Gotcha. There are a lot of sticky points with PC-to-console comparisons. The biggest problem is that there is no standard PC. The other is that most of us freelancers are poor as @*&# and can barely afford rent, let alone a decent gaming rig. :?

I know for my part, usually platform comparisons are just a way to create drama where there is none. If there are important notable differences, I'll point them out. But over the past two years, those differences have pretty much disappeared. More often than not it just feeds into console wars...

Well, you could check out the new features that I've been pumping out now on a semi-weekly basis. I didn't leave the sexy world of review writing behind for nothing! http://www.gamerevolution.com/features/how-short-is-too-short If you're lucky, you may be able to spot a thought or two...

Duke's presence and personality will be sorely missed on the site. Without him, GR wouldn't be the warm home to inebriated misfits that it is. Cheers. And as Mr. Dodson said above, this is Nick and Blake's big chance to step up and show us all what they can do. Duke's left some big shoes to...

Thanks! Really appreciate it. Writing a positive review is always a lot tougher than writing a negative one.

A game like this, you don't have the space to write about everything. Tried to hit the most important points, especially the things that were most changed since FM2. -JC

Is this what you were looking for? Paragraph seven. :wink:

If I had two picks for Editor's Choice, Dead Space would absolutely have been one of them. I'll be sure to buy a round of drinks in its honor next time I'm at the bar. :wink:

oops. double post. :oops:

Nick's right. :shock: Anonymous ("user") reviews live in the land of extremes. Either a game is "teh best evar!!11!" or it is "stinkier than day-old piss on a ten-year-old pile of dung." So those aren't a very good measure. User averages also factor in a disproportionate amount of negative...

Yeah, I hate that guy. He smells. Really bad. And I'm pretty sure I saw him eat a kitten once. He'd deny it if you brought it up, but he knows that I know that he knows that I saw him do it.

The only time enemies spot me is when I approach in a vehicle or at a run. Otherwise, they don't know I'm there until they hear the brush rustling or hear me fire my first round. Using a silenced pistol or dart rifle usually keeps them from spotting me. Enemies in FC2 might not be brilliant...

Yup. It's too bad. Consoles could use a realistic FPS. Guess we'll all just have to wait for the uber-realistic alien-bashing of Resistance 2.

Buying RB2 + instruments is nothing compared to how much it would cost me to buy a bigger dog house. ...because that's where I'd have to live if I brought yet more plastic instruments into the living room.

A week after writing my review, I've noticed a few things overall: 1) As I said in my review, the game is an impressive collection of new details, but it's ultimately less of a game overall compared to its predecessors. It's a fantastic game, but it's not meeting its potential--to the point...
