Uncharted was developed very early in the PS3s lifecycle and with that you get the trait many other early games on the PS3 had; the graphics improve as the game progresses. It looks good at first, but as you get further into the game it becomes obvious that the developers were learning as they went, it just gets so much prettier.

Who uses the one on 360!? Just use it online . I also find you don't get enough new stuff on PS3 PSN Store over time bar more rubbish for LBP and the lack of demos is absolutely criminal. I think given more time you would have realised this, it's why the Xbox360 Marketplace is streets ahead.

I also agree with Streeteh on both accounts .

Agree with Streeteh on both accounts, and agree with Nokkon, PS3 should have the trial versions like the 360, we all know why it doesn't but it's a real shame

Good to know re. Uncharted. I'm not bashing the game at all as I really loved what I played but after having it brought up time and time again to prove 'the power of the PS3 > 360' I thought it looked decidely average with Gears, Banjo Kazooie, Killzone 2, PGR4 etc all blowing it out the water. As I said; great game though!

Heh, maybe I need to play some more SSHD!

It'll grow on you, I suck at it but love the hell out of it!

I do think Geometry wars 'looks' better though, nice style!

Thanks to a burst water mains forcing my school to close early today, I've had chance to bounce between a few games today. I started with a little Sacred 2, which seems so far like a console port of Diablo. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but as I'm only a couple of hours into it I'll reserve judgement for now.

After that I popped Spider-man: Friend or Foe in. This is definitely a game for the achievement whores out there, as everything is easy and straightforward. Shame it's not very good, so I can only really play it in short bursts.

Finally I put Guitar Hero 2 back in. I've set myself the very lofty goal of 5 starring all the Hard difficulty songs. Considering I've not finished the Expert career yet it's not something I think I'll manage, but I'll give it a damn good go!

Finished disk 1 of Lost Odyssey, i'm worried it's not going to be as epic as 4 9gb dvds made me think, only took 10 hours and i didn't exactly skip through it (read all of the dreams etc).

i'm having great fun with Tiger Woods 10 & Wii Motion Plus.

currently using 'all-play' swing to ace everything and play the best golf 'in the world'

i'm 67 under after the third round of a Fed-ex cup comp, the guy in second is at a terrible 57 under, but he's further into this round than myself on the first tee.
