I'll do a review much later when I've nearly or have completed it but after 4 hours in I can already say that this game has got to be one of the most underrated games ever. So far barely anyone has heard of it and reviewers like IGN and Xbox Mag call it average. Don't listen to them however! This game is full of action, stealth, tactics and gore gore GORE! Lots of it. Granted its not perfect and I can see others finding it repetitive eventually however that shouldn't stop any action and/or hack and slash fan stall in AT LEAST checking it out.

I hate the concept of a "console war". Its all Sony and Microsoft fanboys care about and the big heads at Nintendo say they don't care about that but bringing in new gamers but when they do well sales wise they THEN START to gloat about it... and in turn so do Nintendo fanboys. Well screw them, and screw you if you care so much about which console is winning, I care about gaming!

Xbox 360 - Amazing so far, been over a year and I haven't got the red ring yet but other who have got it sorted out rather fast so I'm not worrying. Games line up if great with BioShock, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect etc... Now theres alot of people out there who say you can get these games on a PC (or soon to be at least) however one must remember the following, the best PCs cost alot more than a 360... nearly 4 times as much so to be fair, anyone who bashes the 360 because of this is most likely a Sony or Nintendo fanboy.

Wii - Not as amazing but soon to be, we already have Zelda: TP and Super Mario Galaxy and of course theres Super Smash Bros. Brawl to look forward to... but it should be noted that despite what is advertised, not many of these games have that much activity involved on the scale of Wii Sports for example. So all those non gamers who Nintendo like to brag about aren't going to be the lasting buyers. You've got your massive audience now pay up with more REAL gamers for your REAL audience!

PS3 - Its not a bad console, its powerful and realiable but in terms of games its really really lacking. But hopefully 2008 can be its time to shine.

After the first few hours of the controversial shooter, being so not for its content, sales or even when looking with an open mind... reviews, I found it a simple yet fun action game, in the manner of a blockbuster flick. Sure it has its flaws but sometimes reviewers forget a key element.

"Oh no! It doesn't look good!" - I think theres many games that don't look that good either, going to be awhile for another Gears guys.

"Gunplay is broken!" - No, its realistic, I mean thats what happens when you fire a weapon, kickback! Plus its just like Stalker's gunplay and yet they praised that game...

"Characters our unlikeable!" - Erm... opinion... not fact... I know they're technically the badguys but meh, don't lie and tell me you've never cheered for the away team?

Sure its not what was advertised but its still fun. Simple to pick up and its an interesting if bumpy ride. And that whole thing about Jeff? Some people are just plain pathetic when that bombshell crash-landed. You never played the game, you never met Jeff, you never cared before yet all those 1.0s? And guess what, NOBODY LISTENED! I waited and played the demo via Xbox Live and at my friends house and I'm glad I didn't sink as low into mobmantality...

I know what you're thinking, Manhunt 2 right? Well yes to an extent. While pissed off I also found my message for that story deleted, then later I got nagged on another forum... not game related.

No sure why (for all 3, Manhunt 1 seems alot more violent) but still it just goes to show you that we shall be able to see the forth Reich! OH JOY!

Today I look at a news story talking of good sales for Nintendo in Japan... then suddenly swarms of fanboys start posting about how there is no competition and they have better tastes etc etc rant rant rant...

Now lets be honest, if you go to Game Rankings yu'll notice that the Wii has only a few must have titles, both Zelda and Mario franchise. The DS has it's own exclusiveness for the gamer due to the whole portable aspect and for that that DOES dominate the portable market. Now lets look in 2 years time, besides the new Mario, Metroid and Zelda titles what does the Wii have which is fresh? Another motion game? I don't know if you remember Eye Toy but that was considered like the best invention ever... then it died after REAL games came out. I'm sure Wii games are fun for those who have 50 friends that all want to play but in real life there will be 2 or 3 round at the same time, and even then theres always online which the Wii doesn't have, atleast not now.

Then of course you Fanboys all forget what REALLY dominates the market... the PC. Think about it? The Sims rules the charts with every new games, World of Warcraft has over 8 million players, new MMORPGs are coming out every second and the RTS/RTT genre will never die, so console fanboys can keep on debating who is the better person based on a small box when what really matters is what YOU think of the game for YOURSELF.

This includes Sony and Microsoft to.

8.8 is an excellent score thats worthy of great sales and praise yet seriously, the sheer amount of Zelda fanboys are acting like it was given a 3... I don't get it! Are some fans so smug, selfish and greedy that they have to flame an official reviewer's opinion because he was thinking outside of the box instead of being dragged into the line? Apparently so, if you're a Zelda fan be warned that many other gamers will think little of you whether you're a fanboy or not, me? Well, I'm going to play on Battlefield as its hardcore fans stick to their game and don't go nuts over a not 100% prefect score...
