[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 3770186, member: 4779"] Yeah, they both came out in November, so exactly one year between launch and must-have game. Heavenly Sword was always a game that I thought would be solid, especially considering the lukewarm hype. The early previews looked impressive for it but it lacked even showing a level for at least a year. It was a big release and a system seller for some, but not a must have. Lair is the huge disappointment to me. I went from looking forward to it to not even considering it once I heard about all the control issues. I don't have time for that kind of frustration. I should probably rent it and see for myself but I haven't rented a game in years so that is unlikely to happen. I think you are right, they are 1.5 for 3. Lair bombed, HS is good and Warhawk appears to be awesome. I'd actually count that as 2 for 3 but if we are looking for system sellers, the 1.5 is more accurate. Not a big deal as the system needs just one must have title that we haven't seen yet. But an actual game selection that spans different genres is also something big for the PS3. Sony's consoles are known for covering the widest span of genres. The game selection is getting better veeeerrrrry slowly, too. I also think it's safe to say that just about anyone buying a new, larger HDTV will want one for the Blu-Ray 1080p. [/QUOTE]
