"I actually really liked both the Uncharted and Valkyrie demos. Hmm, the one demo that really stands out to me would have to be Burnout Paradise. I really didn't like the demo at all, and only ended up getting the game at my friends insistence. Over 80 hours later, I think it's safe to say my opinion of the game changed drastically."

Did you guys see this article (http://kotaku.com/5163641/analyst-one-in-three-god-of-war-iii-buyers-dont-own-a-ps3)?  It says that 1 out of 3 people who plans on getting GOD 3 does NOT own a PS3--suggesting we should see a large hardware bump when the game comes out?  Do you buy this?  As I recall (can't quote any numbers), Metal Gear Solid 4 didn't see a huge jump in hardware sales nor did the release of GTA IV.  You guys think GOW 3 will see a huge number of consoles, or do you currently plan of getting the PS3 when GOW 3 comes out?

Ever since the shut down of EGM and the "restructuring" of 1up.com, I've been going to a whole bunch more sites for gaming news.  Of note, the ex-1upper's sites, and of course giantbomb!!!.  After bookmarking all these new sites and more, I decided to start getting my gaming info from the RSS feed in the Google reader and found it much easier to manage than visiting 10+ sites a day.  Just wonder how you guys cruise the net and keep up with the gossip.

Man, this game looks awesome.  I love that some people are trying to pull 2-D back into style (SF IV says HELLO!!!).  Does anyone think that Konami should make the next console version of Castlevania look like this?

Man, screw that controller.  Has any one seen the Super Famicom controller?  That's the new (uhhh old?) hotness.

I have a arcade stick and love it!!!  But my buddy does play with the DS controller and manages to kick my ass sometimes.  He even uses the analog stick--damn!!!

I loved FFVII when it came out for the PS1.  I was a Nintendo fanboy in the past and only owned Nintendo consoles at the time (the Atari 2600 doesn't count).  Anyway, when I heard that FFVII was going to the PS1 and NOT the N64 I was so mad I wrote Nintendo an e-mail telling them how disappointed I was at them and "how could you let this happen?"  Surprisingly enough I did get a generic response back...  Anyway back to FFVII--I loved the game when it came out.  Hell, I even bought a PS1 for it (it felt sooooooo dirty buying a non-Nintendo console!!!), but looking back on it, I really don't know why people love it so much.  My favorite FF was FFII (FFIV in Japan) for the SNES.  The first time I saw the airships flying over the ground in STUNNING mode 7 graphics, I was hooked.  I still think it has the best music of any FF.  Anyway, this game was probably the first JRPG a lot of younger gamers played, and thus have such fond memories for.  Speaking of fond memories--I'm going to start playing some DQ VIII for the PS2 soon!!!

I don't have a pile of shame.  But I have been going through some old games and giving them a spin--lots and lots of fun.  Got Burnout a few weeks ago and I have to say the game rocks.
