"Oh the games for the iphone pretty much really suck due to large amount of shovelware."

By that reasoning Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy are garbage because you have to search for them in the store amidst the Ninjabread Man and M&M racers of the world.

"While the price point may be premium, I feel it only adds to the feeling that PSP Go is the elite object PS3 was always supposed to be"

What?! What stupidity is this comment? Is this analogous to the stupid comments Sony used to fire at us "Like we should work extra hard to be able to afford a PS3" and crap? Are you really going there? Why don't you tell us about the historical battles and their giant turtles next.

Seriously I like your articles but when you're stretching that much to justify an overpriced handheld that you have to say the price makes it only for the elite... you're obviously an Apple fanboy or someone who loves their PSPgo and will find any reason to justify it. Wow. Just wow.

20 MASSIVE games of early 2010
It's funny but Nintendo absolutely destroyed my interest in anything Suda 51 does. NMH I found to be a game with prospect but in the end a fairly uninteresting experience. I'll probably play it more when I buy a Wii again but after ten hours I was really disinterested.

Then I find out that he was working on Fatal Frame 4 which is then summarily not brought to the states even though all of the other games had been. So now and forever his name is attached to one of the most frustrating things I've ever heard since Fatal Frame is my favorite survival horror series. Now hearing Suda 51 is like hearing Uwe Boll mentioned. That's how bad it is.

10 up-and-coming devs you need to know about
Dead Space blows anything that RE5 has to offer right the hell out of the water. Its atsmosphere is much more immersive, the gameplay feels much tighter, the hordes of enemies make the ability to move and shoot not a luxury but a necessity and it's overall one of the best games I"ve played in recent memory.

However it's repetitive as hell and you spend a lot of time in samey looking areas, yes. But RE5 was just as repetitive even if the backgrounds changed. Plus Dead Space spared us any ridiculously stupid Gears of War inspired segments and replaced it with an annoying, but not quite as annoying, turret section.

That said I'm actually looking forward to Dante's Inferno more than GoW3. GoW3 looks fantastic but so does DI. GoW3 looks to play almost exactly like the previous game, simply on a bigger scale. But both of them have crazy presentation and huge battles going on... I'll tip my hat to DI. At least that game has a protagonist who'se main motivation isn't "His boundless rage" but something more, ya know, interesting.

QOTW: What once-beloved game do you now hate?
Most definitely Final Fantasy VII. When that game came out I wasn't salivating at the store like everyone else. I simply wanted to play it. And when I finally did play it I felt that while the gameplay was good the storyline was utter nonsense and Cloud was wholly unlikable. This made it a little hard to get into but I still put in over 200 hours into it.

Nowadays though with the rise of whiney emo girly boys as main characters becoming prevalent in the Final Fantasy games I can't even look at FFVII without getting a bit ill. If you've played one preachy Final Fantasy with an unlikable main character you've played them all.

10 websites every Sims 3 player must visit
Ugh. The Sims Resource. I sear to the gods that site... Forget breaking the EULA for the Sims, which by its nature means it's illegal to sell stuff you make for a game like Elder Scrolls Mods, Sims Content, etc. What's really awesome about that site is that if you sign up, become part of the community and then piss off the owners they will share your private information with others and discuss how to make your online life as hellish as possible. Good times!

12 games you might never play
Neither ROB or any of the characters from Earthbound were completely redesigned. they were simply given graphical updates. Kid Icarus was toally redesigned and given a much more interesting look. It does make it seem more promising.

Although as far as DX3 goes I'd be very happy if it blended the RPG elements of the older games with Gears of War type combat. So long as the option for stealth and other playstyles is there I wouldn't complain a single whit. It's possible to have Gears type action along with a mild stealth system and RPG elements in a game.

Left 4 Dead Lighthouse guide
Pretty good article although there's one point where you're startlingly wrong. In many situations you no longer want to melee Hunters before shooting them. Since their pounce knocks everyone away in a ridiculous radius your best bet is to shoot them from a distance instead of closing in again. When someone is pounced, or smokered, they're invulnerable to all friendly fire except explosives or fire. So shoot away BUT stop shooting once you've killed the Hunter or Smoker. This is especially true since Hunters have a great ability to actually hit you while they're being meleed.

So unless you can close in, hit the Hunter off the victim before he takes too much damage and then shoot the Hunter dead VERY fast shooting is actually a GOOD idea.
