I'd like to see more avatars and more animated themes, but I do like this update overall. Sony is taking away all of Microsoft's talking points. That's not why I like it though, I actually like some of the new improvements. Faster Browser is particularly appreciated.
Assassin's Creed 2 will probably be my game of the year, along with Uncharted 2.
I'm a big PS3 supporter, but sadly these guys are right. The 360 version looks like the better version this time. I'm too big of an Assassin's Creed fan to get the inferior version. If my PC was up to snuff I would probably just get it for the PC.
Assassin's Creed was an amazing game. It was somewhat repetitive, but then again, most games are. I honestly didn't find it all that more repetitive than games like Gears of War or Resistance or Motor Storm, for example. I can't understand how any gamer could not enjoy Assassin's Creed. It is still one of my favorite games this generation (Uncharted 2 being at the top).
Anyway, Assassin's Creed 2 is getting outstandingly positive reviews so far and I am sure they are right. ...
Instead of waiting for a movie version of Assassin's Creed to be made, Ubisoft just went ahead and made it themselves, and they did an awesome job.
I am a huge fan of the first game despite its repetitive mission structure and I can't wait for the new game. The atmosphere, plot, combat, and sheer sense of freedom that the first game offered was truly exciting and had never been accomplished in quite the same way before. It felt fresh.
Anyway, nice article. I h...
Nice post, Chubear. I agree completely. Bubbles for you.
A few of my favorite games are games that scored in the 6 or 7 range, while on the other hand there are some games that received 9+ scores that I don't enjoy at all. Greatness is in the eyes of the beholder.
There are always ways to improve things if the developer is willing to put in the hard work to achieve it. And we already know Naughty Dog is.
It will definitely be harder to make as dramatic an impact as they have done with Uncharted 2, but I am sure they will find the way to create some nice improvements.
This isn't a legitimate article, but it does make a legitimate point. I have been predicting the Wii's sales decline for a while now. I saw it coming.
I have nothing against the Wii, although I will admit that it doesn't personally appeal to me. Nevertheless, it has its place and I think it is great that it is bringing new people into gaming (that might otherwise have felt gaming was too intimidating, for example).
But therein lies the problem: many of these peo...
Well, many of Sony's TVs have loads of VOD and streaming video features (like Netflix) and I knew it was only a matter of time until they brought that stuff over to the PS3.
With the great amount of content in the PSN video store, along with Blu-ray capability, DVD upconversion, and now Netflix streaming, the PS3 is hands down the strongest console in terms of multimedia capabilities.
I also prefer to rent movies from the PSN Store over Xbox LIVE Marketplace simply b...
Don't know how many people agree with me, but I think Sony are doing better this generation with their exclusives than they did last gen.
The PS2 was a monster console and there were a ton of games for it, but a lot of the ones I wanted to play were third party. Sony came out with God of War and some other good new IPs on the PS2, but this gen just seems like they are on fire. We're not even 3 years into the PS3's lifecycle and we have already had quite a few new IPs like Heave...
Assassin's Creed is one of my favorite games of this generation. The haters really get on my nerves. If you didn't understand what it was about, too bad, your loss.
It seems that its biggest problems have been addressed and I think Assassin's Creed 2 will be one of the most brilliant games to come out in a long time.
Actually, the Forza 3 demo that I played does look noticeably better than Forza 2.
Why again are some of you here just to hate on Forza?
Shut your trap Dutch Boogie. You have no business spewing hate in the gamer zone.
Ha ha, this has got to stop. Fanboyism is ruining gaming. I own all the consoles and they all have something to offer. Fanboys who only own one system are only hurting themselves. If you only have money or time for one, that is fine, but don't rip on other consoles just because you don't own them. Halo 3 ODST is one of the better games to come out this year.
MGS4 was also sub-HD and I loved that game. Same goes for ODST. Halo is one of my favorite franchises on the 360. I'm just saying that being sub-HD does not make a game look bad and it for sure doesn't make it less fun.
I'm with you. I own both consoles and actually prefer the PS3 a bit, but I have become somewhat disenchanted with this site recently. The extreme fanboyism is extremely off putting.
I'm a huge fan of the PS3 and I absolutely love Uncharted 2, but I am starting to really get sick of people hating on Halo 3 ODST. Why do we gamers have to be such fanboys?
Nope, why can't all the fanboys on both sides admit that they are both going to be amazing games.
Oh come on man, have you even played the game?
Give me a break. I love my PS3, but anybody that thinks Microsoft is in danger of leaving videogames is simply not in touch with the reality of the industry. The Playstation 3 hasn't been profitable for Sony yet either, but that doesn't mean that they will be leaving the video game market.
Whether some of you realize it or not, we NEED competition.
