yes, Cuja is high, but still...Cero, so are you.

A few counterpoints

10] "As I said before, the Wii is anything but last-gen. I should know; I have one. While Mario Galaxy doesn't tickle me that much (read: I don't plan on buying it), it sure is impressive for those that it does."

mmm, check the specs, IT IS LAST GEN, and yes, my friend next door has one.

9] "I'm not a conventional fighting buff, but for those that are, this remake of Street Fighter 2 might be of interest. Then again, I'm not so hollow as to be a graphics whore, really."

err, fighting genre fan or not, SF2 is still a classic, and a HD remake should be welcome by any gaming fan.

7] "The PSP hasn't been so hot; then again, compared to the sun that is the DS, it's hard to compare. Dracula X Chronicles just might give it the helping hand it needs."

huh? where did you pull this crap from? let's use facts:

-PSP has more games out than DS right now (313 vs 295)
-The average rating of PSP games is 67.36 compared to the average rating of DS games which is 64.22.
-PSP has 50 titles that scored 80+, DS has 44 titles

*Source: Metacritic

So yah, the "Sun" that the DS has become is due to its cheapness and not its quality as you can see.

4] "After having played through 64 and Double Dash, I know that Mario Kart has something good going for it. After the success of Mario Kart DS, bringing it to Wii would be a logical next step, and if multiplayer's as hot as the DS version was, look out."

Mario Kart was fun for a while, meh, I love Double Dash, they should be making a sequel. But yah, if Mario Kart has the same awful online service as Strikers, then I ll just pass it.

2] "As I said before, I'm not a conventional fighting game fan. That said, I played through Classic, I smacked down Melee, and I'm frothing at the bit for Brawl. As they said, Nintendo's got so many franchises that they made a franchise out of beating up their franchises. And quite frankly, with the following Melee built up and the ability to go online, Brawl will undoubtedly rock the holiday season. And you call THIS last-gen? Your opinion as a gamer no longer counts."

blah, like I said, if the online service is as craptastic as Strikers, then yah, I rather pass this one too, me and my friends are all spread out, Melee was fun, friends would come over and have some SMB Melee, I can't do that anymore, and besides, Live has set the bar for online gaming and Sony is also supporting online this time around.

I find it funny how he goes on to say Crysis will cost $500 bucks, which is the same old lame ass moronic response every time the game is shown. Get over it already, and you can get a 8800 GTS card for less than $300 that should look amazing. To add gaming to an existing rig isn't as expensive as many people would believe.

But, what really gets me is that if someone would like to play Smash Brothers, or any of the console games, well it will cost someone $300 plus peripherals or if it's a PS3 game, $500 plus peripherals, or if it's a 360 game, $349 plus peripherals. But of course money is never brought up, people would almost assume console gaming is free. God I'm fuckin' sick of the double standard...

YES. People complain about having to fork out wads of cash for upgrades, but they don't realize that they upgrade their console every few years as well.

Plus, in the video's defense, you can get a decent card, yes, but can you see the pores on their skin? I don't want to play no game without pore-level graphics. Because then it's a terrible game, everybody knows that.

COD4 has some SERIOUS balance issues though, but thats something pretty easy to tweak for a final version.

No UT3?! come onnnnn I've been saving money all year to make sure my PC is ready for UT3 and Crysis (and i still dont have enough! haha!)

awesome video though

No good Contra games since 3?

*cough* SHATTERED SOLDIER *cough*

Okay, so the whole gritty grunge remake thing was a little annoying, but the game itself was still great.

I thought i was going to be letdown with Halo 3 due to all the hype. I played campaign co-op last night on legendary and some mulitplayer. I kid you not there has not been a a funner experience in gaming ever! The level design lets you play the game at many different fronts and angles, riding the many different vehicles in the game is damn fun, watching a plethora of enemies on one screen flying in and out of combat is amazing eye candy. The multiplayer matches are addicting as hell! I really really thought I was going to be letdown with this game but I am seriously having as much fun as I possibly have ever had with this game. If you you think its bunk, find someone who has it and play the damn thing. I promise you will find it really fun, the only thing I have against it is do not play it on multiscreen, they have some bizarre aspect ratio which kills the immersion factor for me.

I'm going to have to buy a 360 at some point, but it's definitely for mass effect, less halo 3. For now Zelda on the DS and UR MR GAY will do me fine.

I would totally buy a PSP for Castlevania... and Joan'd'arc, and the FFTactics rehash, and Disgaea. But seriously, I am betting plenty of people will flock to the PSP once Rondo of Blood is released.

I think, up to this point, part of what turns some people off from the PSP is that it is wierd and somewhat undesirable to be playing 3-d action games like GTA or something on a handheld (IMO). I want some 2D style platforming or some strategy RPGs...oh and sprites. I still
