Awesome article. Just finished the game tonight, and while I came out of the game with a different mood not expecting to appreciate this article, it's still hilarious.
"pausing only to stab his great-grandmother, Gaia,"
Laughed my ass off at this. Just, the thought of murdering a great-grandmother is ridiculous, but that it's actually true. Hilarious.
"C'mon, he's survived worse injuries than this"
Actually he's survived EXACTLY that injury, stabbing himself in seemingly the exact same spot that Zeus did. At least when he stabbed Zeus it appeared to go right through the heart area which didn't seem to matter. The fist seemed to really do the trick, though. Just awesome that part, I wasn't sure if I should keep going but I went on pounding for like 3 minutes lmfao!!
I'm still a bit confused about the whole Apollo issue. First, we never see him, second I was under the assumption that Apollo is the sun god in Roman mythology, and since Helios is in Greek, I don't understand how they can occupy the same space. I didn't really study this area obviously.
Hmm, I'm a little confused about Gaia being that size. I would have thought the god size was around the size of the Leviathan, making the titans much bigger. Should have included Ares or something just for comparison.
Holy wtf why do they look so accurate?! That's insane. The user-made ones on LBP do not look so exact, and while that's part of the fun--creating your own version of an icon--this is uncanny.
Is that Modern Warfare screenshot from the Wii version? Looks like it, and certainly you aren't giving any credit to the Wii version.
That WoW commercial with Mr. T looks nearly identical to the beginning of God of War 2.
GTA cheats are awesome. Haven't played IV yet although I've owned it since it came out. Now that the dlc is coming PS3 side, I'm starting it next week.
"Achievements are still more understandable than Trophies,"
Uh, what? Just like their purchasing system, this is driven by points. The reality is exactly the opposite to this statement.
"The online service doesn’t feel like an unwieldy patchwork"
And Sony's does? Seems like you're trying to insinuate it, but, the insinuation absolutely doesn't apply. Wtf?
"Microsoft’s planned Game Room already looks more interesting than Sony’s sterile, microtransaction-filled Home"
Wow, is it April fools already? Because you HAVE to be joking. Home sucks, (but free), Microsoft's game room looks WORSE not better. What?! Seriously? I don't get it. Any contribution this has to a list of Microsoft's future should be a strike against it, not for it. You guys are fucking crazy! LOL!
"And Project Natal, skeptical as we’d like to be, looks like it could be genuinely revolutionary... if it’s handled right."
Whether it is handled right or not, it does not look like it could be revolutionary, even if handled perfectly. This kind of shit's been around longer than the Wii, give me a break, it's boring, it's for Yoga. I would hate to see how easy and boring games would get using these types of controls. They're already getting easier under the Wii, and even PS3 and 360 games. Why don't you just watch a fucking movie? If you want to move around, work out. I both workout and watch movies, and I have ANOTHER hobby, called VIDEOGAMING. Natal is not that. I do not wish all of my hobbies to be combined together so as to save time. Because I actually thoroughly enjoy them ALL as separate activities. I do not feel that they are like to a job where I desire them all to be made more efficient in combined form so that I can move on to other things, like . . . work? And using Natal is like using Sony's dildo as a reason IT would be the winning console. Guys, PLEASE, have something relevant and potent to say when you make these sorts of declarations.
I'm honestly surprised that Rage, Nier, Max Payne 3, Modnation Racers, FFXIV, and MAG aren't closer to the top. And especially surprised that GOW3 and Rage aren't top 10. Rage coming from id, and GOW3, enough said.
Starcraft? This site isn't based in Korea is it? No one else cares.
Mass Effect doesn't really seem to have that huge anticipation factor behind it.
And Batman only because of the Spike VGAs, I really hope it isn't called anything to do with AA. I thought there'd be a new main villain as well the secondary villains. I hope they don't ruin what could be an excellent series.
And, honestly, the only thing about Gran Turismo I'm anticipating is it going away. When will it end!?
I'm down. Twisted Metal, yeah. I didn't like the PS2 sequel although I thought it would kick major ass and have insane graphics when I was waiting for it. But it was meh.
If X-Wing is ever done, I would hope they also include the Tie Fighter side, as that's the game I preferred.
And I'm interested in Parasite Eve and Panzer Dragoon since I never played them but wanted to at the time.
