Still working on Gears of War 2, inbetween MP CoD4 sessions, loving that game all over again!

Having the odd go on PGR4

Rented Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, that lasted around 30mins before I turned it off and put it back in the envelope.

Also my current guilty pleasure is Sega Superstars Tennis, a nice refreshing change from my regular gaming.

Sega Superstars Tennis is quite good fun

I rented it a while back and it certainly made a refreshing change from the usual.

I've just completed the first playthrough mass effect. Long way to go before its 100%ed though!!
Before going back to it, I've got broken steel to go through and maybe point lookout for fallout 3. I shall be interspersing some more fable 2 with this, as I've got my evil character to complete the game with for some variation, and the DLC to go through.

It's region free so you can import it.

It's out in North America. Sony bought timed distribution rights in Europe, which has seen it released on Playstation 3 and not Xbox360, I believe the Xbox360 release is coming in October.

However, what Sony didn't count on was Ghostbusters being released as a Region Free game on Xbox360, so people are just importing it.

I'll be buying it in Florida in August, as well as copies for Leo and John as it should be quite cheap over there by then with a bit of luck

This is a misconception. Sony buying exclusivity rights wasn't anything to do with trying to get an exclusive over MS; if it was they would have bought the rights in the US as well or demanded Atari made the game region locked.

The issue lies with the fact that Atari have ceased nearly all publishing in the EU and handed over to (iirc) Namco Bandai, this switch over which happened very recently has resulted in a change over process that has slowed the release of several games; Ghostbusters being one of them. Sony wanted the game to be released along side the Blu-ray movie globally so bought the publishing rights in the EU for the PS3 (as it wouldn't make sense for them to publish it for competing consoles) and released it. Atari will have the game published (by Namco) later in the year after the changeover delays have passed.

No one has one upped anyone, it's all down to Atari losing shed loads of money in the past year.

Well as Karl seen lastnight. I was playing RE5 until the wee hours trying to get it finished. The final battle with Wesker though was proving extremely frustrating due to the lack of ammo! I had to leave it after 3am and go back to it this morning. Gladly i finished it!

I have to admit, i rubbished this game after the demo due to it's "tank" controls ( although a tank can shoot on the move

) but i'm glad i rented it. Took a bit of getting use to. It's a very good game. Some levels look superb. If i owned it, i would have went through it again no doubt for unlockables. Oh well, one day.

Now to finish Ghostbusters 3 on the PS3
