Contrary to popular belief, we do not loathe Sony. Actually, we quite enjoy their products and are very much looking forward to the free PS3 consoles the company is going to send all of us. Microsoft, on the other hand, hates Sony with the scorn of a thousands years in hell. And that's when Msoft is being nice.

Speaking of nice, Microsoft does have a nice game blog, Gamerscore. It's run by John, Cesar and some other marketing guys I haven't yet met. The site is friendly and PG-13. My mom likes it.

Then, there's Ozymandias, which is written by Andre Vrignaud of the Xbox team. This is Microsoft's bitchy blog. While it's not Florian bitchy (nothing is), the site is unabashed in Sony pooh-poohing. From Blu-ray follies to PS3 problems, Andre takes great joy in posting every bad bit of news regarding Sony. Take a look at what Andre has to say about the Sony's Manager of Developer Relations quitting:

Mark was one of the best in developer relations, very well respected in the industry, and was instrumental in trying to get Sony Corporate to take developer support seriously. (Although I like to think Mark was following the example our Game Technology Group sets.) ;)

I do have to wonder how much of Sony's flailing was a part of this decision.

I count at least four snide jabs at Sony. If you lean extremely close to your monitor while reading the page, you can just make out the sound of Xbox honcho Peter Moore cackling in the background. Brian Ashcraft
