Currently playing Bioshock, pretty much exclusively. I recently beat Condemned, have pretty much aced most everything in Guitar Hero II, and have otherwise been playing lots of Xbox Live Arcade stuff, with Carcassonne being a favorite between my girlfriend and me.

That game is a time machine. 20 min. only takes 2 min. but it is 20 min later.

Shadow of Colossus is beautiful and a lot of fun.

man you guys have some good tastes, I thought EA was full of videogame haters

My big problem is I love so many PS1 classics and the virt mem card on the PS3 is uber, but god the upscaling blows compared to what EMU can do on the PC side.

Games like ICO and SOTC could be rendered internally at a higher res if the PS2/PS3 emu was beefed up enough, instead we get stuck w/ back side upscaling, which everyone' w/ a HDTV already has.. not only that but the upscaling blurs the image enough to be noticable, even w/ smoothing off.

The PS2 still renders PS1/PS2 games better than the PS3 can... its a crime. PS2 games on the PS3 should look at LEAST as good, if not slightly better... but they dont/ They lack detail w/ that bogus AA filter

I wasted another hour of my life playing madden again last night. Rotherlesrider for the Steelers tossed 8 picks and the CPU AI refused to bench him. Another blatant flaw in that games AI code.

I think I'll go back to SOTN or Oblivion tonight, Madden is so broken it drives me bananas.

Folklore demo went up on the PSN network a few days ago...

further proof that JPN game design for the "next gen" is no diff than it was 20 years ago. Lets see

Generic Female and Male protagonist dressed up like poser goth/emo kids only take themselves way to seriously like only the JPN can? check

Blatant Beowulf/LOTR style setting rip offs and misuse
check

Completely non interactive environments? Check

Cramped small invisible wall level design? Check

Aimless wandering and disorientation thanks to no quality mini mapping feature? Check

I love me some JPN games but its the generic ones like this that really bum me out.

Its got some really pointless gameplay that are clearly tack ons to some misguided design idea that someone gave the green light to w/o doing a full analysis to see if its even possible to make a game out of it.

IN a nutshell, walk forward, press button to :lock on: to an enemy that is trying to attack you (and missing badly) press another button to watch a canned animation of a pokemon style monster attack. Use bogus SIXAXIX control to move controller upwards, move to next enemy ... repeat.

Walk to end of room to next room, repeat over and over...

to think that game is going to launch at $60, its really a shame. It plays like a pre alpha of some mini game functionality in another game

Until last week I was mainly playing Dawn of War and Etrian Odyssey.

Buying a Wii changed that.

I imagine this will be the reason why I buy a PS3.

Yup, me too, I reckon.

I'm playing a lot of Pokemon Diamond at the moment. This is likely to get a lot worse now that my girlfriend is away Mon-Fri. Yes, I realise this makes me a massive retard. PM me if you want to trade pokemon

God, I've resisted this with all my might for weeks.

i just wanna second that "bioshock" vote. i can't stop playing. i play until my eyes physically hurt. it's one of the few games i would classify as amazing.
