well one thing that i have noticed of sony\'s games (ps2) compared to (xbox) games...i think the movements of the characters in certain games are more lifelike in the sony games,...alot of the games i\'ve seen on the box look great, but some of the movements just looked mechanical,...while gears of war looks good,..some of the videos i\'ve seen of it, at least the physics of it just looks mechanical with no real smooth movements, on the original xbox, i\'ve seen this with jade\'s empire,...both great looking games with mechanical movements.....games from sony\'s camp that look good and play very smoothly,...the first devil may cry, and god of war....i think sony has the edge when it comes to physics....but this is just my simple observation....even "rise to honor" had great physics and smooth gameplay....they could\'ve ditched the sneaking around levels tho....<-----i know it\'s called another term but my mind just went blank...i need to get some sleep....
