"My God...it's so shiny!", they were the first words i managed to conjure up when asked what do i think of the PS3 after my first go on the celebrated console. Yep, finally i managed to play a PS3! I know, few months late but my god it was awesome. My cousin showed me the online store (fantastic), the multiplayer options etc and it was by far better than Xbox live. Being a former 360 owner myself i thought the PS3 clearly matched up to the Xbox and definitly surpassed it in terms of accessabiliy, quality and generally.
I managed to get a few games on Motorstorm which was amazingly addictive using the new sixaxis but it was hard to use at first. I'm loving the new trigger buttons on the new dualshock, very nice but i can't help feel that the controller is missing the rumble feature-but hey, they're apparently developing the rumble/sixaxis controller so it will all be good in the end. I played Resistance Fall of man which i found visually impressive and loved the enemy units but it felt like just another shooter to me. saying that, i only played campaign so i'm sure multiplayer is a blast. I also managed to get my hands on Rainbow Six Vegas which was OK but really wasn'tmy type of shooter-Too fiddly and because it was a straight port from the 360 it looked a bit rough round the edges.
I also played some demos my cousin downloaded from the online store like 'Heavenly Sword' which looks very promising indeed, lush graphics and great combat. Also played that insane downladable game 'Calling All Cars' which was a great laugh. Also downlaoded the new MGS4 trailer featuring Vamp and the new kickass Raiden ninja!
From what i've seen PS3 is amazing and overall it definitly offers alot more than 360 in terms of quality and innovation. 360 has a stronger line-up of games but when PS3 kicks into gear it will set itself apart and pull away from the 360 making it the best cosnole on the planet. With MGS4 on the way aswell as Killzone 2, Heavenly Sword, Haze, Unreal Tournament aswell asnew upcoming online abilitiesand much much more the future looks bright.
