No matter what side of the fence you are on, put your fanboyism aside and enjoy this look back at the beginning of the the downward spiral for Sony and the PS3.
You've come a long way, Sony. Keep it up! read more
At least, not in the way some people seem to think.
Sony stated that the PS3 would have a 10 year lifespan at the peak of their PR bullshit-a-thon.
Yes, the PS3 will still be on the market in 2016.
Yes, you should expect the next Playstation console on the market at or before 2012.
Yes, people will continue to buy the PS3 after the launch of the new console, but all of us reading this will have our eyes on the next Playstation by then.
Yes, the PS3 will continue to get better and better.
The release of Metal Gear Solid 4 has spawned a lot of questions, such as whether MGS4 will be GOTY, or whether or not MGS4 is a reason to buy a PS3. I decided to do some digging, so I jumped over to Metacritic to read up on MGS4. I found that MGS4 had been given a LOT of perfect scores, and has grabbed a lot of reviewers by the nuts. Then I wondered how many perfect scores GTA4 got. Then Halo 3. Pretty soon, I had collected muchos stats about perfect scores given this generation, and I thought it was worth a cblog.
I compiled a list of all PS3 and 360 games on Metacritic which received five or more perfect scores. Here is that list...
I know what you are wondering. Where are some of the PS3 games like Orange Box, Oblivion, Rock Band and Uncharted? They all failed to produce five or more perfect scores. Orange Box (PS3) had 3 perfect scores, Oblivion (PS3) had 3 perfect scores, Rock Band (PS3) had 3 perfect scores, and Uncharted (PS3) had 2 perfect scores. All this does is help show that, so far, multiplatform games (for the most part) are getting better scores on the 360.
So how does that break down per console?
360 GTA4 - 46
Bioshock - 33
Halo 3 - 20
Gears of War - 19
Orange Box - 18
Oblivion - 18
COD4 - 14
Mass Effect - 11
Rock Band - 10
Guitar Hero 2 - 9
GRAW - 6
TOTAL = 204
I think it is safe to say that MGS4 is the "Gears of War" of the PS3. Both games received around 20 perfect scores and both games were 3rd party titles that went exclusive (at least for now). Since MGS4 was published by Konami, a 3rd party publisher, it seems very reasonable to think that we may see MGS4 on the 360 in the future. However, since Gears of War is published by Microsoft Game Studios, I wouldn't go holding your breath for a Gears PS3 release.
What do you all think? Is this proof that games are better on the 360? Do you think MGS4 should have more perfect scores? Is CTZ the sexiest man alive? What does this all mean? read more
There was a time when Microsoft was making internal changes to how they repaired RRODs, and during that time there were horror stories of 360s taking as long as a month or more to get repaired.
From what I understand, it doesn't take that long anymore. My question to the community is...
For those of you who had your 360 replaced by Microsoft in 2008, how long did it take to get back once you sent it away?
Please list your location and the total turnaround time for 2008 replacements only. read more
In case you didn't know, I like to Rick Roll (I'm assuming it's no surprise at this point so I'm putting my penis and testicles on the table)...
I also was the brains behind the Rick Roll in the Dtoid Rap song, but the head community members like Snaileb and Tazar convinced me to "Chocolate Rain" them instead...
Millions of people love Devil May Cry 4, but I didn't like it very much at all.
Am I going to tell you to rent it to make up your own mind? No, I'm going to suggest that you never play it. Even though so many people love it for their own reasons, you should ignore that and focus on the things that I do not like about it.
You could be missing out on one of your favorite games of all time, but that's not important. What is important is that you focus on my opinion.
Left 4 Dead is an Xbox 360/PC exclusive, right? Not only was the Valve game announced as being exclusive to the 360/PC, but Gabe Newell has been very vocal about his displeasure in Sony's big black beast.
Well, in the 1/18/08 1UpYours podcast right around the 69:50 mark, Bryan Intihar stated that Left 4 Dead would be coming to the PS3. His exact words were, "I don't think the PS3 one (Left 4 Dead) has been announced but I know it's coming out."
This is obviously just a rumor, but it's interesting to hear. This is my most anticipated game of 2008. It was originally scheduled for a November 2007 release, but was recently pushed back until late 2008. Was this because it is in development for the PS3 as well or was it just another normal Valve delay to work the kinks out? If true, will it be a timed exclusive?
Nintendo DS and Capcom teamed up to promote pedophilia when Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations was released.
This discovery was made by Joe Burling on Christmas morning. While trouncing through the trial of Luke Atmey, a mysterious voice accused the judge of sticking his penis in young child.
Nintendo and Capcom declined to comment on the story. Now, only one question remains...
