Sooo let's take a person without any experience on gaming and put him to play some games on XBOX360 and PS3, and to make it better one of the most famous american novelist of this time.

His opinions, Halo ODST

Describes playing Halo 3: ODST. The game seemed both desolate and repetitive, with incomprehensible Biblical and race-war undermeanings

Uncharted 2

"It's a visual glory hallelujah of a game." "The best time I had with Uncharted2 was while eating a sub-marine sandwich and watching the making of videos that came with the game disk, fantasizing about what it would be like to work for Naughty Dog as a late afternoon lighting designer or a stony ledge placement specialist"

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

Here’s what it’s about. It’s about killing and it’s about dying. Also it’s about collecting firearms. And it’s modern warfare, which means it’s set in places like Afghanistan.

Assassin's Creed 2

Assassin’s Creed II is set in Renaissance Florence and Venice. The game has moments of real loveliness. But mostly, it’s death, death, death—and fistfights, and the accumulation of wealth by acts of thuggery.

God of War 3

"This game isn't satire. It's a slasher movie over which you have control. it uses the Greek stories to trick you, or your parents, into tolerating a level of participatory gore that would be otherwise impossible in a mass-market entertainment". "GOW3 is a confused confection, and the brilliant, smiley, jokey designers who made it should hang their claws in shame for so misdirecting their obvious talents."

I know they're HD games but I still hate they way they bashed them.

I don't think it's bashing the games. It's interesting to know the opinion of people that aren't in the media.

i agree with him on everything he said.

Edit: i really do, all these games are exactly how he desribed them.

The guy is a clear videogame hater, and those games are critically aclaimed

a non-gamer who doesn't like games...how obvious

The guy's a Quaker. Of course he doesn't like violent games.

Point out to me where he is wrong in any of his observations.  Mostly he is just pointing out how the vast majority of games are aimed squarely at a single demographic.

Man, i dont agree with him, i may be even thinking it was a sort of joke :S

Those HD games are pretty good, sadly they are almost impossible to work on the Wii
