You're wrong about censorship. It's going back to the old standard if it's not their already. A lot of people have gotten used watching HBO, FX, and AMC shows. The non cursing in shows on network TV and the censorship of movies feels wrong and weird now.

I think even the most irrational x-bots have to say Sony. This year alone Sony is bringing 5 AAA games to market. As for Nintendo... in fairness they haven't been the biggest producer of games on any of their systems since the SNES but this generation the lack of games was even more apparent because of the crap third parties were putting on it.

Greg's reviews are pretty good. Anyway this game is probably this years Borderlands. A game that's got some obvious rough patches but is ultimately a great experience anyway.

No. The franchise hasn't gotten better since cod4. I don't see this one improving on 4.

@JEC03: Play games on your pile of shame. Still got a couple more to go through.

@babblinmule: I'm very late to the party on the Mass Effect franchise but after playing 50+ hours of ME2 I won't be watching one trailer for ME3. I don't even want to read anything on the game. I want to come in as cold as possible on that game.

@Vito_Raliffe: Yea. So many people were a little upset that they watched all the trailers for Portal 2. I watched them after I finished and I can see how that would spoil the game for them.

Since about mid summer last year I've started to avoid all videos and trailers for games I'm interested in. For example, I haven't watched one second of Battlefield 3 footage nor have I watched any of the  Bioshock infinite footage. Same goes for Uncharted 3 and Skyrim. Anybody else now doing a media blackout for games they already know they're going to buy?
Could you explain why you do this? I mean you'll be completely ignorant as to how the game plays or what's going on in it if you just buy it day 1 without ever watching or reading anything about it  You mentioned Battlefield 3. How are you going to do good online when everyone around you knows what an EOD bot is or how the destruction works, while you don't?
I read about all games I'm interested in but for games with pedigree like Skyrim and Battlefield I don't see the need to read and watch everything about them. I've played most of the franchises previous releases so unless they do a 180, like Dragon Age 2 or Red Faction Armageddon, I'll still be able to excel at the game.

How do you know if you like the game? Do you read previews and reviews?

For games like Uncharted 3 and Skyrim, which have pedigree, I trust that the game will deliver so I see know reason to watch any of the trailers or gameplay videos. I'm already sold. For less known games like Deus Ex and some DLC games I will probably get as much info on it as possible.
