Perhaps this is on/. because it is news. It is on/. because it just happened. Therefore/. is providing us with information that some of us may not have known. THAT is why it is mentioned...NOT because Google is almighty and/. is a bunch of fanboys. I for one thank them for pointing it out, because I had not noticed the new feature.
Hell, I don't know what you guys would do if they didn't post any Google articles for you to bitch about.
I think this problem stems from the same Spike TV issues. Gamers are stereotyped into A.D.D. MTV junkies. Therefore, we need a concise way of telling them what to buy. Nobody has time to READ anymore...sheesh.. reading...how antiquated...
Another idea that the current media does not agree with is people making up their own mind. Heaven forbid that we provide them details, and them having to say hmmm...maybe I'll check this out. No that stops right at the A+, or, 4*'s, or three-out-of-four Pac-Men.
I primarily use two sources when reading reviews, IGN and PLAY magazine. PLAY has been dealing with these same sentiments, and are trying various ways of "scoring" games. Their editors seem to be fed up with "the way of the business today." Their new system employs a star system. But in the same box they give succinct Pros & Cons that they saw. They also give a bio of the reviewer, basically telling what kind of games they enjoy so you can understand where any bias comes from.
I think it is a step in the right direction, but until there is nothing but an article it will be imperfect.
One last thing, IGN has now added "Industry Average" to their sidebar of a game review. This joins their own and the readers' review. It is nice to be able to see that all in one place.
...if this is where all the body armor and armor plating went to?
"Robot! Here is your +10 anti-missle uber armor! Happy hunting!"
"Soldier! Here is your state of the art flannel jacket. Good luck!"
"But why can't I get uber armor like the robot?"
"Get real, son! Do you know how much one of those robots cost?"
the XbOx (xbOX,xBOx,etc.) is a better system because the ps2 was out a year, year and a half before the xbox was released... which is eons in console terms... therefore better hardware. If I was Microsoft I would be wary of rushing a next generation console, and risk being trumped by the competitions better hardware. Sony already has the software support, if they had better hardware than the competition, it would not be a good thing for Microsoft.

Google:673,000 MSN:167,641 I have also noticed that if you place plus signs in between terms in MSN it finds the exact phrase, Google doesn't.
