Review for Modern Combat: Domination is now up, I had a great time writing this one, let me know what you guys think about it in the comments please.

@Swerd.... if your not too deep in to Demon Souls so far, I recommend starting off as Royalty on the first go about it. The ability to use magic for range makes things much easier, then on the second go, play as a more physical character once you have the hang of things. The game really gets fun after a while, it's the realism that makes it so captivating.

Yeah...now that I'm out of my "I love Hard games" kick, Demon's Souls doesn't seem that interesting to me anymore.

I just today realized that you can create little icon previews of the videos on your PS3 Now all of my video's have cute little previews before you watch them :3

I'm all for hard games but Demon's Souls is designed by a complete idiot. The game is nothing more than the world's most average, bereft dungeon crawl, and the difficulty stems from unweildy, wobbly controls, horrible tight-hallway camera angles, a god-awful 50% successful lock-on system and overall glitchiness and a system that can turn a small mistake into a loss of a ton of game content.

I slid (I was standing still and my character slid somehow) off the edge of a high area onto the top of a doorway. After searching for any way off of it, I realized all I could do was to fall to my death. Of course I couldn't recollect my money since it was caught on top of a doorway...getting it meant putting myself into the death-is-the-only-way-out situation. This isn't difficulty. This is just plain stupid. Granted--if people like redoing what they've already easily done countless times before due to randomly getting ambushed by an enemy way out of their level range, this is the game for you. If you like suffering through the same content with the same awful battle system multiple times in a row for 40 hours so you can someday tell random strangers how you beat a really hard game in some kind of pitiful quest for recognition, this is the game for you. I personally don't consider that difficulty...I consider it inexcusably poor design.

But yeah, to reiterate--this could be the single worst game I've played on the PS3, and at the moment is one of my least favorite games of all time. It's definitely my least favorite generally-well-reviewed game ever made, without question. Even when you're doing well it's just plain boring.

@Swerd_Murd: I like you so much right now.

You should've read it before the edit...

Actually you shouldn't have. No one should've. Especially not mods

Yup, the fun part is figuring out what clip you want to see over and over again! I'm only half-finished with the videos I've downloaded so far, mostly laziness is the main reason.

gahh! littlebigplanet2 or no! cant tell either way cause i hardly shell out $60 for a game but this one looks so good but i have the first..bah

I'm with you smithers...barring some frail old lady I randomly run into today, rob, and steal over 60 dollars from, I just can't afford it right now (and the first did almost nothing for me)...but it looks phenomenal

LBP2 is great but I think there are too many people online because I can't start any Story levels or play with friends.

This

Btw, you can start Story levels by yourself you know.

LittleBig Planet 2 does look amazing, and I'd buy it if I had a PS3. Which is weird because I didn't like the first one, but of course, it's because the gameplay was too limited. This one has the level of creativity I'm looking for.

Well, now I can. Before it wasn't! D:

Mass Effect 2 is BEAUTIFUL on PS3, I mean Amazing!!!!

@slap - have you seen it on a high-end PC? I must admit....it looks quite lovely on PS3, but given that it's running on a brand new engine, it really doesn't look any different (and in fact is lower res) than when I saw/played it on a good PC...

I only saw the game on a 360 for a bout 20 minutes...it looked quite good, but that was the first time I'd seen it so I can't honestly say I remember it well enough to compare it to the 2 more recent times I've seen it...

Do not take anything I just said to be discrediting the game or its various magicks and splendorisms. It's truly an experience.

@Swerd.... my new laptop is nice, and I just finished Mass Effect on it, but only on Medium/Low settings to run properly. My brother just bought one of the Asus Gaming Laptops on the market, and he might end up getting ME2 on it, and then I can compare the two. Regardless, the game is beautiful. I enjoyed Mass Effect immensely, it was a bit short and ended too quickly, but reuniting with the characters from the first game and the way ME2 opens is literally insane. I'm really enjoying this game a lot, though I'm also a space opera junkie, so it's kinda a no-brainer.

I got Borderlands back finally, as I know many here have been playing it again recently. I'll be buying Claptrap DLC very soon too.

Anybody else excited for Tuesday, some little game called.... Dead Space 2?

I'm excited for Tuesday as I always am, as it puts us one step closer to Vagrant Story.

@roopa i only played ME1 at a friends house a couple of times but i got and played ME2 on the computer a while ago and i tried to keep a general tab on the characters/races/planets but i didnt want to get bogged down on it so i didnt worry about it too much

sorry for the double post but.....IM SO EXCITED FOR THE KILLZONE 3 OPEN BETA STARTING FEB 3 or whatever it is

@giveitalittleslappyslapslapperoo - my buddy's getting the Deadspace Collector's Edition (or whatever it's called) with the little gun and Extraction. I'm looking forward to playing through that with the Move and real definition (maybe now distant targets will be more than a pixel wide) -- hoping for a bit of a graphical update beyond that as well.

But yeah--I'll be borrowing this game/beating it once he's done with it. Very, very excited, as the first Deadspace and Resident Evil 5 made an absolutely gasmic first couple months of PS3 ownership.
