Choice quote:

Gears 2: "Ultimate blokes game, big space marines..."

I like the part where she couldnt stop looking at the ground :lol:

Space marines? :lol:

the lady knows her ****

COD on DS is weak as hell

the guy doesn't seem to know much. COD 5 and Gears 2 aren't the eb all and end all of gaming dood

I really hate video game shows that talk to the audience as if they're morons.6matt6

Wait, did they just say Soul Caliber 4 was good, family fun?
I'm not going to argue the games-for-girls bit, which I do realize they were addresing. Actually as silly as it sounds I don't think I've ever met a male that plays Soul Caliber. But family fun?
Did they not notice the large weapons, and maybe what they were doing with those large weapons? They weren't talking about how you should never play with knives, they're hitting each other with them. It's a fighting game, not Antiques Roadshow.

Well, really I don't think it's that mature of a game, though this is coming from a guy that started playing GTA at the ripe old age of eight. I'd let my kids play it if I had any that weren't half-mole and therefore thumbless, but some parents are really picky about what their kids play, and I'm just not seeing it.

Let this line be carved in stone and imortalized, as a standard for any review show for the rest of eternity.

Whoops, sorry for not being concise.Yes, I meant Soul Caliber doesn't strike me as particularly violent, and I'd let my kids play it. Again assuming I had them.
Though I'm such a cool guy I'd let them play GTA if they could handle it. :p
