On this episode we touch upon why all console debates put heavy emphasis on graphics and not gameplay. Playstation 3 fanboys are consistently guilty of this. I play devils advocate and watch Hiphopgamer and Weapon X and some of our listeners argue gameplay of Halo 3 vs Resistance: FOM. Also on this show:

- Erl_Fly tells us why he likes Pure better than Motorstorm
- 360 beats PS3 for the month of September in Japan. Will it continue?
- Why is IGN(I Get paid for Noob game reviews) the default source to settle game debates?
- and much much more!

This show got pretty heated during the last 30 minutes.

It went on and on til the end of the show. Watch the Live Blog while you are listening to see some of the points our readers touched on. Also on the show:

On this episode we discuss the problems with the debate about which system is the most powerful. Everyone knows that the PS3 is the most powerful system. It’s newer hardware than both the 360 and the Wii and has tons of untapped power. Does that mean people will stop buying 360’s? Of course not. We take a look at last generation to prove our point. Also on the show:

- Why do we argue which system is better?
- What’s happening at TGS?
- Pure VS Motorstorm 2
- Pain: Amusement Park
- Does anyone who lives in the US care about Europe and Japan sales?
- Darkpower returns as the Fanboy Of The Week for claiming that you have to have a Wifi adapter and a memory card to enjoy the FULL Xbox 360 experience.

The madness has ensued today on the internet. The reviews are in and the major gaming sites and blogs are giving us the numbers on Too Human. It’s been getting fair ratings and Playstation fanboys are having a field day. It seems that there is a bitter taste left in their mouths from Xbox fanboys bashing Haze to death. The worst part of all of this madness is reading that people are now waiting for bargain bin copies of the game because of the review scores they are seeing. Read the rest of this entry »

This is my post E3 wrap up. I have so many things that I’m going to write about over the next few days and then it’s off to the Comic Con for more madness. I would like to start off by saying this years E3 is one of the best I’ve been to in years. The way it is set up has given us access to people we may have never SEEN at the larger Disneyland type shows. I can’t begin to list the people I shook hands with and talked to at the show. What I realized was that the video game industry is a microcosm of Hollywood. Everyone involved in the game industry is a celebrity in their own right. Whether you are a journalist, marketing person, developer or high level exec, you are considered a star among your peers.

As you know, we give out an award called Fanboy Of The Week. We give this award to delusional, ignorant and rabid individuals who bash systems they don’t own and praise the systems they do own like they are a god. A few weeks ago, a individual on N4G named Eagle 21 was named FBOTW. He didn’t take it very well and sent me a few private messages. In this discussion we had, I tried my best to see if maybe he wasn’t a fanboy. Maybe I could have been wrong in my judgement. So I threw a lot of questions at him and low and behold, he IS a fanboy just like I thought. Read the discussion for yourself and then post a comment telling me whether or not you think he wrongly awarded. Read the rest of this entry »
