For the uninitiated I started this blog some weeks ago about the games that I have been playing recently on my shiny PS3. I did this because of the constant ribbing we PS3 owners get from the 360 crowd about our lack of anything to play but folding@home! So here is edition 3 of my slightly entertaining blog!
This week has been a bit hectic for me, a lot of uni work has been due in and tests and just general going out, was in glasgow last nite to see Flood Of Red for example! However being the hardcore gamer I am I made sure to hit up my PSTriples for a good few hours this week, because of these distractions this will be shorter than normal, if only people cared enough to be disappointed!
The main thing I have been playing this week is actually a demo, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Incase our cousins from across the pond (that's you america!) didn't realise, or care for that matter, this game doesn't hit our shores until this friday. This sucks because I wish I was playing this game right now because the demo is excellent, it utitlises a very fluid control mechanism for movement which I find really helps you immerse yourself in the game. Obviously the graphics are underwear soilingly good as we all can see but the entire package just seems to fit together perfectly and is exactly the kind of quality ive come to expect of naughty dog. One thing I don't like however is the shooting mechanics, they seem a bit rigid and unrealistic to me but then again there are few games that have ever managed to recreate shooting someone in real life. Not that ive done that....*cough*
Another game I have been playing is Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools Of Destruction. This is another strong game on the PSTriples, it showcases what developers can do when they push the system and work with it for so long. As you may or may not know Insomniac developed this game, the same team behind launch title Resistance: Fall Of Man. Never have I came across such abuse of colons in game titles. They have long been a major developer for the playstation brand, just over 12 years I believe and as such have a good relationship with sony, but also a great grasp of the complexities of Sony hardware. They have excelled themselves with this title it just oozes quality, from the eye popping visuals down to the basic game controls. Everything just works and creates a engrossing universe into which you are dropped. Seriously if you've ever liked platformers, own a PS3 and have a bit of spare cash pick this up, you won't regret it!
Anyways back to the drudgery of university assignments and assesment, oh yey! /sarcasm
God speed!

lulz..nah Reaprar, i do mean another now stop trolling my cblong kthnxbye
Well, in Reaprar's defense, what other strong title have you played on the PS3? All I've heard of is Resistance, and it's well over a year old (which in videogame playing years is borderline never existed). With Drake and Unreal Tournament 3 not out, what else is there?
I'm not trolling, I'm being serious. What do you consider to have been a solid title for the system? Inquiring minds want to know.
see this is the kind of discrimination this cblog is trying to stop haha! Well in the defense of the ps3, my 13 game collection is the most ive owned for any console this early in its development, lets see. Theres Resistance(which i still play every other day), Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Ridge Racer 7, Eye of Judgement, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Skate.(my friends 60 version crashes all the time, my ps3 version doesnt), Virtua Fighter 5, Motorstorm, Tekken 5: Dark Ressurection online, fl0w, calling all cars, Rainbow Six Vegas, Oblivion, Ninja Gaiden Sigma....the list goes on, pick any one from that list but i think you'll find there are more than just 1 strong title for the ps3.
Uncharted is a damn good game. I just finished it and might post a review if I get the time. Ratchet has been really fun, but I'm nowhere close to finished yet because I've split gaming time between Uncharted and CoD4. I need to get back into Wednesday Night Warhawk with you guys so I'll be there this week. As for the PSN the only game I can recommend is Everyday Shooter.
Eye of Judgement: Greatest videogame guilty pleasure. Let me know when you want me to kick your ass in that game razor.
Only game on PS3 with in game XMB support.
@silverback, i look forward to your review man! I have to start Warhawking with you guys!
@Y0j1mb0: anytime man, anytime! drop me a line with ur PSN name and ill give u match!
I have to agree with the above comment, most of those games are really good. Exceptions would be Ridge Racer, flow, and the cross platforms (R6:V, Oblivion, .skate)
@king3vbo: I have to say i like those games, but then again that may just be my taste, vive la difference. also is it skate. or .skate? its always confused me.
Uncharted is sweet, the demo that is. At least you're getting it Friday. We're getting in on the 19th:(.
@ B-Radicate:
Folklore
Uncharted
Rachet & Clank
Heavenly Sword
Warhawk
Eye of Judgement
Don't even get me started on the cross platform titles.
Games I own on PS3:
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Heavenly Sword
Resistance Fall of Man
Calling All Cars
Warhawk
Stranglehold: Collectors Edition
Games I've beaten on my PS3:
Heavenly Sword
I really want Uncharted so I'll probably get that for Christmas. I could give two shits about Rachet & Clank because I've never played any game in the series.
Even if you haven't played any Ratchet & Clank games (this was also my first time playing them) it really is a well made platformer. Besides any game where I can use a disco ball to distract my enemies gets an automatic win.
Just because it isn't exclusive to the console doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Remember that children.
Oh, lists! I love lists.
And I have to agree that the PS3 is a solid system. However, in a world where we're not all rich and can't buy 2 consoles that pretty much do the same shit, the 360 would be the smarter choice (for now). Just because the year's exclusive list completely blows away Sony's and most 3rd party games seem to be a lot more solid on the 360.
I'm still concerned over what's to come for the 360. It seems that they blew their load all at once. I can only hope Alan Wake and Fable 2 don't flop. Me, personally, I don't mind. I live in Southern California. Trying to live is expensive so I can't always buy games. I can catch up to all I've missed.
Here's to a good console war, my dotcomrades! Competition means cheaper and better things for us all.
I have to say this is one of the more balanced and mature set of comments ive had from any of my cblogs, excluding the first one natch.
@vexed alex: yeah i have to agree with you, the 360 is a very strong and smart choice atm, they have a great a solid line up of titles. however as you say we're not all rich enough for this 2 console dealie and i went for the PS3 just cause it had the titles i wanted and i could play my large collection of ps1 and ps2 games on it. I have yet to regret my choice, im still largely making my way through my games and have given me many hours of entertainment, i just cant wait for next year to come. I plan on picking up a 360 sometime soon, but you do make a very valid point on the whole 360 line up for the future, it does seem as all the major titles were released this year. Im sure they will recover from that soon though.
You know you can always count on some type of halo sequel, PC ports and Gears 2, and if some very hopeful people are correct, MGS4 for your 360 alex.
Never have I came across such abuse of colons in game titles.
QFT! But it should say “come across”, not “came across”.
Yeah, I’ll probably be getting Uncharted for Christmas. One of my best friends said it’s the best PS3 game he has played this year. I loved the demo and can’t wait for the full game, but I’m swamped with other games right now. I just beat the campaign in CoD 4, so I’m about to break into the multiplayer. I’m on like the sixth tier of songs in Guitar Hero III, and I’m only on the third planet in Ratchet & Clank Future.
