Aladdin is and will always ever be the only game that I beat in one day. God, what crap and an odd childhood memory.

Um, not only is GamesRadar very biast on thier articles about the Xbox 360, but, um, Valve is owned by EA, so, you really can't 'outsource' a game made by Valve to EA (the parent company). Thats why on retail copies of Valve games there is a EA sticker on the top... xD

How nostalgic. I argued many times for the SNES version of MK, but knew all along that the 3-button Genesis version was more fun.
Oh, the losing side... why did I spend so much time with you!?

Why does it seem that the first comment in every article is being deleted? Really. The past 4 articles I read all had deleted comments at the very top. Why? Just because of the "First!"?

By the way metalgearps2, EA doesn't own Valve as a company, they just publish the boxed copies of Valve's games. Valve is still as free as air. Unless that's changed since the last time I read Valve's news.

This is just me, but it says in the title that superior ports on INFERIOR systems. I ain't no sony fanboy, but technically they are saying that the PS3 is superior. Just sayin'

I'd say one of the worst ports I've seen in the modern age would be Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. I saw gameplay footage of it, and it looked bad. The zombies appeared from out of nowhere, the graphics looked worse than if you played the Xbox version on a standard definition TV, and the additions of two of the most annoying enemies in Dead Rising history: a zombie poodle and a zombie parrot.
