So what games are you playing on your PS3?

Fallout 3 and LBP I hope...

i have LBP but havent really got into it yet. it's ok i guess. Not bothered abut Fallout 3 tbh.

I got GTAIV on saturday and keep playing that, it's as good as ever. FIFA is great and is back to its roots (it's stopped trying to be PES and realised it was better than PES all along anyway) and Star Wars: Force Unleashed is great cheap entertainment for a single player game.

Linux and tbe whole media centre (streaming, divx playback etc etc) stuff has really excited me. I am dumbfounded as to why everyone wouldnt want a PS3 has a multimedia entertainment system. i've just got a brand new HDTV (today) to go with it, and i'm glad as hell i wont need a PC alongside it anymore (i can always plug the Mac into the TV if i'm desperate) all my whored downloads can be streamed from another room, or just copied to a memorystick to play them on it.

I am glad to read you are happy with it.

Fallout 3 has been voted the best game of 2008 on the PS3,X360 and PC. Fallout 1 and 2 are amazing too, so I would suggest at least renting F3 and giving it a go. One problem with F3 is that it needs dedication.

GTA 4 is amazing, my friend and I take turns to see how many helicopters we can take out in 1 life, I've managed about 4 or 5.

Motorstorm Pacific Ridge is pretty Awesome too, Prince of Persia is great as well, Agree about FIFA Horace, it's back to it's best!

@Skateblind; I wouldnt say Im a fanboy... If I went back in time, Id have NOT bought the PS3, and got a 360 instead.

PS3 is struggling for games... FACT

skateblind · February 08, 2009, 10:37:41 AM

True, but there are some amazing games for both systems.

Whoops

You are far too good at those games

The whole setup looks pretty cool though, no UAE problems or slow down and its with a nice controller on a big screen. Thats why I love playing on this wide screen mac, but unfortunately the games are not as quick as that.

Next video request:

Moonstone
Speedball 2
Flashback or Another World

Thats if you are gonna make another one, you seem to have it down now. Did you have to create scripts for each game separately and are they like batch files or something?
