thay cant play games with puzzles?

if i say my opinion on this i will be banned however :)

edit updated first line

if they cant play puzzle games, why did they enjoy portal?

 

fantastic puzzle game. honestly a breath of fresh air into a stagnant genre. I think we would like the puzzles in uncharted (i can only comment on the first one have not played the second yet) if it did not feel like a tacked on element to artificially lengthen the game. the puzzles in the first uncharted broke the game most of the time for me, or rather broke the immersion in the game.

 

though i feel its more of these two combined

More friends having PS3's in EU = more EU sales"

"played well the card of the online community which is an important asset to that demographic: I don't want to over-generalize and sound trenchant about frat-boys, but in most of Europe there's no such thing as the dorm community of American colleges."
