Just finished inFamous, was pretty awesome but not without its flaws. Theres some really tedious and mundane missions, it just gets really annoying on some of them. Also, its REALLY easy to die is this game which is more frustrating than anything. But it does do a lot right and story comes together nicely at the end and some of the powers are just damn cool. The city was well designed and the presentation was slick. It ran smoothly but maybe wasn't as pretty as some other PS3 titles, well worth a play though.

I am now online with my PS3, tried GhostBusters and Little Big Planet so far quite good. My ID for online gaming is MrDLG.

Now online one of the best things is the iPlayer in full screen, nice bonus. Will probably get my family a PS3 for Christmas now as it is the whole multimedia thing with Blu Ray, iPlayer and more. Also my mum had a go on Little Big Planet and actually played it instead of having no interest in games what so ever as usual.

how do i create a sub account? thanks for your help, but i'm completely new to all of this

Can anyone reccomend a decent racing/driving game, preferrably a 2 player game? Ive tried the F1 game but seeing as its 3 years old I dont see the point. Gran Turismo looks OK but it says its just 1 player!

Not too many good ones out there.
I'd personally recommend Motorstorm Pacific or GRID perhaps?

Any one tried iPlayer on PS3. It's one of my favourite parts of online PS3 having it full screen is great.

Are there any other sites that can stream stuff full screen?

I'd personally recommend Motorstorm Pacific Rift.

Tried this earlier for the first time and loved it!

It's the thing about the PS3 that I was really impressed with as it was a nice suprise and extra.

I put some of my pictures from IOW festival on the hard drive, and on HD TV they look great. Trying to put films on it tonight.

Any exciting new games out soon?

Is UFC any good?

I'm up to the last level of Bound In Blood: Call Of Juarez. It's a really solid FPS with amazing graphics and while it's not the greatest most original game I fucking love it because it's got a Western theme, a movie-like score and a really good story. I think for me if you get an average/pretty good game and give it a Western theme I'm gonna' love it no matter what. There is also a quick draw system in it which is quite challenging but alot of fun.

I caved in and got a PS3 today, along with MGS4, Little Big Planet (was a bundled choice), Uncharted:Drake's Fortune and Killzone 2. I'll be setting it up in a few minutes but will have to wait until tomorrow to get online up and running.

Traitor

Dn't be embarrassed, LittleBigPlanet is fucking brilliant.

I'm not embarrassed by any means. It was the best of the four on offer apart from COD4 and I already play too much of that on the 360. I only really bought it for the exclusives and the Project Ico goody that's coming up.

You only nearly did.

I still got the 360. Heh.

I am thinking about getting a new TV, will be my first HD Ready one etc plus I just got a PS3 a couple of months ago and the one I have at the minute doesn't have freeview built in so would rather have this when the whole digital switchover happens (I'm pretty crap with all this technology stuff so excuse me if none of that makes sense) Anyway a couple of questions...

1. I was just looking at HDMI cables on ebay for use with the PS3 and theres some as cheap as £1.50. How much should these cables usually cost and what is the chance that these cheap ones would be any good?

2. Any ideas what I can do with my old TV that would get the most money for it? It is about 2 years old, flatscreen/LCD Hitachi pretty standard TV

My understanding of it is that the difference between the most expensive and the cheapest types of HDMI cable is minimal. I'm sure Remlap wouldn't agree.

Got Tomb Raider: Underworld, Tom Clancy's HAWX & The Wheelman from Lovefilm.com today.

Wheelman is quite an exciting action game with some cool driving sequences and fast paced gameplay. The voicing isn't anything to write home about and the plot isn't even good enough to be considered subpar. I'm dreading what the film will turn out like.

I have only had a short play of Tomb Raider Underworld and it's the typical Tomb Raider game in all honesty. I'm not a big fan of the puzzle solving type games so really don't know why I put it on my rentals list so I probably wont be going back to it. Graphical quality, however, is good.

I had a go of the HAWX demo and it's an exciting game with some great visuals but haven't come around to playing the actual game yet. Might give it a go tomorrow.

Wheelman is beyond shit. its the ONLY game i own i have said fuck this and put it back in the pile never to be touched again.

Tomb Raider is 1 of the best Tomb Raider games i have played since the 1st and 2nd 1 all those years ago. Its fun and not as frustrating as the other games.

Im back on UFC now the fuckers cant quit! They have made submissions allot easier as well which is fine by me as i could do the old 1's.

Game i have played this week are.

Hellboy its painfully MEH, Its defo license cash in, but the fact it is Hellboy kept me interested.

Wanted, Fun but oh so fucking annoying. When you are in cover avoiding fire from 1 direction lets say north., you get the cam view of what ever is behind you (your back is up vs somethings so the cam is still pointing north), Some random bad guy starts shooting you from outside of your vision, which would be south and just off cam, rather then just being able to shoot him (he is 4 yards infront of you) you have to get up kill him and go back in cover. Stupid why you cant just blast him while still covering from fire coming the other way i have no idea.

Uncharted. finished this again as watching the demos for the 2nd 1 got me in the mood to have a re-vist on this. Amazing game and was overlooked big time. Still dont understand how a mini Army managed to make there way into the jungle thing.

I didn't know they had updated it but haven't been on it for a while so I guess that's why. Is playing it better now you don't get the quitters?

Wanted should be coming soon and I enjoyed the demo so I'm looking forward to it.

You are 100% right. There is no difference in the quality of HDMI cable.

I got UFC yesterday in game. It's in offer for £25 and when I gave my Game car I had 7.50 on it woo! I think the career is a bit boring, but have enjoyed the online ranked fights. My record is 2-2 at the mo. The graphics are great and really liking the gameplay. There is a definate lack of modes but I'm not complaining for 17.50. Plus what are they gonna add? A ladder match?!

Been playing HAWX all day today and must say it's a marvellous game. Some very exciting dog fights going on and the graphics are superb. Definitely a worthy entry into the Tom Clancy franchise and is a game I'd definitely recommend.

I'd steer clear of really cheap HDMI cables, as the build quality can effect the quality of the digital signal and lead to more interpretation errors. But you don't need to spend more than, say, £20 tops. As long as a cable is built properly, they'll all carry the same signal and give the same result.

Yeah I’ve just had this discussion elsewhere. Be wary of the dirt cheap ones. The one they give you with Sky HD, for example, is rubbish. I ended up plumping for 2 cables (1m length) at £13 each and I’m very happy with the purchase.

Just finished Infamous and going to trade it in today, any help on what to get instead? Ill probably go with MGS4 but I really like stealthier games with better graphics than Infamous so is there anything else?

Have you played Splinter Cell: Double Agent or Assassins Creed? Both can be picked up for about £7.50 each now but both have sequels coming out later on this year. Also the new Batman game has quite a bit of stealth in.

Looking into buying a PS3, but don't have a HD telly yet. Does the PS3 come with all the connections for a normal TV, or does it just come with an HDMI?

You just get the lead for the normal connection. You have to buy your own HDMI lead.

so you get a regular SCART lead. Cos HMV have got a good PS3 bundle at around £290 at the minute, then i can get my HDTV in a couple of months

Yep, just the regular scart lead for the back of the TV, the HDMI leads are alot smaller and don't go through the scart socket.

Has anyone from here added me? My name is MrDLG I have a couple of people I'm not sure who they are.

Actually I would agree...

Digital is digital, for short runs there is no difference.

Finshed The Godfather 2 (amazing game) and have moved on to Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. WOW, this game blows me away. The graphics are stunning and the story is interesting.

I know I have missed quite a few treasures, though. The areas are just so big and I always take the time to look around and try to catch a sparkle but sometimes, the treasures don't sparkle for me. I actually found one by accident because I just happened to walk over it. Tough but fun game.

Almost a year later and I'm now just about finished Oblivion. It really is the single most engrossing game I've ever played. Fantastic stuff.

Anyone played the Batman demo?

I finished it this afternoon, great fun! Excellent graphics and the sneaking and way you clear a room of enemies without being seen is really fun. I preordered it from TheHut for £22 on Tuesday, very pleased I did!

Yeah its very MGS like which is a good thing in my books. Like some bits from Manhunt with they guys you hunting getting scared.

Some of the detective bits look fun as well been counting the days for ages and even more so now.

Not yet but the game looks amazing. I can't wait to pick it up.

I am gutted how there was not a Ashes 09 demo for the ps3. Did anyone get this game today? If so... is it worth coughing up for tomorrow with the last of my money?

After being upset that my 40gb PS3 didn't play PS1 games I prayed as I popped in an old disc a week ago and it now plays them

Resident Evil Sessions~

:O Your 40Gb plays PS1 games !!?
I tried putting a ps2 game in my 80Gb to no avail

I'm not sure its worth the £40 but its definitely worth a rental. Fun game especially if you have someone to play online with. Me and my mate played a ODI and I was batted all out 147, ended up getting him all out for 140, he was 140/7 and I managed to take out the tail end before he could win. Amazing match that was.

I went on an X-Box 360 version in GAME with a mate and to say I have hardly been on a X-Box at all I bowled him all out for 93 and went on to win with about 10 balls left. It seemed a good laugh and I want it because I was addicted to Brian Lara for psp.

The batting/bowling tutorials in the game are quality and help tons.

I am hoping to get some money together to buy it soon... best Ps3 price I have seen is Zavvi which surprised me because I didn't even know that was still a real site. What is the best price people have seen it for?

Thanks Lawz, I have never heard of nor used that site is it reliable?

Very, in fact they are Asda's main media supplier.

Oh right thank you

On a different matter, I have been on that fab Batman demo and I have noticed that when you are in the cell block if you go into detective mode or whatever its called... there is a wall that says it can be blown out using some force yet you could't punch it through. I just wondered why they would add something like that to a demo when you can't get past it.
