I thought it was good.  It seems like a lot better game for consoles then the original was and it seemed like the toned downed the difficulty since the original was pretty hard compared to other shooters.  I did like the animations though.  Like when you shoot someone they actually look like they're being shot instead of just falling to the ground.  Still I wouldn't say 2009 GOTY material but I think its going to be a solid shooter.

It's WAW was exactly like 4.  3, 2, and 1 were copies of each other, which were copies of MOH.

Just do something different infiinity ward."

One difference though, MOH has always sucked, and COD never has."

RE5.  Renting a bunch of games before that though.

Philadelphia should be higher then NY on the fattest list.  Yeah people in NY aren't healthy but they aren't fat.  There are some fat people in philly though. 

Glad the city I go to college in made the fittest list though (Pittsburgh, PA).  After look at some of the descriptions on the link.  It really didn't say the cities were fat or anything it just based it off on how much people excercise and how many fast food restaurants there were.  So I'm calling BS.  I mean I'm close to being underweight and I'm out of shape.  Just because someone doesn't excercise doesn't mean they're fat.

"It shows you the direction the industry is starting to shift, less AAA games and more cheap games."

Really? Are there fewer great games on the PS3 and 360? Is the PS3 and 360 being flooded with cheap games? Are there a bunch of cheap games on the horizon for either the PS3 or 360?

Even if there's been a dip in the number of AAA games being released (which I'm doubting), it'd be due to the development time and resources required to produce one. Better graphics, better AI, better physics, bigger worlds, and all the other improvements that can be implemented due to better hardware don't come for free. It makes sense that the length of time it takes to produce a great game is only going to increase. However as the cash flow into the games industry increases, there should be more developers (or development teams) making games. So, we shouldn't see a dip in the number of quality games and may see an increase.

Nintendo isn't taking money away from the "hardcore" developers. Instead, the majority of revenue is from an untapped resource which brings more money to the gaming industry. The only real change is which console is being inundated with shovelware.  Last generation the PS2 had a large volume of shovelware, but the PS2 doesn't have the negative stigma (from "hardcore" gamers) that the Wii does so we heard very little about it.

It's "cool" to hate the Wii. So, objectivity is thrown out the window in order to conform with the masses. You don't have to like the Wii, the games on the system may not be appealing to you. But, statements like how the Wii is destroying the gaming industry are mass hysteria brought on by fanboy propaganda combined with many gamers' refusal/inability to reason."

I'm going with A.  Since thats exactly what they did.  Screw the hardcores.  E3 proved this and with Nintendo saying Animal Crossing is hardcore.

Yes.  Reese's Puffs FTW!

The most underrated console is Dreamcast.

As far as the Wii goes.  Its not underrated.  The library is absolutely horrible and a joke compared to the 360's and PS3's library.  Yeah there is some Nintendo first-party games and some third-party games were playing but library wise its basically Gamecube 2.0 with shovelware.

The last time I invested a large part of my time to playing to Wii.  Had to be back in March when SSBB came out.  That was the last quality game IMO that came out.  Wario Land was so-so and Animal Crossing City Folk is pretty much just a rehash of the DS game.  Thats the problem.  Its the library.  If it wasn't for some of Nintendo's old franchises like Mario, Zelda, etc I would have sold it a long time ago.

Valve is great.  My only problem is when Newell starts coming out spitting some elitist PC nonsense that no one cares about. 

Final Fantasy and most JRPGs end when you beat the main quest =P.  The only thing I didn't like about the ending was the story part of it not gameplay, because unlike some people *cough* I researched and knew before hand the game would end.  Even so story wise I wasn't really surprised.  Bethesda isn't really known for stories, thats more of BioWare's and Square-Enix's forte.
