Playstation Love

Posted May 9th, 2007 by jhuny

This is the other thing that has been taking up my spare time. It's fucking awesome. I got the PS3 a few weeks ago now and, besides a few old PS2 games that required a PS3 system upgrade to be playable, I haven't really had a true PS3 game until the weekend when I finally decided to fork out the dosh (and, even with the 15% discount, is still a heck of alot of bread). It looked awesome in the shop and, fuck, it looks awesome at home. 'cept that I don't have a high def TV. Which is now high on the wish list!

It's gritty and violent. Racing around improbable circuits, the immediate highlight of the experience is actually stacking it, which happens quite often to begin with. Engines explode, wheels fly off in all directions, and your driver violently slams into the rock face or plunges down the mountain to his or her doom, all in dramatic slow motion. It's wrong but it's oh so cool!

Anyway, I'm still pretty crap at it, JPB is doing better than me but I managed to win a race around the top of a devilish mesa before JPB. I guess by the time I get back from Melbourne he'll be awesome at it.
