Fifa09 is clearly the best soccer game I have ever played. I dont like platformers but am really enjoying LBP at the moment.

P.S. Blue, do you think Resistance 2 is crap or the original as I am waiting for the 2nd one to be delivered.

welcome to the dark side, scotty

i championed resistance 1 around here, cause it did get better after the first few levels and had some unique mechanics that where cool such as the multi-segmant regenerating health and the weapon wheel; different from halo, it stood out with the later in particular as it harkened back to the days of doom where half the fun was getting a new weapon.... shit, a second playthrough even rewarded you with more new weapons and an expanded weapon wheel.....

Resistance 2..... oh dear. the two usp's above are replaced with hallo style health and halo style two weapon system. Plus, it is the most unfairly difficult and frustrating shooter i have played in a long time. there are sections you can not win unless you die abunch of times to work out where enemies spawn and then grenade those spots before they appear.

the graphics are excellent though (except for an abundance of invisible walls.... come on, it's 2008 ffs)

and 60 player online is mental.......
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside

and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

i dont know yet. it will be PS3 exclusives though as the 360 will still be my main platform.

ive downloaded ratchet & crank demo, and am currently downloading the demo for Uncharted. Unchrted looks really interesting, so itll probably be that next.

That is what I do, get all my games on 360 and then I buy every PS3 exclusive that looks good.

Uncharted is good and very cheap so is Ratchet & Clank.

Don't forget your 360 roots :(

MGS is one long post-modern exercise in gamer wank.


Personally, I loved it.


Scotty, if you like scary/horror games get Siren: blood curse. You can download the first three eps for about $12 I think... maybe less..

Then, just navigate to it in the games section of the XMB, let the 'promo' play, switch off all the lights in the house, and get absolutely fucking freaked out. Well, that's what I did. The games pretty good as well, if you like Jap horror.


Oh, and Linger in Spirits is cool if you ever dug the c64/amiga demo scene. It's not a game though.

Oh, BTW.

Big tip in case anyone hasn't worked it out - you can plug the USB cable into your Xbox to charge the Dualshock/Sixaxis; useful if you switch between the two consoles.....

Just seen an advert saying Domain are selling PS3 for $599 for the next 4 days. You should see if you can get that price matched at EB Scotty. It is within the 7 day period.

INITIAL PS3 IMPRESSIONS:


it's pretty ordinary in comparison to the 360 (not a flamewar... my opinion). I bought it for the few good games which aren't multiplatform (gamers shouldnt limit themselves to one console if they can afford to do so - miss out on some good games).

Little Big Planet is pretty cool, although im stuck on the first Africa level :( a friend of mine will be lending me some games next week (including MGS4 & GT Prologue).

I tried the demo for Uncharted & couldnt really get into it, but the Ratchet & Clank demo was fun - i might get that one (although no trophy support as yet!).

I'm not liking the controller - it is too light & my fingers slip off the L2 & R2 buttons

I would buy alot more PSN games if THEY HAD DEMO'S!

Not to completely ragg on my new purchase, the PS3 does do some things really well: 1) REAL prices on the PSN Store.... 2) Life with Playstation is very cool - i like checking out the weather in cities such as Vancouver. Also the Folding @ Home thing is cool to have in the background, 3) FREE customisation of the 'dashboard' is a good idea, 4) the machine is very quiet - you could leave it on all day & not know it

i'm not disappointed with the PS3, it is as i expected it would be: A good compliment to my 360
