Whatever is the latest Call of Duty functions as the default 'not PS3 exclusive' game for the gaming media to overhype and latch on to.
Graphically MW2 is an embarrassment.
Only 16 player P2P online play.
Arcade-ey point and shoot aiming with massive amounts of auto-aim so everyone who plays can hit targets
It's basically a lowest common denominator kiddie arcade fps. The Britteny Spears of FPS games. Huge marketing, lots of sales, mediocre at best in qu...
meepmoopmeep: "biased"?
The Official Playstation Magazine actually had a hard core Xbox fans working as the Editor-in-Cheif and doing reviews:
http://www.lazygamer.co.za/...
OMG, just checked. That nutcase is still the 'editor'. LOL!
GT5 is almost certainly getting release by December.
Add in GT PSP, Persona PSP, LittleBigPlanet PSP and I am probably going to be spending close to 600 dollars over the next few months on PS3 and PSP games. And that doesn't include whatever cool PSN games show up.
It is great to see a game that is a gamer's game and not some dumbed down mass market pap get the accolades it deserves. Challenging and rewarding is how the people I know who have played the import versio...
There definitely is something terribly wrong with Microsoft's hardware efforts.
The 360 has been in production a year longer than the PS3. It should be much farther along in cost reduction.
It has cheaper components. No expensive RAM like the PS3 has for example.
No WiFi.
No slot loading drive.
No BluRay drive.
No Bluetooth.
No internal power supply.
Cheap and ineffective cooling system. <...
"Anyone with half a brain can see that."
Anytime someone prefaces something they say with that type of statement is 99 percent of the time spouting BS.
Microsoft lost the next big exclusive from the biggest third party developer in the world.
How much clearer does it get than that?
Where Microsoft actually had a real Metal Gear Solid last gen, they now have worse support from Konami with their complete failure to get MGS4 and inste...
"the same one that showed the PS3 beat the 360 in 2006/7?"
You're joking...right?
It is funny to imagine Xbox fans day after day hitting refresh on a pathetically sad site like vgchartz.
Both Sony and Nintendo report actual sales to customers. Both of them have been doing so since 2006. Sony even just reiterated that their sales numbers are real sales numbers when it was reported they had kicked Microsoft into last place in Europe.
Microsoft still plays the stupid game of trying to pass of shipped to retailer as actual game sales. That means that ...
And it kills them.
The only way they can deal with it is by masking it in bitter sarcasm and leaping on any possible story they see as spreading garbage about Sony.
The console world wasn't always like this. No it wasn't some panacea where gaming websites and journalists always had high standards of professionalism. But gaming news was just that - news.
Ever since the entrance of Microsoft to the console world, a new and disgusting type of journalism sta...

What is amazing about the Xbox fans who still cling to beyond3d is that you would think that even someone completely technically illiterate would at some point stop and ask themselves: "Why is everything I read at this site completely contradicted by reality and what the rest of the gaming world is seeing with their own eyes?"
You would think any rational person would ask themselves that. Even if they desperately, desperately wanted to believe the 360 was in the same le...
It is too bad that the 360 ended up ruining some major games like GTA4 and FFXIII due to its wimpy graphics hardware and 7gig DVD drive.
However, in six or seven years at the end of PS3's life I think it is going to be just a footnote. Every gen some big franchises blow it with poor choices and die off.
Rockstar is indicating that the future is with Agent and that it is the franchise they are putting all their creative efforts into. Rockstar really should have done t...
How a site like vgchartz.com can put out laughably fake sales numbers for two years just shows just how powerful a desire there is amongst a certain crowd to hear what they want to believe.
vgchartz.com puts out the fake sales figures that Xbox fans want to believe are true
beyond3d.com puts out the fake technical BS that Xbox fans want to believe is true
gametrailers.com puts out the faked/bogus 'side by side' comparisons that Xbox fans want to believe ...
Much of the gaming media is having to do face saving and damage control over the garbage they spread over the past 2.5 years about the PS3.
Instead of just owning up to the garbage and lies they spewed they take the easy way out and just pretend that suddenly Sony and the PS3 have 'turned things around' and expect people just to nod their heads as if everyone already doesn't know that:
> The PS3 is the third fastest selling console in history. And that is before t...
"Strange review.."
Not at all. It's a perfect Xbox fan 'review':
"Add to that Sony's weak game library that continues to lack compelling titles like the Xbox 360's Halo ODST and Mass Effect 2"
You have to imagine the massive sales of the Slim are JUST KILLING THIS GUY and he had to restrain himself from going ballistic. 7/10 was most likely as low a score as he thought he could get away with and still spout the 'don't complain, 7/10 i...
Both Microsoft and Bungie are realizing how screwed they are after they separated.
Microsoft is faced with a first party lineup that is a complete joke:
Rare
Lionhead
Turn 10
Bungie is now faced with having to make games that will have to sell on their own worth and not have tens of millions of dollars flooding every type of media and spending the wads of cash required to assure 9+ review scores.
Bungie was a mediocre developer b...
LOL!
Are you clueless. "You earned a skill point" goes all the way back to 1997 in Sony games.
It is hilarious that there are people who actually think Microsoft 'invented' something so old and created by a different company.
The only think Microsoft came up with is the idiotic gamerscore that everyone thinks is so lame.
You mean those 'multiplatform games' like:
Killzone 2
Uncharted
Uncharted 2
God of War 3
Gran Turismo 5
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
Metal Gear Solid 4
Wipeout HD
...
All those games look better on the Xbox 360.
"There's no question that Microsoft came up with the concept of a cross-game "score""
Yeah, golf clap Microsoft. You're one innovation is completely pointless and lame.
"Hey dude! What's your gamerscore??? I hope it's not bigger than mine!!!"
I like the separate trophies for online and single player concept.
I would hate to see a single player focused game like Uncharted have a bunch of multiplayer trophies thrown in and deny huge numbers of fans the satisfaction of getting the Platinum for the game.
Grand Theft Auto - Started off as a PC franchise. Appeared on both PS2 and Xbox last gen.
Bzzzt!!!
Metal Gear - Microsoft actually had a real Metal Gear solid for the Xbox. Kojima and Konami really screwed them this gen. Microsoft completely failed to get MGS4 after so desperately trying. Instead they ended up with some silly 'action spinoff' that is nothing more than a Devil May Cry game with a Raiden skin. Even more humiliating is the fact that Kojima and his team ...
