Games starring rappers should be terminated at birth. Infact, the moment some genius pipes up "hey, I think I can secure us the Eminem licence" you stab him in the face with a broken pencil. Okay? Understand world? Good. Now, back to Sunday...

Vane...

You mean 50cent would have been a killer app on the DS because of the reveloutionary fun touchscreen?

octo: That game would work on the DS. Use the stylus to stab execs with broken pencils...

This game looks completly dull, the review reads like an 3/10 at best. The pointless, ueberviolent execution scenes make me sick. This is the reason gaming can't be taken serioulsly by general audience.

Now back to blowing stuff up in Killzone, which is actually challenging and fun.

Good to see the review is written by someone who seems to have at least a slight clue about hip-hop, admirable!

50 Cent must be the saddest person on this planet. I really pity the likes of him.

Nah, it's the people who buy his records, or see his films, or buy the games that are the sad ones.

I like to read the review and guess from the text what sort of score the game will receive. I was rather surprised this managed a 5.

@Steroyd "You mean 50cent would have been a killer app on the DS because of the reveloutionary fun touchscreen?"

When did he say that? But I don't think there is any other way to look at the PSP library other than average.

Yes there are a couple of gems, but most of the PSP games get luke warm reviews, and the software line-up doesnt even come close to what the DS has to offer.

"Objection!!!

How many of those PSP releases are exclusive to the PSP though? More often than not they're also released on the PS2, with the PS2 version being better-looking, bigger and sometimes even cheaper.

If you want to play most of the DS's biggest hits, you have to get a DS, and perhaps that partly explains why the DS has outsold the PSP by such a wide margin.

Hey, yeah, I'm tired of all this talking about the game and responding to the review, let's start a PSP Vs. DS argument instead (at the least it'll make a change to all the X360 Vs PS3 arguments). This game really adds a fascinating new dimention to this traditionally mature, reasoned argument, after all.

Many times this week I've qustioned EG's writing skills.
But then I read reviews like this...

Gauntlet Unit. Heh.

note: When I praise this review, it's not for the fact that it just burns down this terrible game. But it does so whilst still retaining a high level of objectiviy.

Five out of ten? I awarded the console version a sweet 2/10 and this, frankly, sounds even worse.

Are we moving towards the 7-9 scale, gentlemen?

If you're going to use aggregate scores, then for fucks sake ... use some that have a figment of credibility. Of course, they don't exist, voiding your point even further.

Look up MetaFuture and have a look at score distribution there. According to the proprietor of the site, OPSM has an average score of 85%. Those scores are taken into account by Metacritic, Gamerankings et al. Which is why you should never trust them.

@FooAtari

Yeah but saying "yet another average PSP game" when it's console equivalent is average also, what do you expect, the PSP's mythical powah to turn it into a must have AAA title?

Any game in which you cannot kill 50 Cent is USELESS. And EG, I will be grateful if you refrain from dragging the hallowed name of Def Leppard with the likes of him - 50Cent (and his likes) do not deserve to be in the same GALAXY as the Lep, let along on the same page.

Do that again and I will never, never come back to your site. Does that make ya tremble or not??!!!

@AdamOfEternia: Wow. Progress! From judging systems to judging people who own them! You have amazing powers of human analysis. I bow to your supreme intelligence. Are you "an average DS" owner, then?

:-/

One would think people would learn from these threads enough to stop judging people on the basis of race, gender, system preference etc. Not so.

Yeah, this Game is dumb. Lets talk review-scores:


If you're going to use aggregate scores, then for fucks sake ... use some that have a figment of credibility. Of course, they don't exist, voiding your point even further.


FooAtari was talking "reviews", not "personal opinon".


Look up MetaFuture and have a look at score distribution there.
According to the proprietor of the site, OPSM has an average score of 85%.


I can't find information on OPSM on this site. When its there, their wrong:
Average Score: 63 % (5.6 % lower then all other, on games reviewed), PSP reviews are even lower (-8%)


Those scores are taken into account by Metacritic, Gamerankings et al.
Which is why you should never trust them.


These sites dont judge, they aggretate. I would not trust them, if they choose to exclude certain sites.

Use them as tool. If I want to check out a game I pick reviews form the top and bottom range of the list and actually read them. I certainly would not say, one game is better than another, because it has a higher metascore. This is where my personal opinion kicks in. I hate GTA and didn't like Castelvania DS, but bought Bomberman on both handhelds...

Edit: messed up quoting...

@AdamOfEternia: Well you confirm my suspicions about dubious practices of SOME of the people here...i.e. not reading full posts, marring their comments by relentless mudslinging, not getting the point of posts at all etc... Surely I learn a lot from these pages.

@AdamOfEternia: Well mudslinging was NOT my intention. You called PSP owners all sorts of names. I just asked in return whether you owned the DS. How is that mudslinging? Also, I think trying to point out an unfair prejudice/generalization is not mudslinging.
