Cybylt Haratio TaFotter Since the big business with Metal Gear Solid 4 awhile ago, its really made me reconsider game reviews in general. This whole blacklisting thing is news to me, but I still think its all stupid. Also, not taking sides on anything, but whenever review-related s**t seems to hit the fan, its always seems to be tied to something exclusively for a Sony console. Just saying. Because Sony likes to hype up their stuff more and has a much more (negatively) responding fanbase. Like I said, it brings more traffic.
I was thinking it was more along the lines that they needed good reviews for hyped up games because their console has kinda tanked for the last couple years, but what you've said makes sense.

nitnit Hello good sir, might I direct you to the PC? It is home to actual RPGs, and you might enjoy them.
For me, the best RPGs are Shin Megami Tensei and Monster Hunter. So aside from Frontier and Imagine, they have nothing of these series on the PC. The best shooter is Battlefield, particularly Bad Company which is designed as a console shooter. Aside from that I don't like keyboard and mouse controls and I don't want to have to pay for an upgrade every other month to make whatever newest games I want look as good and run as smooth as their console version.
Couple that with rampant piracy and PC gaming will become a thing of the past.
To Alexx:
JRPG - Japanese Role-Playing Game. Exactly what it says in the name, an rpg made by a japanese company. Just like a WRPG is any made in Europe or North America and MMORPG is any MMO with RPG gameplay.
Thing is within each type of RPG they have their own cliches, norms and identified systems.
Quote: JRPG = an angsty teenager with god awful hair stuggling with groundless and poorly defined emotional problems through chapters of text boxes. WRPG = three hours of beating wolves to death in the rain in order to grab a handful of low-grade magical crap that you'll only sell a few minutes later. -"generic gamer"
Role Playing Games following a style popularized by Japanese developers. These games can be differentiated from Western RPGs by having most of the following points:
-Created in Japan (or, more recently, China, Taiwan, or South Korea), and translated into English (hopefully). -Generally found on consoles rather than a PC. -Tend to follow linear plots, with less of a Wide Open Sandbox setting. -The player usually controls a party of predesigned characters. The player is offered a choice of what characters to use, but not the option of designing his own protagonists. -The party members are usually written into the plot, rather than blank slates. -The lack of flexibility in character customization or nonlinear gameplay allows a more detailed and involving story. Hopefully. -Later games tend to have one or more elaborate, minigame-like "systems" (such as the License Grid in Final Fantasy XII) that allow skill and ability customization. -Random Encounters are a common gameplay element. -Turn-based combat is also prominent.
