Opinion: Do gamers REALLY want innovation and creativity?
well hang on a bit, you don't have a monopoly on what is a great game. Naughty bear is a good deal more entertaining than Madworld, which frankly, is a bit shit. and after constantly being bombarded by your glowing recommendation of Okami i was rather dissapointed. different strokes for different people, and just because a game steps a bit out of the formula does by no means make it interesting or better than the tried and true. i'll take another CoD over something like Psychonauts anyday, because in the end, nothing beats pulling of headshots in the good company of your friends. a pretentious wolf with a magic paintbrush isn't even close.

E3 2010: Is the 3DS' potential launch line-up the best in history?
i like it, but some new games would be good. ive already played ocarina, it was averagely decent then, and will still be on the 3DS. same game. already played snake eater, was awesome then, no need to play it for the umpteenth time. already played mario kart, nothing new there. kid icarus could be really good. if that screen of Kingdom Hearts was from the 3DS i cant see how you can claim Resi to be prettiest portable game. but i suppose it wasnt :( already played starfox as well, no need to play it again. paper mario is so good it may be worth a purchase even if its just a remake. SFIV is overrated, and shallower than an alcoholics brandy-bottle. its its 2010, i expect fighters to have more than 14 attacks per character, i also expect devs to balance the game so you cant just tiger-punch to win. i want pokemon to go 3D, with Stadium graphics. and a Super Smash Brothers would be awesome too. Metroid couldnt possibly go wrong on the 3DS either, but instead nintendo wants me to play Epona's song on that damn Ocarina again, in a game that is nowhere near as good as A Link To The Past. no thanks, i'll get the 3DS for sure, but Ninty can keep this rehashed crap to themselves. E3 this year has been meh all over, skyward sword is looking like the same old trite, wonder if we get the boomerang or hookshot first this time, oh the exitement. MS didnt impress, nor did Sony. luckily i have all the current gen consoles, so the few gems that pop up will be available to me whichever platform its for.

Alan Wake (Xbox 360): Alan Wake super review
i hardly think this game will make me question the existence of a god or devil any more than Harry Potter made me question the existance of a world of magic hidden away from ours in plain sight. but maybe the reviewer was trying to make a point by taking the phantasmagoria further by common example. i'd have liked to seen it compared to heavy rain, QD seems to think they are the only studio to care about storytelling (which obviously isnt a whole lot).

How short is TOO short for a video game?
the length of the game isnt all that bad, but it has no MP, very little replay value and its the closing chapter in a trilogy (discounting CoO), so this game could have stretched itself a bit longer than previous GoW games. go out with a bang.

If video games invaded famous paintings
video games can by definition not be art, nor can cars. for something to be art the purpose of its existence has to be the existence itself. objects made for some function can not be art. Braid is artsy, but it isn art. creating games can be seen as an art, but with a whole different meaning of the word.

Mapathy: are new maps enough for MW2 DLC?
@gamesradar_george1: say you didnt have any of the consoles, and you really wanted MW2 due to all the hype and buying a console would be much cheaper than upgrading your pc. if you really just wanted MW2 then you would go for the console with the timed exclusive. i have both consoles and chose to get it for ps3, timed exclusives be damned. its no deal breaker, but still something to rub in ps3 fanboys' noses. ****** a few maps just wouldnt be enough to make the game fresh again. a zombie mode or something of the kind would be awesome, just not nazis, the zombies would make no sense on their own. the thought of adding weapons would bring more diversity to the game and make it feel fresher again, but would make it unbalanced and unfair to those that didnt buy the DLC (like how Cold Storage utterly ruined Socom). if they add weapons they should be free, any content providing any form of advantage should be free, period. some new game modes would be cool too, Halo is really creative with game modes, MW2 should try the same. capthca: lobbying azimuth. ugh, republicans.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (PS3): Battlefield Bad Company 2
@whiskeybit: you get upset at the reviewer and claim he tried to pass his opinions off as fact, and then you go and do the same thing, only worse. MW2 requires much more actual skill than killzone, mag and BC2 combined, because all those games arent about skill, but rather tactics and cooperation. MW2 is no more luck-based than any other shooter, and seing as its the fastest paced, and being a twitch shooter it requires loads more reaction, awereness and accuracy than any other current fps. if luck was all there is to it, i wouldnt have a 1.7 KDR when all i do is quickscope. oh, and clancy's novels are about as clever as the da vinci code. they outright suck. try some Ludlum or Baldacci. ***** loving BC2, its really more fun to play with friends than MW2 ever was. just a few issues as i see it, but they are pretty glaring. in core mode, everyone is a bullet-sponge, but hardcore fixes that. too many overpowered vehicles. and too easy to spawntrap someone, or to be spawntrapped. the different classes really make the game more teamwork focused, but make sure youre playing with friends or people with coms, or else everyone will just go Recon, whether they actually can use the sniper or not. but thats no fault of the game.

The Top 7... best games of 2009 (so far)
killzone 2 is well overrated. id give it a 7. no replay value, online is mostly just chaos, and is completed very quickly. i played the demo for red faction and decided to only buy it if found in a bargain-bin. street fighter 4 is a good game, but also overrated. playing online is a bitch (everyone just spams tigerpunch with sagat, making fights boring), seth is the cheapest boss ever (i did beat arcade on hardest though, and he wasnt that much more of an ass there than he is on normal), but worst of all is that should you hope to do well in the game, you have to buy an arcade stick. i will not shell out $100 for a peripheral that is usefull for only one game (VF5 and tekken works perfectly with regular pads).
