Competitive games are mostly where I'm spending my free time on. Let go of the hope. With better exclusives. Dead Island? You mean the game on PC game too?
Race Pro? Well, if you can't play GT, I guess you have to mention something. Splinter Cell Conviction?! You might as well have listed Alan Wake 2 because it will arrive before it does. Lord Xire Nice rebuttal! Hope this release date is close to what gamestop has it listed.
Yes its multiplatform and no im not some fanboy, if a game is good, a game is good, doesn't matter what system it's on and I hope to god after the new trailer they released this game is good.
Play the F. It's awesome. In just February, I am getting F. Oh, and Killzone 2 for the ps3. Maybe you want to taunt others into say that the ps3 list sucks, so you can say, "oh really, list list list list list" Don't care to bother, because BOTH systems are f'n awesome. Deal with it. It's like the owners of Chevy products saying that Fords suck.
Those people sound like uneducated blowhards. Because they usually are. I have a highly upgraded wrx. My car is much faster than a Mitsubishi Evo, which is the competetion, but I'd be a fool to say that the Evo sucks. Because it is also awesome, and has better steering and braking than my car This year will be no different.
They said the same thing about and in the end the had a better year than the ps3. How can people blind them self with halo wars and ninja blade? You make some games look like halo 3 or ninja Gaiden when they r not. Plz people get real and leave fan boy crap on the side.
Halo wars wow? How can you like Halo wars without even playing it and say that end war sucked? They r both RTS. Ninja Blade is the only title I would rent and if i liked i would buy but i doubt it will beat ninja gaiden.
Some 1 said about ps3 fan boys saying crap every year about exclusives. Well Im srry but if u saw the list of exclusive for both PS3 and 's exclusive list a none fan boy would see that in PS3 had better worth playing exclusives.
No 1 should get ahead and start talking about the games that r coming out cus no 1 rlly knows, anything can change. Getting sick of these lists thrown together and cherry picked for one's agenda. All the exclusives slated for are missing from the list. Worry about PS3. I didn't make up this list; it was actually printed off of a GameStop computer for my own personal use; being one of the largest video game retailers in the world I figured people may be interested However, thats a long time to wait and not even the EU release.
They should call this list the "PS3 multiplatform lineup for ". That's all the is Funny, cause i count 8 games that wont be on the ps3. Maybe you need a checkup? I forgot about the Killzone 2 killer Onechnabara! Keep grasping. Name them so we can all laugh at your terrible, terrible taste in games. Still more then the ps3, not to mention that some of these 8 are all time favorites of mine. Yeah, its funny that the whole xbox got no games for is already turning around in February, after e3 theres gonna be more big time exclusives announced, then its gonna be like all over again.
OOoooo I can't wait! Sorry, I know you love your so much fox, but in , pretty much everyone agreed, even review websites, that ps3 had the better line up in 08, so no one was wrong. I'll wait for Microsoft to surprise me, but I doubt it. And before you argue back in your fanboy rage I already know about the sales of gears2, etc Let everyone calm down, and forget about "whos going to win", and just play the games, there are good games coming out on both platforms, tons of good multiplats to.
It really can't be that fun waiting for sales numbers to be released so you can bash the opposition. Announcements for more accessories? Perhaps owners will have the option to add hydraulics on their system. Xbox twitpic. The story is too old to be commented.
