It wouldn't be shocking but it would be an incredibly pleasant surprise.

@Stuff1

I forgot they were making inFamous 2. Darn. You're right, that's probably more important to them right now.

I Think you guys will love this.

@Roopa: My understanding was that it was slated for sometime in the Spring, at least in America. Don't forget that it comes with Ico on the same disc...a game which I understand is harder to find in America than in Europe (due to a reprint in Europe when Shadow of the Colossus released that America didn't get), but still noteworthy nonetheless.

@Mickeymac: Yeah, InFamous 2 is definitely the current priority, but it's supposed to release this coming Summer. I've no doubt they're already in early conceptual development on Sly 4, though.

I'd heard something about that Popular Science thing. Nice little burn there. It's a shame that technology speak doesn't always (or even usually) translate to sales, however. Kinect is doing FAR better at retail than I think it should be.

Blame their marketing. When they said $5 million in advertising, they meant it.

I don't think its release is too far off.

@Mickey.... I'm not a console basher at all so the whole "kids stuff" doesn't really do anything for me. I do think that Move is very deserving of the praise. Since I've been writing for Movemodo I have put a lot of time in with Move, and I'm continually impressed. Ive yet to play Kinect so I can't compare the two, but Move is truly impressive technology. The Fight Lights Out really shows where Move can go in the future and the low reviews, I'm fixing to sound like a fanboy, are not accurate at all. Ive put lots of time in with the game and it works, very well. It has a deep learning curve to the game and I seriously question if reviewers that have given the low scores actually put any real time into the game. Its a flawed game, but not a 1/10 by any means.

@Mickeymac: Yeah, it's DEFINITELY marketing...sadly. I hate the fact that marketing can so easily sell products of questionable comparative quality. To be able to make money selling a product you blew five MILLION dollars convincing people to buy is absolutely obscene.

@Slappy: I've said it before on Movemodo, and it's really true: People are reviewing Move as if it was supposed to be a user-friendly experience as opposed to an extremely accurate motion sensor. It's incredibly ironic, seeing as people tend to complain about Wii controls, which are actually much more user-friendly. It's like...what do you guys actually want?!?

Anyone have White Knight Chronicles? The concept seems pretty cool with the action RPG somewhat turnbased action.

Well, at least 4 other people that I know where I live had the YLoD at the same time as me. Not counting the others on here that happened within the same month. I'm thinking conspiracy.

I'm thinking I'm not buying a used PS3...

I don't see why anyone would want to buy any of these new systems used.

Because some people don't have $300 to spend.

Well, used systems aren't cheap enough for me to justify buying it when they are probably more likely to mess up and probably already have.

@Strofan: I'm sure I DON'T. I still see no good reason they couldn't have simply cast the people from the games...they did mo-cap as the voices were recorded, so it's not like they couldn't do it. Nolan North at the very least should've played Drake. I simply cannot see ANYONE else in that role.

IGN reviewed Gran Turismo 5 and gave it 8.5. Good score, but surely lesser than expected for many.

Yeah, I figured it would be a 9 all the way, but it sounds like by the time I get a PS3, they'll have ironed out the little kinks enough to make it worth it.

@Strofan: No doubt not EVERY voice actor could make the transition...but I do firmly believe that North could handle it with pizazz.

8.5? Yeah...that's a bit low given the development time. But when they spent the vast majority of that time adding over 1,000 different car models to the game, I can't help but get the feeling that the gameplay wasn't as much the main focus as it should have been.

Not that I care about the game one way or the other, mind...I just find the jokes about the number of cars hilarious.

@Strofan: Certainly more than the other guy. See for yourself!

Whoo. Got a review copy of Splatterhouse sent in. Kinda looking forward to that one, disgusting as it probably is.

Let us know when you get a review up, I might have to Gamefly that one

Auditorium is Amazing! Just wrapped up the review and it and Create (not so amazing) reviews should be up tomorrow.

@Stuff... I missed you earlier post about Move being reviewed wrongly, and I do agree. Thankfully, some are finally seeing what it has to offer as it did just win a tech award. Auditorium has perfect Move controls and I mean perfect! Its only a matter of time before more and more people catch on and hopefully developers wont pull too many Racquet Sports Wii port control schemes to degrade the quality Move can offer.

I have GT5 finally, and after hours of Auditorium and writing the review I'm about to play until I fall asleep doing so 8.5 is about what I figured for score. Its only building on a already released game. Comparing Need for Speed to Gran Turismo is just funny

EDIT.... Whoah I got a shield, I just noticed that
