The Aggie CEO @ Dec 3rd 2008 10:29AM

lol......fact....

too many of us Americans are stuck on the terrorist thing and someone would most def take it the wrong way.......

hurricane @ Dec 3rd 2008 1:58PM

I wouldn't say "can't", due to the fact that Fallout 3 ads were in the metros in DC...

y3k.nik @ Dec 3rd 2008 9:56AM

Future"360" made that for PS3? Am I the only one seeing the irony?

KingKRule @ Dec 3rd 2008 10:40AM

The News is relative noob. Its only news to those who haven't heard. And I am one of those people.

rgoff31 @ Dec 3rd 2008 10:04AM

They need to release a demo and lots and lots of videos & themes etc...

Popfrogs @ Dec 3rd 2008 10:07AM

Yeah I'm pinching pennies after buying LBP, Dead Space, Fallout3 and Socom:Confrontation. If I played a demo I might go ahead and pick it up.

Ty @ Dec 3rd 2008 10:10AM

Woot go Toronto!

OddyOh @ Dec 3rd 2008 1:03PM

That's what I thought..."Toronto in Flames"...Chimera Attack, eh? :)

nakedatthecomp @ Dec 3rd 2008 8:09PM

haha i saw that and was like "wtf?! what does that have to do anything?!"
(for the record, i have not beat the game yet, but i'd be surprised if there's anything about t-dot in the game, haha)

Dan Rabot @ Dec 3rd 2008 10:22AM

Give me a demo, change my mind. I want you to.

Brian @ Dec 3rd 2008 11:00AM

Just buy it, lots of fun and cheap as chips.

I.AM.IRON.MAN @ Dec 3rd 2008 10:23AM

WOW! Sony have actually advertised one of their games... and somewhere that someone might see them too! now that's what i call news!

blkant @ Dec 3rd 2008 10:37AM

While I'm sure europe loves the idea of america being attacked, R2 sucks too much to get anyone to buy it. Even with the idea of attacking america hehe.

Phortex @ Dec 3rd 2008 11:18AM

Yeah, R2 sucks... with a gamerscore on 8,8 ofc it's a sucky game... all gamer magazines are wrong.

And why would we want america to be attacked? you are just plain stupid man
