I hate you wii...
360 FOR LIFE
halo owns all...
hey why is the wii in the 2008? yeah its new.. but it sucks and has the graphics of a dreamcast :P
THIS IS HOW IT GOES
wii vs 360 = a pile of bits and pieces of wii on the ground
playstation 3 vs 360 = a pile of bits and pieces of playstation 3 on the ground...

nothing beats the 360... it is kinda funny how bad games used to be... halo arrives and then another game pops out... halo 2 beats its ass then another game pops up... halo 3 beats everythings ass and is now the freakin king of games... correction... god of games

You know what's funny? Back then, we had sucky graphics, almost no online, systems as big as the tv (literally), and touchy controls. But we still didn't complain. Now you have all these fancy high-tech quality games, and you have these little kids complaining. Everytime I hear one complaining I make them try Pitfall or Centipede. They hate it. I don't see why they were both perfectly good games. Stupids.

I don't mean to be a huge prat, cos in all honesty, i loved the article, but doesn't the iPod touch count as a handheld?

"Unreal has evolved to power dozens of AAA titles, from Bioshock and Stranglehold to Mirror’s Edge and Splinter Cell."

Is it just me or does one of these not belong?

Those are the games, now the gamers:

Then: Cool! Let's play together Wheeeh!

Now: OMFG YOU NOOB WHAT THE 'EFF U #$%^ NUBXXOR (Also: FIRST OMG LOL XBOX RUCKS WHOOHOOH LOL PS3 WII SUCKZ LOL1!1)

In other words, while the games get better, the gamers (Some) get worse.

Playstations have always been the best apart frm sega megadrive(which was legendary) but i agree dat da ps3 cost 2 much and if it was cheaper it will again b the best console out at da mo

gamings changed so much i can still remember the cheesy 90s goodness of the super nintendo. Does Anyone remember the Spice Girls Video Game thank god they never made another piece of crap like that in 10 years Xbox 360 RULES!!

I totally agree with Wizrai, a lot of the gamers have gotten worse. I have a 360, but i still like the PS3. (but i think most of us are in agreement...untill Madworld, the wii will not have a good hardcore game)

i cant believe that all those games was the best back then.

i guess ten years from now we'll all look back and laugh at how angry gamers got over the most trivial things, or it will be worse.

I can always dream

Now, we laugh at the graphics back then, but they arnt that far off the (graphically embarassing) Wii
