Notice also that the only thing Gears of War had to live up to was to have the best graphics. As soon as it did that, the hype was met. All other flaws were downplayed or ignored. And by flaws I mean a 5 hr long single player
Gears of War is different in many ways. It doesn't deserve its reviews, etc., but at the same time it doesn't have to live up to any other game in its series, because its the first game in its series.
Just last holiday season, a game came out that is surely on of the best games of 2006: Zelda Twilight Princess. Yet by fans it was met with dismay, nitpicking its flaws, and compared to Oot innumerous times. The fact is, the weight of Oot and expectations/hype surronding it broke it down in fan's eyes. Halo 3 and SSBB are the most wanted games this year, and indeed this generation. How will they fare? Will fanboys and hype break them? Even update in the SSBB website is met with: "this information isn't new/suck." Halo 3's graphics are just fine, but they are constantly insulted and called: "ugly/last-gen." Zelda: Twilight Princess is an awesome game, but fanboys claimed it sucked and ruined its reputation. If Halo 3 and SSBB get over hyped, it will surely dissapoint. Consider yourself warned.
THats because the Ds Lite has gone through the roof in sales. No need to keep GBA. Whats the point? Its like your deevolving your product to serve a small minority who still want a GBA-styled handheld. The PSP and DS Lite are the pinnicale of handheld gaming; no need for a GBA
