that I'm some type of "nerd" because I'm able to communicate fluently. That says much more about you than it does me. The truth is that I'm a 6'2" 210 lb. ex-college athlete who graduated summa cum laude from one of the best universities in the country. I have a very successful career and I make over $300,000/year. I'...

Your sentence structure is actually LONGER than necessary. You're Internet grammar rulebook is just a poor excuse to hide your inability to construct coherent thoughts and compose proper sentences. It doesn't take any more time or effort to SPELL a word correctly.
Go to school...go learn something.

Don't use the term "fanboy". It makes you sound like a tool.

I thought that I was the only one who was disappointed with MW2. I'm a bit late to the party on this one as I just recently purchased the game. I'm about 1/3 through the single player campaign and I'm just not feeling it. I'm not sure that the missions are compelling enough for me to finish the game.

Microsoft is one of the most philanthopic corporations in the world. The Bill Gates foundation has an endowment of 33 BILLION dollars which is used to alleviate extreme poverty and advance global health. Microsoft's total charitable donations are second only to those of Warren Buffet in the United States. Sony has been known to rebuff charitable requests even when they come from such well known organizations as the Cancer Society.

Every corportaion is concerned with the...

I'm curious...what is the age cut-off in which it's still acceptable for a person to write things like "Sony 'till I die"? I would think anything after 13 then you would be considered a complete tool. What do you guys think?

Why would a self proclaimed XBOX fan sell their beloved system just because Microsoft has released Kinect? Move, Kinect and Wii Motion Plus are all OPTIONAL accessories...you don't have to buy them to enjoy playing games on your console. I don't see any change in the way MS is approaching the core game market since the release of Kinect. There are still just as many traditional (non-Kinect) titles on the horizon as there were before Kinect. The sales of Kinect actually drive up the in...

I'm not trying to start a console war but every company has its share off "deep-discount" promotions. Sony is currently giving away a PS3 if you buy certain Sony branded TVs. They also are in the midst of multiple promotions in which a retailer (Amazon, Best But, Target, Wal-Mart) will give you a $100 gift certificate if you buy a PS3. THAT is a great promotion (I picked up 2 as gifts) but it does seem a bit "desperate" as you put it. Don't you think?

No one said that you have to switch to a Windows 7 phone. You're obviously happy (a bit too happy...how's that Koolaid?) with you Android phone. You should have mentioned in your first post that you "tried" a Windows Phone 7 in a store. That type of in-depth analysis certainly qualifies you to make an impartial judgement on the device. Its funny though, I would think that someone like yourself with so much experience using a Windows Phone would know that there area already a...

Perhaps if you tried a Windows 7 phone then you wouldn't be so fast with the snarky and uninformed comments. I've shown my Samsung Focus Windows 7 phone to a lot of people (iPhone & Android users) and ALL of them have been very impressed with the device. Many have even admitted to having a bit of tech envy and are seriously considering switching to the Windows 7 platform. Sorry to burst your bubble but Microsoft is in the for the long haul.

Definitely one of the best bargain games available! Pick this title up and you won't be disappointed.

It really sucks (for me) to see all these great offers after having paid $230 (phone + upgrade fee/tax) for a Windows 7 phone a little more than a montha ago. The sales associate even tried to get me to pay the full $400 price because he said that I "wasn't eligible for an upgrade".
Windows Phone 7 is terrific and I don't regret the purchase but it stings a bit to find out that the early adopters are getting left out of these deals.

This is a poor comparison. The video of the XBOX 360 version appears soft due to the fact that the footage is interlaced (pause the video and you will see the frames are over-lapping). The footage of the PS3 version has been captured in a progressive format and has also been adjusted properly (brighter, sharper and better contrast). If they are going to compare the game on two competing systems they should do it on equal ground.

I have no doubt that the game will be optimiz...

I bought 10 games (7 for XBOX 360 & 3 for PS3) from Gamefly during a recent promotion. I have another 8 titles in my collection that I have yet to play. It will take me about 2 years to finish these games. I'll probably pick up a few more games in that time so I'm well stocked for the foreseeable future. I'm in no rush to move beyond this generation.*

*Ironically, I picked up a XBOX 360 on the day of it's initial release.

"There's a huge chance of Microsoft ditching the game market."

What are you basing this ridiculous statement on...your hopes and dreams?

5541d ago 4 agree9 disagreeView comment

I guess that you don't watch TV...or read magazines...or listen to the radio...or browse the web. Windows 7 phones have saturated the media marketplace since their release. They're also receiving great reviews accross the board.

I actually saw an ad for Windows Phone 7 from AT&T on TV as I wrote this post.

TROLL FAIL!

Have you even seen a Windows 7 phone? The Windows 7 phone platform has been getting stellar reviews from all types of media sources. The operating system has been tested and it outperforms the iphone and Android platform in a number of categories. I purchased a Samsung Focus Windows 7 phone and I've been shocked at how many people have commented in a postive manner once they have seen the device. It is the best smart phone device that I have ever owned. I've even seen a few Apple die-...

Waaahh...Microsoft charges me for things. Waaaah...Microsoft is mean and greedy.

Will you listen to yourself? Complaining just to be heard...You must be a JOY to be around.

Stop crying you damn crybaby!

You're about as subtle as a nuclear bomb. Don't be such a troll.

I picked up the Samsung Focus Windows phone last week. Everyone that I've shown it too was envious (including iphone owners). It's a great platform and will only get better in revisions.

For the record I think that the iphone and Android phones are great.

I'm about 2/3 through this title and I think it's one of the most engaging experiences that I've had in gaming. I really enjoy "story driven" games and this one just oozes atmosphere and dread. The narrative is compelling, the graphics are outstanding and the sound design is absolutely top notch. Perhaps some of its detractors have not given the full game a chance or maybe they've played it under less than ideal circumstances. Alan Wake is a game that definitely beni...
