That is the last thing I would do.

Racing games is always my favorite and the best on PS3 so far is Motorstorm. Good graphics and most important of all, great gameplay. Only thing that sucks is that there is not enough tracks and no option to select track and race vehicles to race in.

Killzone 2 - in 30 minutes transforms the PS3 into the most exciting console in the world

GR has posted up some updated impressions of Killzone 2 for the PS3 and comment that in just 30 minutes, their perception of the PS3 as an overhyped system featuring a string of Xbox 360 ports turned into the most exciting and important console in the world. Will this be the title that gives a considerable boost to the PS3 and thrust it firmly back into the limelight?

quote:

Killzone 2 was almost everything we'd hoped for, and miles ahead of what we secretly feared - not bad, for a relatively tame third level. The primary emotion, relief, was soon replaced with a tingling delight that Sony had lived up to the standards of that E3 2005 trailer. In 30 minutes, Sony transformed the perception of PS3 from an overpriced extravagance populated by me-too Xbox 360 ports, to the most exciting, important console in the world. It doesn't have any gimmicks - time travel, performance-enhancing drugs, or gravity guns. Its "novelty" is good looks, intensity, and how it single-handedly shames absolutely almost everything rival consoles had to offer. That said, it's the second time a Killzone 2 trailer has ruined E3 - this time for making almost every other game look so terrifyingly ordinary.

Polish mag awards Heavenly Sword for PS3 a near perfect score

Multi-platform magazine 'PSX Extreme' has graded Heavenly Sword for the PS3 as follows - 9/10 (graphics), 10/10 (sound), 10/10 (gameplay), giving it an almost perfect score. The respective magazine had a review build from the beginning of August with just a few negatives listed such as a lack of secrets, low number of diverse opponents and its just that little bit short in terms of longevity.


Ratchet & Clank Future Release Date Confirmed

Added on August 18, 2007, 6:02 pmHere is a short guide from gameradar for the short Heavenly sword demo.

Burned through the demo already? Our six simple tips will tell you what you might be missing.

By now, most of you PS3 owners out there have probably downloaded the disappointingly short Heavenly Sword demo, plowed through it in fewer than five minutes and wondered what all the fuss was about. That was our first reaction, too, when we played the same demo during E3 - until we sat down with the game's producer, Kyle Shubel, and he told us what we were doing wrong.

While you might never guess it from a quick play-through, the Heavenly Sword demo can be a sublime, endlessly replayable experience - provided you know what you're doing. Because the demo doesn't feature a tutorial, and because we want to make sure you wring as much as you can out of the scant few minutes of gameplay it offers, we've put together this short guide to pass on what we've learned.

1. Don't mash buttons
Seriously, don't. Mashing buttons in Heavenly Sword is like gulping expensive wine. It gets the job done, sure, but this is something you need to savor. The game's cursed heroine, Nariko, can block nearly any attack just by standing still, so there's no reason to rush through your attacks. Instead, take it a little more slowly - rather than jamming madly on the Triangle and Square buttons, use even, rhythmic taps. Think of it as one strike flowing smoothly into the next. The combos you'll execute as a result will be fluid, stylish and ridiculously destructive, not to mention a hell of a lot more fun to watch than Nariko flailing her blades around at random.

2. Switch your stance
Nariko has three fighting styles at her disposal - use 'em. Holding down L1 gets you the Ranged style, enabling you to weave wide (if weak) arcs with blades on chains, while R1 switches Nariko to the strong, slow Power style, which can be instrumental in breaking through the defenses of shield-bearing enemies. Best of all, Nariko's three stances can be used in rapid succession to create new combos - check the combo list in the pause menu to see exactly how.

3. Counter for all you're worth
Notice how your enemies flash blue or orange when they're attacking you? That's not just for show. It's your cue to hit Triangle as they rush in to attack; time it right, and you'll perform an acrobatic counter move that'll usually knock out anyone dumb enough to get close, while at the same time making you, the player, wince.

Rumble ain't last gen. It is the most important features in any games as it let you FEEL the game. Sony fcuk up big time by not including rumble in the sixaxis. I personally think that the motion sensing in the sixaxis is bullshit as it has not work well in any game.

Anyway, here are some reviews...read only if you are interested

The latest PSW has long reviews of Heavenly Sword and Lair. But all you want to know is the scores, huh? Well here you go...

Heavenly Sword - 8

+ Stunning Visuals
+ Inspired use of the Sixaxis
+ Superb combat system
- Over too soon

Lair - 8

+ Always so much going on
+ Stunning attention to detail
+ Intuitive control set-up
- Not the longest of games

Added on August 19, 2007, 3:33 pmIs there something really wrong with the PS3? Game after game release seems to have the 360 version edging out the PS3 version. Here is another one.

Xbox 360 version of Stuntman 'edges out' PS3 version

1UP is claiming that the Xbox 360 version of Stuntman Ignition looks to 'edge out' the PS3 version. While both look 'extremely similar' graphically and in terms of the framerate, the Xbox 360 version has a number of features which aren't available in the PS3 version which is mainly as a result of the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Its gonna be a pain to shell out RM250 for a game that last probably less than 15 hrs of gameplay.

I have not bought a single bluray to date. A RM10 dvd9 can offer quality great enough to discourage me from spending RM180 for the same movie.

WTF is wrong with you guys.

I haven't bought any bluray is because I think its too expensive for a MOVIES. MF!!! I'm happy with dvd now and is that a FCUKING problem with you all. Geeze...you guys are such a idiot. When someone won't buy a bluray also hurt your feelings about the PS3. Grow up man!!!

But who is the one calling me things like its my "bad habit" or things like I should sell my PS3 and get the xbox360. I'm just posting to show my concern about the poor PS3 games in comparison to the 360. And that seems to hurt the feelings of most of you here. And then I become a joker or some guys with bad habit. Is that fair?

I as an owner of a PS3 has every FCUKing right express my dissatisfaction with the PS3 and if that is wrong, then tell me what is right?

Anyone wants to buy Lair or Warhawk games on BLURAY disc for RM200+? If I am not wrong, its a must buy title for a lot of PS3 fans here.

Here is what the IGN editors say about the 2 games.

"Lair and Warhawk both suck on PS3"

A recent podcast conducted by IGN Playstation editors discusses the upcoming Lair. They have completed their review on the title and claim that the title is painful, repetitive and not fun. Their complete review will be out in two weeks but you can listen to the podcast here. Further to this, the latest US Playstation Magazine awards Lair a 5.0 with Warhawk receiving a 6.5 as earlier posted.

Hehehe...looks like the PS3 is getting better everyday huh

The beauty was never in doubts. It is the gameplay that fall short....very short. Would you pay RM250 for 7-8 hrs of gameplay?

Sony feeling blue over failure to outsell Xbox 360 during July

Sony's David Karraker, the spokesperson who predicted the PS3 would outsell the Xbox 360 during July has told the NYtimes that he was a) only wrong by a little bit b) NPD doesn't provide the exact count and c) he is not willing to make a prediction about August's sales figures. Oh come on Dave, the PS3 did do pretty well during July, it's not all bad.

Dave Karraker, the Sony spokesman who predicted the PS3 would overtake the 360, told me that: (1) He was only wrong by a bit, and (2) NPD doesn't provide an exact count but estimates some portions of the market and (3) No, he would not care to make a prediction about August's sales figures.

RM200+ for short games =
RM5 for short game =
RM5 for AAA game =

Sorry...I am just trying to be a smart consumer. Some might disagree with me and call me stingy or whatever, but at the end of the day extra $$$ in my pocket always =

As a matter of fact I got it cheap RM2500 for a 5 Star hardware which I use for games, music & home theater....not bad at all. On the other hand RM200 for a software which last 10hrs...

OMG...you just got me confuse between hardware and software. Maybe I should just spend Rm200 for hardware and Rm2000 for software.

You are the one saying all of you stupid ...not me!!!
