the straming Twitter thing works perfectly you guys, I will be tuning in every day!
Life  - 5 months 24 days ago 
Heh, second I guess. Looking good already. Good job Gamesradar. I have a lot of reading to do when my finals are over, and this'll make it easy. E3 2009!
DeadGirls  - 5 months 24 days ago 
I'm at E3 right now, jerking-off to gay porn!
smallberry  - 5 months 24 days ago 
Damn its 1:30 am Indian time. Don't think I can do this everyday. I'll probably catch up once its all over.
animeman  - 5 months 24 days ago 
I cant wait for all of the great PS3 games to be anounced!
KillDrone  - 5 months 24 days ago 
Project Natal... SERIOUSLY MICROSOFT?! Give me back my real games! Thank goodness for the MGS tease.
Tasty_Pasta  - 5 months 24 days ago 
I really liked watching a live stream of the conference, and seeing your guy's responses. I wish we could chat in there too with you guys a little, because the comments section of the page gets too cumbersome.

Something to think about for the future...

i give up hope kojima sold out i dont fucking care about god of war..id rather play mgs on my ps3 that works fine and looks good then on my xbox which will probably break after 2 mins
GrantG  - 5 months 24 days ago 
Can't wait to see what's coming!
Corsair89  - 5 months 24 days ago 
I am seroiusly skeptical about Project Naval. Modern Warfare 2 looks amazing. E3 isn't terrible, but Nintendo starts tomorrow...
Mattgue  - 5 months 24 days ago 
I hope there will be lots good games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Antennas to Heaven  - 5 months 24 days ago 
Just because the new MGS is being developed for 360 doesn't mean it's 360 exclusive. Just so that we're clear.
GoldenMe  - 5 months 24 days ago 
MGS4SolidSnake- Your attitude screams "FANBOY" in my face.
chucknorris69  - 5 months 24 days ago 
cant wait for the new games to be announced

@MGS4solidsnake

don't be so quick to make judgement

Rydan is the main character which if I remember correctly was fans of the series main gripe with number 2. It appears he is less femine then a anime dudes hair now but we will see.
solsunforge  - 5 months 24 days ago 
Wow did you seriously combine the comments section for every console? Wow this will get hectic soon.
NipplesTheSuperHippo  - 5 months 24 days ago 
So as someone who is trying to get into the gameing industry, either as a journalist or analyst, I am looking at ValvE's L4D 2 move. I can see how it makes smart business sense, being that L4D was and is still one of the most popular games I have seen in two or three years. But then again, L4D is was a still is one of the most popular games I have seen in two or three years. I still sink almost 40 hours into L4D each week and don't feel at all that I need a new game. A good set of DLC every now and then would be nice, but from what I saw in the trailer, L4D 2 doesn't look that much better than L4D. If Valve could have taken maybe another three to four months to give it some hyper-realistic graphics Modernwarfare 2 sytle, then maybe I might be more inclined to buy this.
I commend Valve for taking a risk, but it really seems like the EA bully came in and said "We want another new game released less than a year after the fist or I am going to take your lunch money."
It saddens me because PC gaming is Valve, Blizzard, and IMO Bioware. I just believe Valve made the wrong move here.

I can't believe MS wasted all that time on Beatles Rock Band. That had to be at least 10 minutes for of shit. Thank god for a DVR. I enjoyed pretty much everything else except Project Natel. The concept is cool but did they actually have to go out and hire the same director who did all of Nintendo's video's of the douchebags jumping behind their couches and pretending to shoot shit. I mean come on, I felt like I was watching a Nintendo commercial not a MS video.
I felt MS has some great ideas but how long they take to implement them will be the key.
Just my .02
