God, that is a bloated writing team. The only two that got any exposure whatsoever were Shane and Milkman. And Toastyfrog, before he apparently left (Jeremy Parish). Eh, whatever though, site was dog slow, badly designed, and all around annoying.
Also, I linked to this I think in the War Recruitment thread? Maybe the thread in gen disc. Bleh. I don't remember. Unimportant, really.
Edit: I clicked that link that said they didn't pick my favorite game for their top ten/GOTY thing. That top ten reads to me like they made sure they picked EVERYONE'S favorite games. Also, wow, Fable 2. Really. Really. The Auto-RPG. The closest thing I've ever played to actual progressquest.

They had just started reviewing PC games. EGM and I were going places. We were going places together.

It's a shame since I thought 1Up had some decent writers and podcasts. It wasn't the same after Shawn Elliot and Jeff Green left though.

Too much crappy 360 games love, and one embarrassing fanboi to defend Sony.
That's all I ever got out of them.

I'll miss EGM. I haven't actually read it in years but it was the magazine which opened my eyes to the actual industry.

I think you just described this forum. We have at least 5 or 10 embarassing PS3 fanbois. That said, I'm pretty sure most of us think the Wii fanbois are more embarassing :) |

You went for the slow load times but you stayed for the mediocre games journalism?

I liked their podcasts, and the people themselves were pretty cool. Their front-page content, though, was often lacking in substance.

See, that's the thing. I can appreciate the PS3 for the really nice machine that it is. Hell, if I were without a current gen console at the moment this is the one I'd pick up. The PS3's problem is that it doesn't bring enough different to the table for me to justify it's purchase when I already have a 360. The Wii, however, is inexcusable. |

I'm one of the non-embarassing ones, right? The PS3's problem is that it doesn't bring enough different to the table for me to justify it's purchase when I already have a 360.
I think you meant to say "when I already have had several 360s." |

This totally made me sad when I heard it. I did love the suite of podcasts (some more than others), but the post-Jeff Green/Shawn Elliott GFW Radio podcast just was not the same.
Jeff and Shawn MADE that show, as well as 1UP Yours when they were on it.
1UP Yours was still a good show, though, all things considered. Retronauts is continuing, at least.

Blu-Ray. Not prone to breaking. Better controller. Better exclusives. Hard drive standard. Free online service. |

Blu-ray (if you're talking simply for watching movies) is becoming a non-factor in the console wars due to price drops on stand-alone players.
Controllers are debatable.
Better exclusives is really debatable, and even then it's only debatable if you assume everyone has a good PC.
Hard Drive standard... well it allows for developers to make installs mandatory on the PS3 for seemingly minor benefit. Other than that, I'm not sure what impact it's had either way.

Nathan Drake will kick you right in the gob. As a matter of personal preference, LBP is really the only PS3 exclusive currently available that I care much about. Uncharted is a good game and all, but the gameplay isn't far removed from the Gears of War games which I prefer largely due to co-op. |

Pretty easy to understand. Uncharted and Gears of War are both primarily third person shooters focusing heavily on getting behind cover and the popping out and shooting. The only way that type of game interests me at all is playing through in co-op. One of these series has co-op and multiplayer. One of them does not. |

Uncharted focuses heavily on story, personality, and directed action. Whereas Gears of War focuses mainly on training you to be a racist dickbag online.
They both happen to involve a cover mechanic and guns.
I could put some of that in green, but then I'd be hiding my opinion. Uncharted should not be played for the combat though.
