I would argue any hardcore console gamer knows exactly what the PS3 is all about and are simply waiting for games they want to play. On the other hand their are many casual gamers and non tradtional consumers that the PS3 might appeal to because of other things it can due besides playing games and thus why Sony is marketing it that way. See the PSOne and PS2 where basically game systems. Sure the PS2 could play DVD's but it was never considered comperable to a high end DVD player unlike th...

Meus Interpretation - And you'd believe my review over the reviews of the majority of professional sources?

VirtualGamer - Hmm. Where in anything that I have written thus far would indicate that I am suggesting that anything you wrote in giving us a review of your game play experience or this guys experience with LAIR should hold more wieght then reviews from professional sources? That does not mean that me and others would still not be interested in what you or this guy had t...

Do you have a retail copy of Fatal Inertia that you have been playing before anyone else in the general public then yea sure I would love to hear your impressions of the game especially if you can take pictures to validate that you really do have a copy.

Its interesting to me that all the people against this being published as news are people who are known to be 360 owners who hate on the PS3 daily. This is a PS3 article for PS3 owners or people with a genuine interested in getting a PS3. Is it a professional magazine or gaming site review? No. What it is a guy lucky enough to get his hand on a copy before retail release and him sharing his thoughts about the game.

As a PS3 owner I appreciate his efforts, especially the pict...

Ok to set the record straight.

There is Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures which is a MMORPG and is being created by Funcom.

"1.3 What platforms will the game be released on, and when will it come out?

Age of Conan will first be released for the Windows PC, and the launch date is set to March 2008."

Again I could careless about the score. Did you even read what I said? I have a issue with the game being so short. So unless the game is amazingly fun, so you would want to play it over and over again, it really is not worth $60 just to play for 6 hrs.

Another thing to consider is that even if the game is amazingly fun and people enjoy playing it over and over, should one still not expect a longer gameplay experience for $60 or am I just being to demanding? Remember many ...

As a PS3 owner I have been looking forward to games like HS. The demo though short is alot of fun and I have played it at least 20 times since I downloaded it from the PSN.

While it appears some reviews don't like certain aspects of game play such as the range attack I can appreciate that. Since none of us have actually had a chance to play the entire game like the reviewers have, I find it odd that some feel its not a valid point. Its aspects like this that I can say well f...

Lets see PC gaming regardless of if the title comes with multiple CD's or DVD all get installed on the HDD and the game is run from the hard drive. The only reason most PC games require disk one to be in the drive is to help with piracy. The disk is used to confirm if the game should run on the hard drive and if the disk is not there you can't play the game.

This has been the case for along time and since all PC games all run from the hard drive should not even be brought int...

You guys kill me.

I can agree that some might not have any interest in using their gaming system as a HD movie player. However I disagree when you claim most are like you. How do you know this? Consumers do have a choice if you want a gaming system and only a gaming system you can buy a Xbox 360 or a Wii. If you want a gaming system as well as a HD movie player you can buy a PS3 or a 360 and add on a HD -DVD player.

I am sure that you would then agrue that wh...

You do know the PS3 supports keyboard and mouse right?

Its also not a competition between PC and PS3 since the developers gains from having the game on both platforms rather then just one.

This is Conan which is by THQ for the PS3 and 360 and is an action game.

There is also Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures which is PC (Funcom), 360 (Eidos) and is a MMORPG.

I believe the rumour is that Sony will be announcing a mew Wii like controller for the PS2.

6153d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

However that I am sorry to say is not gameplay. The game should be amazing all the same and one I am really looking forward to. Its coming to PC and 360 but not to the PS3, which I was a bit disappointed since the PS3 supports mouse and keyboard. If this game gets good reviews I might just get a 360 to play it since thats far cheaper then getting a new PC just to play it.

I found the interview amazingly refreshing. Been so much hating towards the PS3 its nice to see someone give Sony the props they deserve. What Sony needs out of this E3 is the same level of excitement it had after E3 2005. This time around though instead of CGI it will be actual hands on game play.

This is actually for Xbox 360 and PC not PS3 so not sure why its listed as PS3 PC..which is really unfortunate for us PS3 fans. This game is amazing and one I am really looking forward to as it truly is redefining MMO's of this genre.

I was actually hoping to see some Xbox 360 fans who have been haunting this site talking crap about the PS3 for the last year eat some well deserved crow.
