But L4D2 for PS3 hasn't really been made official.

...and Valve has repeatedly spoken of the pain of developing for the PS3. At the least I'd expect a delay, with L4D2 being developed so fast on 360 and PC.

What?

Valve has been mentioning this for years. Source is not happy on the PS3. Not much is, but Kutaragi stuck the PS3 with Cell, and that's that.

Well EA has been hinting at a L4D2 port like they did for Orange Box on the PS3.

Ahhh, Assassin's Creed. Surprisingly polarizing, that one.

I dunno about Sony and price drops on that. NV has them over a barrel on the GPU in it. Might see one if the others cut also. Since PS3 is finally within reason, they might decide to keep it there for awhile.

Well, seeing as I bet the 160GB would be getting cleared out at Target for $350 anyways when the 250GB launches, I bit the bullet. Prolly get it sometime next week or the week after from Amazon.

Valkyria Chronicles just sitting at home just nagged at me enough. Well, overspent my b-day for myself this year. Guess i'll have to pick up another job over the holidays to make up. Either that or I start selling stuff on ebay. Oh well, i'll have a tiny paycheck waiting when I get back anyways from my last day on the job. Gotta rebuild my account now that i've splurged.

Guess this means Phenom upgrade gets put off awhile. Even more since I also picked up Heavenly Sword and Ninja Storm with it....sigh, I have the buyer's remorse and yet, somewhat glee . Now if Sega suddenly announces SoA for Wii only...i'm going to cry .

Right now I'm motoring through all five of the DLC for Fallout 3 that just came out the last three weeks.

Then I may move on to Assassin's Creed 2 or Borderlands when they come out.

Aye, that's why I'm keeping it though sadly, I don't want to give up Warriors or Crazy Taxi yet

$400 would about be ps3 slim and ps2 slim, but that's more wires and equipment, and I doubt I could get even $300 for my ps3

Not being the biggest RPG fan my PS3 has had little to no use since MGS4

But Uncharted 2 I actually have pre-orded on Amazon

Amazing! The same exact thing happened to me. MGO was the reason I got a PS3, that & HD-DVD lost the format war. But yeah, Uncharted is the other game I love on the PS3. Haven't ordered the sequel yet but i do have the platinum trophy for drakes fortune. So you can imagine how psyched I am about the sequel.

So, as to the game itself, freakin awesome so far.  I got home after an eleven hour shift at about 8pm and just wanted to relax for a two hours and eat dinner, hoping to be asleep by ten.  I pop in the game, grab some grub, and next thing I know it's 1am.  The game looks gorgeous, the controls never leave me confused, the story flows, as does the action, I'm just worried I might finish it too fast, this is definitely one of those rides you don't want to end.  The only problem so far has been a handful of times where the level detail actually left me mildly lost, it ook me a little time to figure out which way I'm supposed to be going, but at the same time it makes sense, if I'm stuck in some bombed out building or area, it's going to take me a little looking around to plan my route and spot what's going to let me proceed.  I haven't touched multiplayer yet and hear very good things about it from others who have tried.

As explained by one of the review sites (I think gametrailers) this is the game for if you wish they'd made a good Indiana Jones movie.

And much like MGS4 I'm blown away by the amount of detail and forethought.  Anytime I do get stuck (I chose to start on Hard) they have exactly what I need to keep me from making it a permanent situation, though the hint system isn't always helpful, half the time it's telling me what I already know.  Though something I noticed, don't know if it's a bug or intentional.  Sully can kill enemies when he shoots them, but it seems on the levels where I'm depending on either female heroin to help, they can unload 10+ bullets into a guy and he doesn't care.  No I don't want the AI doing all the work, but when I'm pinned down and watching  them keep getting shot over and over and not going down, just a bit annoying.

I have to decide if I actually want to buy Arkham Asylum and Assassins Creed 2 or just rent, I'm leaning rent since those I most likely will play once and move on.  Though it will all wait until much later since I barely have time for this game as it is heh.


As to PSN, I'm liking the UI less and less.  When it started it was similar, but much simpler, and less of a feel like a blog covered in advertisements.  There's also less and less things coming out worth downloading.  It's been a flood of non-free themes and wallpapers and add-ons for games.  And most of the demos have just been means of solidifying my plan to not purchase whatever game it's selling.

Well I found out I can plug my PS2/PC Thrustmaster controller and the PS3 will recognize it and use it. Haven't tried in game yet but it might just work.
