Fable 1 I spend 10 mins and give up, and I seriously dont know what the hype is all about on fable 2. fable 1 was average at best.

 since you only spent 10 min. on the game,and even gave up trying,  I dont think that makes you an expert as to why the game is popular or not.

the campaign was crap. All the reviewers were paid to give it a 9.5+ that I know for certain.

KZ2 is different you cannot compare the first killzone and the 2nd. The first was boring piece of crap, the 2nd is not boring but interesting.


In the fanboy races Leo J is coming down the left, yes he passes Soriku, LEO J WINS BY A LENGTH!

Ye gods, all the reviewers payed to give it a 9.5+? Why cant you just handle that its a good game with extremely good online. 

As for the hype, many games are very hyped. Some turn out good some turn out average some turn out rubbish.

 Halo 3 was hyped and turned out well, SMG was hyped and turned out well, Fable was hyped and turned out average, Lair was hyped and turned out bad. Hype always occurs for huge budget games and doesn't indicate quality. KZ2 has a good chance of being a very good FPS but personally I will wait and see for some previews.

go to wiki and read about KZ2 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killzone_2 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrilla_Games and if you STILL won`t understand WHY, then you are just blind fanboy or just inattentive, careless, thoughtless, unobliging.

 Personally, Halo 3 didn't turn out well, it was average. It had more hype than any game I can remember in recent history, and just didn't deliver for me. Other FPS games such as COD4 have since come out and are, to me, far superior.

halo 3 was all brand and no substance if you get my analogy.

 Ahh what was I meant to see in there?

The second one especially I saw nothing interesting in.

The only article of any substance in either of those pages was the "graphical expectations" and it was less than impressive to say the least. The gist of it seems to be that there is no information other than the game will run at 720p, and 30 frames per second. The biggest part of this games hype is graphics, and it can't even run at 60fps. That is just sad. When there are demos to be played, I will consider changing my tune. Untill then, I expect it to suck like the first one.

I dont think Sony should focus on FPS games to be a killer app. I dont even know why they are focusing so much on it now because thats not what made them so popular in the first place. The X360 is home to most FPS fans. They should prioritize on Jrpg's, fighting games, and other japanese studio games that made them so popular in the first place. Where are all the great anime games they used to have?

I highly advise to look to both the PS3 and 360 top seller pages.

Being that Halo 3 and Resistance are the top sellers for both of their respective systems might tell ya something.
Maybe.
