    I won't play too human coz i dnt have a crapbox but this hyped 360 exclusive just goes to show that 360 can't offer much if anything and have to steal PS3 exclusives of us (FFXIII). I have a psp slim and lite and hope they bring out some kind of external mic or update or whatever coz i dnt want to spend all that money on a new psp :(

YES! Games like this makes you glad your with Sony.


Uncharted drakes fortune is properly the best exclusive PS3 exclusive game yet. You are Nate Drake a modern day treasure hunter and are trying to hunt down the treasure of El Dorado. You start by finding Sir francis drake's coffin and find his diary. You end up on an island and your search starts there....

Uncharted story is great as you progress through the game constant twists in the story keep you wanting for more. Is the treasure all that it seems.... The story is told by colourful cut scenes which work well and have great voice acting.

Graphics - WOW. This game looks amazing. the jungles you are in look real with real colours, trees, leaves ground, sky there is even one bit where you see a sunset and I have never seen so good graphics on any game. 10/10 for graphics. The people are well textured and all look different from each other. A thing what did amaze me was when Nate goes in water he actually gets wet and you can clearly see it.

Sound is great. Firstly the voice acting is good even if your enjoying it from cut scenes or just when wondering around. Another I loved in this game is the ramdom comments Nate makes during his adventure like 'What more, where do they keep coming from??' and 'Woah' and 'you have got to be kidding me' just things like that add to a game a great deal. You can hear all the usual jungle sounds and footsteps. The guns also sound good but could have been better.

Gameplay. The gameplay is awsome and one of the best I have ever seen. Two main parts of it are puzzling and combat. Firstly puzzling. Way better then anything you have seen in tomb raider or anything like that. You can climb, jump and hand from a lot of objects and you have to find new ways round to reach different areas. secondly combat. The combat in uncharted is very unique. HUD is kept to a minemum with no health bar or rader which i guess is good and bad, however it works well. You can use almost anything as cover and shoot out at all the mercs after you. The AI is actually really good with them throwing grenades and flanking you if you stay in one area for too long.

Uncharted is a game with great reply value. Once you complete it there are a whole bunch of reasons to play through it again. You may want to play it through again on a higher difficultly or to do things you didn't do the first time round. The reason i played it through agian and again is to get/unlock everything. There are 60 treasures to collect and medals and rewards to unlock which will keep you going for a while.

Overall if you have a PS3 get this game, you can show it to your friends who have a 360 and go 'HA'. You won't be dissapointed. I think the only bad thing about this game is the gameplay is slightly uneven as it sort of goes: Combat, puzzling, conbat, puzzling, combat ect. and the game itslef could have been longer but other then that great!!

Months of fun!


Tony hawk underground 2 is a great skateboarding game which anyone can enjoy. There is a lot to do on it to keep you busy for a while like completing both story and classic mode on all difficulties and finding all those pesky gaps. There is a lot of ways to customize the game to make it how you want, for example you can create your own skater and even download you image to make it so its like you in the game then there's lots of other stuff like make your own park, tricks, goals and even your own graffic which you can spary at anytime in the game.
A good fun addition through the game is you get to ride all sorts of different vehicles ranging from a wheelchair to a bull.
All in all THUG 2 is a most enjoying, challenging and fun game to play.

An excellent looking shooter


Black looks and plays good from the moment you turn it on.
The story is told out well you are a solider named Keller and each conversion he has refers to a mission which is then flashbacked so you get to play that mission. The first mission you play through is great which excellent graphics, glass breaking everywhere and intense shooting.
At the end of each mission you get a stats screen the best feature on it I think is how many enemies you killed, did you get them all.....?

The only two bad things about this game is towards the end you start to get a bit bored as it repeats itself and also the whole game itself doesn't last very long. If it wasn't for these it would have got a perfect 10.

Excellent best game out on Playstation


Metal Gear Solid is an excellent game for anyone. If you have never played the series then it doesn't matter you can pick up and play this game easily. The way the game combines stealth with action is amazing. Instead of going in, guns blazing you have to actually avoid enemies if you don't want a hard time. It is not a good thing if you are caught as enemies just keep coming and coming soon you will run out of ammo or die so it is best to keep your head down on this game.

The gameplay is great but so is the storyline. It is told very well with the use of cut-scenes which offer a nice break from gameplay and to follow the actual story. There is some simple puzzles to work out such as working out secret codec calls and avoiding lasers.

Sound is great with the guns sounding great and the added effect of them sounsing differently depending on where you are (for example in an air duct or out in open space). The music for certain areas also changes.

You could properly complete the game within a few hours if you rushed through it and skipped the cut scenes, but u'll properly want to play it through properly finding all the weapons and follow the story. You may also want to play it through again to see the added extras after completeing the game once.

There is nothing particually bad about this game and that why it gets a perfect 10 out of 10!

Another good driver game worth checking out!


I don't really see why so many people dislike this game.

The game is great in every sense. Its story is not dull and boring its is told especically well. No other game has a unique story like this one. You start out young and hook up with a gang with a killer plan but then get turned on. During this part of the game you play 1978 where the cars buildings ect. look like they would in that era even the HUD is appropriate. Then you get thrown in jail and 28 years later get released and are out for your old gang members. During this time you character looks different there are different cars and the HUD has changed this is what makes it so great. No other game has achieved this. The cars handle realisticly and fell like proper cars. Free roaming around new york is great there is 260km of road to explore and along with the main missions there are side missions to do which makes the game last for ages (sure this is like GTA but who cares it works).

You can now also shoot out of your car whilst driving which is a great new addidtion. Speaking of cars there are almost endless numbers you can drive (80+). A really cool part of this game is fully collecting and customizing the vehicle's you come across. Overall sure it may be similar to GTA but there is so much to do in this game and a good veriety of things to do.

Second best gajme ever made!! - EPIC


Ok here's the thing you either love this game or not and I would think most people love it. The game has two games in one, one you play as solid snake on a tanker mission and raiden on the plant mission. The story line is excellent and told with the use of lenthy cut scenes which work really well and look amazing. The graphics are fantastic from the detail of the guns you aim to the cloths that you where and the detail of the tanker and the big shell. When you are high up on the plant chapter (strut E heliport is a good place) I would highly advice that you just look through your scope to see the detail of everything. The sound is excellent which each weapon making a different and unique noice, there is different themed music for sneaking around different areas and getting caught. Voice acting is great (and it should be for all the talking in this game).

The gameplay for MGS2 is amazing you do a veriety of things such as bomb disposel, using disguises, swim, hang of ledges and much more.

The game itself will last for a long time if you take in the story, but even then you will want to play it again and again to seek out things you may have missed, collect all weapons and items and play on different difficultly settings. The main reason to keep at the game however is dog tags. There is lots to collect, basically they are name tags on the soliders which you can collect and they are different on all of the difficulties.

All in all i got this game when it first came out and still play on it to this game, in my thought I think it will remain one of the greatest games of all time.

A really fun FPS !


I can't think of anything really wrong with this game.
firstly its graphics are amazing and so is the gameplay.
The story may be short but then the replay value kicks in because you will want to play through it over and over again to beat the game on all difficultly levels, then you will want to do all the challenges and unlock all characters and complete the game 100%.

The story mode itself is funny and has great character models and voice acting. The game even opens itself up more when you play all the crazy game modes with a friend or bots.

the weapons on the game range from revolvers to heatseeking rockets. they is a lot to choose from all from different time zones.
The game lets YOU the player choose the game. You can choose which bots to play against create your own unquie weapon sets and more, yu can even create your own map to play on.

overall this game is great fun with great graphics, gameplay, sound and replayability and should not be missed. fans of previous timesplitter games won't be disappointed and if you like any first person shooters try this one out!

Another awesome GTA Game


Vice city stories on the psp what more could you want?
This game takes place before the events of the first vice city which already makes it have an interesting storyline. It tells the story of Lance's brother Vic who doesn't like dealing drugs but needs the money for his family.
Vice city stories see's the return of many characters including Diaz, Lance and even Umberto who lives in his own house.

Graphically it looks good for a psp game, although there may be some texture popping now and again but you can easily over look that.
Sound wise again Rockstar have managed to keep cars and guns sounds to a great level and we also see the return of the 80's radio stations which provides songs for you to listen to wherever.

Like other GTA games this will take a while to complete 100%, heck even the story missions are quite long compared to other GTA games.

If you have anyone to play with the multiplayer modes are fun even with just two people. There are a lot of modes to choose from so there will be something for everyone.

Overall this is a must for psp owners and provides a lost chapter in the GTA series!

Wow... Proper next gen graphics amazing story just wow..


Ok assassins creed is one a game which will be remembered for a long time.
Firsly the graphics are amazing, I think its the best graphical game to date, everything from Altair to the massive environment with leaves growing from trees tall buildings which dont lose texture and the many people populating the holy land not many of them copies of each other.

The sound in assassins creed is excellent. great voice acting by all the characters, sword fights sound great and realistic, and one cool feature of the game is ramdom people say stuff when they see you running and climbling.

Storyline wise is awsome. You actually play as two people, the game is actually set in the future and you are Desmond who is really an assassin 9he doesnt know it) and the main doctor who is experimentinng on him is a templer (the assassins arch rivels). Desmond can go back to his ancester memories which is where most of the game takes place.

Gameplay of assassins creed is good. Basically you undergo a mission which turns out badly and you get stripped of your rank and all throughtout the game you are trying to restore it by doing other assassinations throught 3 cities in the holy land. Right the bit why people dont like this game is they say it is repetitive. well it is to some extend but you will want to play the game anyway to see how all the story pans out.

The map is HUGE on assassins creed which provides awsome free roming experience where you can just kill guards for fun (which is one of the best features of the game).

It doesnt really have any reply value but there is a ton of flags (420) to collect and templers to kill (60).

Control wise is does it good job. you can easily climb any climbable surface at will just by holding down one button and the controls used for combat worked well too.

Overall assassins creed is the best graphical game to date and it just proves how good next gen consoles are. I would recommand it to anyone. Seriously get this game!!

Like FPS? then you'll love resistance!


Resistance was one of the lauch titles for the PS3 in 2006, and a great title it is.

Resistance is all about 'aliens' called chimera. they were humans but have been infected and have been muted into chimera using conversion centres. In just two months the chimera took over all of Europe and have arrived at England. Which is where the game kicks of...

You play as Hale a solider who is trying to defeat the chimera with the rest of humanity. Right at the beginning of the game he gets infected but nothing happens... So this makes you want to play the game through to see how that works out....

Resistance has good graphics for a first person shooter but considering its on a PS3 i cant shake the feeling that they could have been better (even some PS2 shooters look better). However graphics are still great from the AI teamates and all the different types of chimera and the environment and explosions look cool too.

Sound is great with each gun making a different sound and the growls of the chimera and shouting and footsteps ect. What doesnt impress me however is the storyline and voice acting as Hale never says anything and there is proper cool lenghly cut scenes just a crappy (most of the time) black and white image or map with that woman talking.

Gamplay is the best part of reistance, wherever you are in the game you will always be in an intence shootout with very good AI (which use cover and flank you).

Resistance also has brillant online play which when played you can unlock loads of goodies (which i love) including ribbons, medals and even go up ranks and customise what your online character looks like.

Replay value is here as hidden weapons can be found when you play the game through again and you can play through it again anyway to get even more goodies (skill points).

There is a co op mode which is fun but isnt online which is kinds disappointing.

resistance at times can be quite a scary game (i know i jumped when i was in a tight corrider and chimera jump out right in front of you and respawn behind you!!!)

Overall reistance is a good quality game but it would have scored higher only if the story was more developed, if it had online co op and lastly i just cant shake the feeling more could be improved in this game...
