Have to say Folklore... its a beautifully made game with a very engaging story and unique gameplay (not to mention the very cool implementation of the sixaxis)... it has its drawbacks... but i think the Gamespot review majorly underrates...

I think the primary reason why PS3 isnt doing as well as the 360 is because of the entry price barrier... I think mostly everything followed from there... bad PR, loss of exclusives etc.

When I compared the PS3 exclusive only line-up with the 360 line-up (and I'm not even talking about what is to come)... I found the PS3 having a lot of variation across genres with Resistance, R&C, Uncharted, Folklore and even Lair (even if it is a bad game.. though I haven't played it... I like the direction in which Sony's internal studios are taking their gaming).

Compared to that the 360 library boasts of mostly FPS like Halo, Bioshock etc.. though I would admit that they must be extremely good FPS... but in terms of variation... and quality I have no major complaints on what has been offered as PS3 exclusives with even better things to look forward to.

I think the whole "no games" argument is just a sad attempt at creating negative publicity around PS3 by MS and fanboys. While I can understand why MS is doing it (after all they're here to make the money)... its just sad that gamers turn a deaf ear and eye to some extremely good offerings in some sort of religious fervor towards a gaming console.

Stupid question but I might as well ask... is it possible to increase the speed with which you turn left/right etc on a console FPS (using the right analog stick)?

I just find it too damn slow and the default speed thats there...

Get the 40 Gigs man.. especially when you have your old PS2.

Unless you want the extra USB ports I dont see any reason for not getting the 40 gigs.

I've finished portal and currently playing HL2... I haven't had any huge problems so far... yes there are a couple of frame rate hiccups here and there... but they are extremely rare and nuthing tht wud make the game unplayable (as reported on IGN)... for e.g. the framerate acted up only twice (tht too for a couple of seconds) in the 5 hrs I spent on Portal.

Why exactly isn't Folklore your thing? Only asking in case you are under the impression that its an RPG (i was before I looked more carefully!).. its an action adventure with RPG elements.. in fact it reminds me of Diablo/Diablo 2 a lot in some ways! And it has a kickass story too... so I would really suggest that one...

And I would also strongly suggest giving Assassin's Creed a try... some people love this game... and hate it because its very different from the stuff thats usually out... so its a matter of preference... you can only know if its your thing by trying it... I would not suggest going by word of mouth on it..

Oh and if you dont have a 360/PC, you need the Orange Box.. absolutely no doubt in that

Cheers
