Broke my controller :(

Well I didn't completely break it. I was walking down the stairs with it and I let it drop by accident. It still works except for the slightest tap of the R2 button will for example throw a grenade in COD 4. And I have to press the X button really hard to get it working. And sometimes the controller just stops working and I have to like shake it around to get it working. Good thing I bought that other controller over the weekend. I was thinking of importing a dualshock 3 but I dunno if I should or just buy another sixaxis. Any suggestions?

Probably the most intense game ever.

The game I am talking about is motorstorm. Every second of it is none stop action. I had it for a while and I never really got around to playing it but since yesterday I can't stop playing it. The graphics are great. The tracks, cars and crashes look great. The sounds are good but I don't care about sounds. Are car could sound like my lawnmower but I wouldn't really care. I think the AI is pretty good also. The drivers in it act like real people. A guy past me on his bike in it and stuch his middle finger at me.... then he drove into a wall. Serves him right. The tracks are more dangerous than your opponents. They are like so unpredictable. you could go flying up a ramp and then hit a rock. This would probably be my favourite driving game right now. Im loving it at the moment. Oh yeah online is also good to.

Just got COD 4

Well since I got my wireless internet connection working I decided I needed a good online game for it so I got COD 4. I had it on the Xbox before and I loved it so I got it for the PS3. The bad thing about it is that I am at the lowest possible rank and I will have to make my way up the leaderboards. I don't have any of my custom weapons but to hell with it. I haven't even started the single player yet. Well i'm off to play some COD 4... Oh here it is. I got it for €30 off one of my friends.

Games I want for the PS3.

Well I got the PS3 because of certain games that were exclusives for it. And here are the games I bought it for and maybe one or two others that have caught my eye.

GRID

This game was released in Ireland over the weekend but after my shopping spree I didn't have enough money left to get it. I needed about €30 to get it. I was thinking of trading in an xbox 360 game. I then thought that maybe I will trade in GTA IV but I slapped myself before doing it. But anyway, back to the game. I know it isn't a playstation exclusive but I think I will get it on the PS3. It looks great. I downloaded the demo and I am very impressed with it. I think that this could be the driving game of 08 although burnout will probably beat it. The handling is a bit tricky but you can get past that. I might pick this up over the weekend.

Little Big Planet

From the minute I saw this game I wanted it. The graphics look great and all the objects and backgrounds in the game look so realistic. I love the whole costumisation side of it. It looks like you could make anything from houses to planets and stick them in any level of your choice. I love the little characters in the game. They look like little bean bags. You can make them look like anything you want. You can even take a photo of your face and stick it on the little creatures faces. The one downside is that most of the levels will most likely be timed. I don't like timed levels. But it still looks great. I can't wait for this one.

Metal Gear Solid 4

You could kind of see this being one of my most anticapated games. I was not really that bothered with this game until I got a PS3 but now I'm looking forward to it. But I'm still not nearly as excited for this as I was for GTA IV. I don't really know much about the game but from what I have seen it looks great. Alot of people think that it will get GOTY but I still think GTA IV will get it. I heard that the game has 90 minutes of cutscenes. IGN already gave it a 9.9 and I look forward to seein what gamespot give it. I never played any of the other metal gear solid games apart from the first one on the playstation. This game will most likely push the PS3 to its limits. I look forward to playing it.

Other Games

Motorstorm 2

Resistance 2

Assassins creed 2(hopefully)

Home(not a game but still)

Rock band( still not out in Ireland)

GTA 5(one day)

Got some PS3 stuff

Well my work in zavvi is done. And the manager was so kind that, when I finished on friday, he gave me a €35 gift voucher. So with that I got Rainbow Six vegas:2. I also picked up Assassins creed and FIFA 08 with some of my left over lottery money that I had won. And last but not least I got a new playstation 3 controller because my friend and I love to play FIFA. So thats it really. I'm going job hunting tomorrow because I need a job for the summer. Here is the stuff I bought.

Working in zavvi

Well work is going good. I started last monday and everyone there is really nice. I am working in the games section of the store. So I'm working at something I'm good at. The manager told me that at the end of the work experience I would get a €40 euro voucher so I will get a game with that. But I might try to get a job there for the summer because I really like it there.

Haze.

Well I got haze yesterday and unlike most people I'm pretty happy with it. It does have a lot of problems but it is still fun. I'm am gone past the part of being a mantle trooper and I am now one of the rebels. I prefer being a rebel because it is fun to use nectar against the mantle troopers. I love to make them overdose and make them kill each other. Also aiming is better as a rebel because it is more realistic. Driving is not that good but I can get over that. The graphics are pretty good, not great. Enemy AI isn't that good either but the game is still enjoyable. At this rate I would give it a 7-8 rating. Expect a review on it.

Got a PS3.

Well I got my PS3 yesterday. I would have wrote a blog but... you know. Well anyway I dont regret getting it at all. I got motorstorm and Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. And they are great. Motorstorm is so intense and has great graphics. The same can be saidfor uncharted . I am working on getting wireless internet for it so I can play my games online. I can't wait for haze, metal gear solid and little big planet. They will be great.

It's safe to say I have the luck of the Irish.

Today I won €600 in the irish lottery. I picked three numbers to come up in the lottery and they came up in. So I put €2 on it and at 300-1 odds I won €600. I said I would give €100 to my parents though so I have €500. That means I can get that PS3 I have been after for a while. So does anyone know what game I should get with it?
