Oh the negativity. Damn, instead of ripping GR's head off, be grateful they even bother to post this for you to know. Anyway, I have a Wii, I like my Wii. Yeah they have Wii sports and Music and all that "Family friendly" rubbish, but there are things worth buying a Wii over. Plus, Mad world looks promising.

They talk about LittleBigPlanet in the intro, but they don't mention it once in the article. Interesting.

Wow, I'm so sick of people treating no more heroes like it's a golden shit that Jesus took.

Repetitive gameplay, awful graphics, lame story and failure of an open-world environment. If it were on any system besides the Wii it'd be mocked and criticized for it's quality.

Woah, didn't know Tekken was going cross platform. What next, Time Crisis???

Actually, that one can stay there

I really don't know why NMH is held at such a high regard. Granted the presentation is outstanding, Travis is among the best characters in recent games history and the extreme quirkiness is unmatched ... but gameplay wise it just sucks!

The levels are repetitive and uninspired; the quasi-open world only gets in the way; collecting money for the assassination missions are a chore; the actual story is as boring as it gets...

I never finished it and I don't think I'll ever get back to it.

And frankly I don't know what's with the bad Disaster press - the game is totally competent and is partly what I expected (but never got) from Alone in the Dark!

YES!!!!!!!!!! 33RD!!! MY LIFE GOAL IS FULFILLED AND I CAN NOW DIE HAPPILY!!!! Seriously people, drop the first thing, it's incredibly immature. People who call "first" are attention hogs who crave the small, meaningless attention it brings them. They are the ones who sit at home and place games my that 6-year-old cousin (who can't quite grasp Guess Who) would have little to no problem playing. They aren't gamers, and so I revoke their statues as such. ESPECIALLY the ones who only write "first"! If you don't have something (even remotely) related to the article and/or discussion, PLEASE don't fill the comments section with whatever it is you are calling comments!

I think the problem that i've always found with Gran Turismo, is that its always a car in perfect condition, with perfect weather, and perfect roads and perfect just about everything, and when in life is ANYTHING perfect?

What really needs to happen, is Adult Rated games already.

Hopefully EA has learned their lesson from the over 1.7 million pirates and the class action lawsuits. This should be proof for every developer and/or publisher that if you try too hard to control our gaming, it will come back to bite you in the ass... HARD.

Yeah, wtf were they thinking at Midway by throwing in DC Universe vs. Mortal Kombat. Did they think us fans would love them lowering the rating.........Or were they hoping that DC fans would fill in the left void.....cause I don't know if they knew this, but DC sucks! I mean, Batman and Flash are cool, but other than that....Marvel kicks DC's ass. Well, sad that Midway has gone bankrupt. =(

Maybe we will see Mortal Kombat brought back to life in another time.

MK.vs.DC is a good game and if you like that kind of game so give the game a chance
