And it's Sony's games that really, truly impressed. From the supple renaissance-era details of Assassin's Creed II to the haunting storybook scope of The Last Guardian to the epic brutality of God of War III, it's becoming more and more clear just why videogames make so much more money than even the most successful Hollywood blockbusters. Nintendo's games looked like they were super fun to play, but it was dry as toast watching other people play them. Not so Sony's games; shot and paced like top-of-the-line movies, I could happily watch someone else playing these (quite intimidatingly complex) games for hours. To wit, embedded below is the (slightly NSFW) demo for the PS3's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves -- tell me by the end you aren't thinking it's more fun than Terminator Salvation and X-Men Origins: Wolverine combined. (For comparison, after the jump I've embedded the demo for Nintendo's new Super Mario Bros. Wii -- tell me how long you lasted before clicking "stop.")

A xbot who thinks anyone who enjoys a sony game is an sonybot at evilbore, who would've assumed that ::)

:lol
edit: ah am nintendo comparing sports to videogames again. ::)Well no, I'm comparing watching them. I mean, there's not really any sport in the world that's funner to watch than to play.
I don't deny that watching games being played can be enjoyable, but to actually consider it as a parameter in comparisons is just wrong imo, especially if the game in question is really good.
Watching people play games sometimes annoys the shit out of me because I generally like to see every nook and cranny to a satisfying degree.

Why are you bringing professional sports into this?
