and atleast this guy has a reason to be talking like this IT HIS JOB.....meanwhile fanboys talk jibbirish all the time....about a piece of hardware....bluezclue

No, it's his job to promote the PS3, not trash talk the 360. The former is what adult professionals do, the latter is what fanboys do on system wars.

The whole "10-year" argument is bollocks anyway. Nobody is going to want to play the same system for 10 years, especially at the rate in which graphics advance. In 5 years Crysis-style graphics, already beyond the capabilities of current generation consoles, will be dated and only used in crappy film tie-ins. PS3 might have the blu-ray drive, but for games (which is what it SHOULD be focusing on) it will drop out of the graphics race in 5 years just like every other console. People will then be more interested in what Microsoft or Nintendo's next offering will be.

Just to put things in perspective: 10 years ago the game that was making everyone crap their pants with astonishment was Quake2. The top of the line system capable of running such a staggeringly beautiful game was a 400mhz Pentium 2 with a Voodoo 2 graphics card running in SLI, providing an amazing 32mb of video memory. Assuming technology continues to advance at this rate, you can understand why I think the PS3 will not last 10 years.

This kind of smack talk is what put me off Sony in the first place. Their PR is astonishingly immature for a long-running multi-billion dollar company. It's like it's run by the fanboys on system wars.

Also,the AI in HL1 was bad even for it's time, the story was horrid,and the only things that saved it were mods like CS.HarpoonArtic

I'm guessing you came to HL1 long after its original release. At the time of its releasethe big FPS it was in competition with was Quake 2. Quake 2 and other games of the time had very basic AI (stand and shoot, run towards you) which wasn't waypointed so they couldn't navigate corridors. HL1 featured soldiers that could run around fluidly andflush you out of hiding places with grenades while avoiding yours and believe me, the magazines at the time messed themselves when they saw it for the first time. In fact I think Istill have some magazines in the attic with previews of HL.

The scripted sequences and story-driven action were unheard of in the FPS genre and HL was a pioneer of that. It's easy to criticise it now by today's standards, but that would be forgetting that HL wasone of thegames that made the FPS genre grow up.

Oh, and you can't laugh at mods when Counter-strikehas been the most popular online shooter for around 5 years now, beating commercially made games such as Unreal Tournament and Quake 3. You would be amazed at the number of people who still play 1.6, ignoring even the updated Source version. Natural Selection is another example of what can be accomplished with mods, it's like getting a whole extra game for free.

He's just a troll trying to say "Halo Wars will never be as good as this, PC rules".

I tried Supreme Commander and for all its glitz, it gets dull very quickly and it requires a top of the line computer to run smoothly. I'll stick with my £300 360 thanks.

This kind of response is typical when new people are invited to the club.Consoles used to be only for gamers, and now that Nintendo is inviting the casuals and non-gamers to the party, people are kicking up a fuss claiming it's ruining it.

First ever game was either Elite on the Commodor64, Flight Simulator 4 or Faery Tale Adventure on a 386. I can't remember which was first because I was only about 4 or so. I played with my dad, good times.

One of the CGI trailers on Live has to be the most disturbing videos I've ever seen. It's the one where he's fighting the big daddy and it starts drilling through his hand, then he mutilates his arm with the injection. The only other time my stomach has turned over a game was The Darkness when you're being tortured.

By the way, you don't have to kill the little sisters. They're just one way of progressing, but not compulsory.
