any of the sony exclusives are a must download. (lets not count haze as a sony exclusive :P)

theres not many online demos b/c most of the companies take away those servers after the game comes out.

i think split second's online demo is still running strong, might want to check that out if you love racing

nope, as long as you put in the code and got your microsoft points they are yours forever.

its talking about the code for the microsoft points you get. that code expires. but the points do not.

modems are always a hassle dealing with , glad you got yours back working

im fine with no-one talking (i dont talk either)

even though nobody talks theres still alot of teamwork.

i would rather have silent teammates who work together than a loudmouth who does nothing to help the team

and all the people ive seen with mics in bc2 always have the lower scores

im thinking you probably messed it up somewhere when you were trying to fix it

btw, dont worry about it saying "strict" in black ops, b/c ever since that last update alot of people have had thier nat saying "strict" (even me)

if you reset the modem then see if you can try doing what you did to get "open" those 6 months ago

when it was first saying strict in-game. were you having problems with the internet, or was it just with call of duty?

b/c every so often it says strict for me. but i know i have open nat. so i just close out of multiplayer and go back in and its showing "open" again.

as long as the parents arnt watching over thier shoulder 24/7

i think it would be fine b/c most kids see/hear worse stuff at school. so mgs4 is nothing compared to that.

like the person above said you can skip the cutscenes if it gets a little too explict.

that noise is a good thing, it means the fans are working correctly.

i hear that noise all the time while im playing

it does get annoying, but i would rather hear it b/c i know that the fans are working and the ps3 is cooling down

btw, dont play uncharted 2 or you might have a heart attack (b/c the fans kick into high gear while playing that game) :P

i dont think this is a good game to give to a little kid, if thats what your asking

theres not as much gameplay violence as other games b/c its a stealth game.

but there is violence in the cutscenes so that would be a problem.

plus, theres ALOT of crude and suggestive themes.

but its a really great game, just not one that would be appropriate for the younger folks
