I personally read the magazine I get (Game Informer) for the Previews and the other various coverage. I usually disregard reviews because they're always subjective, and for the points Chu brougt up. And no matter what you say, magazines(and everyone else, for that matter) will always have some bias. Some just hide it better than others.

On the Prime graphics, I don't see how they could be bad at all. But I suppose that's another discussion.

To Zero Beat: Of course the PC rules consoles. It trades versatility for sheer power. For instance, you can't just pick a regular PC up on a whim and carry it to your friends. Etc.

Game cube needs serious help because most of the good games is for Ps2. Eh for nintendos sake sure ill buy Sc ghost i mean it was made by blizzard after all.

Hmm, this is certainly odd. PS2 has the biggest display case out of X-box, Gamecube, and Gameboy combined. Out of every store I went to.

But that doesnt mean anything, take a look at all those PS2 games, they are almost all complete crap, but who cares since most are only 20$. tongue.gif

Complete crap doesn't stay on the shelf long. And no, most aren't complete crap. But alot are.

Blizzard is unexperienced with 1st person shooters, its hard to say how SC:G will do. They're lucky they have the PC SC to Support SCG...

I can think of very few PS2 "complete crap" games. Here are a few.
-Blood omen 2
This game is complete bull####. All enemies have an attack pattern that lets you break in and kill them. Health is to easy to get, Tonnes of dead bodys to suck blood from for free health. Useless tasks like "Free all Prisioners", I'm a vampire, I don't free prisoners. Useless monsters roaming around "Zombie- Walks around and moans till you hit him, then walk around and screams"
-Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
If you didn't buy MGS2: Substance, you are screwed out of the VR missions. it took me 8 hours to complete the game on extreme diffulculty. You get a sword near the end of the game, that you get to enjoy for 1 battle, then you have to fight 36####ing metal gear rays, how boring as #### is that. Without buying substance, you wasted your money.
-Time Treamors (I believe thats what it's called)
This game is so gay that its bull####. Enemies move so fast that it's is impossible to target them without a automatic gun, and I consider myself a FPS king. The graphics are also stupid, It's graphics are good compared to 2d game but, they lack quality. The characters are gay, you get to choose from; a cowboy, a female astronaut, a cyborg, a butler, or a police officer.

I can't think of anymore right now, because there are not many games that suck for PS2.

SC:G at the very least should have been put out on PC along with consoles...it seems to me that all the SC hungry fans would have computers, as they play SC...maybe I don't understand corporate economics.

And no, I won't buy it.

Actually, Blizzard are only trying to get more people to play their games on every game "consoles" they have. It's all about marketing... Everyone likes SC, it's only on PC (not considering SC64 tongue.gif ), they also have the very UNFORTUNATLY popular WCIII, and Diablo II. They already have PC in their pockets. Now they want to get consoles too! It's as simple as that.

Two battles. And so what if you wasted your money on the first when the other one came out afterwords? Its just like buying a different game when you get the VR missions, so its just like buying two different games.

Blizzard should release an SC:G for PC.. I mean c'mon with the delayed processing of SC2.. they should at least give us another thing to game online with.. somewhat like HALO, we'll all be female snipers killing each other.. man they'd better make some mud pit arena.. that would be great.. I DEMAND an SC:G ONLINE for us ranting.gif heheheheheheehehehehehe

The battle with Solidus does not count as a battle, you don't get to use the sword to defect bullets and stuff like that. Solidus was to easy on extreme anyway, all you need is the body armour and he is finished. I didn't go out and buy Substance, but I did rent it. I couldn't even finish the VR missions in 3 days.

Of course you cant finish the VR missions in 3 days. It took a week to finish the original VR missions. Which, btw, wasn't included with another game. And that counts as a battle because it was sword vs sword combat. More fun than difficult.

Wouldn't releasing it on PC too just get them more cash? I know I'd be more likely to buy it if it were on PC.

Its not as simple as you think. To do that, they also have to re-program it almost entirely so that it will work on PC. Not to mention converting all the graphics, sounds, etc.

Also, I find it funny that Andy ...
