All those are great games but Modern two is just a great game for fans of the series and action in general. View

Its funny, for a company that is so against the negative ads against their OS from Mac, they have no issue in slinging mud against others. I think what we see here results from the fact that for the first time in years Microsoft has competition. They had almost no real competition in the OS market and despite Mac's blustering, they still own the vast majority of the OS market.

Now with the consoles, they lost out to PS 2 and put their focus on the Xbox 360. I live near Seattle and was covering a press function where a Microsoft employee told me that the pending PS 3 was no real threat as it was all cutting edge parts that do not work with one another and that PS 3 systems had been catching on fire during testing and this is what the delay was.

So, after a b ad experience with the original Xbox, namely one year after release, I went out to buy a console with a gift card that was given to us for a promotion. The system would not even operate nor open out of the box. I waited a bit over a year when the 360 came out and got two systems. One for me, one for my father in law. My new system red ringed 7 days after I got it, his took 6 months.

In contrast, my PS 3 was sent to me about 10 days after the launch, it is the original 60 Gig system. To this day, not one error, not one glitch ever.

I always thought that Microsoft was so intent on being first to market to grab the lead, they tended not to overlook system issues and instead focused on slinging mud.

I remeber the big issue about the unit price when it shipped. I did a radio segment and article where I took a base Xbox 360 unit. By the time you added the Hard Drive, a Wifi Kit, and the external HD player, it was more than the PS 3 and had 40 Gig less on the HD. View

I will say this, the new titles look great. Uncharted 2, MAG, God of War 3, etc. I know that Rockstar was said to be working on a PS 3 only title that is going to take advantage of all the extra storage of a Blu Ray. I just wish that this whole 3rd part exclusive stuff would end. XBox 360 owners should be able to play any game that want, and PS 3 owners should be able to enjoy Left 4 Dead and Mass Effect if they want to. View

That was my thought, but according to the P.I. this was the first time in 09 and normally it has peaked in Europe and Asia. They got a response from Microsoft as well. I have all three systems, and honestly, I still like my PC best and PS 3 second, only because I have never had an XBox last more than a couple of months without breaking down. View

Why don't you direct your venom to the Seattle P.I. I am simply reporting their news, it was not one from Skewed and Reviewed, and supposedly the P.I. is a highly reliable source. Facts are facts, PS3 was tops in sales for September 09.

Also, sense you have so much vitrol, why don't you go and post some links showing this news reported here previously from the P.I. that includes the response from "Microsoft. I see you have two reports against the article, but offer no proof, just venom. Sounds to me like a Xbox fanboy who is pissed due to his 12th Red Ring of Death. View

I do both film and game reviews, and I always have issues with the people who take themselves so seriously. I have people who thumb there nose at mass market films to the point where I asked one flat out why she was coming to the films. I told her that rule one is to be fair and objective and if your stated mission is that you hate all mass market films, then how can you be impartial and give an unbias review. I never saw her at a film again. The main thing is to be fair, and judge a film/game for what it is and not what it is not. View

Still, when they announced the game and had magazine writeups nearly 2 years ago, it was reported to be almost like what I think ID is trying to do with Rage. Mix 3D shooter with RPG and blend shooter and Vehicle/racing games. Think standard FPS with customized car fighting like Activisions Interstate 76. View

I cant wait to see the full game. What I played at PAX was limited to a few foot missions in the same local. View

Yes, but lets not forget, PS3 is the most stable launch of any hardware system in history. XBox and X Box 360 were plaqued with issues and 360 still gets tons of Red Rings of Death. View

I have the same issue with DVDs when they put out an edition, then repackage it and send it out again, this time adding something new. I have always cahampioned that they should allow anyone who has an earlier version of a film or game to trade in the old one and upgrade to the new one for a flat fee, say 10-15 dollars. View

I hope the PC version they announced to us today will fix this. View

Lets see, set in Louisana, a large African American population, so of course they would all be immune from the Zombie infection. Lets call the African American character in the game a racist as well as I am sure he takes on several of the Zombies as well. People really need to get a life and focus on more important issue. It would be like me saying L4D was racist due to all the white zombies. View

It was not so soon. I knew of the game over a year ago and did an interview for it at PAX 09. Blizzard announced Starcraft 1 and it took almost a year and a half to be released. View

It is fairly new, we were amongst the first to get any coverage on it. If you check, we have an interview on it we just posted here as well. Only downside to me is the lack of multiplay. Plus side, is a 3D shooter that jumps through time and lets you use the weapons of the era. View
