Wow did I take a beating today on N4G or what? I wanted to apologize to all the True Gamers who DO post on N4G. I fell off the wagon yesterday. I’m done with fanboy wars for good now. If I slip up, let me know about it.

In my opinion true gamers could give a shit less about console wars.  If you love gaming why do you care about sales?  But I also understand that this is an unfortunate aspect of the gaming world today.  So as a gaming site it is our duty to cover it. Even though I do think we put too much emphasis on it at times.

This was the question that was asked of the audience last night that turned into a super heated debate between Erl Fly and Hiphopgamer. Erl, who’s played KZ2 extensively, says it’s like COD4 with some added features and better graphics but it’s not groundbreaking as far as FPS games goes. He also says that it’s a twitch game that doesn’t require much skill to get mp kills whereas a game like Halo 3 requires much more skill in multiplayer. Hiphopgamer disagrees and thinks that the games mentioned require the same amount of skill. This turned into almost a 30min argument and is hilarious! Also on the show:

- Hiphopgamer calls out Sarcastic Gamer on their bullshit
