I bet you didn't think I notice but I have...How you keep on putting up PS3 versions of multi platform games...you trying to give Sony a helping hand with their latest news of 32% decrease in sales which was reported over at MCV?

Oh dear - how much more street fighter cr@p will they be shovelling on? It's just a frickin fighting game. Not like there's any depth to the damn thing. Compare / contrast with Fallout, Fable, Little Big Planet, Gears of War, Resistance, etc.

Yes, it might work quite well as far as these things go. But think about how much effort went into any of those other titles, and how much you get back from playing them. Great story, stunning visuals, and a sense of achievement way beyond "look I got a super combo hit on that muscly bloke with my delicate manga girl".

Hehe! No, actually I quite like a bit of Tekken or whatever. I just don't get the wild-eyed fascination that some appear to have - or that Capcom try to engender or suggest might exist.

But mainly I can't fathom the disparity (to my mind). Fable 2 is frickin awesome - many hours of fabulous, beautiful gaming. Molyneux needs a knighthood. Little Big Planet - amazing, and offshoots from Molyneux. Far Cry - deep, involving gameplay but plenty of action too. I could go on.

Fighting games. Um. Not that deep.
