                  It had better guns. That is the only superior thing about mw2 : RetroRedEyeJr

        I love these bits - Monday, before Homefront gets released:
        
        "Guess there's no good game coming out. I've seen enough of HomeFront youtubes to know what boring game play is in store for everyone. Even the multiplayer looks awful. THQ is dumping so much money into this games advertising, and it'll probably be a mediocre game. It's already gotten a 5/10 in a review so that's not starting off very well."
        
        Hmm, doesn't sound like Batmanshack is a potential customer right? WRONG - he couldn't help himself and bought the game, even though he knew he hated it from Youtube videos- this post is 5 days later:
        
        "I for one did not enjoy this game at all, THQ calls this game "Biggest title in the industry" (check Joystiq.com) All they managed to do is con everyone to preorder it in hopes for some GREAT game they promised and the game doesn't deliver. The games even got freezing problems with both 360/ps3 versions. If anything I'd rather not see people waste their money on this game, it's short, bad game play and a multiplayer that's just not worth it. But yet they are already working on a second one "promising a longer game", I mean are you serious? So thanks everyone for wasting 60 bucks on this one we'll make up for it next time! This isn't a troll statement it's just the truth about this game, don't buy it..."
