I like the Dual Shock 3 just the way it is.
The 360's controller is very nice as well, but I don't like the looser, less-precise feeling in the analogue sticks.
Overall though, I can use either controller just fine.
I have both and I think they are both good consoles in general. But there is no doubt that the PS3 has a better line-up of games in 2009.
Better exclusives and the same multi-platform games.
The PS3 has offered amazing gaming experiences since the day I bought it.
It has sold more consoles than the 360 in the same time frame and at a much higher price.
It had a great line-up of exclusives in 2008 and has arguably the best line-up of games in 2009.
So tell me, why do some people think the PS3 needs saving?
Uncharted 2 is at the top of my must-buy list this year.
Naughty Dog are true masters of their craft and it is already apparent that they are improving what was already an exceptional game.
Uncharted is one of my favorite games of all time and that alone is enough to make me crazy with anticipation for the sequel.
What are all these great games on the Xbox 360?
What I mean is, why do you think there are more good games on the 360 than the PS3?
I own a 360 and think it is a pretty good console, but honestly there aren't that many must-have games on it for me. Gears of War, Mass Effect and Tenchu Z are the only exclusives that I really care about.
I also think the 360 is a great console to own for multi-platform titles. But the PS3 has nearly all the same multiplatform g...
What does that mean?
Uncharted is probably my favorite game this generation and it has something like an 88 on Metacritic. Mass Effect has a much lower score than ES4 Oblivion, but I liked Mass Effect a lot more than Oblivion.
Scores mean next to nothing to an individual.
It's for innovative and unique games like this that I respect Sony's first-party output so much.
I love Pixel Junk Eden and many of the other PSN titles, and I can tell that this game will be right up my alley as well.
Looks really unique and fun. I love Sony's first-party games.
Uncharted already has some of the best graphics on consoles (at this moment I still think they are the best--KZ2 isn't out yet) and Uncharted 2 looks to be improving on the original in some fairly noticeable ways.
Simply amazing. Naughty Dog are some of the most talented developers out there. Thank you ND for creating such awesome games.
I feel the same way. Uncharted 2 is my most anticipated game this year--followed by Killzone 2, Chronicles of Riddick AODA, and Heavy Rain.
Graphics look better than anything else I have seen.
But what really, really makes me excited about this game is the amazing gameplay and storytelling that I know it will have.
Uncharted is currently my favorite game of all time and Uncharted 2 is my most anticipated game this year.
This game is going to be so awesome.
Two full campaigns, multiplayer modes, amazing story telling, fantastic production values and some of the best graphics on consoles.
This is one of my very most anticipated games.
No, the developers have said that the new chapter is equal in length to the original game. So this game is going to be an incredible value.
Revamped 'Escape from Butcher Bay' (the original game, redone)
+ All new game 'Assault on Dark Athena' (equal in length to first game)
+ New multi-player modes
= One awesome package
This is in my top 3 most wanted games this year, along with Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2.
I loved the original Chronicles of Riddick on Xbox and I can't wait to play the new chapter.
This game is also going to be an incredible value. It contains the entire Escape from Butcher Bay game--redone with significantly enhanced visuals and gameplay enhancements--but it also includes a whole new game equal in length to the original and picking up immediately after where the fi...
The people always saying "it's just their opinion" need to understand something. What makes a reviewer different than just any old gamer off the street? Well, I'll tell you. It's that they are supposed to be fair and objective in their approach to analyzing a game's quality.
Without journalistic integrity and objectivity a reviewer's opinions would be worth no more than the opinion of some random gamer you talk to at your local game shop.
The job of a re...
Yeah, I like GameInformer. They tend to rate games very similarly to what I end up rating them. They are not overly harsh, but they are harsh when a game really deserves it. They also don't seem to have any bias for one console over another. GameInformer is very reliable.
I think the problem I, and many others, have with Edge is that they are just too damn inconsistent and harsh on many games.
Giving Mass Effect a 7?
Gears of War an 8?
Killzone 2 a 7?
Come on, it just seems like they want to stand out, but it's lame because it's not fair to the developers and all the hard work they put into those games. Now if those games really were average, then fine. But those games are not average according to the consensus opinion and...
I agree that the conspiracy crap is stupid. But I think the problem I, and many others, have with Edge is that they are just too damn inconsistent and harsh on many games.

Gears of War is a good game, but so is Killzone 2.
Personally, based on the beta and the single-player demo I think I am going to like it more than Gears of War.
I like the contours of the 360's controller, which make it fit in the hands nicely. I think the trigger buttons are a little better as well (although the "triggers" on the DS3 are not as bad as some make it out).
Honestly though, I don't really notice any improvement in the offset layout of the analogue sticks. In fact, it might be a little bit the opposite--I feel that I am a little more precise with the symmetrical placement of the DS3's analogue sticks. The DS3's ...
