Graphics were very important till 2008, and then KZ2 came out and it turned out the PS3 with it poorly designed cell processor, inadequate RAM and weak GPU could push out graphics the 360 could only dream of - and so gameplay became more important than graphics.
Halo minus the multiplayer: 4-hour campaign with awful graphics, laughable story and setting (purple aliens with colourful weapons, really?), generic run and gun gameplay
Gamepro? 5/5
Forget that. Check out Gamepro's Halo ODST review

Let me spoil it for you: 4.5/5

Exactly. The way to look at Resistance 1 was not healthpacks, but rather 4 individual pieces of regenerating health, each with a lower margin for error (each bar wwould last a smaller level of damage). Brilliant idea, made game play so much more tense and interesting
Option1: demand that Resistance change it style to suit you
Option 2: bugger off to CoD/Halo/BF/MoH or whatever generic shooter takes your fancy, and let us enjoy a shooter that, shock, horror, plays differently
"since I've played multiplatform games that look better than those games"
Name those games, which according to you look better than GoW3, UC2, KZ3
Gears 3?Maybe if it really, really improved on Gears 2, it will come close to what is considered standard now for any PS3 exclusive.
Halo and Alan Wake do not belong in any discussion on “best graphics”.
Gears 1 maybe, simply because it was in early days of this generation, but got trumped by Uncharted 1 and looks so poor compared to KZ2, UC2, GoW3.
Gears 3? Maybe if it is any improvement over Gears 1. Gears 2 suggests thats unlikely as the 360 was maxed out in 2006.
How on earth is KZ3 anyway like CoD?
Weighty controls (even if les so than KZ2) vs arcadey
Cover based, highly intelligent AI vs waves of dumb spawning enemies
KZ3 MP = tactical team based gameplay, a lot of emphasis of movement vs CoD no teamwork, camping
KZ3 semi-alien futuristic nightmarish world vs 20th century
Forget about good scores for PS3 games, thats not going to happen, just enjoy the fact that we have so many good exclusives to play.
If a PS3 game scores 90 or 95, like LBP, it because it’s so good it’s off the scale and would get scored of 110 if that were possible. Any PS3 game > 85 is a AAA title, and equivalent to 90+ on wii or 360.
Booting up KZ3 tonight, lets have fun with the game because next month, there will be yet another awesome PS3 exlcusive ...
Well, Forza 4 is going to be superb. Its going to be 1080p, with a new physics engine, the old-gen damage model revamped, properly modelled interiors and awesome car details.
Hold on a minute.
It is shorter than I expected.
And it is getting nitpicked for factors thaat were ignored for the Halos/CoDs but that is no surprise.
Frankly, PC gaming is increasingly limited not by games - there are plenty available - but by its userbase, which just comes across as elitist and pretentious.
For instance, I was myself used to much higher resolution on PC. However, I was quite surprised to find that the PS3 didnt look too bad despite being 720p. Thats because of the distance from the screen - PC games can run at 1440p but thats an irrelevant comparison, PC needs higher resolution as you are next to the scre...
Main reason for 8.5:
"The story is awful"
How much did they score Halo, CoD and Mario Galaxy 2?
For 3 years the Insomniac franchise was the heavy lifter out of all the PS3 studios, they brought out one game every year when the media and xbox camp were trying to kill the PS3 with their "PS3 has no games, difficult to code for, weaker than 360" mantra.
I am glad now they are taking the next step, and using that exttea year to prove that they are as good technically as any other studio.
Weapon wheel back, regen health gone, coop back - Insomniac's most awesome...
Doesnt matter, I am going to enjoy the coop aspects of the game. Cant get enough Ratchet!
So whats new. Show me one PS3 exclusive which is not miles better graphically than the previous game in the franchise?
I guess you prefer Halo or CoD - no cutscenes, 2 hours of gameplay.

Among the longest games on the PS3
You could argue this was a bit like old school stealth games like MGS or Thief.
You have to be kidding, right?
Day one opurchase and 50 hours of flustrating but fun gameplay confirmed
I think the humour will appeal to people who fell Gears has a deep, involving story – and there are millions of them. Expect 360 sales to beat PS2 2-1 or more, it’s that kind of game.
