GTA 4 on the PS3 should feel right at home for you: Sony's systems are the only ones who had franchise thus far (and would've been the only ones with it this time if they didn't attempt to wrap 30-years-beyond technology in a box, call it "PS3", and sell it for the price of a couple of small Thai children).<BR/><BR/>There are only two reasons I can think of for purchasing a PS3: "Metal Gear Solid 4" and the newly announced "God of War 3". I hope you enjoy GTA 4, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-56953906311043711092008-05-01T07:27:00.000-04:002008-05-01T07:27:00.000-04:00to this day i still pay mega drive (Australia's ge...to this day i still pay mega drive (Australia's genesis) i get bored with it pretty quick but i let it know it was and is lovedDaevedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683984115962200777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-5543384921165125042008-04-30T20:05:00.000-04:002008-04-30T20:05:00.000-04:00BLASPHEMY!

That's a sin, it must be!<BR/><BR/>In an effort to rekindle that love for replaying games and conquering them on higher difficulties that I used cultivate back when I was in high school, I picked up DMC4 to play through on the harder difficulties a few weeks ago. And, I was extremely surprised by what I had rediscovered.<BR/><BR/>Playing through the game on Son of Sparda (and then getting about half way through on Dante Must Die) provided me with a greater appreciation of the game and in particular, the balance of it's battle mechanic. Without regurgitating what I've already written, I'll just link you to <A HREF="http://graffitigamer.com/?p=116" REL="nofollow">a blog about it</A>.<BR/><BR/>Given, if you've been through DMC4 once, with it's reuse of environments and bosses, you've technically been through it twice in a sitting, hahaha.Daniel Purvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15678228002879207522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-55364763066710272762008-04-30T15:47:00.000-04:002008-04-30T15:47:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-24315076151345311852008-04-30T11:45:00.000-04:002008-04-30T11:45:00.000-04:00I wonder about that.

The XBox 360 firmware and game updates don't take very long at all. Often it will only be a matter of 30 seconds or so, possibly followed by a reboot. Also, you never have those mandatory memory downloads so that the game can stream off your hardrive.<BR/><BR/>Another thing to consider about those mandatory downloads is that we haven't had a LOT of games that have them yet...but what about when we get more? How quickly will those hard drives fill up to the point where you'll need to delete installs? Then what if you want to play those games again? You'll have to go through the entire install process all over again...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
