 If you're the kind of gamer who fancies review stats, here's an interesting one for you: Konami and Kojima Productions' Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is now the second-highest rated game when it comes to console exclusive titles this generation.That's if Metacritic's compilation of review scores is to be made the basis. MGS4 averages a wicked 95 percent across the board, bowing only to Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii which racked up 97 percent. Not too shabby for a faded Solid Snake, eh? If you ask us, we'd agree that his last outing is a must-have if you own a PlayStation 3. Just check out our review if you want to know why. |

» that won't
stop them from "there is no good game on the PS3" crap that they like to throw around every chance they get.... they are just that stupid... i'm talking about blind xbots here and not all 360 supporters.

» there is no good game...
Just joking, but it can be said, as well as to nintendo and microsoft. ps3 does not have many good exclusives (uncharted, ratchet, resistance, mgs4) whereas wii has no good 3rd party (zack+wiki, no more heroes), and xbox has mostly fps, and a few driving. Glad it got great reviews accross the board, and surprised it outscored ninja gaiden, smash bros, and halo/gears

Bioshock was a timed exclusive for over a year. I think that should count probably count.

» Exclusive?
Not sure about this, but since it came out on PC doesn't that make it no longer a console exclusive?

True. Now that I thought about it I dont think a timed exclusive should count either. Well done to Kojima and Konami.

What was so great about Galaxy? Personally, I got tired of mario after the N64...Now they just put him in every game that's released for the system.

» Mario Galaxy
Mario Galaxy was fun. I'm not a big fan of platformers, but I had a great time with it. Level design was pretty insane. Makes you feel like a 9-year old again.
But I'm an MGS fan through and through, sp if I was to pick the better game between the two, you'll know where I'll go. :)

» mario galaxy was great,.
you have to be a fan of mario games before you can enjoy any mario title. as far as galaxy's platforming goes it was flawlessly perfect. mario galaxy has no flaws, people who find flaws in mario galaxy, have flaws. :P

And for a game that doesn't have a controllable camera, it has no view issues.
But MGS4 is equally great. XD

You shouldn't have to be a fan of Mario just to enjoy the game, that's just plain fanboyism. And personally, I think that's pathetic. In any case, I think you just might be kidding, I truly hope you are. And Glen D, I hope that first sentence is sarcasm as well, lol.

» OK
I'm happy for Konami and the MGS series. However, it is extremely pathetic that MGS4 is the second highest rated exclusive of the generation when I'm almost certain every video gamer knows that it is the best hands down. Personally, I was extremely surprised with some of the low scores that MGS4 got from some reviewers.

While it's a great game and I'm dying to get my hands on it, the story is too convoluted and may alienate some reviewers/gamers who don't follow the story line.

» what?
story is to convoluted? may alienate some gamers/reviewers who don't follow the story? its metal gear 4! of course you will be a little lost at first if you're not familiar with it. but seriously. what percentage of gamers do you think haven't at least played the first metal gear? and secondly. if you are a reviewer and you're not familiar with metal gear you need to find something else to do.
i have not played smg. how could it possibly be better then mgs4? i don't understand.

» you forget....
Nintendo has plenty of money to give reviewers "incentives" to rate their overhyped games higher.
Super Mario Galaxy a 97%? It's Mario 64 with big innovation "spherical worlds" combined with last gen graphics and of course the same gameplay!
Hideo Kojima has something Miamoto and the Nintendo morons don't, creativity!
There is a story, and it has a real world message about war, politics, etc.
No jump and hit your head on blocks, eat a mushroom, and grow big! That was fun in the 8 bit days but times have changed!

» please help
Can someone please help me. I can't seem to figure out which are the GOOD exclusive titles for the 360; Gears of Wars aside, that was a hot game. And please do not count Halo as a good game, GOW was wat halo should have been. So please help, cause i'm starting to think 360 owners get free dopamine injections with their purchase.

» WTH
So WTH then?! GOW aside, like i said it's worth buying a 360 for, why is everyone talking crap about the ps3 not having exclusives when the 360 exclusives are garbage. Halo was crap, mass effect was ok but nothing to call home for, and Bioshock isn't an exclusive anymore. All the really hot games are multiplatform i.e. Devil May Cry and THE CURRENT GOD OF GAMES COD4. I'm happy i bought my ps3 and only borrowed (stole) my 360 from my cousin.
