Killzone 2 is INSANE!!!! It doesn't matter what anyone says about it, K2 is a great game, easily worthy of legendary status. (Calm down, I am not saying it's the only legend, however, it is in the league of Crysis, Gears, Halo, Half-Life, and Call of Duty...AND I DON'T CARE WHAT THE SALES SAY!!!)
many would agree that Crysis, the crown jewel FPS on the PC, is still the graphical king. (Killzone 2 is VERY close, and by far the BEST console offering to date!) On this generation o...
All of the systems, PS3,Wii, and 360 are all great for gaming consumers. Although I'm gonna take the day off from bashing the 360, I will say this: any and everyone, who know's about games, knew what Sony was bringing to the table. Game addicts are like ESPN and most news outlets in the way. When the Arizona Cardinals got into the playoffs at 9-7, all we heard was how much they sucked balls and it's a embarrassment for them to host a playoff game. OH, but as soon as they got to the playoffs a...

AND we havent even been blessed with God of War 3, Uncharted 2, Hevenly Rain, Mag, Final Fantasy Vs., and Grand T. yet!! I'm not going to bash on other systems, but look at what Sony is bringing to the table. Sony argubly had the best "exclusive" line up of games last y...
Hey, it's Microsoft at it's best. Getting all the money they can, leaving their loyal fans(Of course, just for Halo and Gears) in the dirt. I'm not gonna bash MS too much on this topic, but this whole nickel and dimming customers (With the purposely left out system essentials) and faulty systems is getting ridiculous.
O.K., How about talking numbers...WHEN YOU ACTUALLY HAVE/KNOW THEM!!!
I'm not a hater, but I am dissapointed in this site's careless use of Halo War's sales numbers.
Let me get this straight, you don't know the numbers for Killzone 2, a game that has been talked about for YEARS, but the phantom numbers for HW are in? It gets better....In America, the claim is 250,000 copies in one day, with numbers at 200,000 outside the U.S. If this is true, then that's great! (I'm not ...
If Microsoft is planning on having another Xbox system. Without Halo and Gears, MS should save their time, effort, and risk of embarrassment.
The next game may not be called Halo 4, but there will be another one. Xbox would die without it, and all MS people/gamers know it. Look at the numbers that NPG doesn't accruatly talk about. 360 is a major hit in the US, mostly because of the success of Halo and Gears. The 360 is a punch line in Japan and sells are average elsewhere, compared to a system that cost a lot more (PS3) and another one that is cheaper (Wii). (The price is good, if you don't mind gambling on a RROD system. And no, M...
Are you joking? Before jumping the Xbox 360 ship, I sent in two RROD systems (2007, middle of 2008). UPS and US Priority mail sell boxes at a high price, which is why MS stopped paying for it. Also, the cost of postage is rising, AGAIN! I like the games on the 360, just don't like Microsoft. Garbage systems, which they produced, should be covered...WITHOUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. (As long as the system is proven to be RROD.)
These guys, came out with a faulty system....AND KNEW A...
You may want to look at Microsoft's competitors. After 2 360's I went to PS3 only. (for Next Gen) Man, MS does not care about you! I know that it's about business, but there is no honor with these guys. RROD should make ANY gamer mad. There were no apoligies, free stuff, or anything from MS. (That re-call/extended warrenty thing was for legal protection!) 3 chips later, and you still can't fix this problem?!! Mybe you should stop making game systems then!
Either it's cutting c...
If so, I am not surprised though. I mean, this is Microsoft were talking about. For every Halo, Bioshock, Gears, and Fable...there's RROD, word games, "leeching" from competitors, and mediocre customer services. Not to totaly hate on Microsoft, but their own customers are starting to get tired of them. I admit, as a Sony fan, that MS is leading in both games and system price point. However, customer service, quality of innovative games, and past system support, is what Sony is all a...
In another post on here, (About the difficulties developers have for systems, mostly aimed at the PS3) I mentioned EA games, as a developer with no vision. Right on cue, another "raunchy" advertisement for the dying Need to Speed franchise. It's sad too...because Need for Speed: underground was sweet!! (All it needed was more cut scenes. Remember the African-American cop, right before the last chase scene? "EVERYONE!!!" That cop was funny as hell.)
Now look ...
I just wanted to wait for the numbers to come in. Besides, EVERY "real" gamer knows that K2 is destroying Halo 3! (I was just compiling the entire Halo franchise.) Killzone 2 will spawn a new era in FPS. This game was a outstanding testiment to what the PS3 can do for shooters. (And people said Playstation couldn't do it.)
Killzone will take it's place on top of Mount Olympus....with Halo, Call of Duty, and Gears of War. (Yea, the 2nd one was not that good, but the 1s...
However, Halo 2 and 3 were not as good. Online for halo 2 was key, as the story was ridiculous. Halo 3, on both Xbox systems, would have reached INSANE sales numbers. I know it did bananas already, but imagine if you give that to all of your fanbase? I'm talking Mario Bro. numbers. (Don't count wii play because people bought that just for the wiimote) As a Sony fan, I must admit that Halo is King. However, It could have been the King of Kings.
As much as I want to, I cannot com...
This really doesn't matter much, to the big picture. 360 has SF4, Soul Caliber, and TEKKON (If it ever comes out)...but this isn't much of a defining moment in gaming. Now, I am speaking in terms of console dominance, as I think that is the point of this article. Besides, STREET FIGHTER 4, is pretty much the only one that matters...right?
Sure, It's hard playing for Bill Bellicheck (NFL), Larry Brown (NBA), and Pat Riley (NBA), but they have all delivered championship teams. Bottom line, the greatest games takes a lot of hard work, time, effort, and of course, skill. With every Bungie, Epic, Nintendo, Sony, Activision, and Capcom, there's about 15 other developers/factions you never heard of. All the talent (Rare, EA) but no innovation, vision, or technical development. It's easy to see who's in it for the money and which one'...
I do believe that it will have to be done on the next Xbox system. This system is maxed out, but still good though. I also believe that Halo 3 shoudl have and could have been a lot better. It's like the EA/Madded football thing. Bungie had no competetion, so the quality of gameplay, story, and graphics, did not improve. (Again, in my opinion.) The PS3 is a stronger system than the 360, therefor it's exclusive games are better.
I don't care for Xbox, but I know that Micorsoft a...
Both of the Gears games took just as long (Gears of War went from a launch title to being delayed a year) to come out. There is nothing wrong with taking time on a blockbuster game, as most of the great ones takes forever. MS likes to wait until their big guns are within 9 or so months of release, whereas the Sony likes to start hype beyond a year in advance.
Be honest, you have seen the Gametrailers TV promos for both Drakes 2, and God of War 3. These games look sick, which i...
I'm a PS3 fan, however...to say the Gears is a "joke visually" and calling the Unreal Engine dated is insane! I will hate on most 360 games, but never on Gears of War 1 & 2 and Halo 1. My hate towards Microsoft will not make me hate the outstanding Xbox deliveries by both Bungie and Epic Games. Killzone 2 is great, but not THAT much better than Gears. It is however WAY better then Halo 3, and a little bit better than halo 2 and Gears 2. (In my opinion.)
Of course, the game is racist. I loved RE4, and why Leon (and other ethnic agents) couldn't build off of that, is beyond me. RE4 didn't sell that well, so...shy not get some hype? (Bad hype is better for sales, just ask that developers of that "crap" game BULLY.)
There is a reason why Resident Evil die-hard fans didn't see a ton of African-Americans/Black Americans getting shot up in the movies. It would have sold like garbage, the backlash would have destroyed not on...
