GOT TROPHIES?

Do you have one of those friends that constantly goes on about getting trophies? Pretty much everyone has one and I am no exception. One of my friends kept talking about all of his trophies and how he got them and what he had to do. I often just called him a trophy whore and laughed it off. This week I got my first chance to get a trophy on Warhawk. I started getting off by getting one then another and I just kept going. Soon I found myself a full fledged trophy whore. Now I am planning to get games just for the trophies because I found myself so caught up in the excitement. If you haven't got a trophy yet get one. If you think that you won't get addicted to getting trophies then you are dead wrong. And just think all of the work you put into the trophies will pay off when Home comes out and you have a giant trophy room filled with all of you achievements.

WELL THAY BUY PS3 OR 360/THIS WINTTER

PS3 has always been more expensive than Xbox 360 Arcade and pro consoles and the PS3 still has outsold(By several thousand each month) the the Xbox 360 six out of seven months of this year and the one month it didn't the Xbox 360 only sold 900 more console than the PS3. From what I can tell the PS3 will have outsold the Xbox 360 in August as well and that's with the price reduction on the Xbox pro 20gig($299.95). The price cut for Europe didn't make much difference for the Xbox 360. Even with the Xbox 360 more than a year head start in Europe the PS3 and Xbox 360 are running neck and neck in the number of consoles sold.

With all the me too stuff and the price cut, just seems that Microsoft are a little desperate.

In my oppinion the PS3 80gig is a way better deal with its built Wi-Fi and Blu-Ray than any of the Xbox 360 models, and your guaranteed to have a hard drive with every unit. You can add hard drive(a overly priced hard drive) but then your not really saving any money and you still don't have the value that the PS3 has.

Killzone2 Hands On

Killzone 2, while pretty freaking gorgeous, has been a bit of a tough sell since we started going hands-on with the game around E3 time. The graphics can’t seem to make up for the been-there-done-that feel that the gameplay provides, not differentiating itself enough from the FPS competition. A prettier, more sci-fi Call of Duty 4, in summary. So while the single-player could still use some more innovation, the developers are clearly putting all that and more into the multiplayer component, which is easily one of the most promising online experiences on the PS3.


Killzone 2 multiplayer is class-based, complete with ranks, tournaments, persistent experience and unlocks. But there are several elements that really set the experience apart. Lets go through them now:

1) The Graphics
It’s been said before, butt Killzone 2’s graphics rock my socks. They are some of the best we’ve ever seen in any game, and incredibly, those graphics don’t even drop a hitch when you play online. There is no noticable visual difference between the online and single-player graphics, which means it may very well be the best looking online game ever. So woo for that!

2) The Badge System
Badges make up Killzone 2’s class structure. There are five primary badges for your standard character classes. These range from Assault to Heavy Weapons to Scout to Engineer, and so forth. Now picking a primary badge does not only select your primary weapon load-out (there are multiple weapon options per primary badge), it selects your ability. The Medic, for example, has the predictable ability to revive fallen comrades. The Assault badge has a booster injection that lets you run much faster than normal. Scouts can actually cloak themselves. Very cool indeed.

But that’s not all. You can also pick a secondary badge, which determines yet another skill. For example, the Medic’s secondary badge allows him to throw down medkits for teammates (or yourself) to use. The Scout drops a beacon which scans the area and pops enemies up on friendly radar.

But the best part is that you’re not limited to picking both Medic badges. If you want to be able to revive people, but also be able to perform radar scans, you can select the Medic badge as your primary and the Scout as a secondary. You can mix and match each of the five badges, resulting in way more character classes than you’d expect. Plus, add in the different weapon loadouts for each badge and you really can create your character from the ground up.

3) Multiplayer Missions
In Call of Duty 4 (or most multiplayer games), you select a mode and stick with it. Domination, Search and Destroy, etc. Killzone 2 allows you to customize everything about your matches, including the ability to mix and match several modes in the same multiplayer match.

So say you’re playing a Capture the Flag variant. You recover the object, winning a point for your team. Instead of just doing the same thing all over again until the timer runs out, the game immediately switches to another mode…Assassination, for example. There’s no load screen, you’re just in the next mode, with your point carrying over from CTF. In a single match you can queue up a wide variety of different modes, which ensures that multiplayer shouldn’t get stale anytime soon.

4) Web-based Stats
It’ll be hard to match the powerhouse that is Bungie.net, but Guerrilla and SCEA are definitely going to try. Killzone.com will allow folks to track all of their personal stats, kill ratios and the current status and roster of their clan. It’ll give you info on upcoming tournies and allow you to see who’s the best around the world. What better way to procrastinate at work than to see if you’ve got the most melee kills with the rocket launcher?

5) It’s Not SOCOM
SOCOM has a huge following, but people generally feel a little overwhelmed by the still that folks have online. For fans, it’s great…for newbies it’s a nightmare. Killzone 2’s more cooperative modes allow you to hang in the back of the lines and provide support, lay down turrets, and so forth. You don’t need to be a twitch master to succeed here…but it helps!

So there you have it. Hopefully that gives you a taste of what you can expect. While the single player in Killzone 2 should be a fun jaunt, it appears the multiplayer is going to be this game’s bread and butter, and we can’t wait to hop online and pwn some Helghast in the coming months.”

PS3 IS KILLING

Ps3 is closing the gap between 360. The ps3 is been playing couch up and that gad is slowly closing on the 360. The 360 price drop cant stop it. So i cant wait to see what this fall is going to look like. The ps3 is really rolling out the big guns. This fall the open beta of home is coming and so is littlebigplanet. With that two things right there could keep the ps3 on top. But that's not all Sony has they have monster storm 2 resistance 2 and every good 3rd party game that the the 360 is getting. The games coming out this fall for the ps3 are amazing and the 360 it just cant find any loop hole to try and save it self. The games that Sony is pushing out this fall well help the ps3 win the console war. So all i can say to you is that the PS3 IS KILLING

Home is almost here

With home now coming out for sure some time this year. I know it cant live up to the hype. Why do i say this only because poeple expect it to be some thing its not. Home was made just for poeple to interact with each other. Its not some sexel game with real people. Home has rulls so its not secand life. Home is not a game its a community its like a town. With millions of people in it. Sony has spent 40 million dollars on home. So you know its going to be good but it cant live up to the hype.



Home to me cant go rong because i only just want home to see my friends avatars and see there home and just chill. So a cant wait but if your some one who wants home to be an ass and try to do stupid things like steal things. You wont be able to because sony well kick you out. To me this is great so i can just chill with my firends. Home is going to change the web gaming and the why we interact with are online friends.

Warhawk

Call Of Duty 5 No Love

No love for call of duty 5. The gamers that have Call of duty 4 were very sad to here that the modern warfare first person shouter the COD they love is going back to WW2. So is this good for COD5 in one why it well hart it because people well say threes to many WW2 games out there and the guns that wont be in the game. This well also help the game out because if people get this game and think it going to suck and if its any good. They well be very Happy. So well COD5 be any good we well have to what and see. Tell me what you think below.

Uncharted Drakes Fortune In Last Gen

Uncharted drakes fortune was a great game and the game came out very early in the ps3 life span. So why not one year latter we only see one game on any system that as good as that game. MGS4 to me is the only game that beats it. So why does this matter it proves how lazy developers have got in this gen. The games that look like they could be as good as Uncharted drakes fortune and MGS4 are all made by Sony. So in this gen if your Sony you can only rely one your self. In the last gen Sony did not have to do that they had the one and the only GTA3. That game alone was a great reason to have a ps2 and all the GTA's in that gen. GTA3 made gaming what it is in this gen with its open world game play. The ps3 is like the ps1. All the great games come from Sony and it seems with the games coming out just this year they know what the hell there doing what do you think?

EA/ MADDEN09

So is madden better on the 360 for this year just like the year before. Hate to say it but it is. It is not as bad as MADDENO8 but it just plays better on the 3shity. Madden09 looks better on ps3 as it should because of blu ray. The ps3 madden lags more then the 360 Madden. EA's Madden fame took off wen the ps2 was on top. Madden on the ps2 was the first time wen it fault like you could really get into the game. So why has the game been better on the 360. I think its only because in one point in time the 360 was the most strongest system on the market. Things change the ps3 is the new most powerful system. So why is the game not better on ps3 maybe some one should ask EA they keep sucking the 360s ass but we should not blame EA. EA is going with the money Microsoft gives EA money for many more games so why not madden one of EAs top sellers. Microsoft has to give developers money to try to keep up with the more stronger system. This is the only why they can stay in the consul war,

80 gig ps3

With the 80 gig ps3s coming the old 40 gig's well drop down to 299$. This has already happen in the UK. So why stop making 40 gig ps3s. For 299$ people well by a ps3. The 80 gig well be 399$ with is alot more then 299$. If you can remember the ps2 at lunch was 299$. People are welling to spend 300$ then 400$ on a console. Sony needs a cheep ps3 to try to sell as mush as the wii every mouth.

With Sony's line up this fall they are going tobe rolling to cash$. So they truty can loss a little more on hardware. All i am saying is you have to loss money to make money. Sony does not pay for exclusive games. So they need to do something to get that ps2 fan bass back. Let's hope Sony reads this.

How To Download Themes

Go to your web browser on your PS3. Then go to google.com. Once there type in PS3 themes and hit search. The one that my friends and I discovered and we think works best is the one that is the fifth one down. http://ps3themes.de/ There are many different and interesting themes that you can download from here. Be careful though because themes take up a lot of memory that if you download too many it can put a huge dent in your free memory.

HOW TO GET BETAS

I was playing online with one of my friends and we were talking about some of the things that sony is going to be coming out with and how excited we were to get them. One of the biggest things we talked about was the playstation home beta. He mentioned to me that one of his friends had the beta and told him the secret to getting betas from sony. I was instantly intrigued and I asked him how his friend did it. Apparently if you go to the playstation website and register on playstation underground you can register all of your sony products. Even when you register your products it says that you won't be sorry and will have a chance to get new betas. The more that you register the more chance you have to get the betas.

PS3 NOT 4 OLD PEOPLE LIKE WII

The PlayStation 1 came out in 1986 in Japan and latter in the US. The PlayStation 1 sold over 100 million and PS2 sold over 140 million. The PS3 has only sold in it's second year 16 million consoles . Sony has won the last 2 gens so is it time to loss? The PS3 is in last place right now but it well go to second over the 360 in the nest 2 years. I don't think it well ever catch up to the wii. The wii has changed the way of gamers. It has opened to new people who have never been into playing video games like are grandparents. The PS3 is mostly for people who play games for 5 hours a day and not people who play it for a hour like are grandparents would. The ps3 was made for gamers not for old people or for little kids. But ps3 is the best consol out for a true gamer so if your a true gamer you should be very happey with your ps3.

Only 30%

If MGS4 is only using 30% of the ps3 power. Then what kind of games well the ps3 be poshing out wen developers know how to use 90% of the ps3 power? I say 90% of the ps3 power only because developers never use 100% of any system. The ps3 is the most powerful system on the market. If you ever played MGS4 you know it is one of the best dam games you ever played. So if 30% is what developers can do right now and still make games that can bet out any ether game on any console. I can't wait so see the games coming to the ps3 in the next 3 to 5 years.

Folding @ Home

Folding @ Home may seem complicated when you look and read about it but really it isn't at all. Folding @ Home is funded by Stanford University. What they did instead of getting a super computer which costs millions of dollars is made a deal with Sony. This software studies the foldings and misfoldings of proteins which can cause cancer and many other diseases. So Stanford sends a little bit of a model of folding and misfolding proteins. Your PS3 runs the model through and then sends all of the information back to Stanford in which case they send your PS3 another model. So in its simplest form Folding @ Home can cure cancer.
As my friends and I have theorized not only does "Folding Home" help Stanford but it also helps boost your internet connection for online play. Please join our Folding @ Home team. The team number is 118417. To join the team go into your Folding @ Home application. Hit triangle and go to identity. Then click join team. Next type in the team number you want to join (118417) and click ok.

Things change

Blue ray

This is Sony's ace in the hole in the console wars. Now even Microsoft understands that because of their own HD discs have been discontinued and now is buying Blu-Ray discs from Sony to start installing in their products. Blu-ray technology is the newest member of the DVD family. It costs a little more than regular DVD's because of its superior look. It uses a blue laser to give of a clearer and more vivid image.
