    In about a week I will be leaving for month (for work/vacation) and will not have access to my PS3 during that time.  I'd like to eventually get both Warhawk and PJ Eden, however, I'm wondering if the learning curve to Warhawk makes it pointless to play it for a few days and then leave it for a month or so.  Would it be better to just leave it until I return and grab PJ Eden for the time being?

    Dude, Warhawk for sure. Although PJE is amazing and all, WH is the hands down purchase, one of the most amazing MP games this gen really. The learning curve takes a little while, and at the start the on-foot stuff may seem really gay and something you will never like, but over time it gets really intense and amazing. Warhawk on the other hand, are a totally other story. I am a pro in them (not bragging!) and even I took a while to get started even. First while is a lot of dying after dying, but once you get it, and start becoming good, my god its amazing.

    Its one of those games that escelates its review score over time, at first it was like an 8 for me, but over time, it became a clear 10. It just feels so good and satisfying, and there are times where it can get so intense you sweat, which I never do when playing games.

    I'm getting Warhawk on Saturday because of the price drop, and a question about the wireless headset (to anyone that has it). Is the VOIP of good quality? And is it a cheap plastic headset?

    It's a pretty good heaset, voice chat in the game is pretty meh, its average nothing amazing, def. depends on the headdset people have. But the price drop to 30 bucks doesn't include a headset, the price drop is to 50 bucks if you want the headset.

    So either way 10 dollars off. I wouldn't recommend getting that headset anyways.

    Damn. Is it better to get a seperate bluetooth headset/wired one? Cause the headset was a huge reason why I would get Warhawk.

    I find Warhawk really, really, really tough. It's so effing hard. You just never get a chance to work anything out because you find yourself dead in seconds. It always feels unfair to, I'm sure that's an accolade to the other players being so good but you'll just sit there wondering how he killed you when you can't kill him.

    PixelJunk Eden has a learning curve of a couple of hours but is absolutely brilliant fun. I guess if you're happy to stick with it though, Warhawk will last the longer of the two games.

    Are you speaking of the Jabra headset included in the retail version? I purchased it and I found the headset to be awful. When I started using it, I found it it to be low. In a few days after using it,  I could hardly hear anything. I currently use a PS2 Logitech USB wired headset and it works great. I would just recommend getting the DLC unless you like having a physical copy of the game.

    Yeah lol thats exactly how I was when I first started playing. I was like, this is so unbalanced and cheap. But after just weeks, I found it to be one of the most balanced games this generation, honestly. And its so much fun, but you have to work hard and not give up to get skilled at it; something I like. Separates the noobs from the hardcore.

    Thanks Sentry and brukaoru, I guess I'll get either a Bluetooth, or PS2 headset if I'm feeling cheap.

    No problem bro, I would get a wired just to save time, and it's easier. There are really cheap wired ones out there btw.

    I don't think Warhawk comes with a headset anymore. If you want a good headset, buy SOCOM. It's going to be an amazing game too.

    Yeah, I know a lot of people who hate the game though because they suck at it and never learned to play. :(

    I have Warhawk and I suggest Eden.

    Socom Confrontation does look more like what I wanted Warhawk to be.
