How so? If anything, it looks like a good chunk of the stuff that was wrong with RE5 blown out to the nth degree.

The only real encouraging thing has been them dropping the mandatory co-op.

I hated that about 5. You always had to depend on a partner and in my opinion that killed some of the fear factor knowing that you had somebody backing you up if you know... fucked up. I had no fear playing that game but I had tons of annoying moments like when I would be in a smart place and Sheva would go ALL THE WAY around the structure instead of just going where I went. I would sometimes be low on health and Sheva would get struck by the chainsaw dude or whatever. I am forced to go all the way to her on low health just to save her but I normally never make it. Normally I drop over dead and all my progress goes into the shit-er.

Yeah, I really don't understand the industry's insistence on turning every friggin' game into some sort of hand-holding, songs-around-the-campfire bonding session. It makes even less sense in the context of a survival horror game when a good chunk of the effectiveness is derived from isolation.

So, I got me a 3DS XL, and I love it to pieces. The system has a nice weight to it, and my hands aren't getting all cramped and mangled like they were with the OG model. All that new screen real estate is pretty swank, too, even if it comes at the cost of losing a little sharpness.

PS3 they are great

[Iron Ape]

Yeah, I'd go PS3. Waaaaaaaaaaay better library of exclusives, and they don't charge for online.

However, if getting called a "queer" from some 12 year old mouth-breather from Punxsutawney is your idea of a good time, then the 360 is probably your best bet.

[bearkg88]

Yeah. Infamous 1 and 2 the God of War series and the uncharted series have caught my eye . The only exclusive I liked for the 360 was halo.

PS3 is good, and you get free PSN. But Xbox has got better graphics apparently.

[Iron Ape]

That's technically false. The PS3 is more powerful, but harder to develop for. So if there's a significant disparity in graphics between the two machines (there usually isn't), it's not because of the console.
