Not really. http://www.lensoftruth.com/head2head-castlevania-lords-of-shadow/ 27.27 fps on PS3; 26.85 fps on 360. Functionally identical.

Yes. Microsoft, the people who sell a version of their console that has so little memory, it can't play one of their own first party games, is laughing. Right. Actually, the PS3 at that point was still $599. But I think you're right that the price of the Wii *in comparison to other consoles*...

Maybe not as much as one would think -- Bayonetta under-performed on the PS3/360, so it's pretty smart of Platinum to hitch their horse to a different wagon, particularly one where it'll be perceived as a much bigger game, rather than "some Japanese bullshit that isn't God of War." If I were...

History. LOL. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-person_shooter "The genre coalesced with 1992's Wolfenstein 3D, which is generally credited with creating the genre proper and the basic archetype upon which subsequent titles were based."

Honestly, this time of year, so many people have the same problem, you have a good chance of swapping it for something you want right here, in the trade forum. (Same problem: extra sealed copy of Revelations, no way to get a receipt without eating crow.)

Bears repeating. It's weird that people are proud of buying into marketing so wholeheartedly.

Yeah? Obviously you can still hip fire and get kills (I think I just unlocked a laser sight for the SV98 -- WTF?), but the snap-to auto-aim in BF3 doesn't seem as strong as it does in CoD, which is what makes real "no-scoping" possible. I may just be an outlier, but I can honestly say I've yet...

What's weird is that I've been camped significantly less in BF3 (so far) than in Black Ops. Basically, the giant maps mean that if you just sit in a random cranny, NOBODY is going to run past you, so you have to position yourself in a pretty easily scanned area around a flag (in Conquest). I...

... and still the best damn person on the site. To be fair, a lot of Nintendo's "fanbase" is out of touch with everything except the microcosm of internet nerd-rage, but nothing either group does really has any effect on the other, so life goes on. Don't underestimate the importance of...

Durandal, after the AI from Marathon.

The trailer *does* look better than the first, but I'm not sure why everyone's excited for the Crank guys doing it -- they're largely responsible for that abortion of a Jonah Hex movie.

I appreciate your commitment to accuracy, but I'm secretly a little disappointed that the thread title isn't "Hey guys! Looook up here!"

Okay. Is he?

Also, Netflix is awesome. In fact, I think I'm gonna go grab a coffee and finish watching "Black Death" on my 3DS in Starbucks right now...

It's because the screen is bigger and higher res, older games look off. But you can boot the 3DS in the original aspect ratio by holding start and select when you select the game. I've been clearing out my DS backlog in between 3DS games, and it's a non-problem. And no, downloads can be...

The older hardware is the cheaper one; the newer hardware is usually more expensive. So if you're waiting for a redesign AND a price drop, you're not gonna get both on the same unit. Also, later iterations of hardware aren't always better. I'm looking at you, PSP (1000, 2000, 3000) --> PSP Go...

Doubtful. The sales numbers as of March were still 3.6 mil, which is only low compared to the 4 mil that was expected. If your game is only going to be profitable if the install base is 400k higher, you have some serious budget problems. I totally agree. I've actually been expecting the price...

Did they? I ask this seriously. It's not like they _ever_ said the games were coming to the US; they were obviously announced for Japan, and ... that's it. Gaming outlets covered them _assuming_ they were coming, but no, I can't say I recall NoA ever saying, "Hey! Check out this awesome game!"...

Bought. Went with both DX and Dead Island (even though I'm a bit skeptical about that one), since $95 shipped for the pair is pretty frikkin' solid. I looked at the Augmented Edition for DX and the Gamestop exclusive content for Dead Island, and wasn't interested in either, so this was great...

The animated Green Lantern from a couple years ago (not Emerald Knights) did this well: it was basically "Training Day" in space, with Sinestro as Denzel to Hal's Ethan Hawke.
