@ sieanr

then you've never heard of Eragon


Eragon is a very different kind of game, IMO Warhawk has far more in common in terms of gameplay than Eragon does. Yes, it shares a dragon theme and a medieval like setting, but that's about it.

Perhaps, but not in this case. There is too much stink of fake/viral marketing from this story.

Please stop that is considered trolling.

I think I miss the trolling.

This does not look like a good game. The IGN editors are talking on their podcast like this game is lucky to get a 5.5 rating which says it all... I will read the reviews and rent if I think I might enjoy it but it is highly unlikely.

Gold Medals? I haven't seen that since...Rogue Squadron!



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

 Good score with well-thought-out reviewing, showing some actual know-how in what to look for and note = trustworthy score.

 Good score with "PS3 FOR LIFE" and obvious fanboy bias = untrustworthy score.

 

I would say the same thing if someone yelled out "BOOGIE IS THE BEST EVER, NINTENDO FOREVER!" 



PS3: 5.51m/51w, avg 108,039/w (up 239)
360: 12.93m/102w, avg 126,764/w (up 625), leads PS3 by 7.42m (up 70k), avg lead 18,725/w (up 386)
Wii: 13.52m/51w, avg 265,098/w (dn 1,102), leads PS3 by 8.01m (up 90k), avg lead 157,059/w (dn 1,341)

If 360 sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass 360 by...
01/08: (008w) +875.8%, 04/08: (021w) +344.4%, 07/08: (034w) +219.3%, 10/08: (047w) +163.5%

If Wii sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass Wii by...
01/08: (008w) +1072.%, 04/08: (021w) +498.4%, 07/08: (034w) +363.4%, 10/08: (047w) +303.1%
01/09: (060w) +269.0%, 04/09: (073w) +246.9%, 07/09: (085w) +232.6%, 10/09: (099w) +220.3%
If PS2 sales freeze, Wii sales increases needed to pass PS2 (as of Mar07, 108.4m) by...
2008: (008w) +4373.8%, 2009: (060w) +0496.5%, 2010: (112w) +0219.6%, 2011: (165w) +0116.9%
2012: (217w) +0064.9%, 2013: (269w) +0033.1%, 2014: (321w) +0011.5%, 2015: (376w) -0004.8%
At +0% it will pass it in 358w, the week ending September 19th, 2014, at an age of 409w (7y44w).
Current age of PS2: 7y37w.

 I thought the kid saying it could be a 6-8hr game was funny since I once lost my save in RS on the 64 and beat it again in about 7 hours.

@Ben,

I was going to say that, but I think I have related Lair to Rogue Squadron enough times, and why I foresaw that the end result would not be REVIEWED well.

Boogie is not Nintendo published, unlike Lair.

I think we get the picture, though.

Eragon is a very different kind of game, IMO Warhawk has far more in common in terms of gameplay than Eragon does. Yes, it shares a dragon theme and a medieval like setting, but that's about it.

Both involve flying on a dragon and attacking things in the air and ground. Eragon goes a bit farther and has actionish sequences on the ground, but it still has in air dragon combat just like lair.

Maybe you can explain what makes Lair fundamentally different than anything the 360 has? Is it the motion controls?
