I'm a fan of puzzle games in general, and I thought echocrome was pretty good. Don't know if I'll get it for PS3 or PSP though, the PS3 version is nicer but these types of games are best on the road, so...

as far as Metal Gear Online, I've played about 2-3 hours of it. It seems like it really caters to the hardcore crowd (the leveling up is super slow and the advantage it gives it almost too great to overcome). It'd be really fun if you played it all the time, otherwise nah....

Monsters Add-On is out.

5/9/2008 7:47:19 AM

i still can't beat the main Monsters game. its tough.

5/9/2008 10:29:37 AM

We have three rainbows left to get.

5/9/2008 10:54:59 AM

Haze demo was short but sweet...could be a good game...graphics were nice and smooth

Bourne demo was interesting...once i got the hang of the quicktime events and takedowns, it was really fluid and fun

GRID seemed allright, but less impressive than GT5P

5/9/2008 11:18:44 PM

bourne would be better if the loadtime wasn't so goddamn long and the chance of you fucking up a quicktime wasn't so high

about the 4th minute-long load time, i declared DONE (a train hit me mid-fistfight )

5/10/2008 11:21:33 AM

i need a creative gamertag. Just bought my ps3

5/10/2008 3:42:28 PM

I thought the Haze demo was pretty lame. Maybe because I've gotten used to the jungles in games like Uncharted or even Farcry, but that level just seemed really stale. I also thought the shooting mechanics sucked. Nectar was kinda cool, but they are kidding themselves if they think that's what's going to make the game stand out from other shooters. Overall, it's a disappointment for a game that went through multiple delays.

^Post it here when you've figured it out,

so anyone out there use a jawbone BT headset with the PS3? seems to lose synch a lot for me

i want some friends to play gta4 and other games with

how many of you guys play on wireless as opposed to wired connection?


I have to play on wireless based on where my router is, but I havent noticed any issues with lagging. at least that i can see on my end.

5/11/2008 11:19:44 AM

we play on wireless for the same reason, haven't ever had any problems really

5/11/2008 3:25:25 PM

i've never had any problems with the wireless

5/11/2008 3:42:25 PM

so this is interesting

GameTrailers has long been accused of dumbing down the PS3 settings to make the 360 look better in comparisons. looks like they finally got caught (found via kotaku)

GT has since taken down the video and all comments were removed from the site

game sites sure have credibility issues lately

5/12/2008 10:01:54 AM

^^thats dumb because they both look like ass on web based videos. You can't truly make comparisons unless you watch both on the same HD TV.

5/12/2008 1:31:09 PM

they weren't comparing graphics

5/12/2008 1:31:48 PM

I'm sure it was just a mistake, if they were truly trying to deceive people, I doubt they would have missed something as obvious as the Playstation buttons being on the screen. Gametrailers puts together some of the most professional and informative gaming related videos on the net. I love their video reviews and retrospectives. Check out their Metal Gear Retrospective,

5/12/2008 1:46:21 PM

haze won't let me kersplode the transport at the end of the level

5/12/2008 2:38:07 PM

their retrospectives are great

their comparison videos are shit

5/12/2008 3:32:09 PM

I have had Haze pre-ordered for like a year seriously....when does it release?

5/13/2008 1:24:18 AM

hopefully it's better than the demo

the demo is pretty and all and the play mechanic is very nice, i'm just sick of jungles

(plus it seems easy to get caught on things while jumping)

5/13/2008 7:53:02 AM

true - i wish they had had a demo that included a second level after you break and join the rebels so you could see how that changes shit

as someone who doesn't do a lot of console FPS (Resistance is the only one i have on the PS3), i'm going to have to rely on reviews and that is always iffy

anyone having trouble downloading the new update 2.35? i cant seem to connect to the server

5/15/2008 5:54:25 PM

^ yeah, and i've been having a lot of problems in general with updates, games and system. I read something on the ps3 website forum that you have to disable the SSID broadcast on your router (if you use one) because the PS3 is having trouble recognizing it for the time being. I haven't had the opportunity to try that yet, but maybe that'll work

5/15/2008 6:37:40 PM

^its finally connecting and its downloading, albeit slowly. I use a router, what does disabling the SSID do in relation to the other computers using it?

[Edited on May 15, 2008 at 6:46 PM. Reason : af]

5/15/2008 6:45:44 PM

^ To be honest, I don't know. I don't think it would do anything bad because the moderator on the site suggested it but didn't mention any side effects. Here's the link where I found it:

http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=psnetwork&thread.id=19016

GoHerd35 is the moderator and seems to be pretty good at suggesting solutions to connection problems.

5/15/2008 7:08:28 PM

i didn't think anyone who didn't want their home internet to be a hotspot kept SSID enabled in the first place

5/15/2008 10:02:11 PM

So what did this upgrade do?

I've been pretty high on this game for a while but these new videos took it to another level.

The platforming mechanics seem a little too "floaty" for my tastes, but with a few months to go hopefully they can tighten them up a bit, or even make it one of things you can control when you make a level.

5/17/2008 1:10:43 PM

so what's the best soccer game out there for the PS3 right now? i'm guessing Fifa?

[Edited on May 17, 2008 at 7:12 PM. Reason : .]

5/17/2008 7:10:02 PM

Fifa 08 rules HARD

5/18/2008 4:22:46 PM

fifa 08...but wait til tuesday and you can get euro 2008....after playing the demo, the gameplay is even better than 08 but you lose some options with teams and whatnot...but if you love fifa, its like fifa 08 2.0

5/18/2008 4:33:59 PM

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/34201.html

Killzone 2 seems to be coming along nicely. looking forward to a few of these exclusives

5/18/2008 5:22:24 PM

yeah i was playing the demo and decided it's time to get a soccer game for the PS3...i'll take your advice and wait for euro

^with that commentary, i kept waiting for a "boom goes the dynamite"

[Edited on May 18, 2008 at 6:28 PM. Reason : .]

IGN dished out a 4.5 to Haze. Yikes.

5/20/2008 12:59:19 PM

^yeah im reading it now.


i need a sports game. I've played the demo of The Show 08 but i dont think baseball will be able to keep my interest.

I've never liked madden or ncaa, just never liked the player models...to stumpy (2K fanboy )

I may look into soccer, especially Fifa. the new Tiger will be a definite in August.

5/20/2008 4:54:55 PM

Haze sucking was pretty obvious to anyone who played the demo. I figured that game was in trouble when they moved it out of the holiday period. They obviously felt it couldn't compete with the slew of shooters coming out at that time, and they were right.

5/20/2008 6:33:05 PM

i went out today and bought UEFA 2008 (thanks for the recommendation guitarguy)

it's awesome

Bioshock coming to the PS3 this holiday season

5/22/2008 4:24:01 PM

So did any of you actually get Haze or are you just judging by the demo and the reviews????

6/2/2008 1:23:44 AM

my friend got haze then returned it the next day.

6/2/2008 1:25:54 AM

i bought Jet Moto 2 and High Velocity Bowling from the ps store last night.

6/2/2008 7:58:21 AM

man i just learned the next splinter cell game will be exclusive to the ps3. That sucks hard.

6/5/2008 12:18:05 PM

worlds smallest violin playing the worlds saddest song

6/5/2008 12:28:04 PM

So I am thinking of selling my PS3 on ebay and I was curious what to sell it for. It is a limited edition 60GB model. It's gold and was designed by Sony for the NBA all-star game this year. From what I gather, there are only like 10 consoles with this design. 6 games, 1 BD movie and a controller all included. Just don't know what to sell it for. Any ideas?

6/6/2008 2:40:41 PM

bored of it already? or need the cash?
