I "considered" being a PC gamer. So, I purchase a $400 graphic card. It finally arrived. Would that be a convenient way? It turns out that due to my computer's mother-board, and the MJNIOR modifiers... and blahblahblahblah.

Good gracious, being a PC gamer is inconvenient. Buying a $250 Xbox, or Playstation 3. that already comes with what I need is more convenient that screwing up another computer. I'm sure a PC gamer could spend 5 billion dollars to create a game that has the graphics of "Rush Hour 2." But, no. Not worth it.

Why don't you just burn the music onto a CD, then download them onto your Xbox? That way you don't have to worry about "sharing" and all that other stuff.

Nvidiagamer, I would just like to comment on your signature. Before I go into detail, I'd like to say that I know plenty of people that say Halo 3 is their favorite game... its obvious. I know you are a Metal Gear Solid 4 fan judging by your avatar, but really... why put a message to offend Halo 3 fans in your sig?

I would like to point out that being a professional reviewer seems to be a troublesome job.

Imagine every time you review a game, or make a game of the year announcement, you have to deal with potential negative reactions.

If I ran a site, I would simply give Metal Gear Solid 4 the game of the year award, because the least amount of people would be angry.

[QUOTE="rob1101"]yea we all know xbox 360 is the worst when it comes to being nickeled and dimed to death. No BC for anything except a handful of games, memory cards, HDD, Head sets. Its kind of sad really, I wish the ps3 took all the exclusives instead :( At least I could use all my old games, USB, Old laptop HDD, and my bluetooth head set.rob1101

are you using subliminal messaging to advertise the ps3 over the 360?:|

Microsoft published Gears of War. They can do as they please with it. Maybe, the author of Harry Potter would've liked his book to cost $2.00.

Before you bash Microsoft, take a look around Xbox Market Place. Some companies literally scam you, and even charge you for "updates" for certain games, while not telling you exactly what the update does. Some even mislead; "customize your character like never before" but when you buy it, it turns out that isn't for all characters(Virtua Fighter 5.) Atleast Microsoft makes it free after a while, and you have an idea of what you are buying. Others don't even explain clearly what you are buying, other than the fact that it "might" be a costume, or there "might" be a new level. Is it only for 2-player? You only know after you buy it. I trust Microsoft most of the other companies.

[QUOTE="Taegre"]I'm still dumbfounded at how people think GTAIV actually has a good story. It's one of the most incoherent plots ever that tries to copy and paste from every crime movie out there, topped off with zero likable characters and one of the least interesting main characters in any game I've ever played. Dialogue is lame, villains are completely forgettable, and the ending is a crime against gamers. I'm not even someone to hate mainstream games, I consider Halo 3 one of the best, if not the best, action FPS of all time. But GTAIV would be a terrible game with or without the hype.PlasmaBeam44

That's all just personal opinion. I didn't find the story incoherent at all, I found that Niko was an incredibly likable character, and the story was not just copy and paste of every crime movie.

And seriosly, you think Halo 3 is the best FPS? That took away any credability you had. COD4, Half-Life, and Half-Life 2 are miles ahead of Halo and always have been.

No, Plasmabeam. It is your credibility that is lost and destructed. So what if he thinks Halo 3 is the best FPS? I think it is the best FPS as well. Half-Life 2 is miles ahead of Halo? I was never a fan of PC games, and especially not first-person-shooters. Halo is the only one of those series I really like. While I'm only speaking of opinion, Halo 3 is the game you can get people that don't even like FPS to play. My cousins, that don't even like those games can play it and have fun. People that are new to games can get into the game, especially with the split screen coorperative play. There is a reason the game is so popular, and is consistently the most played game on Xbox Live.

Yeah, you like "Half-life" so that means you know better than him. You remind me of those people that insult others for liking that "particular Japanese cartoon" that is popular in America. I won't mention that "particular popular Japanese cartoon" that I like, because even though it is popular, you'd probably say anyone who calls it the best show on TV has their credibility lost. In my opinion, that "particular popular Japanese cartoon" is the best new show, and your opinion isn't better than mine.

Where is the counter troll that would say; "anyone who names himself Bionic Commando lost his credibility as a gamer?"

Normally when I see "worst games" lists, they tend to be full of popular games that many people like, the ones that get decent reviews.

I have not played any of the games on the list other than the Devil May Cry 4 demo, but it just seemed that the list didn't target the most "awful," game... but you picked the most big-name games... the titles that would be controversial if you said that it sucked. Putting Gears of War 2 on a "WORST GAMES" list seems controversial, even though I didn't play it as of now.

A used Xbox 360? Seems like a very bad idea. You may be banned from Xbox live from the get-go once you get it. You may be banned from Halo 2 or Halo 3 because of cheating. You may be banned from Gears of War 2 because of bad-behavior from the previous user(s).

Also, if newer Xbox 360s are less likely to get the red ring... you may overall end up costing alot of money. If your Xbox 360 has no internet ability... (tasks as simple as downloading a free patch that fixes bugs.)... and if your Xbox 360 red rings, what will you do? Spend more money to get it fixed? i know atleast 5 people with 360s (with the addition of myself) and atleast 5 of us had the red ring issue. Maybe it'll be safer buy a new Xbox 360...
