See how you go. I've got a MISB one to sell for $15 but the postage... you'd probably be able to get it cheaper at JB. I think it's gone platinum now.

I love the Tomb Raider games, but the new one is down my list of games to play. I finally got around to playing Uncharted over the last weekend (on Friday and finished on Sunday).

It was similar in theme to the Tomb Raider games which is one of the reasons I wanted to play it, but I got sick of the very repetitious gun fights. Take cover, shoot, move to the next bit of cover, shoot and repeat. I enjoyed the game overall but it's not something I want to play again so I will trade it in.

Next weekend, a long weekend here in Vic, I'm playing Uncharted 2 which as I recall reading is the best of the series. I purchased it three years ago, but it's been sitting in the "to play" pile since then which is far too long.

Cheers PB, I'll keep that in mind.

uncharted two is much better than one IMO. I played two and really enjoyed it. Finished it and then went for a crack at one and just couldn't do it. I think the major put-off for me was the motion control sections, balancing on logs, grenade trajectory... GAH! I am still playing three, but am having trouble with stealthily getting through one bit and want to do it that way, so... Until I find a way, it's stuck in the desert for me.

Lol. Only four bucks? ? That's a bit sad.

Storage space on ps3 can be easily upgraded with a sata drrive for a laptop. I put a 500gig one in mine.

Good games? I am looking forward to deadpool and apparently the next batman game is looking good

Decided to sell my DKC Returns 3D after near-3ds-shattering experience on the last world last night.
Finished the bastard in the end but damned if i'm ever going to play through it again!
It can be in someone else's nightmares for a reasonable price here

Started inFamous 2 Yesterday and I have to say I am so far rather impressed. It's a direct continuation of inFamous and manages to give you a good recap of #1 in the introduction as well as a pretty good reason for why Cole has lost most of his powers.

They have really refined the movement controls and running around the city is much easier. They have also added a few thing to help you get to the top of buildings quicker, which I think was my biggest issue with the first one. They have also changed the way his powers work and the upgrade system as well. Graphics are great and the voice work is nice as well. For some reason they have a different VA for 2 from 1, and I prefer 1 personally. But 2's does a good job.

So if you get a chance, I say play it. If you play 2 before 1, I would probably avoid 1 as the changes to movement controls and powers are superior in 2 and it'll feel a bit naff going from the good to the not-as-good. Plus you get the recap of the game in the intro (except for one major surprise in regards to the bad-guy from 1, which I was surprised.).

And it's only 20 bucks.

Could not agree with you more Tets. Loved inFamous 2, both stories are excellent, it is better to play through both completely as good or evil rather than switch during the game. One I do love to go back to every now and again, wish there were more post story completed missions (has the timejump function like infamous 1).

Played some Hitman Absolution this weekend. Hate it. Its very pretty and has some interesting mechanics and ways to take out your enemies, but when it is easier, quicker and more fun to just rampage through and wipe out everyone, good bad or otherwise, it is not really a Hitman game. I found the sit and wait approach a waste of time as often the patterns you observe for 5 minutes disappear when a civilian stumbles on in.

And I think Sony just beat Microsoft.

XboxOne
Has to be online at least once per day to play solo-games
Makes it a pain to share games
Even harder to play second hand games
AU$600

PS4
Doesn't have to be one.
No hoops to share games
No hoops to play second hand games
AU$550

Nuff said

Pretty happy that the ps4 allows the use of pre-own games. Probably will be getting one now.

(has the timejump function like infamous 1).

Time jump function?
Whats that? And more importantly, how do I use it?

I was rather pleased to see the price, I was expecting a 700 odd mark, but 550 is much more agreeable. Wait a year and it'll be down to 400 odd or so. I just hope it's not region coded, I have gotten used to my Japanese gaming...
