Does your console have a Sony badge on the front and is your online service free and therefore the equivalent of two plastic cups with a string between them?

I know you like to joke and so on, but something doesn't add up with some games. The best 'quality' experience I've ever had with an online game was Killzone 2 (never played 3), the online was flawless, there was no lag, no connection issues, no host disconnecting and I could pick whatever lobby I wanted to join. Now, I've played a few games on Live, I've played a few games on the PS3, but none have been that flawless before. If the PS3 is capable of that, why can't it be done with all of the games? Is it Sony's problem or is it the developer's problem?

Microsoft take care of the online servers for their titles, Sony leave it up to the 3rd party devs to sort it out for themselves. Some make more of an effort than others, which would explain why Killzone worked so well.

The difference in quality does not justify the live pricetag imo.

Really want to get SSX but 40 quids alot of pennies. Anyone know if its worth getting yet?!

Very good from what I've played so far, the online side of things is really well done.

3 years in development apprently...

Yeah, I agree there. One of my mates bought an older version and was fun to play on while having a few beers on a Saturday, but when I borrowed it off him to play through the week after work I soon got bored.

You love putting the bait out



In all fairness I have played about 500 games on UT now online, I will let them off for the odd bug.

Played my way through Journey today. Stunning game, well worth a tenner. Check it out.

I watched the preview on the Store but I didn't "get it". Is it suppose to be similar to Flower?

On another note Morrisons were selling Dead Island for £20 so thought I'd get it for that price, not had a go yet though!

Yep, pretty much. A very artistic, beautiful looking game where you're not really given any indication as to what is going on. You're just planted in the middle of a desert with a huge mountain in the distance. You set off towards it and just enjoy the experience.

Few releases today: Mass Effect, Street Fighter X Tekken and Twisted Metal have all come out today/this week. Just got Twisted metal from (Tesco £25 with discount and a coupon), can't wait to get stuck into it. Anyone bothering with this other titles?

Hoping my copy of Mass Effect 3 arrives today (PC).

Might give it a go if a demo comes out. I've had the demo for Flower on my console for a couple of years now. Played it a few times and quite enjoyed it but never really fancied getting the whole game. Think its the motion sensor thing that puts me off not really a fan of that sort of stuff. Its the reason I've never really fancied getting Move or a Wii!

Anyone got a link to a decent, cheap(ish) desktop computer, that can handle the odd game of Football Manager, but is fairly fast? Thanks.

Just got Mass Effect 3. I'll see you all in June.

Just started this. I see there is a lot of negative press about the ending - lots of people giving it 1 star reviews on Amazon saying the ending completely ruins what is otherwise a great game. There's even a Facebook group demanding a new ending as DLC. Don't think I'll be finding out for some time!

Given that the creators worked so hard to create such a vivid galaxy full of such varied and interesting life forms, all with their own brilliantly thought up back stories, historical moments and potential futures, the ending is a massive slap in the face to all those players who have put around 100 hours of their time into the Mass Effect trilogy. There are plot holes, inconsistencies and a complete lack of closure. It really is that bad.

What's worse is that those cynical gamers (myself included) now fully expect EA/Bioware to cash in on all this controversy by releasing some additional content - at a tidy price, of course - that will clear things up for us a bit more than the original ending does. Hell, maybe they even planned this all along, what a terrible thought.

Any one else got SSX yet?

Can be a bit infuriating at times but is worth putting in the effort.

A friend of mine has had it since last Friday and has already completed it, playing 25 hours. When I told him that I racked up 85 hours playing the first game, he looked at me in shock. His excuse was that he just fires through the games. He has missed all the side missions, scanning etc.

I told him that you don't "fire through" Mass Effect, it's just not on.

Yeah I've got it, brilliant game. You on PS3? Feel free to add me if so, PSN is the same as my username on here.

Bugger. I thought the ending for 2 was laughable. If this is worse then I may not even bother.

The ending on ME2 isn't though to be fair. The DLC is the "proper ending"

Bit cheeky if you ask me.

Bought and completed "Journey" today on the PS3, sheer brilliance.
