  • Never heard of them before this. The review itself is hilarious - he gave the controls a 98 out of 100. The board , to him, is just two points off being perfection-incarnate in a game controller.

I've been wanting to buy a PS3 for a while now and finally got the Slim & Uncharted 2 bundle this week. I paid €199.99 after using some vouchers I'd been holding on to, and they threw in Fifa 10 with the bundle as well.  

I am primarily a PC gamer, so in almost all cases I will still be buying the PC version of any game I want that comes out. I've ordered Killzone 2 and Valkyria Chronicles, but I was hoping you guys could offer any suggestions for worthwhile PS3 games I should consider buying, either released or in the future - preferably being console/PS3 exclusives. To narrow it down, at the moment I'm not really interested in MGS4 or Infamous, despite their obvious popularity.

On a more specific note, despite the apparently frustrating gameplay that comes with Demon's Souls, something about that game has drawn me to it, and perhaps anyone who has played the game could advise whether I should or should not bother importing it. Thanks!

I just finished up FEAR 2 after roughly 6 or 7 hours of gameplay, and for the most part it was enjoyable - though unfortunately not nearly as much as the original FEAR was for me.

The underlying gameplay of FEAR is still intact and as robust as ever and the game does look and sound great but there was a serious lack of challenge to it. I played through it on the hardest difficulty and had no trouble whatsoever until some of the last few sections of the game, and even then it was only a matter of retrying the section two or three times before passing it. I also found it to be much less scary than the original, mostly due to the longer lasting/ faster replenishing slow-mo effect, and the less frequent "Alma moments".

That being said, it was fun and has totally left it open for another game in the series after the somewhat bizarre climactic ending.

Now to play FEAR 1 again!

Received in the post while I was at work today and just getting to install it now; though I probably won't get a chance to play it tonight :( I'm really looking forward to rekindling my relationship with the dark corridors and splattering blood of the FEAR franchise and I'll be sure to post my thoughts on the game in due course.

For now though, has anyone played/completed it on PC/360, and if so, what did you think of it?


PS: I'm used to games taking up a lot of hard drive space nowadays but this has to be one of the largest I've seen. Lovely.

Awesome Yelp review typo on local burger joint: "Nothing spactacular. Ambiance leaves a lot to be desired. Prices are ok and god is so so."

My new power to change the GB homepage's tagline at will is surely going to lead to ruin.
