So while we were out shopping in Doncaster this afternoon, I bought a 60Gig PS3, with Resistance: Fall Of Man, and Heavenly Sword bundled with it.The price of this pack has dropped from £425 to £350, and as the 60gig machine is backwardly compatible with the PS2, while the new £300 40gig machine (with no game) isn't... it seemed far and away the better pack to buy. Considering the 60gig backwardly compatible machine will be discontinued when stocks run out, it's something of a no-brainer to get this model.
So, what's it like then?
Well.... I started out playing Resistance: Fall Of Man, as 1st Person shootemups are something I'm familiar with, and first impressions were that given the display limitations of the tv I have it plgged into, it's on a par with good PC games of that genre.
Pretty good then.
Next I downloaded the free Gran Turismo HD demo thingie from the Sony site, and had a play on that. Visually breathtaking, it makes Test Drive Unlimited on my PC look a bit silly. It's not much of a game though... but then it's only supposed to be a taster.
So, Heavenly Sword then.
I left this one till last, coz to be honest, I figured it wasn't the kind of game I'd like... the duffer in the software bundle, if you like.
Duh!!!
How wrong could I be?
Up till now, the games have been impressive, but this... this is something else entirely.
This is the game to buy a PS3 for.
This is the game to show to you friends when they ask "So how much better than an X-Box360 is it then?"
This is the game to play when you just want to go "wow".... and keep going "wow", and not be able to turn the machine off, untill it's stupid o'clock in the morning, and you suddenly remember you have to be up for work.
Think you know what next gen gaming looks like?
If you haven't seen Heavenly Sword, you have no idea.
And remember... this is still the first generation of PS3 games. Remember how much better PS1 and PS2 games got over time.
5 years from now is really going to be something.

Sorry to barge in. I found this today, and wondered if you were affected:

Blimey... that's quite scary.
Fortunatly, I haven't used BT as an ISP for a a couple of years now.
I can't say my current ISP is too special in the speed or reliability stakes, but they're definitely secure.
Thanks for the heads-up though.
