Already at Number 14 and its Uncharted 2!
 
Wow! This game is amazing! Everything is top notch!  Traversal, hand to hand combat and shooting were all improved!
 
Got the game early (Pre-Order) and I was able to finish the game (on hard difficulty) in two huge sessions. If you have a PS3, you got to have this game!
 
As a pre-order bonus, I was given codes to unlock golden weapons for online multi-player. I played a few online deathmatches but I enjoy more with the game's 'survival mode'.  Its something like the 'Horde Mode' or the 'Survival Mode' in Gears of War 2 and Left 4 Dead respectively.
 
I want to keep this short because I need to play more 'survival mode'!
 
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is the PS3 game of the year for me!
 
P.S: I was able to pre-order the Prestige Edition for Modern Warfare 2! I can't wait  to get my hands on my night vision goggles!

THAT MAKES IT LUCKY NUMBER 13!
 
Since the last update, I bought Batman: Arkham Asylum, Prince of Persia and FIFA 10
 
Played through  Batman: Arkham Asylum and the game was awesome. Easily the best Batman game to date. That game had good game play, voice acting, graphics and even the story was amazing. I enjoyed watching Batman: The Animated Series on TV and this game reminded me of  it. Definitely this game would be in my top 10 favorite games of 2009!
 
I have not open my SEALED copy of Prince of Persia. I noticed the game had decent review on Giant bomb so i decided to grab it (It was on sale). I really like the Prince of Persia's franchise so I will make some time and play it. Eventually.
 
Pre-ordered FIFA 10 early last month and collected it on the October 3rd. The game is an upgrade of FIFA 09, so no complaints here ( FIFA 09 was great by the way). Its just that the controls are less 'arcady' and being more of a simulation. Ball control in this game are a bit different if not, little difficult. Played a few matches on-line and the lag wasn't that bad. Mange to score some good goals! The only problem I had with this game is that people just rage quit knowing that they got bested on the pitch.
 
All in all my next purchases would be Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Modern Warfare 2 and maybe Assassin's Creed 2...
 
There goes my year-end bonus... :)
 
P.S: I exchange inFAMOUS for [PROTOTYPE] with a friend since I finished inFAMOUS with a PLATINUM TROPHY!

That brings my PlayStation 3 Games Collection to number 10!

I always love soccer/football and have been playing the Winning Eleven / Pro Evolution Soccer since the PlayStation 1 era. The game was awesome on PS2 and when the PS3 came along, I knew Winning Eleven / Pro Evolution Soccer on the 'next-gen' system is going to be amazing.

I was wrong. VERY wrong. The Konami's soccer/football game wasn't very good at all and I was very disappointed with the game play and visuals.  Even the online play in Winning Eleven 2008 / Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 was bad. So I thought to myself maybe they haven't get the hang of it yet because PS3 is new and I patiently await for the next one: Winning Eleven 2009 / Pro Evolution Soccer 2009.

To my dismay, that too suck monkey balls. I was sad. I mauled over a week. But then I saw a Fifa 09 DEMO on PSN. I downloaded it. Tried it. And Loved it. I wiped my tears away.

The game was amazing. Great visuals and good frame rate makes this game better than Konami's. FYI, the last FIFA game I played was Fifa 98, and that was on PC. It took me more than 10 years to go back to it and to enjoy it once again. So I went to my nearest game store bought myself a copy and play the HELL out of it. There are Trophies too. Not only the football trophies but PSN Trophies.

The game is amazing and having a better online game play than Konami's Winning Eleven / Pro Evolution Soccer I am very very pleased. Imagine to play in match online with 19 other players. Its almost like a real football/soccer match!

Well Konami is going to buck the hell up if they want to stay on the Footie Game because if they don't many of their followers are going to 'defect' to or 'defect back' to EA's FIFA.

KICK OFF.

Bought inFAMOUS and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune!

I went to the PC show on Thursday to buy some computer parts but to my surprise, I came across a booth selling PC and console games at discounted prices!
(this is the annual PC SHOW conduct annually at Suntec City Convention Expo in Singapore)

I was skeptical at first, checking out the games/packaging and make sure these games are legal, not some pirated-bootleg copies.

So I headed to the PlayStation 3 game section and I saw inFAMOUS. It was 25% off and I had to grab it. Furthermore it was like the last one on the shelf!

I got extra cash on me so I decided to get a cheaper PlayStation 3 game. Most of the cheaper games were mediocre titles and it might be waste of money to buy a game that I would never play after 1 minute of game play so i skipped the section and moved to the Best-Seller series.

There were great titles available but I really wanted to play Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. I heard from a friend the game was good so I decided to pick it up and immediately half-tucked my shirt. I paid for my games and head straight home and play around 3 hours each on the two games.

Honestly, for a game that came out 2 years ago, Uncharted has amazing visuals. The skyline and scenery is absolutely beautiful. I could spend my time just roaming the cliffs and admiring these wonderful rendered trees and ruins. As I start playing the game, I immediately got hooked into the story and loving the characters in it. As for the game play, firefights in the game can be frustrating but once you are used to the controls, it will be a walk in the park. Anyways, I heard that the story mission is between 8-10 hours, which is kind of short but I really love the pace of the game so far. No disappointments here.

As for inFAMOUS, let's say that being a walking lightning rod and creating havoc or helping people is totally AWESOME. This is a slightly longer game so I might finish this game on HERO first before continuing on Uncharted.

It's great to know that both of these games have trophy support and I will try to get 100% on both of them as they do not have multiplayer or multiplayer-required trophies.

Well I sure will enjoy my summer as I wait for THE GREAT FALL GAME RELEASES!

Oh yeah didn't buy any computer parts at all.

Ok, I do not know about you guys. I have been waiting patiently for the countdown. What countdown down? The Kojima Production's "Next" video game countdown timer.

Well its 0913HRS on 27th May 2009 in Singapore (I am just like one hour behind Japan, so it 1013HRS there). I witness the 160hrs countdown timer to 0 at 0900HRS 27th May 2009 and to my dismay it reset to a new countdown timer! This time its for 117hrs. So that will take us to E3 then!

But this countdown timer isn't the same as the last one... cause sometime it changes to this:




How cool is THAT! I almost wet myself. Ha ha! Anyways The screen changes to Big Boss with his eye patch and his green beret. On a close inspection, his green beret is not the usual FOX beret nor its FOXHOUND beret, it is a MILITARIES SAN FRONTIERS beret. Maybe its a new Portable Ops game? A MGS5 game but set as a prequel? But its has to be something with Big Boss aka Naked Snake. I am just happy its a Metal Gear Game or is it?!?! Damn you Hideo Kojima!

Well, what's your take?
