Red Dead Redemption

THIS looks pretty damn good. This might well be added to my collection of 1 game on the PS3 – be nice to play something other that COD2. I like the free roam idea.

It does look great! As for other PS3 games I can recommend Batman: Arkham Asylum, Saints Row 2 and Operation Flashpoint:Dragon Rising (shooty shooty bang bang but definitely not COD rambo style).

I'll be getting it, cod2 is doing my head in!

If roaming is your bag, then Fall Out 3 is fantastic! You have to conserve your ammo too!

Can't wait for RDR. Really hoping shopto send my preorder out early as I'm working all weekend…

Great to start with, but IMO becomes way too repetitive too soon. Not sure if the expansion packs are available on PS3 – I had them on the PC but didn't bother with them in the end.

Fallout 3 sooooo boring.

I pre-ordered it last month can't wait.

Operation Flash Point was a monumental failure it had such hope but turned out to be one big pile of poop.

Yes please 🙂

Not sure if the expansion packs are available on PS3 – I had them on the PC but didn't bother with them in the end.

Yes they are. Downloaded a couple of them. Mildly entertaining with the providing of new weapons and some nice little side missions. The Point Lookout one is very atmospheric and very difficult in places. Lots and lots of feral zombie things and mirelurks.

I used to think FO3 was fantastic but I feel that Borderlands gives it a firm bitch slap to the face and walks all over it. Faster gameplay, ridiculously high number of weapons, good replayability and fantastic expansion packs.

RDR doesnt grab me though, then again a better trailer might have given it more appeal.

Yea rdr looks amazing! i pre ordered it from tesco for about £28! Hopefully it will come on friday!

Same here Tommy.

Creg guess you've not looked at many trailers then.

Anyway Gametrailers has reviwed it.

I watched one and was instantly reminded of "Gun". I wasnt overly impressed with the visuals either. I may take another look at some point but at the moment its not top of my "must buy" list.

Drac, did you really think OF was poo? Why?

I played the first one on the PC and it definitely lived up to that imo.

Borederlands Review

Funny but NSFW

Yeah probably seen the wrong trailer, gametrailers has the best ones and in HD to appreciate the visuals.

Drac, did you really think OF was poo? Why?

Gameplay was appalling, dumb AI, the open world environment wasn't it was maps you couldn't freeroam like they made out you could, clumsy vehicle controls and multi-player was just a horrible mess.

It was nothing like the original if you ask me, shared the name but failed on the gameplay.

Borderlands is great but can't compare it to Fallout 3 they're not the same kind of game at all. Borderlands is still very much a FPS.

I bloody loved gun on the ps2! But then I am abit of a western fan! And a gta fan…i have a feeling rdr will suit me then…

I saw the one on Machinima. Wasnt very long, maybe 1:30.

Agreed Borderlands doesnt have the same fine tuning of FO3 but it allows for more than most FPS games. I dont play on the PS3 much but over the last 6 months or so Borderlands has been in my console the most. I can certainly see where FO3 wins over Borderlands though, its a lot more atmospheric and the plot/storyline is more involved. Both games are great in their own way IMHO.

I really should set to and finish the likes of Metal Gear Solid 4 and Little Big Planet as well as actually taking the wrappers off Resistance and Resistance 2 😆

Thanks Tommy. Looks like I missed the boat there. It's gone up to £35 for PS3 and XBOX. Still cheaper that Amazon or Play though.

Yeah sums up Borderlands and FO3 well that.

You'll never finish LBP it's growing all the times and with 2,000,000+ custom maps it's huge. Trailes are out for second one and it's looking amazing.

jon the price is with a voucher code details on that post the voucher code should still work gives 15% off.

OK, thanks Drac. That's worked. Stoopid me for not reading the instructions. 29 quid – bargin. Ordered.

Who else is on PS3 then? Should we form a STW posse? 😉

No worries.

Anyway check out this and if you laugh you'll to hell.

Contains some swear words

I didn't play the multiplayer but did co-op which was great and gets rid of the AI. I had a few glitches which meant I had to restart missions which was pretty annoying!

Having just had a blast of the original on my mate's laptop I can say that the new one is missing something but I think converting over to console from PC is going to restrict a bit. I still love it though 🙂

No worries.

Thats me off to hell then 😆

Yeah Lifer Co-op is ok but the AI is still dumb, it was supposed to be if you were in cover that you can't be seen. Yet the AI see through smoke and trees.

I have it on the PC and it's just terrible, the sad fact is console gaming is spoiling it for PC players, modding is becoming less available and they are sometimes not even using dedicated servers.

Yeah Creg it's funny as.

Anyway check out this and if you laugh you'll to hell.

That is wrong on so many levels, but I'll be giving that a go as soon as I get the game.

I'm thinking that it might just be GTH (Grand Theft Horses)…

Like that's a bad thing.

Borderlands is great.
Might I also recommend Crackdown. (and 2 is out soon and looks just as good)
And yes, I'll be getting Red Dead Redemption when it comes out.

I'm thinking that it might just be GTH (Grand Theft Horses)…

GTA, on horses, set in the Wild West with some top notch multi-player action. Bring it on.

just me that didn't get into GTA then…

GTA was good, but I think it lacked decent on-line aspect which is what makes the latest generation of consoles so much better. RDR looks like it has this in buckets.

Online GTA IV was superb, mafia mode and cop vs robbers was great fun.
