So I’m looking at the year Xbox 360 had and just their overall journey from launch until now and I had to ask this question.

So Uncharted 3 is about a week away and the excitement is being built by the hour. Reviews of the game so far have been outstanding and almost confirms this years “Game of The Year” award is going to be one of the hardest ones to give out — ever. As it seems this will be one of the strongest fourth quarters in gaming, with Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3 and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim not even out yet.

So now I figured let me do a follow up to discuss another realization, which is, “Why is ‘throwing’ so hated in gaming”? I know a bunch of you want to address the “throwing situation”, most prevalent in the Streetfighter series. So gamers once again, LET YOUR VOICES BE HEARD!!!
In that article I likened gamers that play shooters “hating camping” as a parallel to gamers in the fighting genre –specifically Streetfighter hating ‘throwing’.
