What's with the vleedin' Toto rreferences? Is that what passes for wit in the "this will pass right over the heads of anyone who wants a game like this, lol" climate of clever, clever you manage to keep thriving at GR towers? BTW, I HATED that record when I was young and so did you-don't lie, and we both still hate it now. Toto indeed. I don't expect to be reminded of such dricel because of tenuously related song titles being bandied about! |

GOW3 is more your certain quality while, with a new IP that apes a lot of that series and aims to get a 14th century work of lit inot the gaming masses minds there's still penty that could fall on it's face. Sony SM are just expanding and polishing the epic stuff from previous games in the series. For me the jury is still ver much out on DI but here's hoping that it's more up my street than Bayonetta which, from playing the Japanese demo, just felt like DMC lite with the mad dialled up a bit and I expected something new rather than just reworked from someone of Kamiya's rep and talent. Doing what amounts to a DMC clone with tita and extr hair attacks doesn't excite me when it plays like the demo does. I can't get over all the perfect scores it's getting! Then again Madworld got plenty of goodness when it was WAY too little content for a disc based full retail game-but Platinum get a free pass all the time. Just like it's somehow Sega's fault if they're too damn lazy to make the PS3 version of their own game! And it's a decent port as well-there's been so much over the top criticisms of that port and it's just nowhere near as bad as they say. It's not in the same league for PS3 multi mess ups as G'busters let alone the Orange Box. But I digress, I'm very much hoping DI will bring some GOW standard gaming to everyone but mainly to those on 360 only who will miss Kratos latest, and possibly greatest, if the updates since the mindblowing E3 demo are much to go by. |

I thought the demo played like DMC lite with tits and added mental. And that was it. Anyone else would get torn a new one for doing EXACTLY what he always does but somehow Kamiya gets away with just about anything. As do Platinum-Madworld was a nice distraction but was NEVER long aniugh for a full retail price tag! Anyway the demo felt and this sounds like yet more of Kamiya's under developed ideas and just throwing loads of stuff at a gamer and thinking it's enough. Well maybe if you're a baby or a magpie but not for me. More is not always best and just once I'd like to see his true action games fully evolve ONE(just one!) idead to it's logical conclusion or highest quality and not just chuck whatever he thinks of at us like he always does. |

Hate for DMC4 WAS justified just not for that reason. The reason being it was sh1t having to play half a game TWICE so Capcom could pretend they made a full one. Only the immense turd that is DMC2 saves 4 from being easily worst in series. That said RE5 was just as poor and SF4 was ruined by bloody noobish "focus" BS. And as for PC gamers hating MW2 being justified-of course they are. Console gamers should also have stood up with their PC brethren(and EU brethren getting conned out of extra tenners so they can do it to all of you next time)and demanded dedicated servers. If anyone is blind enough to think that P2P doesn't mean more lag, greater host advantage and all the woes of OLD online gaming then IDK what to say to them. The biggest entertainmant release ever they called it, the biggest online game of the year-in 2009. Making ALL that money and they couldn't even give us some proper servers? Don't they care about improving on the last game online? It's 2009 and Killzone2, Warhawk and many other console games have shown what advantages are to be found with dedicated servers(to say nothing of the invention of the PC crowd and the amazing mods these days-and the past or are we all forgetting how great CS was?)and the most profitable game this year SHOULD have had dedicated servers whenit leans so heavily on it's online and they're the best way to go, give the best product. But Acti and IW only care about the bottom line and shipped a game with no beta(shocking that it didn't work on PC and PS3 eh?)and no dedicateds because all they care about is the bottom line while calling a game with outdated online a "premium" product and charging accordingly. Apart from that Kotick told us how he was going to force yp game prices and we#'re letting him, IW started making offensive videos and lying to all and sundry about WHY they dropped the PC's dedis. The "terrorist level" is ham fisted at best and controversy hogging at worst. It's a grutuitous bit of publicity hunting, imo, made moreso becauuse it could have been done a lot beter AND you didn't even need to play it! Meaning it wasn't needed in the first place! And the story is crap and silly and calling it MW1.5 would be generous considering how little anything improved. Seriously 9v9 IW? You're spoiling us ALL! Greedy buggers. I cannot believe so many of us rushed to pay for a sub standard online run and gun. Seriously, when R2 can manage 60player games on PSN why can't the market leader manage more than 9v9? There's less lag on those 60 player games than there is on MW2- market leading console online shooter my 4rse. It's a disgrace. |

COD is a "hardcore" shooter? Mate it's as arcadey and pick up and play as they come which is exactly why, when other shooters on the Wii die a silent death, WaW marches ever onward to a surprising 1.5 million and beyond at the last count. The aim assisted COD series is perfect "my firstest shooter" fodder for Wii owners wanting more than party games now they've noticed their little white box does other things than JUST Mariokart you know! While MP3 might have been a bit serious and gamey COD is everywhere! It's on the news FFS! They , newer gamers, will have seen MW2 so why not give them the first one even if IW were far too up themselves to ever make it themselves(the tossers). Besides, no "hardcore" shooter would go FROM dedicated servers to P2P, now would it? COD aimed at core gamers! I've heard it all now I really have. What are games like Operation Dragin Rising and the Battlefield games, MAG or Counterstrike aimed at then-supermen? Alongside Halo COD is the most approachable shooter available with it's aim assisted gameplay and as such is PERFECT for the Wii and it's demographic where there were a lot of people(over a long while admittedly but Wii COD doesn't get advertised does it?)ready to shell out for WaW last tme out. Whatever, COD just isn't a hardcore shooter, imo, not at all. Even some xconsole only shooters are more core than COD these days. Killzone2 is by a mile AND even has proper dedicated servers and no assisted aiming online. Christ! Even the 60player online of R2 is as hardcore as MW/MW2/WaW!Jeez. Oh, and GR, you're REALLY marking this down because it's a Wii game port that isn't as good looking as the PS360 game? Really? That's fair. |

crumbdunky commented on: Fanboys: 8 reasons why they deserve some respect |
|
|
Jeez, whatever. Pointless article though and saying fanboys keep older opnline games alive or care about PLAYING hatdcore games is patently untrue. They may spend all day, as many of them do, TALKING about Halo. Or indeed taking any slight positive criticism of Halo in the same way we might if someone calmly informed us they'd just raped our mum AND did it in front of the kids but they sure aren't still playing it-gamers are. Gamers will play the hardcore games too-as well as moan when there aren't any-whereas the fanboy, with far more internets whining time than gaming time will not play any games that much. True about the E3 slides though-it's why Sony fanboys love Mr Tretton so much as you can ALWAYS rely on him sending the tone of excitement through the floor with predicted PS2 revenue in Galapagos over the next six months slides. And yes,they ARE passionate. But it's so musguided they need shooting. They support one face;ess corp over the other AND over their fellow gamer too-is THAT healthy? Do we imagine Sony or MS care about THEM? Not if they spend too much time moaning to buy any bloody software they won't. That said they will enjoy the free spin they get. Sadly, though, the feeble and selfish "my way is the only way" arrirude of fanboys is what has infected the whole gaming community of late. If we had a real gaming community(and we don't right now so lets not pretend , eh?)we would ALL have stood up to IW/Acti and demended dedicated servers, a decent story and a longer campaign from the biggest oponline game of the year, the biggest entertainment event of the year and the releasde of the year wouldn't we? It's 2009 and the game most famous for it's MP wants us playing on creaky old P2P? Not good enough and what was the reaction of console gamers when PC heads lost dedicated servers and were asked for more cash into the bargain? They laughed and said they all deserved it paying no mind that they ALREADY pay that much and more and get shafted with P2P all the time. Why didn't they also demand it? Because fanboys are affecting the way we think and it has to stop or we'll be Kotick's nitches forever and a day. There is only idiocy in console evangelism. The mindset of the fanboy has encroached onto mainstream gaming's brains and left us unable to defend purselves from massive rip offs like MW2 or call out T10 for being complete twonks this year! The sooner the fanboys die the sooner we might start getting some value for money, decent haardware from MS and everyone else and maybe, because it's 2009 PEOPLE FFS, dedicated servers and more than 9v9 in COD next effin time. Fanbyism killed the unified gaming community and now we all have to pay. All the time. FForever. So don't make out there are good points when there just aren't at all. Except the slides. You were right there I suppose-otherwise noone would listen to Jack's fave bits. |

When will you guys stop playing to the gallery and can the same old Wi nonsense. There's some great games on the console and more coming. Sure I wouldn't want one as my only console but as part of your gaming line up they can be great. I wouldn't have missed Madworld, Extraction,Z&W, CBoomblox, De Blob,Muramasa, NMH, MetroidPrime3, Punchout!!, Brawl, SMG and a good few others for quite a lot of the fine brewed beverage originating from China-and is there a MORE hardcore game on the horizon than Sin and Punishment 2? Not for me there ain't and only a crazy desperado with nothing to lose would suggest otherwise! Be that desperado I dares ya. Be him! That kind of previously Japan only til appearing years later on VC crazy assed shooty, shooty is the stuff "core" is made of and you should know that by now. Yes, there's a ton of fluff and nobbly bomsence on the Wii-but there is on PS2 as well and we ignored that pretty well so don't be so alarmist you reactionary dogs! Besides, picking on the Wii's soft underbelly of casual gaming grans is rapidly becoming the games media equivalent of gathering new born St Bernard pups into a sack before casually kicking them to a bloody pulp. You can consider yourselves warned. And how. Watch yourself GR, watch yourself. Maybe not today maybe not tomorrow but soon and for the rest of your life you'll regret your "lighthearted" jibes at an innocent cconsole and it's unfairly treated new demographic. We were all casual about this thing once you know-even me(VERY hard to believe with my reputation I admit but it's true nonetheless)and yes, even you at GR. None of us were born with controllers in our tiny hands now were we? We didn't all refuse to leave the womb because we were all in the middle of a Doom marathon LAN party with the other unborns on the maternity wing so stop it, K? Lets mum, dad and gran, little bro and baby sis grow their gaming horns in peace just as you were allowed. It's only fair. |

Samus-IDK the reviews for this have been very up and down and if you love Mario then I'd err on the side of reviews like this or at least take a little cation with the game. Look at the levels. Do they seem as fun filled and challenging as classic 2D Mrio? I've just come from playing Sonic2 and , being nonest, this looks like such a meek challenge after that it's not true. Like I feel you were I was hoping for greatness(AND to play with a GC controller and nothing else!)but this doesn't look or feel great and I felt some of the more fawning reviews were just over hapy to have a 2D Mzza ar all as every level I'ce so far seen looks like not just a rehash but also a toned down one and the fact Wii has way more power than a snes makes it even more clean and sparse looking. I'll be brutally frank with you-I reckon GR(and I've had ISSUES with them reviewing of late)are going to be pretty close to the mark. TRemember, also, how many writes grew up with Mario games like this and a fw of the slobbering reviews make more sense-they WANTED it to be great so it was always going to be-even if the game isn't as good as the glorious past. After the triumph of the admittedly Ratchet aping SMG(though how far and hopw wellm Ninty went with it is amazing)this looks more of a nostalgic throwback just with the difficulty eased for newer gamers. It's something I was scared of and appears to have happened. Is NOTHING sacred Ninty, nothing? |

Gameguy-Do you LIKE the fact that we get shafted by most devs into crappy P2P on consoles? Haben't you noticed how much better games run online with them when we et them-which is quite often on PSN while less so on Live? Don't you imagine that had we gamers, like a REAL community, stood up together with our PC gaming bros and demanded not only dedicareds for them buy also for PS360 that we might have got them? The game wouldn't have gone anywhere and a real cross format stance of "no buy til you sort out the MP servers-and the sly price hikes and the homophobic videos and..." would have scared them if many of us joined in but no you'd rather laugh at PC gamers being shafted like we console gamers ALWAYS are because we can't stick together. Honestly, like you the gamiong community need to grow up or we'll be paying more and more for less and less. Fewer features and lesser amounts of R&D as we gamers get squeezed even though WE support the whole damn thing! When will we stop being a console gamer and a PC gamer before we're just gamers. til we do we're easy meat to IW and Co who'll take every penny while doing less and less work in future. Seriously, do you LIKE paying more and getting fewer features and worse online performance? Thats' what they're offering and you endure with that attitude. Chrisy on a bike sopme people can't see the wood for the trees. You seriously think anyone's better off with P2P? Console gamers should want them AS WELL as PC gamers and allow us to ship in some mods too like we can for UT3 on PS3. I LIKE free content, again I suppose you don't, is that it? |

Because it's an update of an almost completely different game. It has NOTHNG to do with the PS360 PES. If you bother to learn enough to play along it's a VERY good football game and the fact they sound like they're diappointed with a 9/10 scoring game shows that very well, imo. The only thing I WILL say, though, is that when you play enough of it, this years PES on PS3 is actually a little more realistic a football sim than it's flashy Fifa rival and I fear no rebiewers and few gamers gave it enough plays through. I'll admit the relative pace of the players within the game is plain broken and needs patching BUT if they did that it'd be an amazing effort and my fave since 2004/5. |

Good list and Samus should be top of a LOT more lists of many amazing and differing kinds. However, and despite her unusually long feet(though I just blame the style of high heeled slingback she favours)I'd always put Ada Wong in this kind of "strong woman in games" list. It's not like sh'es over revealing or over endowed in the chest and bum stakes-she just likes to kick zombie/mitant/parasite host ass in a crimson cocktail dress. Still, she keeps her own counsel and plays all the leading men of Resi ioff against each other with her own, very personal and mysterious agenda. So, yes, Samus is safe at humber on but there should have been a place for Ada and in the top 7 at that! Just saying but good work otherwise. |

Didn't read like the review for an alledgedly perfect game to me-and having NEVER played any game I'd give 10/10 I must say every 10/10 score confuses me a little. However, when I recall the reviews for the likes of GTA4(which most reviewers went perfect over)I rememver them being a lot more gushing than this, saying how much MORE and BETTER than the previous game in the series or last great in the genre they were. Bottom line, from mates who've now finished it(I won't be buying into IW and Activision after they scalped us in the EU in the name of ripping gamers off eberywhere next time, being homophobic in promos, lying about WHY they did what they did to PC gamers, saying they hate fanboys but being on record bitching about the PS3 and being close to Kotick among a host of other gamers hrming activities-seriously-they did a proper divide and rule in the name of even higer profits and giving us all crappier multiplayer in future)in SP and played a decent amount in the co-op and mp they reckone it's a good game, even a great one in some areas but basically just more of the same with a crap story. There's no technical advance, it's got the same shoddy AI and there's NO innovation(which apparently killed KZ2 EVERYWHERE!)whatsoever-and this is coming from mates who are mssive fanboys of the MW/COD franchise(and who STILL bought the game despite my endless messages about how they were helping Acti bend over the gakming commmunity and "were they proud f that?"). I'm sure it IS a good game and I'd love to be playing a little bit with you(though only a little as COD controls bore me silly with their two minute learning curve-where's the challenhe?)but I'm just not buying perfect-well, in fact I'm not buying at all as already EA are looking to follow Actis lead in shafting us by culling new IP-we should have stood up together over what they were doing wrong, imo. We didn't and now they know they can teat us like cack and we'll still turn up like giddy, hyperventilating schoolgirls at a JT gig for the midnight launch. Why didn't we stand up over the EU hike or for PC gamers? Why? Because the game's perfect? |

Oddly enough, and possibly in a quite unfitting manner, I felt the needcart" myself last year while watching my little lad playing around on Club Penguin on Miniclip. The shame I went through just for that cart game! Created my own little penguin and everything just to race through those mines, tilting and jumping my cart over the obcs and round the corners! The joy! And there I was thinking I was a lone carting crusader willig to shun COD4, KZ2 and GEars just to hit myself up with that mine shaft action! I was really just expressing my rightful desire, a wish that resides in all true gamers! Thanks GR and thanks Mr Houghton! You changed it from a dark, bitter secret into something I can proudly bellow from the rooftops! Viva la carts! That pink penguin is no longer a thing tha shames me. |

While MP3 might have been a bit serious and gamey COD is everywhere! It's on the news FFS! They , newer gamers, will have seen MW2 so why not give them the first one even if IW were far too up themselves to ever make it themselves(the tossers).
Besides, no "hardcore" shooter would go FROM dedicated servers to P2P, now would it? COD aimed at core gamers! I've heard it all now I really have. What are games like Operation Dragin Rising and the Battlefield games, MAG or Counterstrike aimed at then-supermen? Alongside Halo COD is the most approachable shooter available with it's aim assisted gameplay and as such is PERFECT for the Wii and it's demographic where there were a lot of people(over a long while admittedly but Wii COD doesn't get advertised does it?)ready to shell out for WaW last tme out.
Whatever, COD just isn't a hardcore shooter, imo, not at all. Even some xconsole only shooters are more core than COD these days. Killzone2 is by a mile AND even has proper dedicated servers and no assisted aiming online. Christ! Even the 60player online of R2 is as hardcore as MW/MW2/WaW!Jeez.
Oh, and GR, you're REALLY marking this down because it's a Wii game port that isn't as good looking as the PS360 game? Really? That's fair.

BTW, I HATED that record when I was young and so did you-don't lie, and we both still hate it now. Toto indeed. I don't expect to be reminded of such dricel because of tenuously related song titles being bandied about!
