The fist casualty of war is always the innocent

Or in this case a PS3 magazine.



This is the last issue. I'd miss it if i knew it existed in the first place but i guess they just couldn't justify making the entire mag if it only sold 5 copies a month.

It's the kind of thing that makes you laugh even though you know you shouldn't, like watching people with mental disabilities dancing.

PS3 goods and bads.

I guess i'm not giving the PS3 a chance here so i'm going to try and name the goods and bads for the console in an objective way as possible. I'll start with the bads first coz it's a little easier to do (oops, sorry, sorry, didn't mean that).

Bads

• It's too pricey.
• Every game that's come out on multiple consoles has been better on the 360 for one reason or another.
• It's too chunky.
• There's no decent games out on it yet.
• The price.
• No one cares about Blu-Ray.
• The cases look rubbish.
• It costs too much.
• It's a laughing stock.
• You can't copy the games coz Blu-Ray disks cost like £15 each or something.
• It's too expensive.

Goods

• Um
• Errr.....
• Hang on, i'll think of one
• Erm
• You already know where the buttons are on the controller.
• Err...
• That's all i can think of.
  

Console Wars II - Revenge of the Sony

Sony have struck again, they've been editing the wikipedia entry for Halo 3 downplaying it a little.

Halo 3, the third game in the best-selling Xbox game franchise 'Halo (video game series)Halo', is a highly anticipated first-person shooter video game under development by Bungie Studios for the Xbox 360 and is expected to "set a new high water mark" for History of video game consoles (seventh generation)|next-generation games, Although it wont look any better than Halo 2.

Christ on a bike, sony really are a bunch of cocks. Everything they touch turns to shit, apart from the walkman, the ps1, the ps2, decent tellies and sanitation, what ever they ever done for us?

BTW, notable failures include: Betamax, Minidisc, ATRAC, SDDS, PSP, Net-MD, Hi-MD and that shitty console that i once saw in a shop back in 2007, name escapes me.

Defender of the PS3 - Yep, there's one out there!

Now this is piss funny, thanks to drunkenmonkey for pointing this out. This is some tossers review of Bioshock. Did i mention that he's a tosser and his review is tossy? I'd suggest signing up to his site just to give him abuse (www.sonydefenseforce.com)

Here's his pisspot review, look for the sly dig at the 360 vs PS3, it's subtle but you might spot it if you're good:

After many months of anticipation I finally got my copy of Bioshock and played through it over the past few days. There are many things to like about Bioshock such as the graphics (not animation), parts of the story and the water effects. That’s about where the good stuff ends.

First let me say how excited I was for the game after playing the demo on the 360. While the animation seemed stiff and you could tell the 360 was being pushed too hard it still looked like it had a lot of potential. So imagine my disappointment when I got the final version only to find none of the animation hitches, shooting glitches and AI was cleaned up. I also wonder how much better the graphics would’ve been had they not been compressed to fit on a DVD. Now I do not fault the developers for this, they only had so much system power to work with so maybe this will all be addressed with the PS3 version when it comes out.

To conclude, let this game cook in the oven just a little bit longer and wait for the superior PS3 version. Cleaned up textures, animations, AI, extra weapons, Home space, standard HDD and Blu-ray will make this flawed game into a perfect gem.
