Hey Capt Loser Troll.
If you are going to spam all of usenet with an article that was originally
posted to the proper group ( alt.games.video.sony-playstation3 ) at least
post the original message with the link that was provided dumbass.

Heavenly Sword was indeed great.  Solid gameplay, amazing
presentation, good story.  The game was extremely polished with no
glaring bugs or graphical glitches.   The fact that it did not sell
millions does not effect the quality of the title.

Wow!  2 more players in multiplayer and graphics that will "at least match
and probably exceed" the 360 version!  I really don;t know how I will
survive such a humiliating defeat for the 360.

Hallelujah!

I've had a few debates now about how the sales of a title has nothing
to do with the quality.

On the flipside, the fact that it got rated only in the 80s does
reflect the quality of the title.

To back up what I said:

"The PlayStation 3 has a lot of power. When we started Uncharted we were
really ambitious and had no idea what the PS3 would give us. Once we got
the first devkits, we realized quickly that we could do everything we
had planned to. The three main points for me are the Cell, Blu-Ray and
the hard drive. We've been using the Cell for pretty much all our
systems: rendering, particles, physics simulation, collision detection,
animation, AI, decompression, water simulation, etc ... and to give you an
idea of the power of the PS3, we're using only 30 percent of the Cell
processor"

OMG, you're kidding me, right?  So, some guys claiming something on
the internet becomes a fact?  This is pathetic.

And look at when this thread was started, just a couple of days ago.
Wow, how convenient.  And this guy's not even talking about how he
hasn't even played the full retail version of PES 2008 and how he
prefers FIFA08 over it.  Just like you.

So, I assume you're milkweg then?  LOL.

Oh, and how does this prove that you have both NHL08 & NHL2K8 and not
just the demos?

The second you started backtracking and changing your stories made you
become a lame retard.

My original thread dealt with the differences between PES 2008 on the
360 and the PS3.

You, OTOH, lied that you played both FIFA08 and the PES 2008, then
turns out you only played the demo for PES 2008.  Then you claimed
ownership of football just because you're English, then you claimed
ownership on hockey all of a sudden just because you lived in Canada.

Then you kept on bringing in completely irrelevant issues like NHL08 &
NHL2K8.  Keep going, let's see where you take this to.  Probably about
how Resistance is a better game than GoW.  LOL.

What a fucking retard.  All those numbers don't mean shit, you stupid

So if you bought the soundtrack (which I didn't) you can go input a

Anyone know if the songs can be purchased as well?  If so, how much do
they cost?

I wonder if they meant worldwide, but that would even be a stretch itself.
If you go just by MN's numbers, those are all just US figures.

The Xbox 360 is in the lead, but the Wii is almost caught up despite
the Xbox 360's year-plus headstart.

Pimp My Ride for a 10-year-old? LOL

I'd say Kameo, Viva Pinata (not Party Animals, the original), TMNT,
The Simpsons Game (if he likes The Simpsons), Lego Star Wars...can't
think of any others right now off the top of my head...

Viva Pinata (my 9 year old loved it)
PGR (Project Gotham Racing) 3
Transformers: The Game
Burnout: Revenge
Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation
Guitar Hero (II or III, III just came out and will probably make him
very happy)
-or-
Rock Band (this will be coming out later, go to a gamestop and you can
preorder it)

I would also suggest XBox Live Arcade point cards. These are
essentially gift cards he can use to purchase games on-line that will
auto-download into his new XBox, this is a service he will probably
want to check out right away....

I'm just pointing out that saying 'shattered every sales record known
to man' is hyperbole.

I can't imagine why you would think that.

We are talking about sales records. WoW barely made a blip it's first
month. BC set PC sales records and is the fastest selling PC game of
all time. You can't say that WoW is a bigger hit than it's expansion
because you have to buy WoW for BC to be any use.

I know, I'm just making a generalization... I was never really into
online competitive modes because for many games people just cheat or
just fling insults at each other that are annoying to listen to.

I like coop modes myself.

As far as I have seen on both systems, TF2 has no cheating (apart from
the heavy running while firing gun bug which was fixed) and the crowds
tend to be mostly mature. Most people are smart enough to take hits
for the team (like you wouldn't see a full team of snipers, because
they would get rolled by a spy) and play useful classes like heavy and
medic because it's fun. Muting spamming idiots is a rare occasion but
they made it very simple.

I would give TOB a shot, at the very least for Portal.

No clue... not a fan of David Lynch movies myself...

The big problem I've heard on the PS3 side is note lag, but I don't
know if it's a genuine problem with that version or if the people
having it just never went into the calibration screen and fixed the
HDTV lag.

Hmm... could have sworn that the GameCube's graphics weren't as good
and didn't have those funky Wiimotes.
