  1. nothing wrong with the pad...I've traditionally hated sony pads...but i've grown into the ps3 pad. I think those gioteck trigger things you can get help the shoulder buttons abit...

     

    I find the analogue sticks to be utterly awful. It doesn't make games unplayable but the Xbox controller is much much better.

    There's no better pad for things like Street Fighter 4 but for stuff like Call of Duty there's no contest IMO.

  2. Yeah, agree here. My exams are spread out over the next week, but it has such a great summer vibe, it makes my mind wander of every time. Wish it was next week.

     

    I really love Viva La Vida, it really shows that Coldplay is capable of doing more than Clocks.

     

    Agree with that, wasn't a massive fan at first but it's really grown on me. Got the album off iTunes today, just getting to the end of my first listen, really liking it a lot. I've always liked Coldplay but never really found many songs I just had to listen to, but this I'm really liking so far.

  3. check out Jordan's.

    At a "strategy level" Microsoft wants to be first to the market again with its next-generation Xbox, Entertainment & Device Devision boss Robbie Bach has said.

     

    Speaking during an interview with Venture Beat, Bach said that if you asked him whether being first to market with Xbox 360 was the right decision, he'd say "definitely yes," and the platform holder has a desire to do it again with the next console.

     

    "The last cycle for the original Xbox was a little shorter than typical (at four years). We started way late," he said. "If you take the question of whether it was the right thing to try to be first [with Xbox 360], the answer to that is definitely yes. It has given us a leg up in a number of places that are super important.

     

    "It has given us a leg up with game developers. It has given us a leg up from an economics perspective. It helped us expand Xbox Live quickly. At a strategy level, if you asked if we wanted to be first again, I would say yes."

     

    But the E&DD boss said it was "too early to tell" when quizzed on his expectation for the next console's release plans. "Our view is we will be selling Xbox 360 for a long time," he said.

     

    "People ask me how many people I have working on the next generation. On the one hand, it's everybody. On the other, it's nobody. People are continuously working on new technology.

     

    "We start thinking about the next generation before we shipped the Xbox 360," Bach continued. "It doesn't start with a date. It starts way upstream with silicon development.

     

    "From that comes a series of data points. You start making early technology choices. It's an evolving thing. Stuff doesn't become concrete until you get inside a window of when you have to ship, more than 18 months or so out."

     

    If we see anything before 2010, we'll be very surprised.

     

    I'm happy to wait a good few years yet before having to go out and buy new consoles again. I mean PS3 is only really getting going after a slow start, there's still plenty that can be achieved with the Wii, and Xbox 360 has only just started to get over the hardware problems.

  4. Played a bit more today, got to the second safehouse story seems to have just started to get good. Still not a big fan of the missions but it's alright.

  5. Finnaly got a 360 a few days back with Forza 2 and Viva Pinata, liking it so far, great stuff. Got COD4 preowned aswell and it doesnt work - disc scratched so have to take that back before i can play it >.< I wanted a snowboarding game but i have heard amped 3 isnt all that good, would it be better to get amped 2 or even ssx? i know the shawn white game is coming out aswell which looks ok

     

    Amped 3 is decent. Try out the demo ( unless there isn't one....). You should be able to pick up Amped 3 for fuck all anyway.

     

    SWEET JESUS OF NAZARETH.

     

    Finally decided to get back into Assassins Creed today. Played a bit and was bored as hell but thought I'd have a play for a while, started to get a bit better, then I kept having those stupid retard characters running up to me and pushing me into guards which resulted in a chase sequence, which in turn caused me to fail one of the informer missions. Tried again, same thing happened. Next time I took out all the retards, then saw the informer and went back and the guards came after me. Again failed...

    Next time I just took out one of the targets, went to the next one, and a beggar got in the way.

     

    All I can say is thats the last time I will ever play that game....

  6. I've STILL not played through the PS2 version of it. Since I realised how little I'd get for a PS2 on Ebay I decided to keep it, which meant I couldn't really justify the Wii version. I haven't got the motivation for a 30+ hour game at the moment.

  7. Nothing to play?! I've got a glut with The Darkness, MGS4 and GTA 4 to still complete plus MGS1....still wanna ger resistance before the second one comes out.

     

    I don't like Metal Gear, and own GTA on Xbox 360 so nothing there.

     

    You can also pick up The Darkness and Uncharted for cheaps if you don't have them. If you didn't fancy being retro :P

     

    I've finished Uncharted and loooooove the darkness but I've already finished that on Xbox 360.

    If games are available on both systems I've been picking up the 360 version due to the better controller, better online (that friends play on as well), and (not that I'd make it a deciding factor) achievements.

     

    I currently own Motorstorm, Ratchet and Clank, Unreal 3, Heavenly Sword, and Uncharted, and once it arrives Resistance.

    Heavenly Sword I find repetitive so play through a chapter once every so often, and Ratchet I need to get past an annoying level which I will do soon enough.

     

    I bought a PS3 as a Blu Ray player so I wasn't expecting to buy a ton of games for it anyway.

  8. Ah no sorry when I said throw with the remote I meant pointing where you want to throw, not also the movement sorry I should have been clearer :)

     

    If the camera's not zoomed out too far I think pointing where you want to throw could work quite well, or the cursor could always appear red on the screen if it's outside your throwing range.

     

    Hmm maybe. Trouble is if you're hammering a button to throw the you're moving the pointer so it might reduce accuracy. In theory you'd think it would work better although in practice I'm not sure. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Pikmin.

  9. Yeah as far as I know all of them run... everyone I have tried so far has worked ok... did you see my reply about the dualshock 3's?

     

    Yeah, sorry cheers for that. I wont have the cash this month to pick one up this month, but I might get one soon. Anyone think they'll sell the white one here?

     

    Just picked up Resistance on Ebay for £7.37. Not too bad.
