Once games on PS3 start looking increasingly better than the 360 you'll change your mind.

It's in his profile. I won't link to it because I don't want to increase his traffic. I've been there, and his reviews leave lots to be desired.

I absolutely love your jealous rants. If my reviews were so horrible, I guess folks (devs, PR firms, publishers) would quit sending me games for review. Do PR firms, publishers and devs send you games to review? I'd love to read your reviews. Ha ha ha ... you phail, hater ...


LOL.  Looks like I struck a nerve...

I don't review games for a living.  I'm a student at college.  Why would PR fimrs, publishers, and devs send me games?  They don't know who I am.  I know why Eidos sent you Kane and Lynch though, cause you gave that piece of shit game an eight out of ten.  When we all know the game doesn't even deserve that.  And I'm sure with all the bad you spew on the PS3, Microsoft must be lining up at your door with review copies of their games, you can't buy that kind of negative news about your competitor. 

I love seeing you break down.  It makes me happy.  I'm not a hater also, I have an XBOX 360, but I'm no fanboy.  You my friend are clearly delusional.  And your site sucks.  It's a frickin blog.  You review games on a blog.  And to this is the first day I've ever even seen or heard of your blog.  What's your daily traffic?  Are you even ranked by alexa?  lol.

Not cool DMeisterJ, sure his bias is showing but that doesnt give you the right to personal insults.
I mean c'mon insulting someone's job? thats low.

How ironic. I don't think DM was wrong here. He was "reviewing" Madskillz job... which is what he does for a job...

I feel the same way that Sony is responsible for Sega not being in the console business anymore,and look what they did to Lik Sang. I cannot say that I will never own the PS3,but I know that I will never buy one.
I have a PS2 only because it was given to me.

The investment needed for HD at the moment for myself is too high,so I am going to wait for awhile.I am still buying and enjoying games for my other systems NES,N-64,Dreamcast,PS2,GCN and GBA-SP way too much to invest in another one.

you cant 'blame' sony for sega's demise, its a competitive market and if you cant compete, you are out which is exactly what happened. Sega spent their early years trying to destroy Nintendo's dominance of the market, maybe we would all have a different view of them has they succeeded.
Sony's inhouse game production is on a different level to the majority of the rubbish sega produce now anyway.

Blu-ray players will become cheaper than a PS3 in time. If you really don't want a PS3 I would just wait for that to happen. Using a controller as a remote is awkward anyways.

This next part is perhaps unnecessary but I feel I must say it. I can't help but laugh at all the fanboys coming out and telling you that suddenly you will love all the games coming out for the PS3. I have to assume that if you are posting on a gaming website that you are well informed as to what is on the horizon and know whether or not they are for you. Every console has its unique strengths and weaknesses when it comes to software line-ups. Why this happens and whether it can be prevented I am not sure, but I have always noticed that consoles seem to suffer in at least a couple genres. The absurd notion that eventually there will be enough PS3 (or Wii or 360) games that anyone could justify the purchase really is amusing to me.

I review tons of video games, and needed to included PS3 games. I picked up one just for that. I have a PS2 and I wanted full BC. That's why I bought it. To this day, I've had the PS3 for about a month and haven't played a single game except for a game I am reviewing for Sony, Sky Jumper? That's it. I have 11 PS3 titles and haven't played any of them.

After reading your post, why not wait a while before buying a PS3? Borrow one from your friend, or go to their house and play it. I wouldn't have bought one if I didn't review games. I need a real reason to buy it. I could care less about Blu Ray - both HD formats are overrated - and honestly, the PS3 is rather overpriced.

You said you have a 360, right? I'd stick with that instead of paying $500 plus for the console and end up with buyer's remorse. I need to have at least 5 compelling reasons to buy a console. Sadly, the PS3 doesn't have 5 reasons for me to pick one up - but I did to review games.

Can we have some links to your reviews please?

 

Review copies are normally sent out by publishers, I used to get a load running a gaming society. They spit em out like candy, which is why you still get them even if you haven't reviewed them.

People who buy the PS3 for the Blu-Ray are only hurting Sony. In the long run, the games will continue to sell worse than on the Xbox360 and developers may then continue abandoning the system. "Sure, people are sorta buying the PS3, but no one's buying games on it." It was the same situation as the GameCube, but instead of movies, it was first party games killing the sales of third party wares.


Of course, then, the third party companies were also at fault for putting little more than half-assed ports to the GameCube months after the fact they were released on competing systems. Talk about setting yourself up for failure.

How exactly you review those PS3 games without playing them ?

Or are you that Fox News Pannelist that did the mass effect review lol ?



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Madskillz is fastly turning into a screaming fanboy .So he has 13 games and havent played anyone .

I have two thought about this :

1)Madskillz .When you buy a game you must play it until you get another .Dont know if you dont pay for them being (supposedly ) a reviewer but thats the way it works with players .Buy one game ,beat it or get bored about it ,then get another .Getting game after game until 13 and not playing a single one is a bit stupid on your part .

2)I am pretty sure some of those 13 games are as well on the 360 and if you had those there you would play them to death and then advice the people to buy the 360 to play those as part of the "360 bigger than life lineup " .

3)You should let us where do you write your reviews .I mean ,we have to know where someone as biased as you writes you know ...to avoid reading you dont know if you understand what I mean .


As for the OP he just has it wrong ....PS3 software sales are not only getting better but as long as ratio goes they are besting 360 "the hardcore machine by excelency " sales .

It's in his profile. I won't link to it because I don't want to increase his traffic. I've been there, and his reviews leave lots to be desired.


I absolutely love your jealous rants. If my reviews were so horrible, I guess folks (devs, PR firms, publishers) would quit sending me games for review. Do PR firms, publishers and devs send you games to review? I'd love to read your reviews. Ha ha ha ... you phail, hater ...


 if at any time you dont want those gaes i will glad let you give them to me....i know its a sacrifice on my part but ...i like ya guy
