Kane & Lynch
Bladestorm
Blazing Angels 2
Timeshift
Medal of Honor: Airborne
Conan
Clive Barker's Jericho
Dirt
Stuntman: Ignition
Blacksite:Area 51
Lego Star Wars
Orange Box
Stranglehold
etc.
Feel free to add to the list. So who has played the games above? Give us your short review.

Lots of FPS/shooting games there, and the developers seem happy to make them (Haze could end up in the above list as well).

stranglehold. OMG. i i think its a retarded game.. overhyped. lol. tried the demo and am not at all impressed. graphics is good.. jus the way the characters move and how items react to mr chow.. its dumb. u slide across a table. and melon!!!! watermellons!!! burst!!
another game i tried recently is blacksite..- area 51. omg. tat one.. if u look properly.. and read reviews same as mine. AI is dumb. graphics even using unreal engine. is laggy framerate drops. and tearing. it takes awhile to load images.. so diff frm unreal tournament. (it actually does also but only in the begining)..

Haze in the list above? Doubt so man. Its Sony's answer to Halo3, sort of.

Hrmm played Kotak Oren on the other box and Portal and TF2 is amazing. Just dont feel like buying it after I already played it previously.
Stranglehold is an ok game. Its nice to blow stuff up and practically destroy the whole room.
Star Wars Lego is a game that you must get if you never played any of the other Lego Star Wars before. It is the total compilation. Very worth the money

My cousin bought PS3 2 weeks ago and his first game is Def Jam. I like WTF? He said he like that series since PS2.

I was at Bernard's place and someone there was deliberating between COD4 and Kane & Lynch. I tried to convince him that COD4 was a lot better but he went with K&L. Dude, if you're reading this, let us know what u think of K&L!
I'm in the midst of playing Conan and Orange Box. Conan sometimes has decent graphics and other times it's 1st gen PS3 quality. The AI can get pretty dumb sometimes. You can walk up behind the enemy and he's still facing away from you. I mean Conan isn't exactly Sam Fisher stealthy so that's quite funny. I find myself oddly enjoying the game actually. It's like a no-frills version of God of War and it doesn't pretend to be anything more than what it is so it's actually good mindless fun. Of course it helps that there are naked boobies here and there.
Orange Box - I normally don't get dizzy but it seems to hit me when I play HL2. Felt the same with HL1 on the PS2. I think it's because your character still moves about an inch or so even when you release the analog stick. Nevertheless, the game's really good and I intend to complete it even if I have to keep a puke bucket in front of me!
But Kane and Lynch sucks

Maybe the AI isnt dumb, if you know Conan is coming, wouldnt you rather not face him? And try to slowly walk away

tried K&L too. its sigh... not good.. other thn blacksite.. this is another review i agree with IGN.
and for the dude who went on wit K&L.. wow.. he didnt do his homework.. graphics and gameplay AND story line. beats it hands down.
conan. i find it funny and fun sometimes.not tat bad la. . demo only lo.. no reason to buy the game.

Exactly! That's why I tried to get him to buy COD4!
Good point about Conan.

I think they're just frozen on the spot with fear.
Another thing, the naked women say hilarious things when you free them.

Actually the Simpsons Game is quite OK - for fun after who knows how many hours of shooting fictional zombies, cops, bad guys, aliens, bad prince and kings etc.
I played the DS version (sorry if out of topic). However, if you want me to buy it to play for RM230 (for the PS3(, I might picked the better option.
I will update you guys when I play Kane and Lynch.

haha..Stranglehold.
When I tried it, i was like..holy shit! this dude can slide on to tables...he must be bad ass. and whats up with Ah Fatt's 'pimples'?

Jan 3 2008, 11:42 AM
stranglehold is not tat bad if u dont expect much la....its fun ..but quite short....so u wont get bored doing the same stunts....
But I hate those shootout moments

If I can slide around tables while surrounded by 10 bad guys, why cant I do the same with 4 guys pointing their gun at me?
Instead, I have to face off, rooted to the same spot.. man I hated those moments

I think Dirt is a good game, must not be underlooked, i hav it and enjoyed it,good physics, but i guesss its still lacking multiplayer options could be the factor why it doesnt really shines, bt compare to sega revo, its so far ahead in term of graphic and realism.

Lol.. i'm gonna have to start my Stranglehold soon so i can give impressions too..hehe.
As for the K&L.. tried the demo which was pretty dumb.. however the commanding team thing gave me some nostalgia so i went and played Freedom Fighters again and finished.. oh so good.. why did they mess up K&L..same company right?!

I think DiRT is waaaay better than Sega Rally.
1. The control is tight.
2. The graphics puts Sega Rally to shame.
3. The races and the damage mode is realistic.
Well, this is from Codemasters, the same people who brought Collin McRae games (rip)
But be warned, for serious rally junkies only.

this is cause original PS3 games are expensive and demos are available.
demos like AC4, F1CE, stranglehold, bladestorm, etc are enjoyable but just not enjoyable enough to warrant buying the full version. have to be pragmatic with our gaming expenses.
some of the games of PSN are also enjoyable and good value for money. but MP sessions are hard to find for games like CAC or SPFHDR. soon, Star Strike HD will also feature MP addon! maybe Asian timezone few ppl play PSN games.

I've played LEGO Star Wars and it's definitely worth it and I would not say that it's a lousy game. It has a lot of charm; in my opinion. Definitely loved the gameplay! Plus, if you're a LEGO lover, that's even better. Haha!
Lego Star Wars is definitely not a lousy game. And the compilation is super worth it. Waiting for Batman and Robin as well as Indiana Jones

yup dynasty warriors!! i remember whn i first saw the first one on ps2.. was good la back thn. now the same thing happens again. graphics improve slightly. and more troops.. but the AI is jus dumb ler.. ahahah
Lol dynasty warriors is always about throwing more and more enemies at you ma.

Do a count of the number of enemies, it increases with each sequel
How long is Lego Star Wars? Today, most games are super short at around 6 to 8 hours.
