A funny thing happened when I went to buy a PS3 today...

The first boss is a snap once you figure out one thing. Same goes for any others. Then they fall pretty quickly. They do have a lot of health though, so it can get tiring sometimes.

PS2, best system ever.

A worthy successor to the SNES for that title. And a good reason why the newer stuff just doesn't seem that great to many people yet.

Fuck Halo 3.  Dead Rising is the 360's killer app dammit. 

I wanted to love Dead Rising, I wanted to love it sooo bad, but the save system really frustrated me. At the risk of a Zar rant, I'm gonna say that Gears of War is the 360 killer app imo.

I still pick up and play Ninja Gaiden on my 360. I have much  for that game.

Nahh, no rant.  GoW is a pretty game.  I found it dull and quit at the part where the big monster chases you around a broken down monastery thing, but I can see why people would like it.

Some interesting replies here. As I told Strazos in a PM I'm currently thinking about waiting to see how Folklore turns out. That game might be enough to cause me to break down and get the system. Get it and maybe get a used copy of Resistance. Then just hunker down and wait for the good games next year.

Though honestly, if Atlus would make games like Persona 4 on the 360, I'd pass on the PS3 altogether I suspect.

If I did not already have a PS3, Ratchet & Clank would be the system seller for me.

[ahoythematey]

Yeah, Ratchet and Clank looks fantastic.  If I didn't have a PS3 already, that and Uncharted would definitely do it for me.

At least with Ratchet & Clank, they have a formula that I know I'm going to enjoy.  At the least,  I haven't heard anything about major gameplay overhauls or use of the sixaxis motion control.  That would probably lead to me selling my PS3 immediately and boycotting Sony forever and ever.

Well, a bundle with 360 + Forza 2 + Marvel Ult. Alliance is forthcoming at current prices, so you may want to hold off until that drops.

Eh, already have MUA on the pc (with wireless gamepad support).

I was kinda joking about the wedding present thing, she shot that down quick. I told her I was dumping her for the other librarian, but I don't think she bought it. And this xmas I hope to buy myself one of these.

I heard that the sixaxis will be used for a glider-type function (like from Going Commando, IIRC), which is fine by me.  As far as I can tell, the formula is intact, which means it will massage my balls like a korean immigrant.
