You guys really need to get a weekend editor, especially for those of us that work weekends.
And speaking on the reviews and impressions, the 360 looks as lackluster as always. The only worthwhile game seems to be Viva Pinata 2. Which in itself was rather halfbaked.

Are you nuts, or just a MS Hater?
NG2, Banjo Kazooie, and Too Human are all GREAT titles.

Ninja Gaiden: base titillation.
Banjo Kazooie: made by Rare, enough said.
Too Human: Silicon Knights make one overrated game and suddenly they're God's gift to vidya. It used to be that companies would work hard to earn a reputation, but now it seems that enough loud hype is sufficient enough.
Of all the games displayed, only MGS looks interesting, but I am having second thoughts about buying it first day - if I can obtain the funds, that is.

Doesn't look very next-gen, if graphics are now the barometer of what a "next-gen" title is.

You really do like to whinge about everything. I don't get the use of the word 'base' all the time... does it make you feel a bit better than everyone else?

I love you to, Benny.

That MGS4/RE screen is manipulated to make it look bad. Now that is sad.

Silicon Knights made Eternal Darkness, generally regarded as a singularly unique title.
What's your problem with 'base titillation'? I'm sure you enjoy your porn.

Doesn't Joystiq have a lot of 'summary' posts.
