I have had my 360 since launch, and I couldn't have been happier. I can acknowledge that the PS3 is a good console - but I just prefer the games and online experience of the 360.

Exactly my words also. I prefer the overall experience of the 360. Also I love Halo and Gears

[QUOTE="bonesawisready5"]

[QUOTE="darkspineslayer"] I defiantly think a little less of Caro after this show of arrogance. :/sonic_spark

Damn. Why is that even necessary? I get it that people take review scores too seriously but she's just poking a user for fun. Really unprofessional.

That's embarrassing for Gamespot and herself.  If you're going to "respond" to a user's comment at least show some professionalism, some class and maybe provide some insight beyond your review in order to explain yourself if you're indeed standing-by your game.

Evidently, Carolyn is incapable of that.  The review is lousy, the score is completely unrelated to what she even wrote in her lousy review, and she shouldn't be allowed to review games period.  She has no concept of gaging scores correctly.

And why should we care about the Metacritic review? Or the average review scores of sites that actually matter?  Because that shows how reliable your review is Carolyn.  That is why.  See, if you're review is a significant outlier from the rest of the pack of reviews out there then that means something is inherently wrong with your review.  In this case it was the fact that hey, the game is hard-obviously I'm not good at it-got frustrated-buried the game.  Interestingly, no other sites lodged that complaint including Gamespot's new affiliate, Giant Bomb.

So by looking at the Metacritic scores, watching and reading other sites/reviewers take on the game I amongst many other Gamespot users, have come to the conclusion that your review is unreliable, Carolyn.

And as a Gamespot registered user for years, upon years, and some more years, not including the time I used to visit the site before registering (add more years), I realize that Gamespot is no longer a premier review site unless Kevin is reviewing, and even then I'm cautious.  Carolyn your review is in the vicinity of Tom's review of Skyward Sword and he didn't even know how to control the game properly.

I can't wait to purchase the game.

 

 

Very close to my words on this! Carolyn has no trust, credibility or respect to her review scores.

This  is non- news.

 

Some time in the future mobile graphics technology takes over 7 year old console technology. Obviously that was going to happen. Then after that some point in the future before this mobile graphics chip goes on sale to the consumer they need to solve heat and power consumption issues. ORLY !?!

 

Btw I'm typing on my 4 year old laptop that has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. In my jacket pocket is a Note 2 with a quad core processor. I know there is still a gap in performance but this achievement is much more impressive than the trash talk above which is yet to happen and imo not likely for 1 to 2 years more.

 

I prefer NVIDIA to AMD but this is stupid. They need to fire their PR team.

I have a 13.3" HP DV-3 laptop and an HTC Android smartphone. Tablets don't interest me in the slightest. In fact, my phone has more functionality than the iPad lol.

In today's world I think mobility is key. My laptop is small and light enough to take on holidays, friends' houses etc. When I can't be bothered with my laptop my phone has excellent support for the internet like flash so sports scores update themselves. I don't need anything else and a desktop is a step in the wrong direction being not so mobile and becuase I prefer gaming on consoles. Except maybe the odd MMO and Diablo :)

Sacred 2 is an online multiplayer RPG. You can play single player offline but I don't know about multiplayer offline.

I live in the UK so American Football isn't too big here. I watched last season on Sky though and loved it!!!I'm a Dolphins fan because Dan Marino is in my favemovie of all time, Bad Boys 2.I'm going to buy Madden 11 to help me learn more about the NFL. So yeah I'm stepping on to the bus for the first time :-)
