LOL, the writer said "niggling". That's how you know this isn't an American review... no way in hell someone could get away with putting that in print here in the US!

..... I'm pretty sure you don't know what the word niggling means. If you couldn't put it in print in the US it would truly be a sad day for the American education system.

I know what the word means... the point is you wouldn't be able to use it in a major US media publication without some serious backlash because you cannot use anywords that start with "nig", no matter what the definition or context is, less they be deemed as offensive by a certain minority group here.

Try using the word or something like it such as "niggardly" in a major published article in the US, and see what happens.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/119/1199032p1.html and http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/119/1191995p1.html Just so you know the Uk at the start is only because it changes for your location. The review is written by the US team as noted at the top of the article. Don't see any comments at all about his use of the word niggling. Seriously you have taken being politcally correct to a point beyond extreme. I believe IGN is one of, if not the biggest, gaming sites on the net. Sure there are plenty more but I simply typed in ign review niggling and got those instantly. The word pre-dates the offensive use of similar words by quite some bit. 

Oh also ''you cannot use ANYwords that start with 'nig''' (my emphsis not yours). So the country of Nigeria is simply referred to as xxxeria in america? Seems strange but hey if you say so. 

Although your over reaction does remind me of a quite funny joke from the sitcom Spin City. Where one of the characters changed all the computers so instead of Black it auto-corrected to African American. They then sent out invites for people to come to an event that was ''Dress Code: African American Tie'' 


Turkish says and I'm allowed to quote that: Uncharted 3 and God Of War 3 look better than Unreal Engine 4 games will or the tech demo does. Also the Naughty Dog PS3 ENGINE PLAYS better than the UE4 ENGINE.

BWHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAA!!!!  That's awesome.  The number of problems that could come from that is fantastic.  Fired employees getting African Americanlisted.  Profits goals being getting back in the african american.  Thinking your computer is off because the screen was African American.  Oh man, it could just go on and on.

"Not in terms of volume -- you'll never see it get within spitting distance of the iPod touch's library, which is tens of thousands of games strong."

Uncharted Golden Abyss says: Quality > Quantity


Assuming that tens of thousands of games are all shovelware.

If JUST 1% of those games are amazing, that means at least 100 great games.

100 > 1. Quantity and quality over just quality. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Surprised that they called it bulky. First I've heard of it being uncomfortable in any way.



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
