BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The PS2 Burnout games are good. Takedown (3) is probably the best iteration of the franchise.

I also loved Black in a mindless shiny shooty bang bang way. Great for a loud 30 minute burst, and surprisingly tactical if you go on the harder setting.

it's in the post. your a gent!

Getting right into Dead Space 2 at the moment. Loving playing it late at night with the lights off, seems much the same as the first one which is fine by me.

I need to buy that. Never finished the first one because I got pissed off with the PC controls. So going to get it on ps3.

I played the first on my slightly underpowered laptop, loving the new one on the PS3. So nice having smooth graphics and not waiting around for things to load.

Quick question - what's the advantage of the new Xbox against the old 360?

Unless it have blu-ray, I can't see much advantage between the two system, it seemed very much an Xbox with all the feature that only come as an add-on for the original 360.

it was the delay between moving the mouse and the screen moving that really got to me. I had to turn up the sensitivity loads to reduce it, but then it was really sensitive and I couldn't aim for shit. Loads of fun though.

@Ed - AFAIK the new model of the 360 is basically a fix for the RROD problem they experienced with the original. It's not an upgrade in terms of performance or functionality, but it doesn't cost any more than the old one would at this stage.

As I say though, I don't know the specifics. Just what I thought.

As above but also much quieter and has built in wireless conectivity (if that's the right word) meaning you don't have to pay nr £50 for a dongle!

The dongle cost £50? bugger.

needed to get one as I've moved and it's no longer near a router.

Plus it's a lot smaller and quieter (apparently). Most importantly, it's glossy black so matches my TV/DVD set up etc :D

Dead Space 2 with surround sound in a dark room has frightened the absolute tits off me several times. It's also got a reasonably good plot, and carries on very well from the first with a few decent flashbacks.

It's most scary when completely sober, but unfortunately I'm often quite drunk which seems to take the edge off.

sol Calibur - the best fighting game franchise EVER!

FACT.

Too fucking right. Though the original on the dreamcast is still the best.

Ahh the dreamcast....

Just read that Guitar Hero has been axed.

I never played it, but my work colleague has built his whole awful record collection around that franchise.

There will be tears before bed time.

bought dead space 2, put a couple of hours in and its scaring me
its pretty good.
I also just bought Move of ebay for £30 so i can play extraction lol
hope its not shit.

okay so no interest in the ps2 games, off to exchange place we go...

ps, bought uncharted 2 off play.com, and its been almost a week and no sign of it! Harrumphing as we speak, if it doesn't arrive after 21days then I can ask for another copy of it. Its never taken more than a day or two for a game to arrive from play so I am suspicious as all hell.

pps, started playing batman arkham asylum, which is nice, cut scenes are quite cool, and I'm enjoying how the game slowly reveals more of batman's skills, as it teaches you what to do, rather than just forcefeeding you them as quickly as possible..

^ Arkham Asylum = fave game of 2009 (along with MW2)

Anybody played Need For Speed : Hot Pursuit?

Tempted to get either that or the GTA4 Episodes for this weekend.

Had a quick go on it, it's alright, not a huge fan of the car handling (speaking of which, has anyone played GRID? Am I the only one who finds the car handling horrifically terrible?)

Go for GTA4 Episodes, i've got it and it's awesome, The Ballad Of Gay Tony is basically a modern day Vice City.

Speaking of which, downloaded Vice City a few days back on Steam, still fucking amazing after all these years.

Will do, thanks.
