As soon as new software starts rolling in then we can start discussing how good/bad a game is.

But there's a slight drought going on, at times like these we talk sales and speculate.

(This is a sales site after all.)

Huh? Sim City and Tomb Raider just launched. Crysis 3 and Dead Space 3 launched last month. Gears of War Judgement and God of War Ascension are coming out in the next few weeks. In what way is that a drought?

Because those arte all multiplat. 

We'll soon start seeing threads about GoW and how the metascore was wrong and whatnot.

And that really is the problem.  Nobody has made a legit Tomb Raider impressions thread (I'm getting it today).  --Just a couple of threads about the graphics on PC from CGi and Twesterm bitching about how much he sucks as a gamer.  If it were an exclusive, we'd be hearing about it all of the time.  The thing is, there's so much gaming content in such a small period of time that even I, the mighty d21lewis, can't hope to keep up with it all.  God of War, Gears of War, Luigi's Mansion, DMC, Tomb Raider, Anarchy Reigns, Metal Gear Rising, etc., etc., etc--but it seems that the biggest focus is still doom and gloom and console comparisons (not sales--meta scores, graphics, etc.).

 

The good stuff is out there but those threads seem like they get buried sometimes.
