Edge Reviews - April 2007

Never heard of it. What the hell is it?

Splinter Cell with Vampires, but not as good.

Lindberg is closer to 360 than PS3, so I'm not too concerned with the quality of the port.

Lindberg is a Wintel machine. The 360 is a PowerPC architecture. Neither it nor the PS3 is even remotely similar to the Lindberg.

There are some 360 fanboys on this board, but I think a lot of the people you are lumping in there, like me, started out very skeptical and were sold on the system by, *gasp*, games. I know it's a novel concept, especially for Wii and PS3 fans.

That's the thing though, I like systems for the "games" too, but I like different games than you do. I think LBP looks awesome but you don't like it, I think Yoshi's Island is the best game ever made but you don't like it either. And I've got nothing against 360 fanboys or any fanboy for that matter, except for militant fanboys. That shit just needs to go away.

I've been on the fence about getting a PS3. With the new HDTV, I want more stuff to hook up to it. What makes it the happiest console purchase ever?

I really love the way the games look. I'm still stuck with a SD TV but Motorstorm and Resistance still look incredible on it. I'm not used to seeing crisp detail at such distances, not even on my PC. The vids for Lair and LBP are very encouraging. It's got four USB ports up front, takes the most popular media cards, bluetooth (wireless keyboard and mouse), it's a cheap Blue-Ray player, I can use it to download games onto my PSP, Motorstorm and Resistance online for free. There's more but I already sound like a lunatic fanboy.

Can anyone suggest a good affordable Tube HDTV?

[Kbu Chan]

Practice what you preach.

I do. I've never gone into a thread to tell people how much something they like sucks and that what I like is better.

Bioshock and Assassin's Creed have almost a zero percent chance of being as good as Metroid Prime.

No, he's right. Lindbergh is definitely closer to 360 than it is to PS3. That doesn't mean it's the same or anything, but it's not as crazy as cell or anything.

VF5 for 360 will also be ported from a newer revision of the arcade, supposedly, so I'd say it'll be the version to get. The 360 will never have downloadable Tekken, however.

This is a bad thing?
