Tell me then, which games should I be looking forward to in order not to be a sheep.
If I told you, you would still be a sheep, but only with a different sheppard!
P.S. I thought you were also looking forward to Infinite Space? I guess I am the only one then (hint: an individual not a SHEEP)
I am. But I have no DS yet. I finally ordered one, but I'll have to wait until it arrives before becoming your sheep. And you are not a sheep, you are a...female honey badger.

In mating season.
Just Remember Steel, that the is a pretty good chance the game will fail horribly. The more ambitious the game, the bigger the chance of failure. In the company Philips they insist that the succes rate of scientific research should be around 30%. If you achieve higher succes rate, than they say that you are being to conservative with your research. Research should be out there, the greater the risk, the greater the profit.
This might explain also why many people look forward to the same games. Because they do take risk, the succes rate might be higher. So people are not just sheep, they are cowardly sheep.
P.S. honey badger are fucking awesome, female or otherwise!
P.S Someone went to a whole lot of effort to post a lot of crappy Spiderman reviews. LOL
Yeah, that would be me, GG. I've been secretly waiting for Spider-Man: WoS for a while now. According to some people in other forums and IGN's comments who claim to have played it, IGN's review is stupid. It's supposedly not a great Spider-Man game, but still a good one. I'm going to rent it one of these days and see for myself. I rented Spider-Man 3 back when it came out, and absolutely loved the Wii web-swinging controls; I felt like Spider-Man which is damn cool! Too bad the rest of that game sucked ass, though. Hopefully, I'll like WoS a lot more.
I was really looking forward to Fable II, but with all the problems people are having with game-killing bugs and such, I'm glad I don't have the money to buy it right now. "Ship it now, fix it later!" That's the Microsoft way.
Finally got back to Trauma Centerecond Opinion; once I got the vibe of it, I'm breezing through the missions and getting shitty C's all over the place. As soon as I finish it, I'm getting New Blood.
On the games you are looking forward to issue, I do feel kinda bad sometimes when people are just looking towards what are seen as the 'big' games. What I love about gaming is discovering something new that you didn't know would turn out well, or that you didn't know if you'd even like and then immersing yourself in that game and loving it.
You know the list Archie gave is almost exactly the same as everyones else's list of games. Everyones taste should be different, than why are the hardcores all looking forward to the exact same games? And they are usually the big coventional games.Why is that?
I don't know but isn't that usually the case though. If you pick a bunch of random hardcore gamers they'll usually have most of the same games that they're looking forward to but have slight variances to those lists such as 1 or 2 different games from the majority. Same with casual gamers. They'll have 1 or 2 differences among each other or people who are into the niche games etc.
So people are sheep?! Correct?
Nice try but no. They are that flock of sheep for a reason and they like what they like and games are categorized for the same reason because they are made and marketed to those flocks. You'll also have some overlap to varying degrees with different flocks of sheep because of the very reason that sheep do have different tastes. Some hardcore sheep do dip into the casual games and visa-versa.
I changed your last pharagraph a bit Archie
type => flock
gamers => sheep
See gamers are sheep, you have your hardcore sheep, the casual sheep, etc. The hardcore shepherd is gamerankings and metacritic, and the casual shepherd is the media. Your own words Archie? A bit twisted to prove a point!

Think you're pretty clever don't ya. I had to fix it again for you with a couple of subtle but important changes.

What changes? It is exactly the same, word for word. On a more serious note, the reason you gave why you all have the same taste is not correct. The is a reason for that, but I am lazy, maybe Punk will explain it.

Second Opinion is the Wii-make of the first game, right?

Yup. Being hand-held less, this game rings like brand new to me!

A couple days ago, on a thread at the GGD, someone said that he had hit the so called Wii Wall. Namely, that he was at a dead end with the games available on the system and his particular taste.
I remember writing something related to this in a blog a while ago, way before actually buying my own Wii. I thought I would be hitting such wall before the end, being left with few appealing games. Turns out the system has a very different vibe than what I thought back then. The games I own for it are experiences not so easily found in other systems. Games like DeBlob, Trauma Center, Endless Ocean, PESWii (flaws and all, game executes flawlessly, but it's almost barebones), SMG, as well as other games that I'm picking up shortly, such as Fire Emblem, Zelda TP, Boom Blox, Elebits, etc. make this system something completely different than the 360. And it's not because of the obvious hardware differences and all, but because of the approach many devs are taking with the console.

I've never hit that wall with any system, except maybe the DS at launch which had nothing but crap.

Holy jumping jellybeans what is up with the PS3 in japan. I just looked at that now, the 360 outsells it, LOL. Well that means the PS3 is officially dead until FFXIII when it becomes a zombie for a bit before Nintendo shoots it in the head.
Finally someone notices. I've been saying this for a while.

Morning all.
Maybe White Knight will help the PS3 in Japan. Or even LBP...has any outlet said that the Japanese dig that game?
Podcast wise...we need more confirmations and such! Go on! It's fun! You'll be with friends...
Found this also. This is fucking awesome.
