PS3 


At first I was thinking about skipping Super Street Fighter IV, since I already have the regular Street Fighter IV from last year. But after watching this trailer I have changed my mind.

I’ve been looking forward to Final Fantasy XIII for such a long time. I got it on the release day and I’ve been playing it as soon as I’ve come home from work.

I’m currently about 12 hours in and just started chapter 6. I probably did something wrong, but it took me 16 minutes to beat the Aster Protoflorian at the end of chapter 5. Normally the battles are a couple of minutes long, maximum.

You’ve probably read some mixed reviews of this game online (I probably read too much about this game before I started playing it) where people are complaining about this and that. I only have one major gripe with this game: […] there’s more! »

 

I got my copy of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (PS3) today (on the 10th I mean). At first I was so tired that I didn’t think I would be able to play it tonight after work, but I couldn’t not play a game I’ve been looking forward to this much :)

I decided to try playing the single player campaign on the “hardened” difficulty.

The game is very intense! The tempo and amount of action is incredible. It switches back and forth between different parts of the story much like the first game did.

Once I had started I couldn’t put the controller down (except for taking bites of my already cold dinner), so I ended up finishing the campaign in one sitting :) . Took a bit over seven hours (and I usually take a long time to finish games). I died many times, but it wasn’t overly difficult.

Now it’s time for bed. I’ll try the “Special Ops” mode and multiplayer tomorrow night.

The game is very violent and definitely deserves its 18+ rating.

To sum up: this game is awesome! :D

 

I got Crystal Defenders for the PS3 the other night and I just have to complain a bit about the game’s description […] there’s more! »

 

I went by a local game shop that’s near where I work yesterday and when I left I saw a handwritten note on the door that said that some dudes from Starbreeze Studios would be there the day after (today) to talk about and sign The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena games.

I decided to go there after work today to check it out and buy the game (it’s pay day). I had played the demo and the game seemed pretty decent.

Today I picked up my long awaited Mad Catz Street Fighter IV FightStick for my PS3. I’ve never played with an arcade stick before, only regular hand controllers, so it was a bit weird getting used to how to push the buttons.

As soon as I started using the stick I started to suck (or suck slightly more perhaps) because I couldn’t […] there’s more! »

 

I heard that the demo for Mirror’s Edge wouldn’t be out until the 7th, but I checked Playstation Store today and it’s out!! Gaa!! :D

 

I just have to vent a little: today I received my second pre-order bonus code for Mirror’s Edge. The first one was for the demo (which won’t be out until the 7th) and this one was to download two tracks off the Mirror’s Edge soundtrack from musicofmirrorsedge.com.

I opened the site with Google Chrome and entered my code. Then […] there’s more! »

 
Faith

I just downloaded the latest trailer for the upcoming game Mirror’s Edge, by the Swedish company DICE, from PlayStation Network.

First of all, this game looks great! I’ve seen stills from the game in a magazine and thought the concept looked cool, but the trailer really made an impression on me. I find the visual esthetics very appealing and they chose great music to set the mood in the trailer.

From the stills I had seen earlier I thought that the protagonist was a guy (which I found a bit boring), but now they show the character you’re playing: the runner Faith. She looks so cool! I’m a sucker for strong female characters and, for me, playing Faith makes the game much more appealing.

I made a PSP version of the trailer that you can check out if you have a PSP or if you just want a high quality trailer with a small file size. If you have a PS3 you can check out the HD trailer at PSN.
