Racing Games and Metascores:
Forza 2: 90/100 Best reviewed Xbox 360 Exclusive Racing Game
PGR4: 87 / 100 -- not ONE of the reviewers gave it less than 75; and
IGN was very near the bottom with their 81 / 100. Still scores better than EVERY GAME AVAILABLE ON PS3 except for Oblivion and NG:Sigma which are hand-me-downs from Xbox 360 to begin with.
Sega Rally Evo: 81 / 100 - PS3 --- 84 / 100 Xbox 360
Motorstorm: 82/100 ...
You SDF types really cant stand reality.
One single person's perspective is useless. You need an aggreagate of the collective opinion if you want to say something beyond a trifling opinion.
So, how about the Metacritic scores of those games?

Of course you'll like it.
It has a 8.7 / 10 on Metacritic. The only people who dont like it, is the SDF fanbots trying to spread FUD.
Wait until they can't play this game:

8.7 / 10 makes Project Gothum Racing 4 better than every SINGLE OTHER GAME on the PS3 except TWO.
Oblivion and Ninja Gaiden Sigma -- ports from the Xbox 360 to the PS3 are the only two that score better.
The Sony fanboys are so PISSED off that the PS3DO is delivering bad games, that they submit the worst game reviews and to say "ah! HA! Xbox 360 doenst have any good games".
AGAIN, Project Gothum 4 has better average scores than EVERY OTH...
Is Ace Combat 6 a FPS? Is SuperMario a 2nd PS because you can throw fireballs? No.
The submitter made the mistake of calling Mass Effect a FPS. Halo 3 moves more towards Adventure, but a game like Counter Strike is more clearly a "FPS".
While you're folding at home, I'll be playing ANOTHER Xbox 360 exclusive that is looking to be GOTY contender.
Enjoy your POS3.

Just admit you're disappointed with the PS3DO and get over it.
The game is supposed to be massive, with 50-70 hours of gameplay. I dont think the PS3DO owners realize that the limiting factor isnt disc space, but Budget.
And, now that Microsoft has said that developers can use the harddrive for game-caching, the whole space issue is moot.
Boy, if I had the misfortune of owning the Sony Film (MPAA) and Music Studio (RIAA) Blue-ray DRM lockdown device -- the POS3, I'd be one angry fangirl.
I'd hate to see the d...
"Mass Effect looks astounding. Even if you turn off the default grain filter and motion blur it's the best-realised world on Xbox 360; it really feels like you're watching Star Trek or some other high-budget SFX-heavy show. The combat is pretty damn fine as well but, even so, it's still a side-show to the adventure."
Its the engrossing story line that Im looking forward too. If it turns out to be a visual tour-de-force (as is expected) all the better, but a great Sci...
I would prefer if they moved away from art direction in the recent films.
A darker, more toad like and slimey Gollum. Something more sinister and animal.
While Sony has been hard at work ripping hardware out of its failed console and slashing prices to get the PS3DO off retail shelves. Microsoft has been busy *adding* value to existing customer's Xbox 360s! Ha! Funny that.
Not only does the Xbox 360 have the best games, the best online network and the best past and present, but the future.
I'd love to chat - hey, why dont you drop me a note from your Windows LIVE Messenger to my Xbox 360? Let me know how your f...
The "Xmass as Gift Giving Season" is a more America-Centric behaviour, and the peak in shopping reflects that.
The Xmass shopping peak sees much gift-giving. And, who buys gifts (adults) and who recieves them (children).
In Europe, xmass as a great consumer orgy isnt really the same. yes, they have gifts and such, but I dont believe its the same kind of yearly spending spree.
That could be why they wanted to go with Marvel Ultimate Alli...
Both Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance are terrific Games. Everyone usually likes to have a racing game, and while its not the newest (PGR4) it is an undisputably excellent game. Probably the best in its Genre.
And, Marvel is a good broad appeal adventure.
Forza 2 at Metacritic: 9.0 / 10
Marvel Ultimate Alliance at Metacritic: 8.2 / 10
I dont know, if given a choice, I would probably go with the Forza 2 + Marvel Ultimate Alliance pack a...
"its currently the best FPS avaliable and nearly 3 years old. "
Arguably true. While HL2 is a PC title (and Orange Box is multi-plat), I'd say Halo 3 is arguably as good or better. HL2 has 96 on metacritic and Halo 3 has 94.
Pretty close.
But there is almost no chance that it could have come in at number 1. Halo 3 is a phenomena, and it deserves it.
But I must commend you two Sony Defence Force fanboys for trying to star...
This failure issue is dead. It has been for months. The problems have been addressed, and we already know it.
I am pretty sure the PS3 fanboys who keep sniggering about heat failures and the failure rate dont know WTF they are talking about for two reasons, they are tweens who arent old enough to have E.Eng or CS degrees and two, they dont work for MS, so they invent failure rate percentages out of their arse (10%! 33%! 75%! 110%!!1! OMG!!1! f-ing idiots).
All ...
Ever hear of Myst? Bungie likes to think themselves as creative types, they'll come up with something new.
For now, I'd bet its Episodic Content with Peter Jackson. Possibly in the form of DLC.
Your Elite is fine. Why?
The Xbox 360 heat issues have already been fixed, and we already were told. And we've been seeing the improved hardware for months now.
Every Xbox 360 with a HDMI port (probably core, just without the header on the pins) has Motherboard Version 1.1. This Motherboard has fewer components, smaller components, new layout, and a new CPU/GPU mounting methodology.
Look at this: 
Individual Reviews mean nothing. But Reviews -- as a collective -- mean more than any person's opinion.
Any claim to the contrary is insanity. Get of your ego-driven high horse and fishful thinking; the METASCORE of the game's reviews is _all_ that matters with regards to a game's quality in any objective way (outside our widely varying personal preferences (opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one)).
Only an idiot could claim otherwise, its just that easy...
