I've been a huge Sony and more importantly a Playstation fan ever since I got the original Playstation as a christmas gift. The console delivered many memorable experiences such as Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Silent Hill and many more. The Playstation 2 was arguebly the strongest console of last generation too, but has the Playstation 3 failed to build on previous successes?

Consoles of the last generation had many games that distinguised themselves from each other, but this seems to be no longer the case. While the Playstation 2 had Resident Evil and Grand Theft Auto and the X-box had Fable and Halo, both were very strong consoles. However, this generation sees many once exclusive games go multiplatform. While it's widely accepted that this actually is a good thing for games overally I can't help thinking-- is it a good thing for the actual consoles? This generation sees numerous games including Resident Evil 5, Devil May Cry 4 and Grand Theft Auto IV all jump ship and become multiplatform. Whilst the X-box 360 retains its top dogs such as Halo 3, Fable 2 whilst pumping out top unique titles such as Bioshock, Mass effect, Gears of war and several others. I'm starting to think that the Playstation is losing ground, which isn't a good thing for Sony.

Online Gaming The Future

Is online gaming the future? These days most people around game websites do nothing but talk about their amazing high gamerscore or their achievements and what not. They relish the challenge of playing like minded players from across the globe, but does everyone feel like this? THere's nothing I like more than to kick back and relax and take my time through my own game at my own pace and leisure. I'm not the biggest fan of online games if the truth is known.

I've come across people that are more than rude. The majority of communites that I've stumbled across happen to be aggrogant, rude and not very forthcoming. You ask the simplest of questions and you're branded an idiot. I'm not saying all online gaming communites are like this, because I spend the vast majority of my time playing World Of Warcraft, which has a big share of its idiots, however my server is very homely, generous and genuinely happy to be playing that game. What does everyone think?

Gaming Is The New Holywood!?

Every game I come across has antics that scream HOLLYWOOD in my face. Games that implement every single Hollywood action film known to man. If anyones seen the Final Fantasy XIII trailer then you'll most likely know what I'm babbling about. Over the top spinning of camera angles, awkward zooming, bulletime, impossible fighting manoveurs and everything else you'd expect from a Matrix film. There's a time when these effects can slip into the odd game and work well, but most of the time it's purely over the top and un-called for.

I'm rambling... it's late and my spelling amongst other things is awefull. Time to call it a night.
