Really doesn't matter who won. Most judge it by sales and forget buyer's remoarse or forget quality over quantity. If you have a sytem with fewer console sales but better software sales, does it still not count? How about if a lower selling console has the highest gamer playtime on average than a higher selling console?

Last generation the PS2 was the concencus winner with the GameCube and Xbox 1 being neck and neck, IMO the Xbox 1 smoked both of them out of the water - anyone would agree if they actuall explored the Xbox 1s library while the PS2 degraded every star 90s era franchise it had.

To me personally, the PS3 is great as is the Wii, wiht the 360 being a travesty, with the RROD and having barely any exclusives at this point and time vs. Sony's prettier console and there's little reason past 2009 to choose a 360 over a PS3 aside from online gaming.

I finally caved and got a PS3 and to me, while I'm glad to finally play these games, what I suspected appears to be true-most of it's library is the same game over and over as is the Xbox. Everything has been slanted towards a shooter/action/mainstream genre to the point where you have first person shooters referred to as RPGs. The diversity of the 90s appears to be gone with Sony and Microsoft. All the old famous Sony franchises have been stripped away of their personality and have gone downhill since the PS2 era and the new franchises, while great, are the same / similar genre of shooter or action stealth.

But this will probably be the first generation without a clear BORDER. The PS3 IMO could probably compete with the Wii U for 2 years very easily. IMO the Wii U seems to have fallen in the mainstream shooter / action trap and am sad to see Nintendo didn't have a stud exclusive and a first party must have title (mario doesn't count).

I was kind of confused by that as well, I wish there was an option to replay all the "cinemas".

I was pissed to see credits after I stepped through that portal...I then took a piss...then came back halfway through the conversation.

how much money will i get for quantum om solace and conduit for wii. they are in perfect condition. tell me the price for each game. also for madden 09.

thx

razorMDshooter

Conduit on ebay usually nets you $23-$28 dollar range depending on condition, time of day etc.

No clue about Solace - how was that btw? Got mixed reviews, but is it worth picking up for the bargain bin?

How's the hockey?

Sonic-Jeff Carter-Mario

Luigi - Chris Pronger

Bowser

They would've said Zelda IMO and that was already announced to be in the works, so people know about Zelda. Mario and Metroid already have titles coming and I doubt the rest of the characters would draw that much interest for them to stir up so much intrigue through mystery.

Got to be a new franchise.

WTF is with all the warning for replying to threads - got warnings for posting on a thread from July of this year - I mean most forums WANT you to do that to limit threads and use the search feature - wtf is the point of having a search feature if GS doesn't want that thread active? I wanted to look up info on games released a few months back like Overlord, got a violation notice for that...WTF? Should I start a new thread then and go against the common rule of most forums: to use the search button for existing threads?

And people pay money for this site? This forum = gestapo.

And pretty much every forum software has features to lock/delete threads past a certain age if Gamespot wants that - the threads aren't locked, so of course, they'll be posted in. WTF bothers to look up the date of a thread. I came here for info/discussion, not to be hassled.

And it links to the TOS...which I can't find anything against replying to threads past a certain age.

They don't even define what is too old...y'a know, y'a could just archive threads past a certain age like any other forum would.

It's a nice feature but personally it is a bit corny and features obscure / nice games geared towards kids/casual gamers like wii sports, DS games etc. IMO I wish it would be more product spotlight and not just skit spotlight. The two hosts are too much. But at least there's other videos.

What they could use every now and then is a few videos a year looking back at classic games available on Virtual Console - not everyone had the chance to play every classic and everyone has at least a few franchises they just never got around to playing (i never played a minute of any Castlevania game and never touched NES/SNES Metroid, F Zero, Kid Icarus to name a few)

I'll probably pick it up used on ebay when it's under $20...too much to play nowadays. Already got 7 games with the Wii to start me off.

Almost done the Conduit and Red Steel. Got to work on No More Heroes and Madworld next.

NHL 2k10 is a timesucker as well, I could probably play that all day.

Reviews are off in general to me. I stopped caring at the Conduit review. Last Straw. And oddly, they give No More Heroes a 9...I like the game, but it's not quite a 9.

EGM in the 90s = most reliable reviews ever. After 2000 they re did the mag, dropped to 3 reviewers then it got shady...I stopped reading a few years back. Now I just learned the mag is dead and been out of print since January, which, if I heard correctly, they ended with one reviewer vs. the original four, and gave grades, not numerical scores.

Times change :(

I guess budgets were too thin for four reviewers per game? Not many mags/sites did that and it was awesome IMO.

I had it back for the NES

i could never get past Garland, the first boss. one time I did, but accidentally walked out of the castle, confused, then didn't save for some reason. (I was 8 I think, maybe younger)

My cart then broke
