PS3 Initial Reactions

Ridge Racer 7 is awesome, Sonic The Hedgehog sucks ass!

I knew RR wouldn't let me down. I've always loved these games ever since I found them in the arcades where I would spend hours and money on them. I just love the whole arcadiness of it and it might be why I've never been able to get into Gran Turismo. The way it looks and the way it plays, it's just a whole lot of fun and the grand prix stuff makes me feel like I'm working towards something. That something I don't feel when I play Motorstorm, which again is a fun game but it kind of feels pointless when I'm playing it.

I'm incredibly disappointed in Sonic The Hedgehog. I had some pretty big expectations of this game given the amazingly cool trailers and in the end it just sucks. It feels like it was poorly put together. I honestly thing they've been told to make a Sonic The Hedgehog for next gen. The intro FMV stutters like crazy, so I don't know if that's how it is or I have a buggered up disc, but everything else works fine for other games, just Sonic stutters. I just don't feel any enjoyment when I play it and it's a real disappointment.

Resistance is the surprise. I'm not big on first person shooters and the only one I've ever really played is Half Life. I'm really enjoying Resistance despite totally sucking at it. That's the difference with Sonic. I keep dying in that too but it feels like for stupid reasons, where as in Resistance, I'm dying because I'm not playing smart enough. I also have Call Of Duty 3 but I've not played that yet.

I got the Blast Factor demo and loved it so bought that and that's a great little game to play for a few minutes. Also got GT since that was free but not really into that. It doesn't help that it's not much of a proper game either. I love the look of it, and I like playing about with the Cross Media Bar. I got wireless up and running within seconds. I'm very happy with it at the moment, and now I'm seriously considering buying a decent HDTV so I can get the best out of it.

Don't know what anyone else thinks. I'm sure there are very different opinions.
