fuck all this hulk shit, better than infamous or not?

Game is fun, mission and story structure is fucked and can be unnecessarily frustrating.

I prefer infamous but they're twi very different games

It's worth playing. Dunno if it's worth full price, but then, there's not many that do and I believe most games are far too expensive.

Unless you work for game and get 25% off all games and a few nicely chosen freebies :-)

25% of a lot is still a lot, imho. A price of €25 for a game would be more suitable, imho. Or €30,-. I know, there's a lot of non-AAA titles that come out for that price, but still.

I do have to note that there seems to be a trend developing in that PC games are priced a lot cheaper than console games, probably as a countermeasure to piracy.

PC games have been cheaper than console games for like, the last 5 years.

They're the superior product anyway:monster:

^that, :monster:. If piracy wasn't as big as an issue, the PC would've still pwned consoles.

Also, most innovation in terms of the technology behind games is still on PC, considering its hardware will quickly overtake any new generation of console, which is pretty much frozen for five years.

Then again, the Nintendo DSi and the new PSP both have a stronger processor (where the latter is a potentially stronger one). If that continues, I'd be inclined to believe consoles will get upgrades in terms of their graphics and such as well - if not in this generation, then perhaps the next one.

At that point what's even the point in owning a console versus a PC?

That's what I was thinking when I wrote that, lol :monster:. But it seems to start to become a trend already - the 360 had different 'versions', for example. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the next generation's consoles have different versions as well, but then in terms of hardware, which can produce better graphics depending on the version of the console. But yeah, that would be rather ridiculous, really.

Consoles should remain simple, imho. I'm no fan of the recent ps3 / 360 developments with optical stuff and motion detection (read: them attempting to follow the Wii), but then, I'm hardly representative for the mass consumer, :monster:.
