Rented Evil Dead: Regeneration. Seems a bit easy so far, but very cool if you are a fan of the movies.

I've been playing it for nearly a year now, but I'm still enjoying GTA: San Andreas... I keep avoiding the missions cos I don't want to finish it!
I was exactly the opposite with this. I felt it started off strong, became more and more interesting towards the middle, tailed off a bit in Las Venturas and by the time Sweet got out of jail and insisted we move back to the sh*thole cul-de-sac of Grove Street when by that stage CJ owns an airfield, a chopshop, a stake in a casino and a home in the hills, I was playing it just to finish it. And the ending was a bit of a let down - certainly not enough to warrant all my efforts...
...now of course, I'm extremely hesitant to delete the save file from my memory card after putting all that work in. AAAAAARRRGG!!!
I am waiting with bated breath for this, though. It looks supa-dupa-cool! In that way only EA Big games can be!

VIRTUA FIGHTER AND TEKKEN FOR PSP?
Furious button mashing a-go-go as flourish of classic fighters rumoured to rain onto Sony's handheld next year
12:25 Although the PSP has enjoyed more than its fair share of quality titles since it's launch (insert appropriate number depending on country of residence) months ago, the fat-screened uber-device is still lacking that must-have, unit-shifting killer app.
While frenzied Sony fans sit on their hands to stop their arms flailing wildly in excitement over the imminent release of GTA: Liberty City Stories, our slightly more hardcore sensibilities yearn for some traditional fighter action. Kicking fifty shades of the proverbial plop out of a digitally-enhanced opponent has to be better than using the PSP as a bulky, posh-faced MP3 player, right?
Well, according to Jap mag Game Labo (note lack of "gaming bible" pre-fix, please), Sega and Namco are currently hard at work bringing both the Virtua Fighter and Tekken franchises to Sony's handheld. While our initial investigation into the rumours landed us with nothing more than the usual "no comment", we'd like to point out that that's still not a "no". So, will VF and Tekken grace the PSP in ways wi-fi has never imagined?
It's not certain, but it'd be a big boost to the PSP in a genre it's currently lacking in. Once we find out more info, you'll be the first to know, so keep your eyes peeled.

I got my copy of Devil may cry 3 today, and Jesus is it relentless, every room you go into you have to fight another 100 enemy’s, its fooking awesome.
The game runs at a rather smooth frame rate to.

Man from Nintendo:
"hmm, new controller, what shall we do? I know cut the middle bit out of the N64 controller that everyone liked and wire a TV remote to it? Good idea? Do you want to be fired? Well then, no objections."
I'm a sucker for "The Suffering". If you haven't heard of it, it's a pretty good 3rd Person Shooter horror-survival game that came out last year (I think??). Just read yesterday that a sequel will be out next month! Sweeeet!
Playing Mercenaries again at the moment - ahhh, the simple joy of blowing stuff up!

Been playing Burnout Legends on PSP, great! Also, tried game sharing (one disk multiplayer). Works beautifully, although be aware of nearby microwaves. Takes about 3 minutes to upload everything to the other PSP before playing, but the game itself is not graphically reduced in any way once transfer is complete.
Try it. Its the business.
I don't normally say things like 'its the business', i dont really know why i just did...

Have just seen a new flight-sim type game for the PS2 - Heroes of the Pacific.
Think I'll have me a piece of that after work!

I had a little go on some gameshare Burnout myself a few days ago. It's excellent. Also managed a little WiFi Virtua Tennis session too... awesome stuff.
Just started Ocarina of Time again.
And what do people think of the whole controller thing for the Revolution?

I bought Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate about a month ago. It's awesome, I like getting all the outfits for the girls. Some are terrible. And whenever they wear skirts, they all seem to be made of a really light, floaty material so that when they kick or something, you can see their knickers. What's that about?

First you need to understand the people that make and play these games. Then it all becomes clear.

I really don't think I can hack any more racing for the time being. Between Ridge Racer and Shutokou Battle I'm all raced out.
I'm now converting to the dark side and am considering buying a 360 
Bought Heroes of the Pacific on Friday - fuck me if this isn't the best combat flight-sim I have EVER seen on the PS2!

Yes, that's exactly what you should do. And don't forget to buy Perfect Dark Zero while you're at it.

I picked up the new Hulk game and it was a bit shit so, brought it back today and got Burnout Revenge instead.

I concur with this statement for reasons which I cannot say because I will get into a spot of legal bother.
Xbox is the console to have , just a shame about the lack of Gran Tourismo , and WRC on it.
I just got a borrow of Episode III which sucked, apart from playing as Yoda and flipping all over the place. I also got around to buying Metal Gear Solid 3, I wasn't too keen on the new gameplay but i've warmed to it and now i'm hooked.

I had a very surreal moment the other day when I was in HMV and I saw that Joanna Dark is on the front cover of FHM. Does that strike anyone else as odd? I didn't think the game was that high profile and I certainly didn't think that they were trying to make her into the new Lara Croft.
Anyway, it did freak me out a little bit.

The only thing I and my housemates have been playing over the past few months is Tiger Woods 2004 - customised to fuck, all the characters look exactly like each of us and we have some proper epic matches.
I'm blatantly the best though, no-one else can get a full power boost on their swing.

A Sony Computer Entertainment executive has gone on record to explain why there were no playable PS3 games at this year's Tokyo Game Show - despite Ken Kutaragi's previous promises.
Speaking to Famitsu magazine, Masatsuka Saeki said that Sony could have presented playable demos if wished. However, the decision was taken to use video footage only since TGS marked the first time the PS3 was being shown on Japanese soil.

I meant for the PS3 specifically. They've got nothing they can show, yet they keep coming up with utterly lame excuses like that. I'd be very surprised to see a PS3 available before 2007.
Well, so long as all the kiddies in the Western world patently refuse to ever consider a game console from anywhere other than Japan, Sony's got the market cornered. Microsoft may have a lovely machine to offer, but they're unfortunately on the wrong end of today's ethno-chic trends, at least as far as most console gamers (over here, anyway) seem to be concerned.
Of course, we PC gamers are entirely irrelevant to the market, nowadays, judging by the ever-shrinking shelf space at most software retailers over here... But that's a topic for another day.
