ben heck is a god and makes sweet things

ya charity is always good..it does look awesome

so i rented Army of Two for the weekend til GTA4 comes out..anyone else got it?? would love to play co-op

army of two never got cuz i heard it was meh...I still wanna try it though.from all the reviews I read, GTA4 is better on ps3. on xbox i guess theres longer loading (hahah stupid ppl and no hdd's) more pop in and shorter draw distance. So I'm leaning toward the ps3 one... but i wont buy it for some weeks, I'd like to see how it pans out and get gt5 and other games taken care of.

GT5 wont be out til next year man, should just get GTA4 for the ps3 til then..but ya army of two is meh...great graphics and awesome storyline..it's very similar to gears of war, but i dont know..dont like how it's played..

got this off IGN.com in their review article on GTA4Quote »For those wanting to know which version looks better, the edge goes to the PS3. The textures and framerate are comparable, but the PS3 has far less pop-in. The 360 has richer colors, but the PS3 has better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner. Because GTA IV can preload onto the PS3 hard drive, the in-game loads are faster. Don't worry Xbox owners, the load times are rarely more than 30 seconds and don't occur very often. The slight visual edge goes to PS3, but the 360 is no slouch. Either version will do you proud.looks like PS3 wins in this one!ontop of that, watch this review video ign did, game looks so amazing i cant waithttp://xbox360.ign.com/dor/obj....html

PS3 version for me. Apparently nither the Wii nor the PS3 can play 360 games...

i have bunch of friends getting it for x360, but f that. im pretty sure ill grab it for ps3 later on, faster loading and i got friends and you GV'ers to play with on ps3

yup i heard the x360 has lag issues, long loading, pop in and short draw distance. HAHAH and i had all these x360 fanboys making fun of me that games install to ps3 and they suck...uhhh id rather have them install and not have those problems so almost done with class A in gt5, wow there are some hard trials. Online can be fun, but i hate when some ppl just ram you off the road, so lame. I hope they do friend online soon so we can get a room and join up to play.

I hope they do friend online soon so we can get a room and join up to play.ya i agree...GT5 is hard in the A class..i havent played it in awhile..and online im not a fan of..with the ramming and stuff..im sure in the regular game it'll have options for that..but im not worried about GT5 yet..i played metal gear solid online today at my buddies house..game is pretty sweet..controls are a little hard to get used to but once you do..it's pretty good..but GTA4 will be on in 2 days..so thats all im focused on

I gave up on the online game play in GT5. I only have 1 S class race left, Ive raced it probably 15 times and the best I can get is 9th. It's the 700 point race on the Suzuka Circuit. Cant beat it no mater what. I'll play some tonight but then its all about the GTA.AronEdit: I almost forgot the AI is crooked in the S class also. Will ram you from behind going into a corner giving you a ramming penalty, or will ke tapping you on the rear quarter panel giving you a penty as well.

i havent touched GT5 in awhile now..lol..i get bored of it for some reason

I got my GTA today, I was hoping to get out of work at a half day but that didn't happen. Just got done with some yard work and the game is instaling, gotta play I only have until 6:45 till the wife gets home.Aron

I gotta catch up with you guys lol don't have GTA4. Still need to beat A class in GT5

my ps3 is at Jeff's house so if "I" am online its him, he's fun to play with, maybe ill ship him gta4 this weekend.....

haven't played any GT5 since GTA4 came out LOL but thats to be expected. both are awesome but GTA4 is just more fun.

lol im in the same boat..havent touched GT5 since even before GTA4 came out..was playing Army Of Two for a few days before GTA4...btw love the new sig north...or should i say cosmic

so i've downloaded the demos to Grid and Haze..Grid is alright...havent tried Haze yet but will, sounds like a great gamealso downloaded the bourne conspericy game..pretty sweet action game

heck yeah i have all 3 of those queued up, but jeff's internet is unzuesly slow. So the waiting begins I have the grid demo on my x360, you can tell the resemblance from dirt, i need to play it more to get a good feel on how to drive though.

ya u really can feel the resemblance from dirt..which i beat 100% for 360 ...the bourne game is pretty cool..i got lost a few times cause i didnt know where to go..but overall i think it's a rental..played Haze aswell..iunno...great graphics and all..but i wasnt feeling it for some reason

not sure who here is a socom fan, but i am, been a fan since the first one came out and have played/beat everyone..played online religiously for along time aswell..http://ps3.ign.com/articles/874/874021p1.htmlwas reading up on the new one..it's an online-only based socom, so theirs no single player..but the socom franchise has been mainly all about the online..alot of cool new features coming..hopefully we can get enough people from here to make a clan and kick some (removed)

Okay, I just picked up Ferrari Challenge. This is the most realistic handling game i have EVER played. It makes "forza 2" feel like a straight arcade racer and GT5p feel like a slight arcade game. I have been playing over 2 hours and STILL cannot place 3rd because my race line sucks. The best I got so far was 6th. Much more practice needed for me. If you want to actually "race" this is the game to get, its FANTASTIC. Graphics are slightly less as good as gt5 but still goodhandling is ultra amazing, maybe better than gt5AI - um yes they actually do stuff! better than gt5p, they fight back, wont let you draft etc. sound - music is ok, engine = awesome, i just turn the music/effects down and engine UP!easily a 9 out of 10 game, if you want a "sim racer" get this!I am going to the 12am rls of mercenaries 2 in a hour...almost got it at walmart but it wouldnt ring up tuesday :/ said "not allowed for sale yet" darn! almost got away with it early

ok ps3'ers did anyone get Socom?! I just got it and wow brings back hella awesome memories. This new one is mostly older maps redone and a new map. its sooooo much fun!! yeah i should get back to playing it. Join me!

I was looking at it. They've got it on at best buy for $40. Never played the other ones though.I'm too busy with NHL 09. 27 games left in the regular season.

Recently bought "Pure" ATV Freestyle game, highly addictive. Also, any Madden or NCAA Football gamers on here? At least I can get my (removed) kicked by someone on here instead of random high school kids

I picked up Guitar Hero World Tour on sunday for the PS3. While its still just a guitar hero game, its got a lot of cool new features. You can customise your character and even alter the ones that come with the game. A lot of cool animations this time around, I noticed my guitar hero singing along with the lead singer. Got drums this time around. I haven't tried that out yet, gonna leave that for the wife. Star power is different also. you get cool lighting coming from your guitar.I've been playing gigs in career and the battles are a lot different from GH III. Instead of battling and making them miss notes and such, you simply have to play against the boss and do better then them. I won both battles cause I didn't miss a note. You simply need to end with the crowd cheering you more then the other guy.But the player vs player battles still exists. There are a ton of new songs. I still need to go online to get the rest of the songs.Freak On A Leash (KORN) is probably my fav to play so far.

watch out GH:WT symbols on the drums are known to break real easy. So I would assume they will be having some fix/recall.

Insider: Activision knew all about Guitar Hero WT defects before releaseAn industry insider has followed up on our news article which noted that Guitar Hero World Tour may be on the verge of a broken instrument epidemic. Our trusted insider has come forward to further confirm the problems mentioned yesterday, by revealing some interesting news from when he added the Best Buy Media Holiday Kickoff 2008. He told us that "when I was at a recent show, before the game was released, they were demoing GHoT.... they must have changed the cymbals 6 times during the show. AT LEAST." The respective show was held on September 22nd, so our insider notes that Activision were very much aware of the instrument problems BEFORE the game's official release. I personally know nothing, I am just passing info on

They are not real cymbals, you can't wail on them. just tap them works.

The PS3 rocks.... had to share my "race chair"... i tried using my wheel and pedals on a little table but it just wasnt right. I am fascinated with the physics engine in GT5 Prologue. Cant be beat. Combined with the forcefeedback wheel, its amazing. Now if only I can figure out how to integrate some hydraulics into the chair frame, I could simulate turning and braking forces.... Seat is adjustable From the drivers seat...

thats wicked cool!If your seat starts moving, better put in a harness bar.

Have you tried Ferrari challenge? IMO its better than GT5 for physics. Ill post up pics of braggamerights racing chair that I use. I freelance for them and they got a sweet race setup w/ a real racing chair and the nice 6spd logitec steering wheel.

I've only been playing GT5 so far.... I look forward to moving on to something new as soon as I work my way through this game!Your race chair sound awesome! I wanted to get one of those but the cost seemed way too high. Definitely post up the pics!! I cant wait to see it.

yeah rent or buy ferrari challenge if you want another racer. otherwise get littlebigplanet! its sooo awesome.Yeah this chair setup is 600 bucks! ouch :S stupid iphone..its a pain to upload pics

I've been playing Tomb Raider since 1996 when it first came out. They got Tomb Raider Underworld coming out Monday. It ties up some connections between Tomb Raider 1 and Tomb Raider Legend. Looks really cool. I'm going to pick up a copy next week. Anyone else play action/adventure games besides me?

Mav the demo was pretty fun. I love TR!!!oh i need to get those racing chair pics up.

Quote, originally posted by northvibe »Mav the demo was pretty fun. I love TR!!!oh i need to get those racing chair pics up.yeah I don't have an Xbox so I had to dl the PC version. Its got some insane system requirements for the PC. I had everything but the min requirement of 2gb of ram. So I could only play about 10 mins of the demo before running out of virtual memory and the demo closed. But I saw enough... its a beautiful looking game. Best in the series so far by appearances.

wow thats a sweeeeeet chair

heres the setup at the store: 6spd manual or any gearing blow that, ie. 4/5. Also had paddle shifting and a clutch pedal.A racing setup is sooo much fun!!!

Quote, originally posted by northvibe »Mav the demo was pretty fun. I love TR!!! Well been playing the full version that came out on the 18th. I picked up a copy yesterday. I'm finding some minor glitches here and there but nothing to important. But the graphics and size of the levels... wow.The demo of Thailand is about 1/4 of the whole level. Took me 3 hours to complete and that was 3 hours of constantly moving, solving puzzles and getting to the next area. I hear the game its short... but 3 hours for that level didn't feel like short to me. The areas are huge and beautiful.

Well I picked up the new Prince of Persia for the PS3 the other day thanks to a fred myer's gift card. Very cool game. The levels are beautiful and the traps are interesting to say the least. Ubisoft Montreal made this one and the story is pretty gripping. Had a twist at the end that left me kinda and then as it sunk in lol.Great game IMO

That chair is a killer set up. I have been playing mirrors edge on ps3 lately, pretty cool game. It does get a little repetitive though.
