Empire: Total War
Sad, pathetic thing about Tom Chick's review on Crispy Gamer: Every time someone posts a link to it in CA's official forums it gets deleted. Furthermore, the board's administrator came out and said the review was nothing more than a rant and almost devoid of any information about the game.

Empire: Total War
Tom Chick has always been a proper reviewer.

The Spoony Experiment
The tactical FPS genre really deserves mroe love, but with SWAT gone and Rainbow 6 having been kicked in the head by the marketing department, the genre seems to be, for all intents, dead.

The Spoony Experiment
(on SWAT 4) "A predecessor to the Rainbow Six series." Wat? Edit: After I saw some of his earlier reviews, I remembered him. While a lot of his criticisms of FFVIII are more than valid, the generic criticism (which everyone makes) that it is boring and grindtastic is, not only wrong, but really stupid if you're going to defend any FF game in opposition to VIII. If you actually use your brain when playing, FFVIII eventually becomes the Final Fantasy game with less grind ever. The bit about the dog's name was awesome, though.

Empire: Total War
The AI is completely incapable of launching invasions over sea. Not only is this massive and literally game breaking as far as the campaign is concerned, but also, the exact same bug was in the original release of Medieval 2. It's like they either didn't do any QA, at all, or they just didn't care about it. Either way, it's bloody unnerving and the AI is retarded enough without this bug. In fact the AI is like one giant bug. Also, it turns out the battle map no longer reflects the battle's location in the campaign map, so no more using the terrain to gain an advantage over the AI, for example. Not a bug, as such, but the removal of what was a fundamental feature in previous iterations of the game.

Why is it that CA always releases its games with the same forking game breaking bugs? And why don't reviewers ever notice these bugs?

I personally think you underrated it. The way the slums and its denizens are portrayed is simply incredible, the camerawork kicks ass, and they manage to depict the drug problems and the whole mess of a social situation without judging or demonizing anyone, even Z

So, Resident Evil 5 is pretty good!
For enjoyable co-op all that is required is a game that isn't broken. Even that Big Rigs game would be fun if it had co-op.

Will there be a difference in texture quality between different platforms?

Empire: Total War
Well, the game is at aleast as good as previous Total Wars but, again, it is seriously let down by the AI. I mean, it's like, again, they didn't do any work whaqtsoever on the AI, which in a grand strategy game such as this one is pretty unforgivable.

Actually, looking at it again, obviously the top picture is from the PS3 version. I'd like to think that the nicer looking, E3 picture is from the PC version. Anyway, isn't the PS3 better able to handle larger textures, compared to the 360?
-

I'd say it's due to the newer one being the 360 version, but I could be wrong.
