I agree with this 3 on the list.I can't comment on Gears 2 because I haven't played it,but I liked the first one.LBP,I still play with my 5 year ols son most weekends.The game is genius.
I am going to make an unpopular suggestion though.....Mario galaxy should take it's place.I hate Mario art design and have never been a huge fan(Mario 64 was very good but I didn't play it all.Didn't own N64)but I had to play most of Galaxy for my son.It's too hard for him.
I fail to see how thi...
Most of these issues you can only spot with the systems next to each other.Many of the frame,textures issues and such like you wouldn't see any other way.I love these people that claim a 2 frame drop ruins a game for them.Don't ever play an ambitious game like GTA then.
The biggest multi format issues are extra content or maybe achievements and trophies.
I own both.Me and 3 other friends have now cancelled Live subs because it offers few extra features(I don't care about cross game chat and invites.I mean,just send a message to invite someone.Not a big deal)and offers an often inferior play experience with fewer players and more frequent kicking from games.Yes,I did say that and yes,I have used both.Also,all this talk of technical superiority of Live is nonsense.The service is down more often,once for 2 weeks at xmas.Live mostly tops out at 1...
Hence why me and 2 of my closest friends have cancelled our Live subs and play on PSN.Despite what people say PSN is superior in some ways.Player counts and lag are superior.Killzone wouldn't be the same with a paltry 16 players.
Well GiantEnemyCrab I guess that's a difference between me and you.I don't just read N4G.I read a lot of stuff,listen to podcasts etc.I love the fact that you chose to jump on that and not the point of what I wrote.I hope you are happpy in your world of intelligence living on this site.
Point stands that the year on year increase is nonsense and the 360 owns most media and forums.Must be the free ones they all got.
I take it most 360 fans just take the MS press releases as gospel.
You need to look at the big picture.There is a big reason that MS are reporting year on year increases and no one else is.
You can look it up if you like.It's a complete misnonmer.I'll predict it stops in October.
Are you ready?
The 360 from Jan 08 to September 08(before the price drop)was getting hammered in sales.The Wii was setting records and the PS3 was outselling it in ALL territories(yes,incl...
MGS has 20 games in dev was that?Must be mini games.They have about 4 or 5 studios.The reason some of us don't think Natal is forward thinking is because everything shown so far has been seen before.
Interactive water(eyetoy tech demo from about 2003)
Burnout racer controls(Anti grav PS2 game from 2004)
Hit things game(Kung Foo-eyetoy play PS2)
Menu control(since eyetoy appeared)
Head tracking/mic array/augmented reality(current PSeye)

This is the downside of the internet.I uneducated 9 year old can have a website and no one is any the wiser.The important thing is that the increase is many fold and that it outsells the competition by 3 to 1.
The grey friend boxes are the only thing I didn't like.Everything else good.
Talking about features is one thing but there is a more basic problem for 360.It's DVD playback is ugly as hell next to PS3,which has very good(better than my mid range up scaling pioneer)DVD playback.Blu ray is just fantastic too but I'm pointing out that lists of what they can do ignores the quality issue.The gap is large,I've used both.
The problem I have is that MS out right lied again."We count sold to consumers".That is a LIE.They didn't like that consumers understood Sonys use of shipped to mean sold to retailers so they rebranded it as sold to mean "sold to retailers".Sony in Q3 08 stopped using shipped and starting using the same method as Nintendo as sold meaning "sold to consumers"
So the figures from MS are shipped and Sonys are actually sold,as are Nintendos.
If you want ...
Why does anyone think that 360 games should make that list?I'd put Rachet in before any 360 game.Some people on the sites forum suggeated Forza 3 but that's horribly washed out for me and so far short of GT5 that including it would be wrong.The best 360 game this year will be L4D 2,which will be fantastic.It wouldn't win any graphics awards though.
Oh everyone knows that Live is better,except it's not such a clear statement as some with have you believe.
It that article the writer says"I've HEARD there are more connection errors on PSN"He doesn't know and has no basis for comparison.It's also not true.The biggest thing people hold up is cross game chat.Nice idea,but do you really sit chatting when playing any serious online game?I struggle to keep talking during Killzone 2 with friends in my squad.
PSN is superio...
Hand cream and a swift hand motion.
Nonsense.This like the Wii totally fails to live up to the hype.I've played most of it for my son.After an Edge 10 and many top awards I expected something exceptional.It's really not brillant.I'd give it a 7/10.The camera is a dog,mario seems to vary his jump distance on a whim,the graphics are not great(but I will say that I hate the Mario look/art design and always have).I understand most of you will disagree but heh that's life.I preferred Rachet by miles in everyway and the worst thing f...
Another MS puff piece.Ill informed.Didn't MS do well with only their 2nd console?No,they have bought their position through affording failure.Sony were profitable and succesful with their 1st console,MS lost 4-6 billion dollars which they are no where near recouping.Yes,they can afford it and weath is wonderful but success is profit.
The Wii is the fastest selling console of all time.The Ps2 is the 2nd fastest(and greatest seller total-138 million of all time).What is the 3rd fastest s...
Anyone defending MS over this is a stonewall idiot.I mean a real moron.This Live arguement being so superior to PSN is also something I don't buy.This seems to entail cross game chat and invites,well I won't cross game chat anyway.Most games you focus on and unless you are playing together aren't going to be talking and as for invites,on PSN send a message.The weaknesses of Live against PSN seems to be happily ignored.Most Live games top out at 16 players,PSN are 32 on average and go higher.L...
Yeah,this is what I've said to all who will listen for 2 years.I can't get my head around it.It's even stranger that they choose a heinous company like MS to support instead.It's like a nasty little guild.One reason may be that MS gave them free 360s and Live accounts(Shane Bettenhausen said it on 1up podcast before he left journolism)and Sony did not.
I thought we'd got passed this ill informed nonsense.What a load of bollocks.
I know a couple of those games are next year but check the scores anyway.
