1.3 - i told you so....

yup! the brainwashing is beginning. just look at the multiplatform games they all have the xbox logo's and green boxes, making it seem like there are 12 games from ms that is on the top 20 chart.

and what happened to motorstorm 2, wipeout hd, naruto ultimate ninja storm, socom confrontation and valkyria chronicles and also the better and improved bioshock and eternal sonata.

Motorstorm 2 must have been forgotten, weird really since it seems to be getting a lot of attention, right? The rest were left out for massive suckage, or because they are remakes of old games alternatively released like a year ago... Daaaa?

And yes, its a huge conspiracy! MS is the devil, they are trying to brainwash us by making Yahoo (because MS & Yahoo=BFF) label all multiplat games as xbox games!

1.11 - MS has Yahoo in their back pockets

As an owner of all 3 next gen systems I can honestly say without any fanboyism that the PS3 is the best system this generation.

I have played the best games each system has to offer and the only system that I buy games for now is the PS3. The exclusives are amazing. The only 360 game that even comes close to the PS3 exclusives is GOW.

GOW although a fun game was very shallow due to the size restrictions of DVD. The boss battles were pathetic (minus berzerker).

The reason why Microsoft/Yahoo are brainwashing gamers to think the PS3 is not a good system is because they are afraid of the PS3's momentum.

The PS3 is now showing its power!

The only way to stop its momemtum is to play politics similar to the presidential candidates. Brainwash the people to think that the system is inferior and it will work on the gullible.

It wont work on smart gamers and gamers who research to find the best system for their money.

It is a no brainer!

50 gig Blue ray, Cell, etc. This system is a monster!

I have played through Drakes Fortune 4 times and I still rotate the camera in amazement at some of the areas in the game. The detail is amazing!

In the end, I really hope 2 things happen

1) Microsoft continues to compete against the PS3. It is healthy and the gamers win.

2) Gamers learn as I did that the PS3 is an experience they cant pass up and purchase the most powerfull system on the market today.

Which I have no doubt will happen.

I have to say that kind of is subliminal advertising. If for instance the only pictures you ever saw of tissues were Kleenex brand, you may think they are the only ones who makes tissues. In fact, many people (primarily elderly) who came into my old job at a retail store didn't call them tissues, just called them Kleenex. Maybe they didn't know any better because of what ads they saw.

Or maybe they were just old and forgetful. Both very possible.

...the fact that Yahoo is someway against the ps3. No Socom? No Motor Storm? They put PS3's two biggest games because if they didn't then they might have gotten shot. Lego Batman, Banjo, and James Bond over those games...you got to be kidding me. I am not any fanboy, but I do realize when there is fanboyism with an article. If you seriously doubt this, then please...reconsider your thoughts.

Edit: Ooo and I forgot to add...Tomb Raider: Underworld? NFS: Undercover? Yahoo must have some really bad taste in games.

the big issue with the Yahoo's list is that it is geared towards casual gamers and what games are going to be popular this holiday season.

Which would explain why games like James Bond were on the list. Since no matter how good the game turns out to be. It will sell like crazy.

@ Assassin297, yes LEGO Batman, very much yes, i personally cannot wait for LEGO Batman. and while Mirror's Edge looks good, i'll be waiting for reviews to see how it all comes together.

I'm pretty sure Yahoo has the dumbest writers i've ever read something by. Why, when talking about Left 4 Dead did they say, "the zombies are fast like in 28 Days Later, not the slow one's from Dawn of the Dead" under why it's NOT? what f*cking fun would a game with super slow walking zombies be?! its supposed to be FAST and GRUELING and VICIOUS. not a walk in the park.... no wonder they put f*cking Animal Crossing on the damn list.

Is this a list of games they think will sell alot? Because I agree Motorstorm PR should be on here, but yet, theres f*cking Animal Crossing.

I think we can all agree, the Wii has absolutely no games this holiday season, and it makes me laugh :)

Well luckily your definition of "crap" isn't the standard. Foolish console fanboys don't have any sense of what is good or not. You're comment holds just as much weight as...

"Is there any decent games coming out on 360 this year and I don't mean Gears 2 or Fable 2, because they are both crap"

I am sure you main intention is to get people who are "a fan of games" upset, but you should do a little more research next time and maybe your arguments will hold such weight.
