Its the same game...

same weapons...

same multiplayer style....

same cinematics....

no new innovative things.

ERR! wrong! New weapons and different multiplayer style (it introduces a NEW xp system, where depending which pack you choose, you will be rewarded for offensive or defensive capabilities). But cinematics are the same - but what's wrong with that? The only thing I don't like about it is that the graphics aren't updated one bit.

I believe the only things that BF3 has over MW3 is better graphics (and maybe sound?) and a DIFFERENT (note, not necessarily better) kind of gameplay, BF3 being more tactical like TP said.

I agree though, ppl are hating too much - but of all honestly BF3 will be more successful on PC's than on consoles, thanks to dumbed down controls and graphics on the console version.

Remember, InfinityWard has yet to make a bad MW game. I like both games, but depending on what reviews show me, I might be thinking of getting BF3 - but if BF3 turns out to be not as good as hoped (bad AI, lackluster single player experience, glitchy/derivative multiplayer), MW3 is gonna be a sure bet. Ppl are just hating just to hate in this case, b/c if logic serves me right (seeing from gameplay videos from both MW3 and BF3), BF3 has a lot to prove, and MW3 has little to improve on

Yes I agree! Jak should be the at the forefront out of all the games being remade in hd. Great series (though the 2nd one sucked...)

Out of those games, it's BF3 for me - it's something different, while uncharted 3 is gonna be more of the same (even the ppl at kotaku admit the same - go see their bonus round interviews on gametrailers).

You should expand the list though. Skyrim is my number one pick, beside MW3 or Dark Souls. The others i cannot afford admittedly, time wise and money wise

[QUOTE="MethodManFTW"]Me me. :D I'm so excited.. I start my vacation on Wednesday so I'm kinda bummed I can't play a ton right away lol... But yeah, I've never played third strike before so I can't wait to start. e_stone001

I played it on the anniversary collection on the ps2, and it was teh only sf i got into. SF4 ended up being too techinical for me (it's a slower, more methodical pace compared to sf3), and sf2 (the hd remake) is too - well, old. MK9 was great as well, but this is just more affordable than any other fighters out in the market right now. Plus it's a cult classic.

I love sf3 - admittedly it's the high-end tournament plays that got me mesmerized (diago vs justin wong, anyone?) - sf3 is all about comebacks, thanks to the parrying system

People often say certain games are so much worse on PS3, but to be honest I can't even notice a difference. As long as the performance isn't New-Vegas bad where it freezes every 30 minutes, it won't detract from the experience for me.

I saw your SIG - GOOD LUCK platting Vanquish man. If you do, you are seriously good at gaming. I gave up on the last challenge mission - got to the 5th round of hte last challenge, and I would just keep dying. It's the first plat I gave up on since I decided to start platting stuff - but mind you I'm relatively new at the trophy thing - only got 2 plats before even tryign Vanquish, and another after that.

As for the topic, it may or may not be. Hopefully skyrim will be a good version on the ps3 - hopefully the most optimal version of skyrim (oblivion on ps3 is the most superior version of hte game, as people say). I can't wait for that and dark souls!

FF13 - yeah i wouldn't go back to it unless I REALLY want the plat trophy to go along with it. That said, that's too much of a hassle. FF13 is boring, period. I say it's more boring than watching regular television, and that's saying something (I don't watch tv much - my gaming to tv ratio is pratically 15:1).

[QUOTE="BigBoss255"] Hopefully it's not too dated.BigBoss255

That's what I was worried about, but rest assured that it isn't. It actually holds up very well.

It was better than CT I thought, at least in terms of fun. The single player was OK, but I loved the deniable ops - it was pure splinter cell gameplay, over and over again. Conviction may have been the worst game you played last year, but it's definitely the best splinter cell game to come out since PT, and also in terms of polished presentation / story.

Pandora tomorrow is the best of the series, next to conviction. Chaos theory was relatively boring, actually, and I can't put a finger on it. Even greg kasavin, a former gamespot reviewer (and hte best reviewer of all time) gave the "tilt" rating (otherwise known as the fun factor rating) a 8/10. It's jsut average

1) all of the splinter cell games are within 1-2% of each other on gamerankings, so all sites had them scored about THE SAME

2) SC1 and CT are tied with gamespot scores with a score of 8.6, but PT has an honorable 9.1, and it totally deserves it, even while containing less features than CT - that's saying something

3) CT was boring to me b/c everything was automated - from the movement to the one-button actions. Running up walls and doing the splits just took button presses now, instead of player skill. Player choice? There wasn't much, and it discourages what splinter cell does best: stealth. Especially when you can just shoot everyone in the head and be on your way. Previous splinter cells benefited from being linear (in terms of gameplay and mission objectives) because it encouraged stealth (e.g.: someone spotting you even once and the mission is done - that HAS to encourage you to play stealthily and cautiously). Also, CT lacked the difficulty and intensity of previous splinter cell games, and I don't know why that is. It was just boring overall, and it got too stale for me to finish (unlike SC1, PT, and conviction). I've played that all (conviction the most recent, and i played PT AFTER CT and i found PT to be more fun), and that's my opinion.

Pacman CE DX or Marvel Pinball.. Hopefully, soon to be SF: 3SO.MethodManFTW

Pacman DX is a good game, but the objectives get stale after a short while. Didn't bother getting all the trophies.

My favourite must be Pixel Junk Monsters - I would still play it, but the "strategy" to beat some levels is just too rigid at times, and that halted my progress in the game. The music in this game is great, and gameplay is addicting.

Special mention goes to Stardust HD - a great pick-up and play game, with great music and addictive gameplay as well.

My favourite downloadable game of all time (that's not on ps3) is world of goo though - atmospheric, moody, witty, clever and addictive gameplay, and a hint of comedy. It's great!
