BAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Hope not, but likely.

Anyway everybody.  I'm off to bed.  Feel free to debate the merits of my sig in my absense.

Of course if anyone wanted to actually answer the questions in my OP, which I was genuinely curious about, that'd be great too.

;) 

MGS4 will make starcraft change his sig. and quite possibly his avatar. and his religion.

I'm currently open to a new religion.  Travelling meaninglessly through life is getting boring.

Night All. 

Starcraft have you ever played metal gear solid?

I think we all know the magic word here...

Aynway, it's pretty safe to say that MGS4 will have an average score of over 90. GT5:P and Haze both have a chance, but not a very good one. The first is probably going to lose a few points for being well... a demo for a game that's coming out next year, and the latter looks like a pretty unremarkable, generic shooter. I could be wrong, though.

Hootie?

OT: As a PC gamer that has little interest in the stealth genre and doesn't (yet) own a PS3, I can safely assure you that MGS4 is GUARANTEED 90%+.

Even if it turns out to be shit (which is unlikely), most reviewers wouldn't have the balls to give it anything less than 90. MGS fans (which includes most reviewers) would be up in arms. Sites would be blacklisted for that kind of thing.

Without wanting to sound too much like a fanboy, MGS4 will almost certainly shit on the likes of Gears & Halo 3 from a great height. If it makes you feel any better, it will probably be on the 360 (with gimped audio) 12 months after the PS3 version. Of course, by that time you will already have succumbed to the darkside and be giving all your love to the black behemoth instead of that "other" console.

Don't fight it.

to be honest i dont even care about your sig if you have Xbox games that are also on PC............ IF you dont then yes you will havr to change your sig about 3 times this year for the ps3.

The thing is, MGS4 is much more than just another release for just another franchise. I spend lots of time tracking the world media culture (it's both hobby and job), and I've never seen anything like the cultural tremors I'm getting from MGS4. The energy-readings are off the charts.

Kojima's team has created truly something special. On June 12th, we're going to witness the birth of a whole new era of gaming.

 Maybe you should consider using the more useful and accurate site? They're owned by the same people, amusingly enough - the differnce being that Gamerankings is actually geared towards games while Metacritic was originally designed for movies before branching out to other media. Or maybe you shouldn't use your own arbitrary definition of AAA? Anyone who doesn't admit that games like Ratchet and Clank Future as well as Uncharted: Drake's Fortune are AAA titles is just an asshat fanboy.

I wish more people were console agnostic.
