This post doesnt really make sense, it quotes heavenly sword and little big planet as succesful exclusives when several 360 exclusives such as Mass Effect, Crackdown are superior in both sales and in critical reception (yet aren't mentioned!)

 

      The best US game magazine, Play Magazine, gave Heavenly Sword a 10, Mass Effect an 8.7 and the Crackdown a 9.5. 

 

 

And yet the average score for Heavenly Sword is 7.9, Crackdown a 8.3, and Mass Effect a 9.1.  Funny how that works out, huh?

 

 

       Not really.  It is easily explained by the fact that Dave Halverson was publishing the best game magazine in the US in 1994 with Diehard Gamefan and he is publishing the best US game magazine now with Play Magazine while most of the reviewers that have reviewed these games probably were still in elementary school in 1994.

No offense dude, but wth does that have anything to due with my last post? Except talking about a some random game magazine.

 

     Oh, I'm not talking about some random game magazine.  I'm talking about the opinion of the best US game magazine ever published Diehard Gamefan which today is known as Play Magazine.  There's a difference between "the best" and "some random".

     And, I'm going to take the opinions of people that I've been reading since 1994 over some guy that has probably just graduated from college.

 

 

No Gameinformer is the best US game magazine.

 

 

I second that..

 

I like Gameinformer, but I find that some of their reviews are in stark contrast to many other sources.  For example, they rated Wheelman much higher than most other reviewers.  I think the new Riddick game was a good bit higher by them as well.



Keep this in mind when reading what I type...

I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.

Game Informer? Seriously, that magazine is just fancy toilet paper. If it wasn't for their Gamestop tie-in they'd be out of business.

One of the Reasons why Halo is so popular is because the Multiplayer is Top notch. CoD and Halo have Top notch Multiplayer. Great Multiplayer games tend to stay alive longer and have snowball affects .. Having people play it and spread the fun with their friends.
