    The logic (or the lack there of) of licensing all these cars only to make them look like sh*t baffles me.

    Lower rendering quality? That's fine, but WTF is up with the proportions? #needforspeednitro

    @Pessimippopotamus: Y'now, there are 'graphics aren't everything' arguments to be made, but you've got a point. This game's at least partly targeted towards car nuts, who will appreciate an accurate rendering of their particular favourites.

    The cartoony look helps with people, but not so much with cars. #needforspeednitro

    All the haters are out in full force because the game doesn't look realistic/brown.

    @twinturbo2: What kind of crack are you smoking? I was being sarcastic about my statement. Obviously I wasn't playing the game in my head. I wasn't bashing the game at all. I was bashing the people who bash the game before they play it. Reading comprehension FAIL.

    I also mentioned below that NSMB is a force to be reckoned with. So, I'm really excited for NSMB and I'm bashing games with unrealistic graphics?

    "This soundtrack musically exemplifies the intensity, attitude and adrenaline of Need for Speed NITRO," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing at EA. "This energetic collection of rock, electronic and hip hop, matches the incredible speed and intensity of a game experience players will never forget."

    I'm uncomfortable with the amount of NFS games being pooped out on a regular these days.

    @D-K, has mastered the dim-mak candlepunch: Not very nice of you to say they "pooped" this out.

    That would imply that there was some digestion/work involved here.

    The verb you are looking for is "puked". #needforspeednitro

    @D-K, has mastered the dim-mak candlepunch: @Yossarian: I'm not going to disagree that the series went downhill after 3. Most Wanted and Underground 1 were fun, and honestly they were all that I played of NFS since 3 and until Shift. Shift is pretty good, I just wish they'd stop excreting new games and beef up the ones they've just put out (aside from absurd amounts of overcosted DLC and full-game unlocks). #needforspeednitro

    Sorry to disagree Fahey but there's still a LOT of games coming this fall for gamers of every stripe.

    Personally I've been glad for all of the delays, it means there will be more time and money to dedicate towards the 15 other games I want to buy between September and December, and that come this spring my plate will continue to stay full with quality new releases.

    Thank God publishers are finally realizing that not every major game franchise needs to hit the marketplace within six weeks of one another.

    I don't know about this "...crowded fall game season that doesn't really exist anymore." assessment. According to the chart (a couple links in) I'm counting more than two major releases a week starting in September. And by major releases I'm talking CoD, L4D, Halo, Splinter Cell, Brutal Legend; Super Mario Bros. Wii and more on that level.

    I think the delays might be getting to your head if you think this fall won't have tons of titles that could have broken the back of Dark Voids sales without breaking a sweat.

    Seems to me the excuse holds up okay.

    @MDX:

    I dont see 10 AAA games yet, there is always a lot of hype over a new IP, but face it most games dont stack up to a AAA game. thats why there is a triple A ranking.

    As for Old IP, yes some do get a triple A ranking before hand but thats just past sucsess they are riding on and for the most part they live up to their name, but there to many new IP to say there are 10 triple AAA comming this fall

    I will say that, the more games that pull out the better the remaining titles will do, historicly the Holiday season is has a batter return then any time else, and its a larger return differnce in money.

    2- Halo ODST
    3- Brutal Legend
    4- Uncharted 2
    5- Dragon Age
    6- Modern Warfare 2
    7- Borderlands (potentially AAA IMO)
    8- Tekken 6
    9- Assassin's Creed 2
    10- Left 4 Dead 2
    11- At least 4 solid looking racing games including Forza 3, Blur, NFS: Shift, Split Second, & DIRT 2.

    Not to mention Operatin Flashpoint 2, Demon's Souls, NHL, FIFA, Batman, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Rachet & Clank, Alpha Protocol, Muramasa, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2... all of which could wind up being solid titles. I'm sure I'm forgetting at least a couple...

    I'm sorry internet, but what's that about there not being enough games shipping this holiday season?

    STFU ya bunch of spoiled whiners. There's never been a better time to be a gamer.
