So broke down and bought uncharted 2 today. I also picked up assassins creed 2 and left 4 dead 2. Now with those dragon's age and modern warfare 2 Im absolutely in gamer heaven at the moment lol. I have to say I am most excited to play uncharted 2. I've been looking forward to and putting this off for too long.
Uncharted 2 is one of a handful of games that have me dusting off my ps3 and willing to set my 360 controller down. I agree with the general view everyone seems to be stating that mw2 did kind of disappoint (its still great) but it disappoints in a way that re5 disappoints its more of the same although that same is AAA goodness. SpecOps is what Im finding to be the main attraction after finishing single player in a day! (sadly it was extremely short)Uncharted 2 being exclusive and still selling 1 million especially on the ps3 is an accomplishment. I for one can't wait to get my mits on it. Maybe tomorrow.
Sony has definitely put a lot of time and effort into their online platform and while not necessarily on par with xbox live offerings and the mindshare that ms controls with regard to online play its only apparently getting better. I have all 3 major consoles and I play my 360 the most hands down by probably 10 to 1 versus either of my other 2 consoles but the main reason for this is since the xbox launched first most of my friends have it and didn't see a point in getting the ps3 when I got that so for that simple reason when I buy a multiplatform game if I intend to play it online I buy the 360 version. If I had more friends playing playstation 3 then Im sure I'd be playing on that system more. I still think that in my experience with both the 360 is the superior offering as far as online matchmaking, lag free gaming and people playing teambased games with microphones (which is a huge one for me). At this rate it appears that microsoft is starting to run into a position where it only has two real options, firstly find some new way to innovate in the online space to really seperate itself as the superior product and thus justify gamers (myself included) paying the 50 a year or its at the very least going to have to make the online play free for both silver and gold and convert gold accounts into accounts that get exclusive dlc free and or early and other premium features while silver has access to those things but at a price. Something like that I think would be a much better alternative to what they are currently doing especially with sony nipping at their heels.
Wow, what to think...Well owning a ps3, 360, and wii. I can say my ps3 and wii collect serious dust. I do believe the ps3 is a great system however I have had far fewer great gaming moments on it in comparison to my 360 or even my wii (which is also rather dusty at the moment). The 360 just has a much more diverse games collection then the ps3 and when there are multiplatform releases I always get the 360 version. The reasons being, as lame as some of you may think points (If im gonna play it, I mine as well get some points while Im at it), typically better graphics or smoother framerates in my head to head comparisons, and most importantly LIVE. I hate psn in its current form. Mainly due to the lack of headsets and that most of my friends are on LIVE which I suppose isn't SONY's fault but it is a big draw to LIVE over PSN. I think that Playstation has a lot of work ahead of it for it to take more of my time then my 360 does and that is how I measure how good a system is. IM I PLAYING IT.

If games and movies don't develop some mutual respect, all we can expect are films that are really bad action games and games that are really bad films, says Steven Poole.
