I feel like I'm the only one in the world that could care less about trophy support. I have a twenty-something thousand gamerscore and I don't even care about those!

When the 360 first came out I felt the same way. They grew on me, so much so my gamer score is 20,000 plus. I feel that I get more out of a game, it offers new challenges and bragging rights, some games like Geometry Wars are great examples of this.
I don't think your the only one who doesn't care, most of my friends don't. I feel like a nerd for having such a high gamer score when my friends barely have 1,000 (mostly because they play just madden, GTA4, or Halo.)

I always wondered who cares about 'gamerscore' and 'achievements'. Now I know.
Makes zero sense to me. I play a game to play the game. Having some dumbass achievement popup on Xbox does nothing but pull me right out of the experience - wish I knew a way to shut the damn things off. But it doesn't matter since I never play the Xbox anyway, not since Dead Rising.

Hmmm they make a new one year after year...
Question, are they getting progressively better or worse? I've played a little of the first one but that's it, a friend loved the first two, but never picked up the rest of them... so I was wondering if they had just gotten worse or repetitive or something.

The ones later into the PS2 life cycle were good, but had moved a lot away from platforming and more into fps territory.
The PS3 R & C returned to the game's platforming-esque roots, hence the high amount of overjoyed fans when it was released.

One more question, which one should I pick up for the PS2 on the cheap?
I love both shooters and platformers, (OMGZWUTTHEYCAYNTMIX!) So any mix of them is good, but I do get bored easy so the faster paced ones would be better for me.

Sounds good, thanks guys. I also want to try Sly Cooper.
(My launch PS2 broke 2 weeks after warranty so I didn't get to play all the good games on it.)

Awesome. More reasons to justify the purchase of PS3.

Yeah, shameless milking! Like those hacks who wrote The Honeymooners or I Love Lucy or Cheers or MASH or Seinfeld! Milking the same damn premise for so many years!

To their credit, Insomniac isn't really milking, Sony is. Milking only really qualifies if there is a decline in quality, which there was a little in the latter days of the PS2 (but only because they seemed so determined to eliminate all traces of platforming), but since Future, it has come back in neat form
However, it is rather odd for there to be as many console R&C games in 9 years as there has been main franchise Mario games in 23

ahhhh I don't think they are milking it...its not like they are throwing out BAD games every year...if the quality is still there why stop?? Final Fantasy is milking it by that logic...

Actually to be honest Bass, Seinfeld definitely got weak in the last few seasons (when Larry David left).
So yeah that was definitely milking it.

Well, Nintendo gets incredible flak for releasing fewer installments in its franchises over 20 years, so 9 in six years would imply at least an equal amount of milking it.

Insomniac hasn't really failed to deliver yet, though i wish they would get control back from Activizzard over Spyro, that's the money platformer
Also: I returned from the Clone Wars movie, an early showing to beat the crowds. It really isn't as bad as i feared. There were some juvenile facepalm-inducing moments, but most of it stayed true to the star wars name
Though the story was a bit hard to follow for someone not intimately familiar with the scenario of Episode II, III, and the Tartakovsky Cartoon

Um, they have a 'spunky heroine' wearing a halter top and miniskirt, trading insulting witticisms with a slightly emasculated leading male character. No thanks, I get enough of that from NBC.

Those witticisms induced most of the facepalms
That, and them lugging Jabba's infant son around, which led to a good number of poop jokes
Like the other recent star wars movies, the dialogue and characterizations fail often enough, but the action is certainly worthy enough to compensate

I would never turn on my XBOX360 either if the last game I played was a smoking turd like Dead Rising. A statement like this completely discredits anything you said prior to this.
