RE: graphics?

Do you guys ever wonder if the companies pay the magazines to give them a good score or the other system a bad score, ive thought that many times when EGM gives what i thought a good score a bad review.

RE: Record number of Hits

IGN say: It's more depending on third-parties to do that job, and several of them haven't done that great of a task, either."

Did they forget that Sony had never make any games? (yes they did but ....... the one i remember .... is extra inning for the ... SNES!) and Sony only have 3rd partie

IGN say: There's only one "must-have" game for the system, and it's mostly a recycling of a game that Nintendo produced ten years ago.

Did they forget that making a game take almost 1 year and more ......

I'm suprised you guys aren't hounding 1up.com. I think they are even more biased towards the DS then IGN. If you get some time take a look around at their DS reviews and feel their general attitude towards the DS, its almost disgusting.

i would expect better from the people who are payed to play video games and review them. they, of all people, should know that graphics aren't gonna make the game fun.

In all honesty, besides Mario and maybe Feel The Magic XY/XX, there aren't really any "MUST HAVE GO BUY THIS SYSTEM NOW" type titles for it. Sure, if you got one, and have the good games for it, you should be happy, but the current titles out now are nothing to get really excited over (except for the two titles I listed...and First Hunt)

So basically, if you don't have it now, it's nothing to fret over, but if you do, you can easily be content with what's availble (as long as you pick the right titles)
