Good games?? Resistance/Motorstorm/GoW2 aren't exactly chopped liver,

That GoW2 is a PS2 exclusive and you're listing it with the best PS3
games as a next-gen system seller speaks volumes...

....which you can play on a PS3, of course...please note the 3-game
grouping...obviously I wouldn't procure a PS3 just to play GoW2...

Resistence? Good luck with that. It's not nearly so pretty when you
get to actually play it. Motorstorm? A distraction at best, not nearly
as good as hoped for, and very samey throughout. THe cartoon physics
hardly make up for the crappy gameplay faults like sudden unexplained
explosions and poor track design.

GOW2? A PS2 game, idiot.

Do you not read...all three TOGETHER make a compelling argument to
buy a PS3....I know GoW2 is a PS2 game (which plays on a PS3)....your
XBox fanboism knows no bounds...
