PS3 Ahoy!

I finally got my PS3 in the mail, after many a UPS debacle, and have begun my journey into the PlayStation Network.

I have to say so far, I like it more than the Xbox Live scene. The menu and marketplace just feels cleaner, futuristic, and active. I also gave "PS3 Home" a try and found it pretty addictive. 2 hours later I made a couple friends and played a few free minigames inside the virtual rooms. I even bought myself a Dead Space suit just to stick out a little. And stick out I did! All in all, PS3 Home is not half bad and I would definitely prefer it to a text-based chat room any day.


Perpetually doing 'The Robot'

Breaking the Dry Spell

My beautiful wife has inspired me by starting a blog and so, I shall once again pick up the pencil (or in my case, dust off the keyboard) and write. But first, a few loose ends:

• Gears of War 2 - Great graphics, cool premise, sweet multiplayer, strange story.
  
• Dead Space - AWESOME game. Love the cheap scares and the interesting weapons.
  
• Mirror's Edge - My personal game of the year. Ending sucked, but it has a lot of potential for the future.
  
• Fable 2 - Fun, clever, but it has a horrible multiplayer and zero after-play value.
  
• Braid - Confusing story, great use of time manipulation. Very addictive.
  
• Crysis -Didn't finish it, but loved where the story was going. Gorgeous level design and huge environments.
  
• Burnout Paradise -As someone who isn't a racing fan, this has to be the best car game I've ever played. Loads of replay value, online play is solid, and plenty of DLC.
  

Whew! There we go. I think I'll take a break from old games and focus on new ones. About 3 months ago I got GameFly and I've had the chance to play a lot of newer releases. Hopefully soon I'll get the next game in my queue: Mass Effect 2.

Pants on the ground, pants on the ground

Back into the swing of things

Well, after a long and restful winter vacation, I'm back. Since the break I've played and completed Gears of War 2, Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Fable 2, Braid, and I'm working on Crysis and Burnout Paradise. After I clear out the cobwebs I'll post my analysis of these (mostly) enjoyable endeavors.


On a side note I've been helping a good friend setup his Guild's website, The Realm Warriors. They are a friendly bunch that play Gears of War, Call of Duty, and Star Kingdoms. Check 'em out, they won't bite.
