  The 3D is only eye candy

  Reviewers, we already know that. Added depth perception is nice and we like having it. Considering that graphics are a major part of most reviews I don't understand why "eye candy" is dismissed as something trivial. I will gladly take eye candy over eye vegetables any day.

  The importance of exclusive games?

  The past few years IGN has posted a very mathematical article tallying up how many quality games each console had and declaring a winner based in which had the most. PS3 has won 3 out of the past 4 years. While reading this I noticed that despite their paper victory that a large percentage of their highly rated games flopped. Should a game that fails to connect with an audience really be considered a great exclusive? What does the lack of acknowledgement of quality say about PS3 owners or gamers in general? What could Sony have done differently to get their games the attention that they deserved?

  Sony Sixaxis controller = FAILURE

  With the impending release of the Playstation move Sony is about to put the final nail in the coffin of their failed Sixaxis controller. For those who don't remember the PS3 originally shipped with a controller didn't rumble (because rumble was "last gen) and had motion controls just as good as the Wii! They set out to prove that by forcing Lair to control using only motion. Factor 5 the makers of the mostly excellent Rogue Squadron games is now dead thanks to that genius move and most other games that tried to force players to use it had to later be patched to also use analog controls as well as rumble support. Thank you for admitting your mistake, Sony. Let's hope that your Move is more successful than your first attempt at current gen controls. Maybe now Super Rub A Dub can be patched to be playable!
