Alien vs Predator on the Jaguar is one of the worst games I've ever played. Was it technically impressive for the system? Yes, but it still was god-awful to play. To the poster above, Kasumi Ninja is THE worst game I've ever played. I used to play Brutal Sports Football on mine quite a lot until a fly flew into the cartridge slot (incredible design flaw, having no flap), and it never worked again. Brilliant.
Having both consoles, I'll pick the 360 every time for online gaming, and that's ignoring how nasty the PS3 controller is (which is difficult as it's just as terrible now as it was in 1995). Live is simply a better service, the whole thing is more intuitive to use, and a lot more common sense has gone into it's contruction. People that say live is a waste of money, through Live I've been able to try demos, that have convinced me NOT to buy a game, given that this happens a few times a year, and that otherwise I would have bought, Live actually saves me money.
However on PSN, loads of games don't have demos, and many download-only games don't have demos either, which is stupid.
I think that really making reference to Rally-X as a rally game is a bit spurious. Sega Rally, however, is still the best racing game ever made. Just is.
Woah I hadn't a clue that they'd sold 50 million PSPs. Honestly thought it was far fewer than that, all I know is it was 22 million around this time 2 years ago.
Very rarely will I buy a game without playing a demo. Rare exceptions would be games like gears of war. However usually I refuse to risk the money on a game that I won't like. The one bad game in my collection was a result of not reading enough about it, and not playing it first. That game was Flatout 2 for 360. Similarly it's why I have an R4, I'm perfectly willing to pay for a game if it's worth it, but seeing as I know of no way to demo ds games without one, I won't stop using it, there's just too much crap out there.
Relic breakoff Smoking Gun Interactive explains its ambitious graphic novel and ARG project, all built to serve its still to be revealed new console IP.
If games and movies don't develop some mutual respect, all we can expect are films that are really bad action games and games that are really bad films, says Steven Poole.
