Yeah, you might be right. When I brought my PS3 into my living room where the router is and got online with it, I saw the 'greatest hits' games in their version of marketplace.

Man I really wish my PS3 had Wi-Fi, so I could play PS3 online without having to take my PS3 into my living room.

While the PS3 might not be a choice for gamers, hackers might have some fun with these machines! The processor power and the strength of Linux...

Pretty interesting article, another reason why games are bad for society.

Dang, it's too bad that some bad people are smart enough to figure this kind of stuff out.

Remember back when it was said that the PS2 could be used to launch missles? That's deep.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 12-08-2007, 02:52 AM

I'm thinking about future PS3 games worth getting (or Christmas bagging). Who here has played Naughty Dog's Drake's Fortune, and just how good is it?

Jed · 12-08-2007, 07:55 AM

I played the demo and judging from that I'd say it's fun for a while and then gets pretty repetitive. I'm still really tempted to get it but I'll wait and see if someone gets me it for Christmas.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 12-08-2007, 01:26 PM

It seems story driven by nature, so the repetitive gameplay wouldn't affect me.

Peanut · 12-08-2007, 02:35 PM

I've heard it's one of the PS3's better games. I haven't given it a shot yet, as I'm expecting it for Christmas. Janus played it, though, and he said it was really really awesome. I believe him.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 12-08-2007, 04:46 PM

Good. I had hoped it would turn out, because the thing was a mess at E3 (did the hands-on). It was loaded with crash bugs, had horrible aiming controls, and and the cinemas continually lagged. I guess Naughty Dog cleaned it up.

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 12-08-2007, 11:48 PM

I might get Drake's Fortune, I'm not sure yet. Hmm.... It's like Tomb Raider, right?

Peanut · 12-09-2007, 10:28 AM

I've heard it compared to a mash-up of Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia, mixed in with very Gears of War-like gun play.

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 12-11-2007, 09:20 PM

Oh ok, thanks for the info. By Gears of War gun play does that include finding cover or is it just the targeting system?

*Cure* · 12-12-2007, 03:24 PM

I thought I'd put this here. According to GreenPeace, consoles are killing the Earth. In all honesty, that video is ROFLtastic.

The combat system does start to get a little repetitive, but before it really started to bother me, something unexpected happens in the game which mixes things up again combat wise.

It's very story driven, but the gameplay is still strong too.

Oh no, the final product is very well polished.

Yes, cover plays a pivotal role for the majority of the game.

I agree that it is deffinitely one of the PS3's better games at the moment. I wouldn't say that it's one of the best games ever made, but if I were to look at each individual aspect of the game I would say that it is either good or great. I can't really think of anything bad in the game.

Tycho has a pretty accurate microreview up on PA.

I really can't wait to play it. I'd probably already own it by now, if not for the fact that my parents INSISTED that I ask for at least a little something for Christmas. I'm sure it'll be great, and playing my PS3 again is something I'm looking forward to.

My PS3 collection is just pathetic. I owned all the noteworthy games at one point, but those games had to suffer in my pre-Halo 3 RROD crisis. The only loss I lament is Motorstorm, though. The only one I still currently have is Heavenly Sword, which I absolutely loved. I actually started playing it through again earlier today, and I still love it so much, so the recent news that they're planning on making a (surprise!) trilogy really makes me happy.

That whole last paragraph was just an excuse for me to talk about how awesome Heavenly Sword was again. Excuse me for that.

**Barkworm** · 12-15-2007, 05:32 AM

While watching the 1up show I noticed that Ready at Dawn's Ru Weerasuriya and I are the same person! Which is great, I didn't even know that I was into programming and ****.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 12-17-2007, 10:30 PM

Ok so I was returning something at BestBuy and an old lady walked out with 10 PS3s!!!! 10!!!! They're not hard to find so she can't be selling them on eBay...she's also old so she probably doesn't know how. Could she possibly have 10 grandkids? I don't know what else to think.

Happened at my work every few months. She probably works for a company that does fund raisers and those are raffle prizes. I've also seen them buy 15 360s. It's actually rather common.

Would someone mind telling me what the hell that's supposed to mean?

You can use the PSP as a controller for PSX games. All downloaded, some discs.

*Dr. Doom* · 12-18-2007, 08:29 PM

I didn't even know you could download old PSX games to the PS3.
