Holy shit at high Resistance score! It's only one point below Halo 2. :lol

That score is very high for a FPS in Japan.

Man, Ridge Racer 7 and Resistance are gonna be awesome. I'm starting to consider camping out at Best Buy for one. I just got an X360 with RR6, and it's so awesome. I'VE GOT THE BUG HELP ME SQUASH IT.

I read on another forum that Famitsu actually gave 33 to the original Halo. Doesn't prove anything but numbers are fun right?

Genji PS3 - 7/7/7/8
Resistance - 9/8/8/8
Gundam PS3 - 8/8/8/8
Ridge Racer 7 - 9/9/9/9

Review Comments:

Sega Golf:

- Good tempo
- You can't accurately determine where your shot will fall
- Doesn't really look next-generation

Genji:

- Camera sucks, but looks great
- Challenging for beginners
- Good amount of content
- Good controls

Resistance:

- Standard FPS gameplay
- Excellent netplay
- Very high standard of next-generation

Gundam:

- Excellent models of Mobile Suits
- Opinions on the game are divided because it relies heavily on accurate input
- The systems are problematic
- Great textures
- Tons of optional and unlockable content
- Overall it's satisfying even though opinions are divided on it

Ridge Racer 7:

- Totally satisfactory
- The amount of content is totally satisfying
- The high quality of the graphics and sound are very pleasing

Although Famitsu reviews don't mean shit, it's nice to see they're at least positive about the games :)

If you read the critics the games get, it's hard to believe they got those scores

With the exception of Gundam, all the other PS3 games that got really good scores have gotten very positive impressions from people.

Holy shit, Armodine sounds freakin' awesome!! Someone better ****ing bring this stateside eventually.

I'm pleased with the PS3 scores as well. Definitely snagging RR7 and Resistence. I wish Genji was a little higher, but I'll still grab it anyways cause I really liked the original (though I'm disappointed they didn't fix the camera, which many have been complaining about for a while).

Nothing new about the ideas. Sounds like Gun Parade March on PS1(which was very well regarded) and the Gun Orchestra trilogy on the PS2(which were considered mediocre).

Wow, Mitsuda working on a mecha game. Um, as someone who has never played them, what kind of music do they usually have?

Wowow Mitsuda. Will be interesting to hear what kind of music he cooks up.

Probably won't have to wait long to find out. Sony should launch the website at the end of the week and it'll likely include a trailer since the game is due out at the end of the year.

Why a genji 2, really the first one was a rip-off of onimusha, sony should have let capcom made a onimusha game for the launch of the ps3 instead of a sequel of genji.

Onimusha 4 did shit sales compared to the previous 3. Me thinks Capcom want to give it a rest.

Genji is fresher and has some potential to takeoff. It might not, who knows.

But most gamers prefer another onimusha than a genji game. An onimusha game gets more attention when it's a launch game for the ps3.

Odd coice of wording. I would expect something better then "satisfactory" to hit a bunch of 9s

To me it sounds more like the guys at Namco gave out free blowjobs instead of moneyhats...

He's a pretty swell guy in my books anyway.
Mitsuda on a mecha game? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!! I guess I can try one... hope it's less like Armored Core and more like ZoE. Was the Front Mission game they did good? I hope his Wii and other DS game are RPGs or action games.

P.S. Who's Gran Prix? Can they make anything like the GBA game Treasure made or better?
