I would call Demon's Souls more innovative then weird. It's totally different then anything out there. Props to From software for doing something new and awesome. Innovation for innovation's sake may not be great but the game is awesome so it's great.

I am actually pretty sure that was the least harsh thing ever said on the interwebs. Either way, I was playing Dragon Age instead of Demon's Souls. But I really will never play that game. I do not have the time nor patience.

I was more into the idea of Dragon Age and skipped a few other games to play it. Nothing about Demon's Souls compels me in any way. I will give it a go eventually though as I have a gamefly account.

LOL? MW2 best competitive multi-player game? Well yeah, if you like games where all you have to do is camp to rack up a ridiculous kill-streak...I appreciate all the features it has, but the core gameplay of MW2 is just not very well-crafted

double facepalm,  U knock one aspect of the game and not even a very good knock since its easy to kill campers,  and then u dont even give a better game for that catagory.  I found the core gameplay very good, diverse maps, good frame rate, good controls, 3 options for gameplay provides lots of hours of gaming(spec ops, campain, multiplayer,)  Overall there really wasnt any other game to compete with it.  Oh yea and it had 4.2 million in sales topping the list of best selling game of 09'

I totally agree, but plz refrain from using the sales argument, its hardly always true that the best games also sells well.

I do agree that sales =/= best games, but in the case of competitive multi-player, sales = more people playing.  Which in turns makes for a better online experience in the sense that you pretty much always get into a match within seconds no matter what day of the week or time of day.
