Nazi aliens (haven't played Killzone, but know about it, I'm guess they are the bad guys right?) from a piece of fiction wearing masks with red glowing eyes (within an icon, no less) =/= 'stereotypical' (a.k.a. the funky hair/glasses) but real African Americans

And people techniqually defining 'Creatures', all you guys are doing is ignoring all the connotations that go with the word. No matter what your beliefs, Humans are more then what the word 'creatures' implies them to be. Sure, if you want to remove ALL context behind the word, go ahead, but to do that then the word itself shouldn't exist in the first place (since English and all languages came and/or changed via the contexts of words changing).

EDIT: Also, the context of the icon itself has to be considered. Everything else a part from the evil alien are literally animals (within the imagine), and I was unable to find ANY other 'person' icon within the Creature sub-section (smiley faces don't count)... Why are not the Elves considered Creatures when African Americans are? Only thing that comes close is the clown icon (witches in many legends are considered human, more of a mythical creature), and clowns themselves are a cover and not an actual person.

Found this on PSN when trying to choose an avatar, only to find my myself and my brothers in a category defining us by Sony's own standards. There were no images of white or yellow faces, oh no, there was only a black face to be found in this section!

You can put a bow on a donkey and Eurogamer will think its a horse :|

ActicEdge

What are you talking about?

He means Eurogamer gives high ratings to those that don't deserve it. They will rate donkeys with bows as horses, they will rate average/bad games as good games.

The PC can just mod it up.

RE4 had the worst version on PC at first, now since modding it is the best by far (better graphics/textures, new skins, improved controls/gameplay)

While I think he could have been more professional in the language/writing of the article, his points were very correct.

When the Wii came out I was a bit excited. I couldn't wait to see how they could make use of this new tech. The excitement died quickly though. Even without owning a wii myself, I got sick of playing games on the wii. Even Super Smash Bros couldn't hold my attention which is just insane as me and my friends had been OBSESSED with Melee and spent hundreds of hours duking it out.

Even my friend who was a hardcore Nintendo fan has let his wii collect dust and has turned to his 360 (mainly because of L4D) for his gaming needs. I use to kind of argue with him because he always defended Nintendo while I had my major gripes with the Gamecube (didn't care for the controller as much and I felt it lacked strong titles granted it did get a decent number of good titles by the end of it's lifecycle) but now he doesn't even seem to care about Nintendo which is a big change.

Nintendo is making money so more power to them I guess in that regard, but honestly making money doesn't get my respect. The way I see it is they are like those crappy music artists who push out that low quality crap "music" and get rich off it. Nintendo is now just appealing to the lowest common denominator (little kids and casuals who most likely couldn't care about games with strong story or deep multiplayer) and they make bank but have lost my respect.

Somewhere along the line Nintendo stopped caring about anyone but themselves in a sense. They don't care about their hardcore fanbase which they had up till the Wii and a while back they stopped caring about trying to get 3rd party games (My major gripe with the cube was that it seemed to rely way too heavily on 1st party games and the Wii has made that exponentially worse). 3rd party support can make a system and the PS2 (my all-time favorite console) is the shining example of that. Unfortunately Sony kind of lost sight of how a strong library beats processing power and without an amazng online community setup like XBL it they made a console not worth it's price-tag which is sad for me as I had owned and LOVED both a PS1 and PS2 and had hoped to continue on with a PS3.

Thankfully the 360 has done enough to adequetly fill my gaming needs and thats with only one exclusive (L4D) that caught my eye.

LostProphetFLCL

wow you talk a lot of rubbish without actually proving it

the only game you actually mention is L4D which isn't exclusive, far from exclusive, it is 5x better on the PC (and 2x cheaper)

It could kind of look like this concept, only with a analog stick rather then a d-pad Link

TehSonofUgly

def into that

Won't work, the DS3 wasn't designed around the fact that some day it may be split and used with one hand.

I tried it before and it hurt my thumb to try and get to the analog. Just really feels unnatural to have the analog in that position while only using one hand.

I hope this happens just to laugh at cows!

dont-read-this

Another company (e.g. Sega) will just step up to the plate and fill the gap for Wii and the PS3.

Just because a business runs to make a profit and infact does make a profit doesn't mean it's evil. Capitalism isn't evil.Maqda7

Capitalism is more about one doing hard work and being rewarded for it. Overpricing stuff and trying to control markets isn't defined as Capitalism even though of course it is one of the out comes that may come out because of it. It is one thing for a guy to come up with an idea and market it (and be rewarded) but it is totally another when a companies pure intention is to take advantage of a market (whether or not they came up with the idea in the first place).

To add, M$ (in terms of gaming) also comes from the idea that Microsoft really haven't come up with anything original in gaming. Sure, they have enhanced certain aspects in terms of console gaming (not all gaming, e.g. online gaming, since the only advantage 360 has over PC for online is that it is easier for the 'not so smart' people and in general provides better/easier usability) as well as make decent games... But they are purposely playing it safe so they can make a profit, and no... Natel is not original.

Depends if it;s a game series i love (Resident Evil)

If a game is not worth playing on hard (The Conduit) then easy/normal.

Racing games (Do they have a easy/hard mode? lol )

FPS - Again depends on the game.

Or a game i have been waiting for ages I play on hard (Batman Arkham Asylum)

gameofthering

Conduit hardest mode is beyond stupid, since most of the time it had nothing to do with skill anyway. But yer, playing Batman on hard mode atm myself... Combat at first was extreme, but now it is sweet.
