From what I've seen and read about Lair, I don't like that Heavenly Sword didn't outscore it. I was expecting great things.

They say HS is over too soon....well so was God of War, didn't stop that from developing into a superb AAA franchise. Then again i've always doubted HS and it may not have to epic-ness of Gow. Characters in the game are fugly and i've said thsi so many times.

EDIT: MONSTER HUNTER 2!! Sequel to the most popular PSP game is NIGH!

Tsug_Ze_Wind

And one of their main reasons why Blu-ray is needed and how it would help gaming. So much for Heavenly sword taking up 18GB of space, they probably meant uncompressed.

Don't let me call the SDF on you EwokAssassin

Taked from the SDF

PS2 still outselling Wii in all Major Markets August 17th, 2007 SDF News

SPOnG: Maybe one of the problems for Sony is that Wii has been such a phenomenon in terms of sales that there is perhaps a tendency for people to compare PS3 sales unfavourably with Wii.

Jamie Macdonald:Could I just point something out - that PlayStation 2 is still outselling Wii in all the major markets. End of story.

Heh,both games got "too short" as a negative. Wasn't "too short" the cows' defense against GeOW? :lol:

Tsug_Ze_Wind

More than that, it was their defense for Blu-ray. Blu-ray was going to make every game extra long, and Gears was only short because it was on DVD9.

Stop with the pathetic troll attemps.

73% rating at gamerankings for lair is a sign that its not going to meet its AA hype.

only an 8/10 at a biased playstation magazine is a sign that HS is not going to meet its AAA hype here at gamespot.

underwhelming previews from unbiased sources are signs that HS is going to flop.

An 8/10 registers as being a great score to most people with common sense, however, here in SW an 8/10 equates to "OmFGLoLzORZ, Teh dRaGOn FlopZ, aNd tEh HeavEnly fLOpz. Teh PoS3 wAIt COnTinuEz....GoDlo 3 Ownz YOur SouLz, RoFlzZz!!!11!1":roll:

Anyway, 8/10 sounds very promising to me, and I cannot wait to get both games myself. Lair is paid for, and Heavenly Sword is reserved.:)

Maybe they were just trying to show that they were "unbiased", lol.:P Regardless of scores though, I have known that I am personally going to dig both of these games for quite some time now, and that is all that matters to me.

In any event, for the sake of our discussion of scores here, Heavenly Sword has an excellent chance of getting mid AA to low AAA here based on the demo, and just how the game is being recieved over all. Lair on the other hand still has an equally good chance of getting a respectable AA score here....which is what the game is hyped as anyway. Afterall, it has gotten more postive press, than bad. Let's wait and see, shall we?

here is your link: Kotaku Preview

and my posts are completely understandable. the fact that you feel the need to comment on the grammatical errors in my post shows me that you are out of counter arguments and have nothing else of substance to say.
