It's going to be nice when Modern Warfare 2 comes out, I'm craving a new good shooter.
I've been playing Far Cry 2 cause my buddy just gave it to me, it's frustrating how promising the game is and how it just doesn't really deliver. It's decent fun though.

fuck i feel the same way, everything about the game graphics wise is "soft", the first time i turned it on i thought it was a joke of somekind, that and the fucking tedious amounts of travel you need to do, if you dont have a car your so fucked

I think there's a way to do travel right, but I don't fully understand how. I didn't mind walking places in Fallout 3, something about being in a giant wasteland made for a good kind of tension. But in Far Cry going anywhere is just a pain. Every vehicle handles like a bathtub and having to worry about guardposts and random fucking jeep assaults is just counterintuitive. It was a simple enough concept, just make a more tactical version of Mercenaries in Africa, but somehow they fucked it up.


Thankfully I rediscovered my copy of Dirt, love that game.

When, I turn on my PS3, it is on at 1080p. When, I'm playing a game, it is at 720p, which is the resolution of my games. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could tell me how to upscale my PS3 games to 1080p.

However, I have read somewhere that it is best to leave it at the current resolution, instead of upscaling it. Is there any truth to that statement? If so, I guess I'll play my games in 720p.

Not all games are 1080p, in fact, very few games actually display full 1080p, playstation exclusives are mostly the only games that can support it, GTA4, Killzone 2, Call of Duty 4 and 5, Metal Gear Solid, Skate 2 is 1080i

If you want to change it go to your settings, then your playstation display settings, from there you can select your output, you need HDMI cables to get full 1080p display, component cables wont get you 1080p even if the game displays it

But like Guile said, a lot of game developers design their games to run smoother and look better at 720p, so if you have the hdmi cables, your system is all hooked up right display wise and it still switches to 720p, better off to just leave it

Wii Punch Out. I got to the final guy (Mr Sandman) tonight. He smoked me in under 45 seconds.  The game is pretty fun but it's also pretty easy.

I have an HDMI cable. I didn't change the settings. I guess I'll let it run at 720p, then. Thanks, Guile and frisco.

well if you have an hdmi cable, dont settle for 720 if you can get 1080, depends on the game your trying to run, what games are you playing, little big planet right? i dont know if its 1080p or not, your post reminded me to check my settings and i fucked around with some things on my display, changing the RGB from limited to full but it just "crushed" my blacks giving my colour a richer look but I didnt like it

go to your "display settings" on your playstation XMB menu (all the icons), then select HDMI as your output and select 1080p as your highest output

your ps3 will automatically run at 720p if thats the max the game runs

Any Blu-ray movies play at 1080p so there isn't anything wrong with my settings, I guess.

I fucked with the settings, anyway, so only 1080p was checked. 480p was automatically checked by default. When I played a game, it would go to 480p. I restored the settings and my games play at 720p.

I have "LittleBigPlanet" and "Guitar Hero III," which are both 720p games. I'll probably get two more games by the end of the month.

I'll probably end up getting my stuff from Amazon, which limits the selection. My checking account is rather low and I don't think it's wise to spend $100 on two games.

Skate is available for $20 through Amazon.

It's kind of hard to recommend a game to me unless you know what I really like. I'm not into violent games anymore, which makes it hard for anyone to recommend me a game.

For anyone who has a PS3:
Go to Best Buy. I'm not sure if this may be a regional thing but there's a little "Buy 2, Get 1 Free," sale going on.  The games on the rack are either $20 or $40.

Also, Amazon has some good deals on games, so you might want to check it out. You get free shipping if your cart is $25+. If you're under that, you can pick up another game, some headphones, movies, or whatever else you can find.

Sorry. I guess it's a regional thing, then. But, it was also for Wii and 360 games.
If you were talking about GHIII, it is $30

But, would you recommend Tony Hawk's Project 8 or Tony Hawk Proving Ground?

I am also considering Guitar Hero: Aerosmith if those Tony Hawk games suck.

neither, dont waste your money on either of those games, they are so terrible, youll be doing two handed alley oop backflip banana flips while button mashing and listening to gorilla radio

get god of war 2, its a ps2 game you can probably get it for 10 bucks, best ps2 game ever made

Thanks, max power and frisco.

Here's the problem with getting PS2 games, though:
I have the newest version of the 80 GB model. It has two USB ports, instead of four. But, the thing that sucks the most is the fact that it isn't backwards-compatible.

Although PS2 games are great, I rather buy something for my PS3 because I can enjoy it on a bigger TV. I'll probably end up getting God of War (I & II) because God of War III looks sick as fuck.

I just played T.H.U.G. and I honestly don't give a fuck about what trick I'm popping. I played the Skate 2 demo and was amazed. As soon as I have enough money, I'm buying that.

Well, I just sold my WoW account for 250 dollars. I am now 250 dollars closer to filling a swimming pool with money but find myself alone on a sunday night watching biggest loser and eating chocolate and it kind of sucks. I need a PC game to fill the time before Diablo 3 comes out, any suggestions?

PS3: Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock - I started over and I'm playing on easy. I suck at the game. I'm tried to get perfects on all the songs but couldn't. I'm settling for five stars, though. I'm on the second set of songs.

PS2: T.H.U.G. - I played a demo of Skate 2 and I don't know why I'm even playing this. I'm just pressing buttons to pull off a combo worth a lot of points. I don't care about what trick I'm popping. It's just shit.

GBA: Mega Man & Bass - I didn't get a manual with it so I had to figure out the controls. I figured them out but I can't beat any of the bosses. I'm pretty sure that there's more that I don't know. I'm tempted to look up a guide but that would take out the fun.

apparently once you finish the game, you get to design your own level.
and maybe even share it.

Looks sick.
