You can badmouth the Playstation 3 all you want, but the system laid claim to the only 'A' title we gave out this year. Not only are the graphical difference between it and the Xbox 360 starting to show almost midway through this console cycle, but it also has several exclusive sleeper hits to boot. So even if it doesn't get dashboard updates as quickly as the Xbox 360 and doesn't have the same online capabilities as Xbox Live, the Playstation 3 has plenty to brag about.

"Deadpool is my kind of superhero. Even if he doesn't have the best attacks, the best stats, or the best backstory (and why doesn't he?), he still finds a place on my team. Why? Because he's probably as crazy as I am in the head and it sounds like he actually has fun being a superhero. Nearly every other superhero is overly serious, overly buff, or overly brooding. Yeah, I would totally go gay for... Wait, am I writing this out loud?" ~Deadpool

That's $60 for a game that can already last you more than 80+ hours without any DLC. |
