not knowing her preferences i went with the more casual game. Oblivion is a great fantasy rpg, but it's definitely geared towards the more hardcore rpg fan. DA:O doesn't require as much commitment from the player.

Fallout3 is pretty awesome until about the time you meet the President and leave the Enclave. then the rails get tighter and you're basically just toeing a line until you choose to be a martyr or a murderer. the eventual DNC addresses some of the heavy handedness of the original ending but that wasn't an option when i played so i was left with a bad taste in my mouth when i finished it.

That's actually kind of strange though isn't it? Is there a reason for it not being on PS3?

All consoles have their own exclusive titles to entice people to purchase them. Almost all of them are series', but some are just the odd title here and there. Exclusive titles are slowly becoming a thing of the past (except for Nintendo which pretty much makes all their income off their exclusive series'), but you'll find the odd one here and there.

Anyways Kayleigh I'm not super familiar with the PS3 titles, but definitely give Little Big Planet a go, puzzle platforming adventure with Stephen Fry doing the voice of the narrator.

That game is something else. I'd say it was only for group play though, it gets boring when you don't have another person to share the fun with. I love it to absolute pieces though.

Flower is my favorite downloadable game. And obviously Zuma is a very addictive puzzle game.

I love Flower and Flow. They're both super relaxing and perfect for those days where you want your Ps3 to entertain you with as little effort form yourself as possible.

So how about the new Xbox design that's apparently trying to look like a Wii? Or has this already been discussed?

well... considering how easy it is to find out the 5 Ws about anything Microsoft has 'borrowed' from in the past and most people are at a loss at presenting any original innovation they've brought to the table... yeah....

considering what they did with the xbox live avatars that didn't at all resemble Nintendo's Miis it's hardly a surprise.

odd that they'd make the machine slimmer though, considering the red rings of death were caused by heat issues due to the internal design of the original device that didn't have enough proper space for its components.

I haven't seen a picture yet but I kind of wish they stuck with this one.

mr dave · 12-16-2009, 01:34 AM

too similar too gamecube and therefore older looking hehe

but i prefer it too.

as for the slim this is what i got off google.

Why is everybody so fascinated with streamlining consoles now? I'll admit I actually like the way the Ps3 slim looks aside from the finish but that's just a grey dvd player.

I still miss the original xbox design even though it was a huge brick and you couldn't stack anything on top of it because of the logo.
