@TwoOneFive: You probably meant to post that on the GameSpot forums. I don't see anyone here talking about graphics (in fact, I agree with you: it's not a bad looking game).
There's no MUTE PLAYER functionality in SOCOM, either. That's a huge pain in the ass when someone is being a douche or this buggy fucking game decides not to disable voice after the person has released the Push-to-Talk button.Not to mention, SOCOM has crashed my PS3 more than once and stutters mid-game frequently.Also, 1UP's review is totally dead on. Cheers to ReTarDedFisHy for directing my attention thusly.
My Gamestop must be like a shimmering diamond in a sea of dog shit. The employees there are fantastic. Yes, they ask you for pre-orders but they don't force or degrade your if you choose not to. They know their shit, too, which to a gaming news blog addict like myself, simply means I don't have to speak to idiots when I go in to pick up my latest fix. ...
The Wii should have been the death of Nintendo, or at the very least, their living-room-console efforts. They were simply extremely clever with it's marketing efforts and targeting an audience of impulse-purchasing "family people."Only time will tell if their shift of target demographic and marketing strategies will keep them going. If this was GameCube 2, they'd already be dead.
I've got a console that red rings 1 out of every 20 times it boots up. It never crashes mid-game. I haven't called it in because, honestly, 1 out of 20? I feel lucky.Though I'm really pissed about not having HDMI and want to call them and bitch about my 3rd RROD console and beg for an HDMI replacement.
