the biggest disappointment for me Bullet witch.. how could they completely screw up such a cool premise as this? From horrible mechanics to disgusting, agonizing dialogue, BW is the perfect example of when great ideas just don't materialize well..

biggest surprise was crysis. This game is sheer brilliance despite its 'point and click' FPS origins. the crytek engine is extremely robust, complimenting the huge environments, lush, life-like foilage, physics and lighting effects.

Another surprise was mass effect. Even the name leaves much to be desired but it's an awesome game. Waiting for my copy of MGS4..

to me, it actually depends on where you game. if you find yourself spending alot of time on 360, then obviously that's the sure bet, same for the PS3 but you only need one, either of them is good purchase. Wii is fun to play eventhough it looks like some bad joke. When I'm taking a break from Mass Effect or GTA4 (PS3), Mariokart wii is great, light-hearted fun despite the computer cheating like crazy.

from the perspective of having both, i can certainly say i've been using my 360 more than the PS3 but that's expected to change once i get a copy of MGS4.

On topic: 360 has a native upscaler where as the PS3 had to get it in a firmware update. Otherthan this, they're roughly the same in my opinion due to the sheer fact that you need a magnifying-glass to tell the difference between most ports visually. d--n, i just remembered i need to download the new firmware update for that and for wii..

[QUOTE="espoac"]I almost feel sorry for Microsoft. They pay off countless companies for exclusives, sustain billions in losses and introduce some generally innovative features (XBL)...yet they still lose. At this point I'm left wondering what they could possibly ever do come out on top in the console business.jlh47
