Hang in there, MGS4. We believe in your might. At least I do.

*salutes the mighty Kojima*

This seems like it was a pretty slow week, ja? Guess they'll pick up soon since the holidays are fast approaching.

Am I the only one who thinks Mercenaries 2 sucks? Well, it might not suck but I don't think it's fun at all.

i played the demo and i dont understand the mercs 2 hype. the most annoying thing for me in any third person or first person game is the constant and forced dramatic music. it just kills any sort of suspension of disbelief a player has. unfortunately, the music starts up right after youre debriefed, so the illusion doesnt last for even a second. gameplay wise, i didnt find it fun. the scripted quick-time events to take over a tank feel so outdated.

flying the helicopter was cool though.

not a single DS game in the top 17

they need a new AAA title

Yes go MGS4, lucky number 13!
