I been gaming since I was about 8 years old & I've probably spent hundreds if not a grand or two on games that turned out to be complete rubbish, no youtube or internet back then to get any info.
I remember having to buy 8 quid gaming magazines every month just to see a screen shot with probably two paragraphs about a game you'd be interested in (lol, they used to put some random cheats at the back of their mags).
Anyway my point is I no longer ...
Hardly surprising that PS3 sells great in Europe, all Sony's products do well over here. All my family & friends buy alot of their products especially their TVs.
The Japanese have a great reputation for building quality products from TVs to Cars or anything else electronics wise. All my friends have PS3's bar two of them but their not interested in gaming anyway.
This is good news for me, usually us Europeans get an extra 3 day wait for games (sometimes months or years are added) compared to our American brothers. Usually I don't mind the extra 3 day wait, gives me time to check a playthrough on youtube to see if a game is worth getting.
Although in the case of GT5 it would've been a torture for me watching others play this masterpiece of a game & knowing I had to wait an extra 3 days or more to get it, lol.

I've been a fan of the original Fist of the North Star movie since the 80's, never got to see the old or new TV series (or Ova's). This game looks based on the new series so I'll enjoy catching up while making people's heads explode.
About time Tecmo Koei gave an E.U. release date, I thought it was going to be a long wait, like ...
I love they way LOLconsoles states everytime, every comment how superior the PC is & yet he's usually in the top ten comments on every PS3 article,lol. He justs looks like a pathetic little fanboy or a very jealous PC only owner who can't get enough PS3 news. Just buy a god-damn PS3 already & quit trolling, ha,ha.
On topic- Yeah I'm interested in 3D, I'd like to get a 3D TV. At the moment their just abit too expensive. I'll probably wait 2-3 years...
I have to say at first I wasn't into the idea of using motion controls at all, I've been using control pads /joysticks for over 20 years now. I think I'm just a little reluctant to give up the DS3.
I'm kinda coming around to the idea of it though, mainly from watching videos & hearing people's experiences with it. Shame theres no E3 or ANY gaming events held in my country so I could've gave it a try, lamestop don't even let you try a new game o...
Looks interesting, I'm liking the destruction to the buildings in the trailer, it also looks like there could be helicopter missions?
The king is alive. I want this game more than want a new woman (ha,ha, maybe thats sad but it's true).
Was the MW 2 demo even released on any European PSN store? I didn't see any demo for it & the store updated a few hours ago (I'm from Ireland). Perhaps it was just for the US store?
SCEE sometimes don't release certain demo's that US store gets or there delayed for weeks/months/years (e.g. Tekken 2 for PS1 only came out today on UK PSN), although this one time SCEE are doing us Europeans a favour by not releasing this crap overrated shooter demo.
You lucky bastard (sorry). I don't know which edition to get myself, unfortunately I can't get both. Either way I can't wait to get my hands on this game.
Judging by that video, In my opinion GOW & even X-men Origins look more realistic & gorey than this.
Looks a little too cartoony in style & the QTE sequences don't look right, that background colour looks weird when he rips the guys head off, its like some bad LSD effect. I hope they add in alot of combos & weapons, maybe with a few more months to polish & tweak, it'll look better (I hope).
I might just pick it up for the old Slatt...
Looking forward to these titles (GT5 the most)
1. GT5
2. Fist of the North Star - Kens revenge
3. Star Wars TFU II
4. Batman AA 2
5. Metal Gear Rising
Games I'm also keeping an eye on : MvsC 3, Killzone 3, Infamous 2, Splatterhouse, Twisted Metal, Rage, Vanquish, Crysis 2, The Last Guardian & Starhawk(?),
Even the casuals won't be interested in these wii knock offs http://twitpic.com/1wtllv at $60 a pop each. That cirque du soliel show MS put on, just looked awkward & embarrassing. Kinect will fly off the shelfs alright & into the nearest land-fill dump.
I'm going to become a hermit for a few months, when this game releases. Lucky it releases in Nov, that way I can blame the cold weather for staying in. Can't wait to get a Bugatti Veyron around the Nurburgring.
This video shows the Nurburgring. It's also a comparison of GT4 vs real-life:

Conflict: Denied Ops should be on the list (pity, the old Conflicts were good). The older Conflicts were all 3rd person shooters & for some reason they made this game into a generic FPS (like they were trying to make a Cod clone).
I can't even remember the storyline, that's how bad it is, the campaign was boring & short. The game didn't feel like a Conflict game at all. My friend who bought it, ended up bringing it back to the shop & swapped it for s...
While that maybe the case, the Xbox fanboys make up for it with their superior delusions & multiple accounts. Kinect anyone, revolutionising gaming as we now it /s. Multiplatform games looking better than PS3 exclusives /s.
So I guess it balances out.
Call of Duty isn't worth wasting a controller on (I wouldn't even waste one bar of a fully charged DS controller on it never mind breaking it).
When MW2 came out I didn't bother buying it, I played a friends copy. I spent about 2 hours on the campaign & about 2 or 3 hours on the multiplayer, which was enough to put me asleep. After playing that rubbish I decided I'd trade in both Cod 4-5 & move onto better games.
I did enjoy Cod 4 &a...
I just watched this documentary called The History of Gaming on quicksilverscreen (here's the link http://quicksilverscreen.co... ) I found it interesting, some of you might too.
Gabe can dislocate his jaw like a snake, to fit in more pies, slow metabolism fast pie arm.
Sony should of played this http://www.youtube.com/watc... (@ 0.30secs) at E3 when Gabe walked up on stage (jk).
Hopefully with this firmware that'll be the end of this exploit. Maybe now we can get back to gaming news (more GT5 news please, anything), rather than seeing the front page covered with jailbreak article's everyday.
For anyone who contemplates(d) using this exploit, F--k you & go buy some games you cheap bastards!!!
