This is something in my opinion that can't be voted on. I feel all three cater to a particular audience when it comes to exclusives. Most Sony exclusives are single-player epic games, and those rarely feature a truly immersive and addictive multiplayer experience. Microsofts exclusives typically offer balanced packages, but mostly leaning towards multiplayer. Nintendo in my opinion focuses on a balanced audience with mainly single-player games. 

Sony: Metal Gear Solid, Killzone, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, God of War, LittleBigPlanet

Microsoft: Halo, Gears of War, Forza Motorsport, 

Nintendo: Zelda, Mario, Kirby, Donkey Kong

I am sure I am missing a couple of titles from each of the respective companies, but these are just the ones that standed out immediately to me off the top of my head.

I doubt it. Personally, I think Scottie is being a little selfish with not wanting to be in the game. I heard it was a money issue with him. I would love the full dream team on there, but I will settle for almost the entire team. Charles Barkley I hear was convinced by Jay-Z to be in the game.

If looking for co-op, then Borderlands, or Borderlands 2 when it launches...Left 4 Dead...maybe get the Orange Box and play some Team Fortress 2? I had a blast with that one. On XBL you could download Gotham City Impostors. Take COD and Batman, have a baby and that is what you get. Fun stuff indeed.

For hardcore fans, like myself, of 2K Sports, most of you may have already read the first developer insight, and seen the video clip as well to showcase some of the changes for this years game. One feature in particular that is sure to sell some people on will be the ability to get technical fouls through Kinect Voice Support. Technical fouls will always be called on the bench, to avoid having players ejected, according to Rob Jones. They wanted it to be fun, not frustrating. It sounds terrific, and more details can be found in ESPN's Hands-on Preview, as well as the first video diary to showcase some incredible changes to the control scheme. What are everyone's thoughts on these changes? Do you consider them reason enough (as well as the All-Star Weekend with preorders) to purchase this over the dormant, and quiet EA Sports NBA Live 13? My personal opinion.....Yes, yes, and an obvious yes. http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/tech/post/_/id/1566/first-hands-on-look-at-nba-2k13

Live is not what it once was. I used to LOVE NBA Live when the PS2 originally came out. Then 2K3, ESPN NBA Basketball (2K4), and 2K5 led a more lifelike brand in 2K. It has been that way since then. I am not a 2K fanboy by any means. I love 2K, but if EA had the better product, I would be playing that. Live 10 was a huge step forward for the franchise, and then they switched developers to the team that made NHL. Why in God's name would you have a hockey studio develop a basketball game? It just didn't make sense to me. Then you had Jesus Andrew Bynum at center court during the demo to Elite, and Carlos Boozer dunking from the free throw without even a running start. I am hopeful that EA has rebuilt this game. The graphics look nice, but we haven't even seen a trailer, or a gameplay video for it. Same thing happened with Elite, then it got canned. Until I see substance, I refuse to say that EA will make the better product over 2K. If the title is only a digital title, then great, because when people buy it and complain that they got ripped off for $60 bucks, I may actually laugh.

The graphics wont compare to GoW3 in my opinion, but as far as gameplay is concerned, you have very few changes. Hammerburst will be the immediate change, as it used to be a more consistent semi-auto weapon. I think you will enjoy it if you haven't played it once before.

'

If you have friends to play with, go with Borderlands. If it's just you, Arkham City. Arkham will deliver the better single player experience. However, with the amount of content in Borderlands GOTY, you would have more playtime in Borderlands.

Couldn't have said it better myself! You can get the GOTY Borderlands for $29.99 now as well. Basically, free game, with DLC, or DLC, with free game, depending on your viewpoint. Arkham City GOTY I believe is $49.99, though I am not positive.

I wouldn't call it a sleeper. Some of us hardcore gamers know about this title. I think it will be similar, as far as success and critic ratings, like Metro 2033, and Beyond Good and Evil from last-gen. Both of those titles got great critic scores and feedback from gamers, but didn't have tremendous marketability from the devs/producers. Sleeping Dogs I expect will be a unique title. Very excited indeed.
