Beat Portal 2 a few days ago for ps3. It was seriously fantastic. Great atmosphere, hilarious writing (especially for a video-game), and clever as hell puzzles. Give it up for Valve. So far, I'm enjoying the co op even more, but I am waiting for a buddy to pick up the game, before completing it.

Just picked up the ps3 version of Fallout New Vegas. I loved Fallout 3 for a few weeks, but found it hard to go back to after taking a break. This one looks a little more colorful though, which is kind of up my alley.

New Vegas glitches like a motherf*cker. If you can put up with the constant freezing or getting stuck in the terrain than its a great game.

Problem with New Vegas is that Gamebryo was f*cked up to begin with and has some how only continued to get worse over time. Couple that with the fact that Obsidian, who has become notorious for putting out buggy half-complete games, was behind it and you've got a match made in jank-ass heaven.

That being said, I never had any problems with New Vegas on 360. Not that I played a ton of it. After all the Fallout 3 DLC I was kinda worn on the systems as a whole.

Obsidian sure does put out buggy games. The initial reviews which pounced all over the bugs kept me away initially....plus the fact that I had recently played Fallout 3, which is a pretty similar game.

Here's hoping most of the bugs have been patched, because I hear it's a really great experience. Seriously, I've gotta wish it luck after beating Portal 2. Any action game fans out there who are skeptical of playing a "Puzzle game"...Dont be.

so is anyone excited about Sony's NGP ( psp 2 )


http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/27/the-sony-psp2/



OLED Display , dual analog sticks , Trophy integration. it seems to have potential.

I know for me i never got used to the single analog stick on games like socom FTB

but , the GPS , " ps move " type controls , & front and rear cameras seem like a little much & gimmicky.

I assume it's gonna be really expensive when it releases.

i think i'll get one. seeing as though i don't want anything further to do with the "next-next-gen" systems, one of the things i was going to do was go with the new portables

It's all messed up for a lot of people. It's probably best just to wait, since everyone is probably trying to access it all at once and destroying the servers.

Saw a PS3 game on the sale rack a few months back and bought it but never put it in.

Demon Souls. I've never really heard of it. The guy at the game store said it was a very difficult. Anyone ever played it and maybe can give me an opinion?

I own it. I really dig it, but the clerk is right, its incredibly difficult.

I'd usually be turned off of a game because of it, but its part of the charm of Demon's Souls.

Its a neat game, but intended for a very small niche of people, I think. If you aren't easily frustrated, give it a go. Also, don't assume you're terrible at it if you die. A lot. That will happen. Its supposed to. You'll end up getting stronger, the more you play through levels.

I'm stoked for the quasi sequel coming to, Dark Souls.

The PS3 must have the WORST update system in history. I just got Modnation Racers on sale tonight, decided to throw it in to check it out before I called it a night. God damn thing has 9(!) updates, all of which need to go through the painfully slow download/install process. It wouldn't have been TOO annoying if the thing didn't keep saying my HDD didn't have enough space.

How the f*ck is it possible that I've filled up almost my entire 60GB hard drive on my original machine? I play maybe 3-4 PS3 games a year and have 4 PSone games downloaded on it. What the f*ck is going on that fills in all that space? My 250 GB 360 S still has almost 100GB left on it and that's with over a dozen games fully installed, nearly 100 XBLA games and crazy amounts of DLC. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so difficult just to look at exactly what's on the drive and what's taking up all the space so that I can just delete it, but apparently that either doesn't exist, or is buried so deep within the sh*tty XMB that I can't find it.

Peanut Im sure you already know to do this, but deleting your old game data helps, i had no idea how huge some of the installs were or that every game had them

So.. I hear that an Uncharted movie is being made. I couldn't find many details on the project but I did see that they had cast Mark Wahlberg but according to this link they are thinking of cutting him loose. Does anyone have any "new" info on the situation?

I like Wahlberg well enough but I feel he just isn't right for the role as Nathan Drake. If he is cast I probably won't be seeing the movie until it's in redbox or on the $5 rack at Walmart.

He's not involved anymore. He and DeNiro were only attached because the director wanted them. Was a package deal thing, and that guy left.

Thank ****.

I feel 'ya. It's a wreck in every way. Microsoft's got the most streamlined system. System update is like 30 seconds, TOPS. Nintendo's isn't totally broken, but Sony's is just embarrassing to the point of making me want to turn the damn thing off when I see the update screen. Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD demanded a 300MB patch. Hell, the damn game wasn't that big in the first place. What is all this sh*t we have to download?
