I just found out the same thing happened with Super Rub-a-Dub (a PSN game...completely motion controlled).  That was a $5 game (really fun, too).  So, that seems to be the issue with the reviewers.  They don't understand that you have to learn how to master the control system (just like the move from the 8-bit Nintendo's D-pad to the analog stick).

I'm typing from the PS3 so I can't provide links.  Google the reviews.

I'm not saying Lair is perfect.  I know that is what some people are reading into my posts about it.  It has it's flaws.  I am saying it is a solid game (maybe a 7.8 or 8).

BTW, Calidian, what's the difference between a pofessional reviewer and a gamer that gives his opinion?

Answer: A paycheck.

I make more $ than they generally make.  I wouldn't be interested in taking that much of a pay cut.  Though, it would be fun to have connections in that field and play tons of games (and call it work).

Has anyone played/purchased/rented BioShock for 360 or pc?

It really good reviews. GameInformer gave it a 10 on both scores. Not that a good score from GI = good game, but it brings the game into perspective. I haven't played to many new games from the 360 that i have really liked. so i rented BioShock and played a few hours. It is not bad, but I don't know if can quite give it a 10. the graphics are really good as well as the sounds, but the underlying game isn't all that original. It's a very dark game and you kill dead like people. Resident Evil comes to mind without the Horror movie feel.

I don't think i will buy it though. I will give it a little more time as i have another week of rental on it.

Any thoughts??

games to look forward to:
CoD 4
Halo 3 (though i am not a huge Halo fan, hope the multiplayer is good)
GTA IV, but thanks to PS3 we have to wait until March to get it
GH 3 (not that i have finished GH 2, but hey new is good...right?)

Anyone bough Medal of Honor Airborne or whatever it's called?

The rumor is that GTA IV was delayed to make it a PS3 exclusive.  Of course, that's just the rumor.  Remember, the issues they had with Xbox 360 not having a hard drive on every console and how that made things more difficult for them.  Therefore, I'm not sure about the PS3 holding up GTA IV.  In the end, the PS3 holding up GTA IV is the only rumor.

It's not a PS3 exclusive and it never will be, the MS deal of 2 exclusive DLC episodes for 360 still stands, the 360 is the only way to get the complete GTA4, and the delay is because the game is not ready for either platform, ESPECIALLY the PS3, that is why no PS3 build has ever been seen by press or public, it is still in that bad a shape. And how can anything be Take-two's fault? They are just a publisher how would they know how difficult the PS3 SDK is to develop on and how little help Sony give out to 3rd party devs (even the ones who helped create the PS legacy)? Did you mean Rockstar? Oh sorry I forgot your knowledge is limited solely to what you paraphrase from "www.i-am-a-fanboy-retard.com", you don't actually know anything about the game or movie industries...

It has nothing to do with Sony bashing. It has to do with the constant spreading of rumors that if are repeated enough are known to be preceived as being true.

Rumor 1: It was delayed to beomce a PS3 exclusive.

Rumor 2: It was delayed beciase the PS3 cannot run the game.

Rumor 3: It was delayed because the Xbox version won't fit on a single DVD, so Rockstar is getting frustrated.

Rumor 4: No one has ever seen the PS3 version in action.

Come on,  let's start our own rumors.

While we're at it, can we stop the Sony/Microsoft bashing. This thread and the Blu-ray HD DVD thread are getting so tiresoem to read with all the back and forth nonsense.
