I bought a wii just for resident evil 4 even though i've finish it mulitple times on gamecube. Im just that addicted to Resident Evil. Well that other game which is first person view on wii. I didn't like, I never really like first person view mode thats why. Im now just waiting for the newest resident evil to come out on ps3.

Resident Evil is out on 360 as well plus a load of other top games Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto 4 or whatever it will be upto, Bioshock, Alan Wake etc

Plus the 360 will have a Blu Ray player in May which will operate as a standalone. Although you buy it seperately it's actually a better way to do it imo as you won't be using it to play games on as well.

Drives can wear out a lot quicker if you use them for everything.

Where is the info that FNR4 will be released?

Anyway, that PrizeFighter game comes out on Xbox360 and not PS3 as far as i know..

Anyway, Dizaster, I just started playing God of War for PS2, my cousin let me borrow it.. I haven't played a console game, or really and game in years but this one looked interesting and my cousin was really hyping up 1 and 2.. he said when i'm done with 1 to get 2 from him.. I'm only about a half hour or so in, just curious on your review of the game.

Come on guys someone convince me also that this is a good buy

One of my kids has a birthday coming up and i was relying on the PS3 to bail me out

as the spoilt little brats already have everyother console on the market, all the handheld ones and a laptop each

i risisted the urge to get them one for christmas as i didnt fancy seeing �50 disks getting trodden on by my new years visiting nepews and nices... but now i'm really struggling.

are you guys saying don't buy the PS3

If your at all technical Saddo get a 360. Just learn to mod it, my brother has done loads it's easy apparently and you never have to pay for any games.

GET THE PS3!!!

I got one a while back and you won't be dissapointed, great look, great graphics and have it flat or on it's side and a whole collection of cool games, in HD and comes witha wireless controller and 40gb or 60gb built in memory.

The best bi.: PLAY ONLINE FOR FREE!!! XBox uses have to pay �40 a year to play online when it is absoloutely free for PS3 uses, also the controllers are easy and great to hold unlike the big fat ones the X-BOX have with about 40 buttons on.

GET THE PS3!!!

**Saddo** · 02-22-2008 09:21 PM

Got a 360 mate might look into modding it.. but to be honest mate it would cut my berthday and christmas options right down if they had every game

God of War is probably my favourite console game of all time! THe fighting is great fun, the levels are awesome, graphics is great, story is great, actually takes a little while to finish and isn't over to quickly, leave you hanging for more... I love the atmosphere of it as well i.e. the settings of ancient greece and some of the larger worlds you can just get right into...

And trust me, God of War 2 doubles number 1 in every way when your up to it..

What do you think of it so far??

So far i just beat the first "level", the hydra.. And I REALLY like the atmosphere but I need to play it more to see how i like it.. A lot of games like that get redundant and you feel like you're just continuing to kill hordes of guys after hordes of guys etc..

I actually really enjoyed the old "Tomb Raider" games because there was a LOT of figuring out to do, and you could spend hours on just one level.. So not only did you have some cool weapons and vehicles and environments, but there was a lot of puzzle solving also.. God of War seems a little more straight forward which is good and bad..

But I heard that #2 is awesome.

**Dizaster** · 02-23-2008 05:24 AM

Yeah I see what you mean defiently... I think I liked the straight forward button mashing killing hoards and hoards of men as it's good stress releif after a hard day at work.. The story contiues on a little more, gets a little more puzzeling, not so linear so you have to do a little more exploring, and you get more different opponents... I've just starting playing 1 again the other day just out of boredom, and the first level is a bit mundane, but it does expand a lot more after 2 or 3 levels...

I might have to go down and hire Tomb Raider or Resident Evil as someone mentioned as I havn't played those..

I love the war type Medal of Honour games when they have really good missions, although all of them try to put a new spin on the genre, and none have really nailed it for me so far...
Return to Castle Wolfenstein's gameplay wasn't quite the best, but it had the best story and the levels were really cool... I hope they decide to go ahead with another one for the PS3 or xbox 360

I have a ps3 and a 360 and can tell you the ps3 is a better console, the online isn't as good but it keeps getting updated and its free.
assassins creed is good but repetitive.
you said you like the god of war games so you'd have that coming out end of this year/early next year.
Devil may cry 4 is great and it lasts you a long time.
And as for medal of honour, stuff that and get Call of duty 4.
Theres also games like haze and metal gear solid coming out which are exclusive to the ps3

If you haven't played Resident Evil (esp the original) then you need to.. Thing is, is that the graphics are REALLY outdated now, so it won't be as amazing as it was about 10 years ago.. As i said the Tomb Raiders (the early ones) are great also..

But if you want a great game for PS1.. METAL GEAR SOLID.. Probably one of my favorite games ever.. The story is great and it's a LOT of fun.. Tons of bosses in it and they all follow along with the story.. Mostly with each boss there are more and more concepts.. For example you fight a guy who reads your mind, so you have to unplug your controller from port 1 into port 2 so that he can't read your mind and you can defeat him.. it's good shit, i'd def look into it..

I played more God of War today and got pretty far into it.. You were dead on with saying that it gets better after a few levels.. The fact that you're constantly fighting different types of enemies is cool, plus you get those special attacks, but some work better on certain enemies and you have to figure out which to use on which etc.. I don't want to know if you do, but if you have to fight Ares at the end, I can't wait.

Are you on commission?

**Mark TKO** · 03-06-2008 12:40 PM

Went PS3 early January and just got rid of my xbox 360 last week

Got the PS3 set up on a home network so stream movies through it and my music along with playlists. Set this up in minutes whereas with the 360 I couldn't get it to work at all.

As they say online is free too - do admit though the games are not as good as 360 YET but that will change. Never been into having more than one console. Just finished Drake's Fortune which was a great game - was really hoping for a new Fight Night but don't look like its going to happen.

Anyway might be moving soon and here's what I am thinking of getting when I do as will finally have room for one
