just from that scene alone...it looks like the best one yet

Thats what I was always trying to figure out, how the hell are parents buying their kids these games? The rating system obviously has never worked. Really, let your kid plays these games and go to certain movies. Chances are they'll never have issues, but its the fact these parents are allowing it to happen can lead to the kids being screwed up from seeing many other things they shouldn't. Its always the parents fault, plain and simple until they turn 18.

ill never understand outrage because you let your kids play something that isn't made for their age group.

Of course, kids are just as able to steal these games and movies as you or I are. That raises a slightly different issue, but I'm just throwing that out there.

Seabiscuit36 · October 28, 2009, 01:17:18 PM

without a doubt, but dont raise a stink if your underage kid is stealing games then.

General_Failure · October 28, 2009, 01:43:48 PM

Its probably not a question of if the kid is stealing so much as it is a question on how much energy the parent is going to spend to prevent it.

Tell those stupid fargs to watch Penn & Teller's Bullshtein on video game violence. And if they don't have Showtime, have their kids steal that episode off the internet.

some strange things I noticed in madden 10. after finishing a full season on franchise. i realized they have the pro bowl before the super bowl. that ain't right?

also in the beginning start menu screen. its a picture of arizona and steelers fans, but on the very left hand side in the seats, there seems to be a guy with an eagles #36 jersey on with his arms crossed? anyone else notice this? i swear its an eagles jersey.

this year the probowl is the weekend before the superbowl, in the super bowl city.

Sgt PSN · October 30, 2009, 06:52:04 PM

which really doesn't make any sense. if you're voted to the probowl and play for a team that got eliminated in the playoffs, epsecially the the conf champ game, are you really going to want to play in a meaninless game the following week? and what about the players who get voted to the probowl and will be playing in the super bowl? there's no way any coach/gm/owner will want their best players risking injury in a meaningless game the week before the super bowl.

whose dumb farging idea was that anyway?

thats weird about your oblivion experience dio. i think it might have t do with it being one of the first games released for ps3 and at that point, game developers had little knowledge on the ps3. game developers right now are starting to create games that can truly take advantage of its processor. i don't think it couldn't handle it, i just think there were lots of unknowns at that point for ps3 game developers. just my opinion though...

I reckon you're right. Oblivion wasn't expressly written for the PS3; it was on PC and 360 well before it was released for PS3, so I have to imagine the PS3 version is just some kind of port. I have not had the sound problems since my last post..in fact it only happened that one day. The visual pop up thing still happens of course, but it doesn't hurt the experience enough to actually discourage playing.

The game is f'n huge. I havent' even started the main quest, just spending my time roaming around cleaning out dungeons and saving princesses. Good times.

GTA IV is good, but I'm just not into it. It's basically the same game as the last iteration for PS2, but with better graphics, storyline, voice acting, etc. It annoys the piss out of me that I have to maintain relationships a la The Sims in order to keep the storyline going. I don't want a f'n girlfriend in fantasy video game land...I had one of those in real life and she turned into a wife. I'm looking for some relief in a game, not more nagging, errands, and responsibility.

Dio-since you're one of the few in here that have ps3...don't sleep on Uncharted 2.

it will be one of if not the best game you will ever play for the console (and the 1st one was absolutely ridiculous as well).

Diomedes · October 31, 2009, 09:59:05 AM

I'll look for it once I'm finished with Oblivion, Fallout 3, and GTA IV, in about five years.
