The reason why the Japanese boxart for Uncharted 2 looks like that is because the game isn't really famous there, so they made the decision to make the name very big and obvious with all the characters on it.
The few that are actually designed to run at a native 1080p resolution do appear a bit sharper than a 720p game. But it's nothing to delve over.
You have to take the resolution you find on the box with a grain of salt, though. Whatever the TV switches to is the resolution the game was designed for. Some devs like to cheat by saying the game will upscale to 1080p, but was never actually designed with 1080p graphics.
It's like computer monitors, looking at the refresh rate: 2ms G2G means it takes 2ms to switch from a grey color to another grey color, and not from white to black (which is what should be tested)... which actually comes out to being 16ms refresh rate.
Same thing with dynamic contrast... it's just luring tactics at this point.
Console games these days seem to appear pretty danm good, 720p or 1080p.
Relating to World of Warcraft, receiving a Legendary item would be the rarest obtainable item. I'm sure that goes for a few other games, but I'm not too sure.
You'll find that, when you complete the game and go back through the second time, you'll be purposely passing a lot of chests simply because you don't have the mechanics to get to them. The game does a good job of getting you to play through all the levels a second time around just for the collectables.
We don't like trolls on Giantbomb. I can see you are new, but trolling is a big no-no. You realize that my post and that guy's post are completely opposite, right? "
I'm not really new to GiantBomb, just small post count. :) And I edited my post before I refreshed this page because I realized I wasn't contributing anything.
But to answer your particular question, I'll be passing on this game for a long time considering GoWIII is just around the corner. Even though Dante's Inferno has an interesting background and story, there's only so much of these kinds of games that I can shovel money out for. If I were Mr. MoneyHats and had all the time in the world, then sure.
The information is obsolete the second they type it in Adobe InDesign on their end, but that's rather obvious. It always seemed like I was reading information the second time for no real good reason.
If you want something to read while in the bathroom, I guess it won't hurt to try it out for a little while. Maybe just pick up a single issue off the stands and give it a whirl. Personally, I'll be no longer buying them.
