I have trouble recalling a single player fps I've played that's worse than Resistance, and three of the other five for PS3 haven't even been released yet. Huxley hasn't been released yet either, and it's gonna be god awful in every conceivable way.

Oblivion and Burnout:Paradise are on both systems as well.

Why do I know this garbage when I hate all the consoles argh

Pffffft, Xbox 360 is doing much better than Play Station 3. Look what sony is doing, there down grading the ps3, hell, GTA V even got delayed because they where having trouble with the ps3 version. And can you honestly tell me any good games that are Play Station 3 only?


MGS4 (hopefully)
Ratchet and Clank 5
Uncharted
Little Big Planet (Rag Doll Physics guys)
Silent Hill 5 should be good too.

The 360 has ... Dead Rising, everything else isn't exclusive except Halo 3 and that doesn't really concern me (nor will it continue to be exclusive)

I do count the PC as a platform, by the way.

There are plenty of FPS out there that are worse than Resistance ... Killzone is one of them. The game has plenty of issues, though.



Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

No doubt, but I haven't played them

I would claim to have good taste were it not for owning and enjoying Rebel Assault II, Gunman Chronicles, or SimCopter. I do have Unreal 2 despite never installing it... perhaps I could run through that and knock Resistance off the 'worst fps ever played' list.

EDIT: damnit, I totally forgot I played DX2:IW for way longer than it deserved. That game is worse than Resistance.

Crono, Baron, when I say good games, I mean good, not just average good.

Xbox 360 has Halo 3 and Gears of War, and some might even consider Forza 2 or maybe Mass Effect just fits into that category. Like these games or not, they are very stressful and almost every Xbox 360 owner has at least one of these titles. What exclusive games does Play station 3 have that are really successful and good?

The only game on either of those lists that I've played is Oblivion.

<3 Oblivion.

I haven't played any of those games as the latest console I own is an xbox. I've briefly played a Shadowrun demo on 360, other than that I have no direct experience with any of these consoles. Right now I'd be more inclined to get a 360, mostly because Mass Effect looks so damn awesome. Once GT5 and MGS4 are out though, PS3 is the only logical choice for me. Naughty Dog developing for PS3 is another big reason, they rock.

Then you can knock the number of 360 exclusives down to one: Mass Effect. Everything else is average (or not exclusive).

I don't think the Ratchet, Silent Hill, or MGS series' are average in "good", they generally set the bar in some fashion.

haha, do not resist clicking this link!!! http://twhl.co.za/forums.php?pgt=17&action=viewthread&id=13141&pg=1 that topic it the most amusing thing i have ever read since garfeild! (i was a kid, i don't read those anymore) but, yeah, i would vote ps3. like everyone else said, standing in you're room (or even worse, in you're living room when theres a whole crowd outside staring at you and you don't know about it) dancing or bowling or something else like that is just extremly embarrasing, and, yes, you never know when it might just slip out of your hand (hey, you were swinging the thing around for so long that you are sweating, yet you stupidly think the wii is a great addicting console that you don't want to stop playing) and break your tv AND your remote, and even better, it might even hit someone on the way to the tv. the avertisments were people are dancing or bowling are just stupid. also, i really don't want to start another flame war or anything, but WHY THE HECK DOES STEAM HAVE TO ACCESS THE INTERNET EVERYTIME I TRY TO RUN HALF LIFE 2!? and you wonder why i hate steam... no, i am running in offline mode, no, half life 2 isn't trying to access the internet, steam is... and last but not least, if i deny it, it won't start half life 2. why the heck does valve always say "oh, steam is a GREAT GREAT program! steam keeps your games up to date with the latest patches, fixes and more!"? please allow me to fix this sentence to my liking: oh, steam is a horrible HORRIBLE program! steam keeps you from running half life 2 if you don't let it access the internet! in fact, you HAVE to let it access the internet when you first try it to make sure we get every single detail from your computer like, you're ip address, your full name, your credit card number, your credit card password and more!

oh, we nearly forgot the best part! steam realizes alot of members are saying steam is a pain in the rear end but half life 2 runs perfectly! guess what? steam got mad and lagged half life 2 down to 1 fps, and you can't turn water relections because steam thinks your computer is crappy and can't run anything!

/translation of valves thoughts of steam

If you want to run your games with out using the internet then you have to unplug the ethernet cable from your computer. Then they should start with out problem.

OLED Technology can be used to make lights that produce 45 Lumens per Watt currently and potentially in the near future up to 150 Lumens per Watt.

That would make a 900 Lumen light take 6W ... if your wondering, that's the same amount of light output as a 13W halogen and more than a 60W incandescent.

Not to mention there's the possibility for making cool project-able vistas in your a room!

I think if OLED technology can become more sustaining (it's organic so there's a time frame for the materials) it will take over everything, we'll see it in use everywhere.

There has to be only a hand full of people who fide that funny. Or am i just too young?

The short life span of organic OLED's will only make it more enticing for the manufactures.
Looks like pocket projectors are just around the corner. lol

If you think "organic" means natural or biodegradable, you're wrong. OLEDs are LEDs just like those using standard semiconductor materials, except they are made out of plastics, which if anything have a much longer environmental half-life than inorganic materials. Their primary advantage is that they may become very cheap to manufacture and can be mechanically flexible. their lifetime should eventually be comparable to that of inorganic devices.

There was this post about garfield comics with the thought bubbles removed on some blog. I can't find it anymore. It made Jon look completely insane, and since he isn't supposed to hear his cat think in the Garfield universe that gives the comic whole new (and much darker) side.

haha, that would be funny.

EDIT: that's one of the reasons why i got it, because it's not about a cat talking, that would be stupid. i wasn't going to read it until i realized that it's about a cat that THINKS, not talks.
