I wish I could jump on board with this, but I've just been burned so badly for decades with tennis games. I've played almost all of them, owning everything from Pong to Mario Tennis on Virtual Boy to Virtua Tennis on Dreamcast, etc... The list goes on for decades now — And have finally come to the conclusion there will never be another one worthy of purchase.
I think for the time being I'll keep slugging away on Super Tennis on SNES or a nice game of table tennis via Sports Champions with the Move controllers.
I just don't understand why this particular sport is so hard to bring an ace to the consoles. I don't even care about licensed characters or venues; I just want some decent physics, sounds and gameplay.

The last of my popcorn has been popped.

I didn't get nearly enough snacks for this ongoing comment section!

Popping more popcorn...

Pheww, two HP articles in a row where I needed to bring some snacks... Although the other article has now disappeared from this site. Who used their, ahem, magic wand?

Damns, I should've made some popcorn before reading the comments.

@Anti-Matter Thanks for sharing the blue drink pic! I don't think any of us would know what Sega Blue looks like without it.

Fingers crossed for this one. I wish it were easy to make a decent tennis game, but so many developers have proven that it's not. I shall remain
optimistically hopeful in the meantime.

*New fuzzy yellow balls, please

Whereas this looks like it would be a great experience, it's going to take many, many other titles for me to even consider purchasing a Sony VR headset... if at all.

@Nickolaidas you know me too well, my friend. Sweet over savory.

I think this headline has some truth to it... I'm not hyped at all. I found this to be quite lame.
Those dragonballz just leave a salty taste in my mouth.

This whole microtransactions nonsense has killed all the excitement I had for the game I've been anticipating the most, Red Dead Redemption 2.
What was going to be a sure 1st day purchase has now been pushed completely to the back burner.
Sad times. Sad, sad times.
I choose to speak with my wallet and refuse to purchase games that participate in such matters. It isn't just a SWBF2 issue.

Loot crate this!

Interesting... I found it to be easy. Maybe my old school skills have been retained from my youth. Maybe kids these days are used to having everything handed to them and cry at the first thing that is a challenge?

Videogames, especially ones of the fighting variety, are and have always been sexist. If you think otherwise, you're most likely sexist as well. It's pretty damn blatant.

I must say, when the PSN store starting having tiered pricing on their sales I hated it as a non-ps+ user... seeing those cheaper prices for other users and all.
Now, still being a non-ps+ user, I love it because it has saved me a tremendous amount of money since I have stopped buying anything digital except on flash sales when it's one price across the board.
So, I suppose, thanks are in order for Sony for helping me keep my virtual and physical wallet closed.

In some ways it does suck for library though, as I would've purchased at least 6 games from this list if there wasn't different pricing. Win some, lose some, as the saying goes.

@Useyourname, No, not really. Damn allergies. Ugh. But thanks for asking!

@Dodoo, A red Gamecube?! That looks stellar. Much better looking than my dark grey/black-ish model... which incidentally, hasn't seen the light of day in over a decade as it rests peacefully in its original box inside another storage box down in the basement.
Why do I keep such things? Maybe it's finally time to clean house and part ways from machines of the past.

I hear you, @Useyourname. The color of the console is the absolute most important reason for purchasing one or not.
Hell, I'm still waiting for Nintendo to release a red NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U and Switch before I hop, jump and skip in the land of the mushroom kingdom.
And Microsoft really needs to get on board with a green Xbox so I can finally be the master chief that I know I can be.
As far as Sony is concerned, well, it needs to be grey to match my original PS1... or no buy! Because as everyone knows, the plastic shell is the absolute deciding factor of any console purchase decision.

Definitely needs a level editor... otherwise, what's the point?
No level editor, No thanks.

The dualshock is the most unergonomic controller out there. Without a change it's most likely going to decide my purchase with not getting a PS4. I just find the damn thing so uncomfortable.
I have noticed most smaller humans like it, but bigger ones do not. I stand in the land of almost giants, so I'm in the latter. If they wish to keep it, fine... but it should be something similar to Wii U's classic controller option.

Canada is technically North America too.
This article is confusing for people who have knowledge of basic geography.

White PS3? My black one still works

Outrageously overpriced... much like being in a Disney store.
Hell, I'm just waiting for a full-on NBX game. One where you're completely immersed in Halloween Town. If they ever make a game like that, I'll get it.

Why no Vita love, Disney? - Sony's handheld seems to be on the brink of extinction more and more. So sad.

I wish all disc based games would retail for this when they first come out. I wouldn't have to wait so long for some prices to drop to what I deem to be acceptable.

Umm, where's the rest of her?

Are Collector's Editions a Waste of Money?
Yes.

All shiny... but ugly on the inside.
I've only bought one or two games since they launched it.

This is an immersion game. We need more of them.

@Splat - Sony might hate you saying that, perhaps... but you seem to have good intentions for your reasoning.

I'm just not interested at all in a PS4 or Xbox720.
I have all the consoles now, but I'm just not sure I'm going to be getting another any time soon... maybe couple years down the road. I don't know though. I can't imagine what they could do better. I don't really care about graphics. Maybe if Move/Kinect is more immersive... that would give me a reason to buy. But a new console for just shiny new graphics? No.

One word: Unnecessary.

There is absolutely no need for this next line of TVs.

This footage is great. I truly am excited about this game.

Oh boy... I can't wait to not get this!

@TOMBOY25 I'm really digging my Wii U. The gamepad is incredibly comfortable and clear. It's the system that gets the most play these days.

I just bought an external hard drive on sale for $130. It has 2TB worth of storage. That's almost as much as 32GB, right? Yes, for only $30 more I got 2TB. Seriously, Sony? It's not the price of the Vita that's the problem... It's the memory cards.

When did the PS3 start selling? Oh yes, when they lowered the damn price! And that was a huge drop from the original. 50%, if I remember correctly. That's why Sony can boast how good it's doing now.

Having said all this, I think the Vita is great. But something must be done if they want this thing to even remotely sustain long term. It's definitely the best handheld out there, but apparently that's just not enough these days.

And then you have the whole "elitist" crowd who thinks they're entitled to everything for nothing. That's probably a huge part of the problem, as well.

Personally, I am not a fan of any subscription service, so therefor I have issues with PS+ on that level. But what really bothers me is that PS+ has split the Sony community apart. Not a very wise move on their part. They have made it so people not only bicker about XBOX or PS3 being better, but caused a rift in their own community.
I could on and on about the pricing structure, and how it's completely mishandled, but fact of the matter is I just no longer care about it. I just feel sorry for those who think they're getting great deals, when in fact those deals were available for everyone... and you didn't have to pay to have access to get the deals.

Those are some truly incredible figures. That equates to a whole lot groceries! --- or ammunition to kill more zombies, I suppose, being America and all.

I agree with you, Azikira. There's so much quality coming from WB lately. It's very much impressive. I can't imagine this being a bad thing if they acquire THQ.
I'm still convinced the UDraw series was the final nail in the coffin.

@Gemuarto - I'm assuming you mean Singapore, or as it's officially known, Republic of Singapore. Such a beautiful country. What difference does it make where a game is made? I'm trying to make sense of your comment.

Thanks for the review, Sammy. I wasn't even aware this game existed until recently.

I wonder if this game will get the "Ultimate" treatment further down the road and have all of it's DLC included as a re-release. Most fighting games seem to be doing that as of late.

@Gemuarto violence should never "look cool," as you said. It should always be looked upon in a negative light. There is absolutely nothing cool about violence.

I only play Mario games so I run around hopped up on 'shrooms all the time instead of shooting others. It works for me.

I would've thought a PS3 exclusive would've been named... or at least had more of them in the Honorable Mentions.
When lists like this are made it truly shows that there's really not that much difference between consoles. It's merely something for people to disagree upon and sometimes argue.
I wonder if one of the three won't make it past next generation.

This truly is a matter of opinion. No one can really claim victory in a debate over something like this. It's nice to read why some would think this is indeed the greatest console ever, if such a thing exists.

Journey is definitely atop for good reason. Nothing quite like that game.
Even if you don't like it it's definitely one you'll remember.

Perhaps the entire game, with this DLC included, should be priced at $4.99?
Damn, I hope they're not making money off of this! Abysmal, if so.

I can't imagine Sly Cooper ever selling a PS3 in the States; people here just don't care much about that franchise... That is, if they even know what it is. I imagine Sly will be forever lurking in the bargain bins. I personally am not for or against it. That's just how it is.

God of War - This franchise is on the way out with most people I know. Button mashing just doesn't have the same appeal as it used to.

BioShock Infinite is for frat boys. No interest whatsoever.

Tomb Raider looks fantastic. Hopefully it's a proper reboot.

GTA5 - Appears to be just like the previous 3 & 4 - We want another Red Dead-esque game, RockStar!

The Last Of Us looks amazing. This is the only exclusive title for PS3 that I'm truly interested in for next year. A boundary pusher.

I'm not a "frat boy," so this game isn't for me.

Oh, how I enjoy my Wii U --- I really wish Sony would stop trying to play catch-up sometimes.
I feel like this will never amount to many games using this due to the price involved. Sony could be using their resources more wisely. But what do I know? It's not like they're having financial issues, are they?

minor nuisance.

Once the "preorder now and get exlusive..." - yeah, whatever - I totally forgot the rest of the trailer.
I don't think this game is for me.

Sammy, where were the laughs? I saw plenty of guns... and guns... and guns...

A 2nd article on this cover?
Although, reading this one makes me have zero interest in this game now. Funny how that works. Just mentioning wanting frat members to play this game threw me off. If people like that are the desired market, it's not for me. The fact that time was wasted going around to frat houses for marketing research... pass! Yes, I loathe people like that.
And I was one of the people who didn't think it looked that bad. Old timey carnival feel. Generic, yes... but isn't that the norm?

@get2sammyb Oh, yes. It is an improvement, visually, over the first. I didn't mean for others to think it isn't. I just don't feel that it draws you in like other titles. There's nothing to make this stand out visually from any other "family" looking games. It lacks flair, in my opinion... which is made up for with it's controls!
Improved, yes. Immersion, no.
Could you imagine playing a wonderful title like the SC series but in a video game world with the style of Journey, Uncharted, AC, Rayman Origins, etc... you see, those titles all have completely different styles, but they draw you into their worlds. That's what I'm getting at. Zindagi just needs someone with more style to create their worlds.

Medieval Moves... Ha! I didn't even pick that up in the bargain bin. Just didn't appeal to me. I think I was just mad at Z for not making SC2 at the time.
