I have to say... I've been very curious about this game. I have no delusions that it's a great game and it's pretty much a point-n-click with a lot of quick-time-events scattered throughout. I'm interested because of the story. Following the "lost can" of dinosaur embryos has me intrigued. I just can't decide if my curiosity of the story is worth $40 for a retail 360 copy or $24 for a digital copy on PSN for plus members, which I am.
Why is Metacritic considered as the defacto site for user-reviews and averages when you also have sites like Gamerankings.com that do the same thing and usually have a different user-review average? Personally, I think publishers/developers put to much stock in these types of sites and their reviews. 90% of the reviews are skewed toward a fanboy perspective and are only really written by hardcore gamers. Casuals would rarely take the time to go online and voice their opinion of a game. Yes, there are some genuine user-reviews to be had, but the point is that these sites are viewed as a make or break outlook toward a game when they should be taken with a grain of salt. Look at Modern Warfare 3... has record breaking sales but, according to users, is a sub-par, poor excuse for an expansion pack at full retail price. So the point that 2 Telltale employees rated the game high is irrelevant. Over the next week there will be so many user-reviews that it will have diluted those 2 votes to pretty much insignificant. And, as stated before, these reviews are rarely, if ever, a true indication of the games real value to potential buyers.
Who the heck voted for Launchpad? First off, you have to be in your 30's to have watched "Duck Tales" when it was on (which most people on this site are not even in their 20's yet). Secondly, he was a stupid side-kick, period. Just retarded. I want a recount. It was the "hanging chads" that got him elected. I call glitch in the system.
These differences are so small that anyone arguing over this is just rediculous. I prefer the 360 myself, but the PS3 screens are pretty much the same to me. Honestly... who cares about such tiny, tiny detail that you'd never even notice when playing the game?
