To Montrealien:
None of what I said is opinion...google any one of those points and you'll find pages of if evidence backing it up. Just because it's off a blog format doesn't make it opinion. As for no blogs. Do you realize that there is not enough game news to run a social bookmarking site. Yesterday the featured section sat static for almost four hours...and that's WITH blogs. I've got all the press access that gamespot, 1up, kotaku has, maybe not the personal contacts, I'm just freelance. Besides who's more likely to sell out. A blog making money off of merchandising or gamespot? View

U.S. recovery by december?
Not in our wildest dreams. The consumer is 75% of GDP here. The consumer is buried under piles of debt, stagnant wages, and homes losing value. The Fed and Gov are trying to fix this without addressing the consumer issues. It's like trying to fix a flat tire by changing the oil. View

Hit my limit on the other board.
Yes DD will see increased usage, but it will not be mainstream in the near term. Which I reffered to several times in the post. View

I'm not too new.
To George Washington. I don't have cable TV. I have internet, that's it. I watch movies in place of TV. I watch my movie multiple times for instance last month sunshine 5x, I am legend 3x, Mist 4x, Across the universe 3x, Alien Apocalypse .5x View

They pulled a Sony
All they had to say was "People will want to get second jobs to be able to afford Digital Distribution" and it would have been complete. View

Your right but
that's not what Microsoft is saying. They are saying it will be THE format. Check the quote at the beginning. View

I'd like to point something out to the
crowd. My 5 reasons why microsoft is betting on the wrong horse" article is getting hits like crazy. But my "Sony not likely to cut ps3 price anytime soon" article is not. Why is that? View

Huh?
I'm not knocking microsoft. You don't PC game without them. I agree that digital distribution is coming but it isn't a mainstream reality any time soon. View

Microsoft's problem wasn't that it backed the wrong horse.
It's that it never placed a bet. View

I've been complaining about this
for well over a year now. The only thing I can suggest is for sites to penalize these games in reviews for tactics like these. It's one thing to do what Warhawk does, it's quite different to charge for weapons that are already in the game before release. View

after 20 years? Who would have thought. View

That would be nice but,
artists don't pay their reviewers bills nor can they blacklist them out of the industry. It is different in the gaming industry. You can't trust the reviewers words half the time. So you need the score because it's an absolute. For instance if online play is 9 and AI is 4 that gives two different people information that could help them . Someone that likes single player games knows that this game may not be the game for her. Someone who likes online play knows this may be a good buy. An "I give this game 5 stars!" Followed by advertsier approved wording doesn't help either person make a decsision View

Take a good look in magazines and the bigger websites.....
Games rarely rank below a 6.5 and if they do it's because of one of two things. It comes from a small developer/publisher that isn't going to hurt the reviewer by blacklisting them. Or two, half the critics have already called it a crappy game. Need an example Assassins creed. The game was gorgeous but it was repetitive and running back and forth through mostly empty middle space was boring. Not to mention it's B movie plot line. Yet it got great numbers from almost everyone. Why? The developer and publisher.

As for breaking things down and giving an accumulative score of 100. This is the best way to cater to all readers. For instance how a game ranks in content (stuff to do) is far more important to me than graphics. In fact graphics rank pretty low on my list of what I look for in a game. Some people don't care about AI they don't want an uber hard enemy they want to enjoy the progress and story of the game.

Not breaking a game down by category makes a review almost useless. Because your left to decide if the games good enough in by rooting through the careful ,advertiser pleasing, wording.

This is the very reason I started www.HornyMelon.com. Oddly enough I haven't done one review in the month my blog has been up. Mainly due to the fact that since it's not full time I'm not going to waste what little free time I have on games I don't care about. View

I don't think you understand GPL
You can most definitely add functionality and you can charge for it. But as much as EA and the like hem and haw for opensource., it's ultimately in thier court. They could go open source right now, but then they would lose the PC and Xbox as platforms. This is how micrsoft maintains it's monopoly. It maintains the right to pull your license under a number of circumstance. Dell still has to pay Microsoft for every computer it ships with linux on it as per the licensing agreement. View

Monopolies never lead...
to lower prices and higher quality. Only competition innovates and forces prices down. View
