Someone's clearly biased against gaming.

Even some children's toys would say simply "6+" or whatever. Implying that 20 is the maximum age is laughable. I didn't know video games all of a sudden became unfun at 21.

Well there is clearly a disconnect in almost every game between the "action mode" and the "movie mode" in which the character takes over and talks for themselves. I think this disconnect is the cause, since you're used to doing all the work in the "action" mode but then you're told to F off and watch in the "movie" mode.

Ok, well you're not told to F off but you get the idea..

NCAA was hardly worth my time. I doubt Madden will be any different. Madden seems to have jumped the shark and then proceeded to drown while being eaten alive by said shark.

I wasn't even a fan of 2K when everyone else was, but clearly it's proving now that competition is absolutely necessary.

Why don't more devs do what Warhawk did?

Splitscreen AND online at the SAME time. Why must it always be one or the other?

Real smart EA. "Telling" the gamers what they want instead of giving them what they're asking for.

It's 15 bucks. Other than that it could use another few maps, it's worth it. The maps it does have are all great.

And I mean, it's 15 bucks. Sometimes EA still does get it right.

Why would the industry look at a pay-to-play model when the current one works fine? I'm pretty sure customers hate the idea of paying per use as opposed to owning the game outright. Pay-to-play only makes sense in the context of MMORPGs. Am I really going to pay 5 bucks a month just to play one game, and never ever be able to own it? No way. First of all, I'll make damn sure if my kid (when I have one) wants a game like that, I'll beat the crap out of them to ensure that they don't want ...

The best example for demos I can think of is this:

In 2008, for the PS3, two baseball games were to be released. One was The Show 08 and the other was 2K8. One of these games released a demo before retail release, and one did not until afterwards (meaning, until after you became a sucker).

Clearly, if your game is good and you know it's good, you release a demo to try and get even more sales.

If you think the game sucks or isn't as good as the compet...

Well, it certainly wouldn't be good for you!

Just know that the ground (or any other landscape) is not destructable. Don't go in thinking you can RF1-it your way through the ground or something (that would be the one thing I wish they'd have allowed).

It's a solid game, I highly recommend it.

Anyone that thought this game was going to do well, even if it got good ratings, has got to ask themselves even if it were a decent game, hardcore gamers just don't play the Wii that often. This game came off way too much as "Hey, look at the Wii! It has an FPS now! That's HARDCORE! RAH!"

I mean comeon. It would have to get 9.5 minimum to even raise eyebrows since we know the hardcore gamer relies heavily on reviews; just taken together, what's said about the game, ...

The only way they'd ruin games if games were made solely for trophies. Personally, I just play the games for fun and if I get a few trophies, that's cool I guess, but to each their own of course.

For me personally, they may even add less value, since I prefer to play games without any messages but they pop up anyways. It's kinda like watching a movie then having a pop up saying "Congrats, you've watched 30 minutes!"

Whether you love them or hate them, the...

Not that I'll ever own a PSP anyways, but I wouldn't buy this for 2 reasons:
1. Game prices are on the rise
2. Unable to resell the games you've purchased

I wouldn't have bought a game recently that just cost me 80 bucks... luckily I had 3 games to trade in, but there's no way I'm paying these ridiculously prices without trade ins. Games are great, don't get me wrong, but, I'm not going to break the bank for them.

I'll just jump in with the most unbiased comment I can make... what if Natal and 3D gaming were combined into one? While you can debate which, by itself, is better than the other, it'd be hard to disagree that both combined would be best.

That would be essentially virtual games... how come, after all these years, we still do not have virtual gaming? With both press conferences, I would say that we are a step closer. I wonder who will be first to fully realize it.

I'm still waiting for the full version. Seems like it's been forever and it's going to be forever longer though. Maybe I'll cave eventually if the price drops far enough... 20 bucks sounds right to give me peace of mind on thinking that it's a demo.

Don't like the idea of paying 30 bucks for a game that admits in it's title that it isn't complete yet.

Hey man, I don't hate gays but it doesn't mean I have to like them either. I wouldn't hate someone for their lifestyle choice, but yeah I'm probably gonna be less likely to hang around with them. To be honest I can't say I wouldn't buy the game entirely because of the name, it's mostly the fact that I traded in GTA4 many months ago after I hadn't played it for many months before then. All I'm saying is, there surely could have been many other more interesting storypaths they could have tak...

Sales? Ya know, that's fine you can have those, but honestly, I bet those sales will be much lower, based on the name alone. I could live without playing a game called Gay Tony. I mean, let's take it back to when GTA4 was originally released; we all can agree that at the time, GTA4 was a system selling capable game. If the original GTA4 instead was called "GTA4: Gay Liberty City", do you think it'd be a system seller still?

Just telling it like it is. And it'd be...

In all seriousness, do you really want to be playing a game with the word "Gay" in it? Accepting is one thing but I mean comeon, would you really have this on your game shelf? You can accept gays without having to embrace them. I wouldn't buy this game based on the name alone, and personally, I think it's Take Two's way of laughing at Microsoft for paying such a ridiculous amount just to keep it out of Sony's hands, whom Take Two is probably somewhat thankful to on a personal lev...

Since when they gave MLB 2K8 a 4/5 and MLB The Show 08 a 3/5. Well, that's when they lost credibility to me but I stopped watching the show once they changed from the original format. Way too much crap going on on the screen last time I watched.
