One of their rumors says GoW3 will be in 2010 (I wouldn't be surprised personally), and another one says that Rockstar's exclusive PS3 game is Max Payne 3.

Didn't they say the exclusive game was a new IP?

nope thats incorrect, sony and rockstar signed a deal for a brand new franchise exclusive 2 ps3, rockstar said they ant to make a franchise that u can only do on ps3. i think it will be a winner

...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

i remember when EGM used to be good.it was thick,had lots of content.now its so small and half of the magazine is ads.

Ever heard of a thing called the internet? It pretty much killed print. And EGM is still doing a great job considering. Did you see last issue with SC4 on the cover? It had like 10 interviews with some of Japan's top developers.

Guitar Hero: Beatles...I hope that comes out soon. That would easily convince me to join the millions of others who enjoy the series, and it would be worth the money. I really hope Activision comes out with that *crosses fingers*.

Okay - dude - then let´s say I´ve seen one average rating for the “real“ Spore so far.

From who?

QFT. It's hard to believe just how far downhill it has gone.

@shio: From my preferred German PC games mag “Gamestar”. They gave Spore 79/100 in their latest issue (released this week). I know, 79 is not average, it´s above average, but my expectations regarding the quality are a bit lower now. Their biggest complaint (in-depth review, 6 pages) is that with the Spore Creator (or what it´s called in English) you´ve seen the most interesting part of Spore. Creature construction is deep and brilliant but the game itself is a bit disappointing (more linear, repetitive and tedious than they had expected). The game doesn´t develop its full potential. They gave Spore an award for innovation to honour the idea though, but - as I already said - only 79 for the overall gameplay.

Reminds me a bit of some reviews I read about the first Sims eight years ago. I´m sure Spore will be a huge success anyway.
