It actually isn't even close to PC elitism. Several games are far superior on consoles. But for a game that is essentially an interactive zombie movie in terms of presentation, the visual style will definitely help immensely with enjoyment of the experience. And I have a PS3 and access to a 360, so jealousy/frustration isn't the issue. Just something I don't know if a lot of people thought about because I've seen very few other games that were so dissimilar between console versions and PC version in terms of the visual presentation (not necessarily even the graphics).

Actually, you don't. And I've been using and am very pleased with gamingtailgate's roster because as far as I can tell, he just named the default roster instead of fucking with ratings and shit.

As for Shutter Island:

Sorry, guys, but Left 4 Dead (and probably L4D2) is simply better on the PC... I mean, I'm sure the gameplay is near identical, but the game visually looks better on the PC. The console versions are way too bright, which detracts majorly from a "zombie" game. And it's pretty much meant to be played online. Playing single player is just no way to go about it. And playing on anything less than the hardest difficulty is probably not doing you any favors. All of those aspects together really emphasize teamwork and even tactics. When you play Versus, all of that is just even more true. But the visual edge goes to the PC, hands down.

I don't know if it's the case for Madden, but the NCAA 11 demo was missing SEVERAL key gameplay changes that were actually included in the final game, so there may be some more stuff in the release version to be happy with as for gameplay changes. As for Franchise mode, isn't Madden getting something similar to NCAA 11's Online Dynasty? If so, EA is pushing pretty hard for that, and I personally can't fault them for leaving it alone because it was more than entertaining enough last year and a lot of the gameplay changes/tweaks seem meaningful enough to make buying Madden 11 seem worth it rather than just making me feel like it was an update they could have released for Madden 10.

Read interpretations of the game. It gets pantsier....

This will be campy and exploitive use of 3-D just like The Final Destination. I can almost guarantee a shitty LOOKING use of 3-D to boot. Can't wait.

I saw the movie again last night. Still can't seem to gather my thoughts intelligently about this movie. Although seeing it a second time definitely lets you appreciate the film more and watch closely. For example:

I'd be in for an OD for PS3, but I won't have an internet connection for my console until late August.

The Prestige really is class. Hell, I got really upset on a different forum a few weeks back when people were talking about copyright infringement versus "borrowing" ideas and then mentioned that The Prestige and The Illusionist came out at roughly the same time and compared them. For those playing the home games, about the only decent comparison between those movies is that they both have magicians. The similarities end right there.

I'll have more specifics about why I will (subjectively) stick to this as Nolan's masterpiece later, but I want to clarify that The Dark Knight is an extremely close second. EDIT: Definitely not the third greatest film of all time, though. Although The Dark Knight bounced around near the top of that list when it first came out. It's come down some.

I feel like this movie is probably better the second time around (haven't seen it again to test it) because that would allow me to pay more direct attention to the intricacies of the rules and such that Nolan has crafted for this premise without having to worry about discerning the plot and such. I would agree that the film was poorly marketed, but it definitely lived up to and exceeded my expectations and my perceptions of the "hype" surrounding it. I think calling this Nolan's masterpiece is fitting out of all of the movies he's directed and/or written. Furthermore, as far as I'm concerned, it made up for an entirely lackluster summer movie season. Sure, this summer's had some expected gems and even surprises, but I counted on Inception to deliver and it did. Upon a single viewing, this film definitely jumped up onto my list of favorite movies of all time.

Does this roster just have the default roster named? I ask because Block O changed some of the ratings and shit and ended up with spelling mistakes like crazy.

But overall, great game. I beat the game and took it back to Blockbuster to get something else, but I will definitely buy this soon. As for my ending/last level:

I got a Blockbuster game rental plan to play through some PS3 games without buying them (I just got my PS3 last Thursday) and picked this up while not expecting much. I plan to buy this game SOON. It's so good. Even if I beat it and play through it sufficiently, I still must own it to show to my friends because it is that good. I'm about halfway through I think (the part where Jayden plays the piano), but this game it crazy awesome, and from my understanding, it is just going to get more and more tense.

"...Great White Buffalo..." Fantastic movie. Look forward to owning it.

I was skeptical of Heavy Rain until I rented it (I JUST got my PS3 on Thursday). Holy fucking shit...absolutely fantastic game. I hope more games are done in a similar fashion because I think it's a brilliant format for storytelling.

I bit the bullet, traded in my PS2, all of its games, and some DS games that I didn't play anymore to get $130 from Gamestop and then proceeded to buy a PS3, Demon's Souls, and Red Dead Redemption. Now just to get an ethernet cable so I can play with you all. And Target currently has a PS3 Controller and LBP bundled for the price of the controller, so I'm thinking about that as well. As for this game, I'm obviously just playing single player right now, but it's absolutely amazing. Totally worth the money I spent getting everything.

Wanted level goes up after falling off of a train because they just assume that you went full retard when you were attempting that great train robbery?
