Fanboyism. It is common. It is annoying. It is immature. It needs to stop.

Fanboyism is something you can find in any comment section in any game related website. It is especially common on Gamespot, which along with IGN are dominated by Xbox 360 fanboys, who seem to do nothing but comsume their life with everying thing related to Xbox.

Fanboyism pretty much began when the Xbox launched. It did have earlier roots when the Playstation launched, but the Nintendo fans didnt take it out too far. However, Microsoft realized that Sony was making a lot of profit off of the first Playstation and feared that the PC market would die out one day. They then rushed their own console out, marketing it as the most advanced and best gaming system out in the planet. Well, of course it is. It was the last one to be released in the 6th generation! Microsoft then tried to hype their console more by unofficialy sending a message to all of their fans, telling them to hate Playstation and put down anything good about it. When the Xbox 360 came out, Microsoft realized they had to do more. They basically tried to steal exclusive titles from their competitors by begging and paying the developer and make their version look superior. They did this by adding these small things that didnt matter much, also known as the achievement system. They also added DLC. A good example is GTA IV. Microsoft tried to unbrand the game as a Playstation game and rebrand it as a Xbox game. That is a dirty thing to do. And whoever said that the DLC is guranteed to be good? It is not guranteed to be good and most people do not even finish the original missions to begin with. Another thing that Microsoft did to make fans of other systems mad is to steal features of other consoles and put it into their own. I know all of what I just said made me look like a hardcore Playstation fan, but it is all true and it had to be said by someone.

Playstation fanboys on the other hand, you all need to stop retaliating. It makes you look like little whiny boys. Let the Xbox 360 fanboys dominate the comment threads if they do not stop making stupid comments when you ask them to. By letting them dominate the threads, you make them look like losers and let them waste their time. You guys also need to calm down on bad reviews. It is going to happen when your console is a dificult machine to tame. Also, do not go bashing the Microsoft fanboys when Microsoft copies Playstation. Playstation also copies them, but not to the same extent.

Nintendo fanboys, you need to stop bragging about how Mario, Zelda, Metriod, and Super Smash Bros are the best games ever. They are overrated and about 85% of you have to grow up. All of those games listed above get away with a lot of things. They do not get criticized as much as other games for having a bad story, and all of these games pretty much use the same plot over and over again and to add fuel to the fire, they are simple plots. Also, these games do little to innovate from the last one. Other games get hit real hard for that . It is ok for you to talk about how much you like so and so, but please do not go ranting about how Mario got a better review than so and so especially since the other game gets criticized much more harshly.

BTW guys, I like all 3 consoles but I just dont like the fanboys that come with them. Just play and enjoy and shut up. If your games were really that good, you would not be spending you time on the thread commenting.

When I first saw the Playstation 3 game case, I thought that it looked pretty retarded. However, since I am a Playstation fan more than I am a fan of any other platform (I do not hat any platforms), I went out and bought a PS3 in March. Along with the PS3 I bought Resistance: Fall of Man. As soon as I tore off the plastic wrapping of the game, I immediately changed my mind about the Playstation 3 game case design and liked it better than the existing DVD cases used in the Playstation 2, Gamecube, Xbox, Xbox 360, and Wii. Although at first I thought that the top of the PS3 cases looked really dumb, I have since grown to like them because I feel that it makes the cases look more futuristic than the cases of the 360 and Wii.

I play many types of games.  I generally play shooters (first and third), RPGs, action-adventure, racing, and strategy games.  The shooters that I recently enjoy playing are Halo, Halo 2, Gears of War, Resistance Fall of Man, Fear, Timesplitters, Far Cry, and Counterstrike.  Although I said that I like playing Gears, I do not own an Xbox 360.  Instead I go over to my friends house (a lot) to play.  However, I do own a Playstation 3 and I have to say that it is an amazing console.  Resistance is a unique shooter that I really like because it is just simply fun and addicting.  I also like it because it has some things that remind me of Ratchet and Clank, another game that I really like.  Some shooters that I am looking forward to are Halo 3, Crysis, Gears of War 2, Killzone 2, and Resistance Rise of Man.  I will buy an Xbox 360 just for Halo 3 and I know that I will enjoy it.  I also hope that Killzone 2 will be better than the original Killzone because I know that the game has potential and now that I know how much money Guerilla is spending on it, I am sure that it will be better.  It was obvious that the original Killzone was not worked on very much because of its poor frame rate and glitches.  The online also could have been much better.  Another thing about the original Killzone is that in the campaign mode, enemies were just not fun to kill.  For RPG games, I pretty much like any Square Enix game.  For action-adventure, I like games like Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, God of War, and Ninja Gaiden.  I do not however, play GTA games because I just do not see the point in playing them.  It is just the life of a gangster.  In real life, gangsters get busted, shot, or get infected with STDs or some other thing.  Racing games that I like are, Gran Turismo, Forza Motorsport, Project Gotham, Ridge Racer, Motorstorm, some Nintendo Racing games.

This is my very first blog entry. I am sorry if I do not have many game reviews at the moment, but I have played many games before joining Gamespot and will write reviews for those. I promise that I will be unbiased in my reviews and will not compare them unfairly. In my reviews everygame will have a rated score based on how I liked the game and a final score with added or deducted points based on how long its been in development, what generation it is, etc.
