Whats up with 1up?

look at their most wanted games for 1/27/07.

1. Blacksite PS3
2. UT3 PC
3. Hour of Victory 360
4. Stranglehold 360
5. Splinter Cell DA PS3
6. UT3 PS3
7. UT3 360
8. Blacksite 360
9. FFVII PS3 (hasn't fallen off the list in 2 months!!!!)
10. Paper Mario N64 (thats a weird one)

both blacksite and UT3 for PS3 beat out their 360 couterparts. I though 1up typically bent over to the 360 side. Change of heart? Sucking up? Seriously think PS3 versions will be better?

Yes I realize PC version of UT3 beats both, but bare with me here.

FFVII has been on that list forever! I thought all rumors of it being remade were debunked?

It's 1up, they are always weird. I'm not so sure UT3 will be better on PC this time around, being the consoles will have a lot of power themselves.

You don't know 1up very well do you?

And my suggestion is to keep it that way, ignore them

If you mean me, thats what I do. I also don't go to their sites because its waaaay to slow to load.

I know 1up pretty well. They're the ones that confirmed a version of 360, stating they talked to devs. They force EA to come out again and say no Crysis for any console.

Do you know 1up?

[C.T.E.]

They want the Area 51 sequel most? Ok.................

[MiDNiGHTS]

If UT3 PS3 has keyboard/mouse support and mods like people have been saying, it will be very close to the PC counterpart.

[Mikleran]

Or, maybe 1Up is actually fair and just prefers games rather than consoles?

I know that might be a shock to some people...

Anyway Area 51 should be a cool game; can't beat H3, GTAIV etc etc for me but it should be good.

Exactly!!! I do the same with Gamepro and G4.T.V. They are all biased and spend the majority of their time talking about how great the Xbox 360 and Wii are. Getting them to say anything good about the PS3 is like pulling teeth to them.

PS3 60GB Owner! Play B3yond!!!

Not you big guy, the thread maker

Its threads like these that give this website a bad rep

The top games list is determined by page views, not how much 1up wants them.

It's something like that. The list changes daily. I can't see the 1up staff changing their minds daily on the games they most look forward to. It doesn't make any sense. Do you change your mind DAILY on what game you most look forward to? I doubt it.

I hear a lot of people talking about this site, but every time I go there it is real slow to load. Must be popular. I have really good high speed internet and I can't stand waiting for it to load

[GamerG]

whats wrong with 1up? I think their coverage is very good and not at all biased in favoyur of any console.. I just dont think they are shy of pointing out the bad things which is a good thing imo

[Sino]

It's funny ever since Jaffe complained about how slow it is to load 1up, it's been pretty fast to view the webpages after that.

[ShinMaruku]

Well if you listne to 1up yours they say it's jsutified now that VF and Motorstorm and others are comming and they are warming up to it. I wouldn't say they are baised just overly critical of the market leader.

[Morganator]

I can't say anything as I've never been to the site. But if it is slow then I have no reason to go on it.

[Me Myself and I]

They won't give the same respect to PS3 exclusives in their overall reporting of Sony stuff, so this changes nothing about their bias. Even Bill Gates would rate a multi-platform game high as long as it is on the X360.

I really don't take 1up seriously, they're always talking crap about the ps3 (which is fine ,that's they're opinion). Now I'm not sure about this, but now because OPM is not around here in the US they want to take over magazine sales(with EGM) by talking crap about the ps3 because that's what sells, even if your a ps3 fan or ms fan they want to sell to both because you have fanboys always debating about what 1up or EGM had to say. The way I see it they just want to take over mag sales. As for psm they actually had a article about ps3 vs. 360 and was very unbias. They pointed everything wrong and right about each console and what fitted best for the consumers. At the end of the article it was a draw(which I think was the right thing to do because it was cosumers who made the choice about what was best for them)and I totally agree with that. I own both consoles, but feel that the ps3 has a lot of room to work with. As for 1up, I don't listen to the podcast or go to there site anymore, but I do have a subcription with EGM that I will cancel at the end of the term because IMO there brown nosers( you can see the S*%@ running down they're nose) with MS and the Wii, but then again they just what sales.

[HAYLOALDAILO]

I dont like their one page reviews for games.

[CashMoney]

Shane is cool on there as the most level headed and genuine "Gamer", and Luke Smith is ok as well... he's hard on everything usually...

The rest are full-fledged trolls... Especially that wanker that made those remarks about Oblivion, who, at one time mentioned that you couldn't play DVD's in a Blu-Ray player, or something to that extent...

[Greek_CJ]

1up do seem to be biased toward the xbox360 especially luke

but they do have some good coverage

[darkswordsman]

1up hops around SO much on which console they support, they cant just support both.

[Pizza_Lover]

isn't stranglehold coming for ps3 as well? its weird how it's number 4 for 360 but nowhere on the chart for ps3.
