CRank: 5Score: 4370

I have to admit, for a while even I thought that the Playstation free-three would catch up or somehow outclass the Xbox360 even though the 360 is clearly the superior console.

There were doubts, like Metal Gear Solid somehow becoming more than a niche success and going on to be Sony's killer app.

But no longer, I can truthfully say to this day proudly that there isn't a single game I miss on playstation 3 -- Not a single one!

The only game I was ...

Well what can I say, this is the first time to me Sony has shown any signs of moving in the right direction.

I'm going to bring up an intelligent quote in a minute here, and then I am going to explain why its true:

"this sorta shows that ps1, and ps2's success was purely based on third party support (and maybe an ease of development on the platform, along with japanese supporting their own machine). Although i recognize their success, i never saw any appeal in ...

It's no surprise at all that the inevitable buyout of Take-Two interactive by EA is now on the table, but the question is going by what's real, is this what is best for gaming in general.

Well, the way I see it this is definitely what's best for gaming. Its no small secret that John Roc now heads part of Microsoft's division, and EA has grown up alot as a company. They even apologized about the acquisition of Bullfrog which led to a dismal failure in their games.

Microsoft wasn't joking, the fact that GTA4's exclusive levels are the size equivalent of entire games is a stealth kill. Its so amazing that its almost as if the PS3 version doesn't exist at all.

Lost Odyssey is one of the best games out. But now it has become immediately clear to me, that the PS3 will not have the best lineup.

Just as always, it was saving its surprises for later.

And at GDC it was revealed that this year, 360 will be getting a line...

When Shane Kim said that the only real version of Grand Theft Auto 4 was the 360 version of the game, he wasn't joking.

Clearly this is so unbelievable it makes it seem like the PS3 version doesn't even exist. Talk about a one two punch.

But now it has become immediately clear to me, that the PS3 will not have the best lineup.

And at GDC it was revealed that this year, 360 will be getting a lineup that basically obliterates the paltry PS3 lineup in comparison.

"You think banjo is going to steal attention away from metal gear solid 4, gran turismo, little big planet, and resistance 2?"

No, but I think its very likely Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Too Human and Halo Chronicles will.

In Europe especially, particularly Too Human. The main "gap" if there even is one IS in Europe with the PS3/360.....Not in North America where PS3 is basically counted out. I'm talking about Europe, where 360 is fast biting at thei...

First of all, Tales of Vesperia is 360 exclusive for now. Its in full HD, it will have exclusive achievements and so on and it remains exclusive.

Second of all, Sony fanboys are in need of a major mea-culpa.

Clearly, the only real thing going for PS3 right now is Blu-Ray, that and its major games like FF 13 were delayed well into 2009.

Secondly this is going to be another major year for the Xbox360 and its time to buckle down and accept that, there is...

The Xbox360 is going to dominate this year with little issue, since its not even complete with its surprise announcements.

Sony may not be either, but one can not underestimate the power of being prepared. Microsoft will always have a few unannounced games like Forza Motorsport 3 and Halo Chronicles, since they are always at work on so many games.

And in fact new franchises like Too Human are where its at, as Too Human has PROVEN you don't need a bunch of sequels to...

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the Playstation 3 and its "Blu Ray" but for 2008 realistically this is the new FAD and Xbox360 was always going to dominate 2008.

First, let me explain why.

Microsoft always knew Sony would hype up its 2008 lineup early, and in the process it would end up blowing its wad.

Instead of hyping its games early, Microsoft did the opposite of Sony, and created a counter-move for them by keeping the details c...

These games look mediocre at best, and oh by the way..........

Sony bots, I love Blue Dragon also. I find the Blue Dragon series better than any RPG on dreamcast, nearly any RPG on ps2, and as good as the best of the hits.

And Blue Dragon 2 is all 360 exclusive. Plus, Lost Odyssey is far better than Blue Dragon is so that means an epic entertaining RPG is all our own now.

This also means the 360 is strong in other genres now such as the RPG genre, wit...

Ubisoft "should" be worried, in fact they should be bought by Microsoft instead and make Farcry Xbox360 exclusive.

That's how painful it is to program for the unregulated Playstation three.

How completely banal of you to show your insecurities this early, at least none of us are already declaring we won the console war. You insecure Sony-ites do nothing but declare you won, even when you haven't and your games have yet to materialize.

Did you really need to bask in the glow of this foolishness? I'm presently enjoying another RPG for the 360, and plan to enjoy many more, there's hardly the time to piddle with this nonsense.

Do yourselves a favor and ju...

If Sony decides to butter up by releasing a Metal Gear Solid demo with the pre-orders, it will only show their absolute desperation despite a so called impressive lineup.

First being, Metal Gear is not even close to the incredible juggernaut Grand Theft Auto is-- and second to being, Splinter Cell has taken away alot of its marketshare in Europe as well as the fact the MG storylines are pretty bad.

And because MGS4 is the biggest game for them, I would expect it to ...

If Too Human is refined and worked on to the level that Denis Dyack wants it to be at, Playstation 3 doesn't stand a chance on any front this year.

"Too Human" will teach us all a little bit more about what it means to be human. And the amount of classes it allows you to choose is enormous, as well as being set in a mythological world with co-op play.

All the best elements of Mass Effect turned into a deeper game with the very nice multiplayer RPG aspect ...

The choice is clear for many, for others its not clear. But for many, they will choose Forza over Gran Turismo. I would always choose "Fable" over Final Fantasy. And once again, its due to the types of games we play vs the other side.

First of all, the Playstation 3 lineup is nothing. Its more or less relying on Metal Gear and the promise of the future FF to sell the system to the masses. For those people, the lineup beats everything. But only for those absolute fans ...

While Xbox relies primarily on Halo and Gears, it can NOW officially rely on a new franchise: Mass Effect, and they have the consolation of having the most diverse games on the current market.
