Ben's Week In Review: February 20
So the big news is obvious; it can be found towards the end of our Killzone 3 review. But moving on...
Gotta get up for inFamous 2
For some reason, I just don't think there's enough hype and excitement for inFamous 2. The original remains one of my favorite games of the generation - and boy, I didn't expect that - and based on what I've seen of the follow-up effort, Cole's new adventure will be even better. It's fantastic that we now have a release date; I was starting to think we'd never see it. I noticed that some people around here said they actually wanted this one more than Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception...okay, that's a little bonkers but I can understand the frame of mind. inFamous was one of those games that got into your bloodstream; it was just so entertaining and so addictive, and in a completely different way than Uncharted. In all honesty, I think both inFamous 2 and Drake's new quest will be in the running for Game of the Year. That's hardly an exaggeration.
I think there's something about combining a superhero style with the Grand Theft Auto open-world setting. For some reason, it just works so unbelievably well. And did anyone read up on those Karma details? It just sounds amazing.
Crytek sure is talking a lot
I don't really have anything against Crytek and I really hope Crysis 2 turns out to be an awesome game. I also have no problem with a studio promoting their product; with being confident about the title they've created. However, it just seems as if these guys are talking a little too much; know what I mean? Based on the footage I've seen thus far, I can certainly understand that it required a lot of processing power but it doesn't come close to what I've seen of Uncharted 3. Heck, it doesn't come close to Uncharted 2, as far as I'm concerned. On that note, is it just me, or is there always a distinct lack of lushness and color in games produced by designers that are mostly PC oriented? They all seem to have these bland, washed out hues, and they all seem to be variations of silver, black or brown.
I've thought this for years. I'm not saying the visual presentations on PC are inferior - they certainly weren't in the '90s - but I'm just talking about the color. I've never seen the richness of an Uncharted in the PC realm, especially when it comes to shooters. That's all I'm saying. Or maybe it's just me.
Personal gaming update
Well, it's all about Killzone 3 right now, which is great. I won't talk much more about it; you can just read the review and wait for my commentary, which we'll record on Sunday. That ought to be more than enough, no? And yes, as you all have noticed by now, we have our PSXE YouTube Channel. Right now we just have a little teaser so we had something to go with the text review today, but more is to come. For the record, these will always be commentary; we're not replacing text reviews with video reviews. Most will also be available in 1080p, if you're so inclined.
But that's hardly the big news. We can't talk about that just yet but hopefully, you'll all know soon enough. It's sort of related to this unveiling but that's all we can tell you. For the future, you can probably expect our next video commentary when Dragon Age II arrives, but you never know...

Nyenyway... inFamous was one of the titles that I latched onto as soon as I heard about it. I'm not sure why, but I was amped all along, and when I got it, it was even better than my expectations. Sure, Uncharted 2 is probably the best game that I've yet played, but inFamous was more fun. Sacrilege? Perhaps, but true. I'm sure that Uncharted 3 will blow me away yet again with epic scenes, great humour, greater gameplay and that rare emotional connection that I find with entertainment, but inFamous 2, I'm sure, is going to be my favourite game of the year when all is said and done.
Personal Update:
Ergon is outside my window putting the power line back up, so I hopefully won't have to hear the generator anymore tomorrow :D. Also, a hot shower for the first time in almost three weeks. Bless these people.
In gaming, there's not been a lot happening, just a little bit of VC2 and Dead Space, but nothing noteworthy.
Peace.

I'd suggest you get yourself a UPS so that you have enough time to save your game in the event of a power outage. That should also protect your PS3/TV when the power fluctuates.

The news about the release date for inFamous 2 reminded me that I have to finish the first game soon. It's a shame I know, but that's what happens when you have a ton of games sitting there on your shelf waiting to be played. LOL Anyway, I'm definitely buying Infamous 2 and hope that it would be as successful (if not more) that its predecessor.

If anyone is interested in an inovative battle system (like what Valkyria Chronicles did) go out and buy this. It's really worth it. The graphics are great, the fighting has some really cool flashy movements, the character detail is high, and if you like challenges, even when figthing mobs 10 levels below you can get killed if you are careless. I'm 25 hours in, have my characters in lv 35-42, on Chapter 6.

Crytek does talk too much. I'd be more inclined to listen if they'd proven themselves before. Yea they make a nice looking PC game but from what I gather most of the people I know who played it thought the actual game outside the graphics was just "okay". If you listen to Crytek, you'd get the impression they are God's gift to console gamers even though they haven't a single game to prove they know what they are doing on consoles. From the demo Crysis 2 looks decent(aside from the lack luster art design, and as Ben said color) but no way in hell is it going to stand up to PS3 exclusives.
Just started Dead Space 2 last night. Already on chapter 5. Good game though I don't find myself as nervous as I was when I played the first game. Also, it doesn't really feel like a new game. More like Dead Space 1.5. A friend of mine owed me money so he just bought me a copy of Marvel vs Capcom 3(think I would have rather had the money but oh well)so I'll be diving into that soon enough. Played it for a few minutes, so far it's just okay. Like Tatsunoko vs Capcom 2.0. Which I loved but I was expecting A LOT more considering this is a HD console release where as Tatusnoko vs Capcom is on Wii. Capcom really dumbed their Versus series down to please the twitchy casuals. Another nail in Capcom's coffin. Marvel vs Capcom 1 and 2 still reign supreme.
Woohoo! Only 2 more days until Killzone 3!

The Developer of Buyers Remorse.
EDIT: There also rumblings around the interwebs that hackers found code for additional characters on the disc that Capcom axed at the last minute. Jill, Shuma Gorath(I know Jill and Shuma were apart of the Spec Ed), Frank West, Doctor Octopus etc. Expect to see keys on PSN for $4.99 each to unlock the characters that are already on the disc.

maybe i'll just wait for super marvel vs capcom 3 where all the "DLC" would be on the disc. ohh and when i mean by "on disc" is that the dlc would be free because we all know the characters are already on disc right now, just locked.

I just have to say that I loved the final mission or two! The feelings you have for your characters are intense. Having been that involved in a play session since Heavy Rain.
Will now have to play it again to get with Miranda.
It's definately a two or three play game!

@oxvial I've only played the wally-world demo for MvsC3, and never played any of them before unless it was the arcade version, but from what I played I liked it. So did my gal and that's saying something. May have to get it when the price drops fer we have a game to play together.
Anyways, personal gamming update, I'm playing two worlds 2 right now, and its pretty ligit. Kinda reminds me of oblivion if it were to breed with demons souls. But that could be just me. So far its a pretty good rpg, not too far into it and just tried online last night. I digs it. But ill only be doin online til my gal and I get our place and don't have internet... but that's cool with me. Peace all.

I'm super stoked for KZ3. The demo has been nothing short of a technical marvel. I'm a sucker for such types. Even my DF friends are singing praises to it. So much so they subtly refuted the meager 8/10 their host CVG gave it.
I still remember years ago the killer E3 2005 trailer for KZ. While some thought KZ2 was on par with it, I couldn't fully admit to it. Artistically, GG managed to make a more interesting looking presentational design, but under closer examination it was pretty apparent that texture work, particle effects, hair, and polygonal complexity were a good notch higher in the E3 video.
Amazingly, this KZ3 demo is remarkably much closer to what I saw those many years ago. So much so, I feel Sony has mostly delivered on that promise. Even closer than I would've thought possible. With 4x the texture resolution of KZ2 a person can easily spot the individual fibers of cloth and see much more intricate detail. Maps appear even larger and fuller than before. There's so many improvements across the board. Granted, the grain filter is gone and so is the unique per-pixel motion blur, but in it's place is a host of other great upgrades. I'm impressed.
PGU: I've been spending a lot of time with T6 and my new joystick. It's good stuff. I've also been spending a little time with GT5.

pgu: i finished my entire backlog in the last month, about 7 games. last game was star ocean and i loved it. after ff13, i needed this. i'm kinda pissed that they took out new game+ out of the ps3 version. now i dont have any intention of playing it again, at least for now. enslaved was great but castlevania blew in my opinion. i loved the story in enslaved but nothing about castlevania made me want to keep playing it other than finishing the story. starting play uncharted 2 again with jawknee and ganwars, i dont know why i stopped playing online.
i also started to play sports champions again. i got 3 stars on everything in table tennis except for the last person on gold. i swear that guy is cheating. that guy does crazy spins on the ball, seems to get every ball, and always aimed for the bottom of my paddle and consistently hits it. also those weak serves that for some reason i couldnt hit. it pisses me off but i just cant let it go, i have to beat him now.

PGU: I finished Castlevania and World you were right about after the credits, a great twist. Since then I've haven't been playing too much. Just a little GT5 here and there when I have had time this week. I did start Dead Space 2 tonight and so far it's pretty awesome.

Personal gaming update.
Hyperdimension Neptunia arrived today, and as yet I haven't touched it because I'm *this* close (holds fingers close together) to finishing what I want to in WKC and if I stop now, I'll never finish.
As soon as I get into Neptunia, I'll see about doing a review of some kind for the user reviews.
Oh, yeah, YouTube channel, Coolness. I'e sub'd to it too. Gotta keep up with the *only* reliable news source for PlayStation - outside of Sony that is...

Although I might inflict my voice on some, I'd never inflict my image upon the world, there are some things best left unseen....LOL!
Worlds
Ar Tonelico Qoga is on pre-order with NISA, so it will be here not long after launch. I opted for the premium pack, but not the one with the calendar. Although the Neptunia playing cards are a nice novelty to have, I might have to see whether I can change my order to include the calendar now.
@tes,
LOL! Well, I opened the cards already, I'm a de-boxer, I just can't abide leaving things in the shrink wrap still to be played with.

Must have offended a few PC gamers....in that case, let's go for broke and really get their goat.
PC gaming is dead, and deserves that death. The constant upgrade cycle is bleeding people dry. At least with my PS3 there's no upgrade cycle, and all that I've had to buy apart from an HDD replacement for more capacity, is a new controller. Other than that, all my gaming money went on games. Not on video cards, RAM upgrades or a new CPU.

KZ3 is gonna have to be something I get around to despite its assured awesomeness because of all the games I gotta play first and the ever looming time constraints.
Right now I'm playing Dead Space 2 (Thanks entirely to PSXE member BeezleDrop) and Mass Effect 2. The mission to help out Liara has been the best so far, wish the whole game was like that. Oh yeah and I bought Monster Hunter Freedom for PSP, haven't gotten into it yet but looking forward to it. Why is Capcom scared to bring MH to PS3?
I signed up to the PSXE youtube as fast as humanly possible. A great idea that is to have video commentary and not review that way. I have no respect for video reviews. So there's more bigness coming to PSXE huh? Bigger than my presence? We'll see.
And I bought a bowler hat today :) Love my hats.

Tali will tell you she would like to you know with you but she wants you to herself and if you click on you only want her. She's going to tell you to make it clear whomever you're talking to you're no longer interested.
Didn't had the chance to tell Jack anything because once I enter the Omega four rally it triggered the love scene between Shepard and Jack and she died during the final mission.
But again it's still possible to hook up with more than one woman.

infamous was half the package, it was fun as hell, but when it comes to the technological department it was seriously lacking!
infamous 2 on the other hand looks even more fun then infamous, and on the technological side GOD DAM!
so happy to see it release in june, a quiet month so i can give the game the time it deserves!
as for crytek talking too much, just go watch the leaked beta videos!
this looks BETTER than uncharted 2 AND the environments are heaps bigger!
uncharted 2 did not have many visual effects going on either, where crysis 2 does if you shoot a car sparks fly, if a car explodes the screen lights up with smoke, theres far more visual effects.
mind you those vids are from jan 7th so by the time the game comes out they would have 2 extra months of polish on them.
I was so freaking close to finishing ME2!
last mission, had everyone loyal, had all the side missions completed, had all the tasks completed, had all weapon and armor and ship upgrades.
had EVERYTHING done, all i had to do was finish the last mission and i would of had everything.
so what happens?
the god dam game corrupts my save!
AGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
i feel like slapping EA and bioware so hard their heads will be spinning for decades!
and sony for allowing developers too lock their save files, for f*cks sake what for?
now im going to have to do all that all over again for my save for ME3.
F*CK THAT!!!!!!!!!!
knew i should of kept my 360, at least that does not corrupt my saves!

As for C2, I sure it's is up there to all the developer's hype, & I'll be watching for it.
PGU,
As for myself, I've been mostly too busy hunting down gaming goodies to even game till late night(& then I've only been playing in the KZ MP beta(but for hours & hours.
So far in my latest "big game hunt" this week, and since I needed a HDTV so I could hook up my new ONlive console, I found a 32" 1080p LED HDTV that was normally $599.99, on sale for only $299.99.
So I used my $100 Amazon gift card that I won from Raptr to get the TV for only $199.99, and shipped free too. This tv will hold me ttill I can find a good giant sized internet ready 3-D HDTV on sale at a great low price(probably late next year).
I've been holding back from trying out any more PS3 game's I've been buying because I'm almost at my 60GB limit.
So I just got a H-P Simple-Save 1-Terabyte external HD w/ automatic hands-free plug play back-up, on sale at Staples for only $69.99 to hold my content while I do the PS3 HD upgrade swap.
Then I found a 640GB Western Digital Blue Scorpio internal 2.5 SATA 5400RPM laptop Hard Drive(boy-oh-boy, I sure frigging hope that I bought the correct h-d) on Amazon for only $69.99, to put in my PS3, along with a nice optional metal H-D enclosure(another $5(both should be getting here sometime next week).
I also picked up a new black wii for only $119.00 & a Logitech Speed Force Wireless racing wheel for it, for only $19.99 & free shipping(normally $109.99).
And just to get started on filling my new Wii collection, I grabbed these 12 games for now....
Alien Syndrome,
Fantasy Aquarium,
FarCry: Vengeance,
Mad World,
Overlord: Dark Legend,
Red Steel,
Saint(the game, not me),
Sam & Max: Season One,
The Godfather Blackhand Edition,
The Monkey King: The Legend Begins,
& The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces

Now keep in mind that I don't play sports, RPG's, or RTS's, so I'll only pick those games up for my collection, and when only when they've become super-cheap & used.
But I am open to advice on all other good Wii games....

Crysis 1 looked kinda colorful I thought... too bad consoles are gonna hold the sequel back, mainly 360 but they shoulda just stuck wit pc exclusive.
Pgu, playing kz2 for the first time... I suck at it so im doin easy mode, so its goin... but I kinda have to force myself to do more, I guess I dont really like fps'... the resistances are more my cup of tea.. dont be mad but halo is still my top shooter, resistance is a close second tho at least there's a real story in resistance, there really isnt in halo or killzone. Oh well, ill still play kz3 sometime in life. Soon ill play vanquish, I hope its ok, I know its super short so ill beat it in like a day, then I guess gt5 is the only thing I have left after that, unless I borrow gow3 again. Maybe.
So, any advice on how to make kz more enjoyable?
Well peace out guys

I have yet to actually play Uncharted 2, I know, I know boo and hiss. I'll get to it, but it's still too expensive and a friend of mine has all the dlc for it and says I can buy the regular edition, but most days the regular edition is more than the goty version. What's that about?
Anyway, even if I had played uncharted 2, Infamous 2 would still be more important to me than UC3. As cool as Drake is in his semi likeness to Indiana Jones and his treasure hunting, I'm a comic book nerd. Super heroes are my thing. Lightning based attacks have always been my favorite element and almost every game out there focus's on fire and ice.
Infamous was a game I fell in love with and franchise I'm going to cherish for a long time. It's my super hero niche, I can be evil and zap the masses, I love it. That hero edition is mine.
PGU: I'm over 20 hours into Two Worlds 2 and I'm high as a kite. Only game I've ever played where you can summon more than one pet at a time. Not only that I've had 6 pets summoned at once, ran out of mana, they weren't all the same kind of pet either. This is from a character who I have not focused magic at all, can't wait for play through 2 where I go mage.
Also at this point in the game, I am still only to the second island, which I haven't finished exploring, and I'm only on chapter 1. Game is huge, crafting is awesome, combat is better than Oblivion by leaps and bounds, so many quests, it's so much fun.
If you're a fan of medieval/fantasy rpgs, you should not pass this game up. Graphical glitches are often, but I've yet to see a glitch that actually bothered me. The further I get into the game the more experimenting I want to do with it.
Just watch out for the baboons, they fling poo.

I've got a few vids that 'say' they are 1280 by 720 which they most certinaly are NOT! Maybe it isnt possible..
Well, their is one way. If you download this bittorrent called 'Vuze', it lets you download free HD movies then transcode them for PS3 and transfer through wifi, I got Toy story 3 in 720p and it looks stunning. If only my laptop wasnt buggered :[

Basically though, your magic page will get cluttered like crazy, unless you drop stuff into a chest. If you don't want to leave everything spread out tho you could drop all into one chest then pull out the cards by category, so that all your elements are together, your damage mods are together, like that. A pain, but yeah, two worlds 2 wasn't apparently made by guys concerned with organization. I have the same problem with my weapon/armor inventory.

I'm also excited for inFamous 2 and plan on picking up the collector's edition on that. I loved the first game and actually when through as good and evil.
Last thing which I find kind of funny is that you are about ready to play Dragon Age 2 and I'm finally playing my copy. I've been loving it and even before I started it I was planning on buying part 2.
This is a good year for PS3 and just looks like it's going to blow away the competition on exclusives alone.

When you do Tali loyalty mission and you discover her father was the traitor and not her so you have two choices either clear Tali's name by proving it was her father and not her or Tali will tell you she wants to save her father's legacy and let her take the fall for it.
Do what she ask and after that mission is done go back to her station on the ship and talk to her to get things started. Do whatever mission you haven't done and go back to her like I told World she's going to tell you she would like to have a relationship with you but she's going to tell you she wants you all to herself.
Click on I only want you option and depending if you're trying to hook up with another person she's going to tell you to make it clear to the other person you're no longer interested. But like I said once I went through the Omega four rally it trigger the love scene with Jack. Side note I guess if you treat Jack with kindness during your talks she's more emotional cuz she came to Shepard's room crying and hugging on him.
I guess the only reason my Shepard got with Tali is because Jack died during the final mission therefore no competition.

I hope this year Uncharted 3 has a collector's edition that you can buy and not need to win. I still wish I had the Uncharted 2 special edition.

Crysis 2 is still alien to me and I'll be passing on that, too.
PGU:
Bought Marvel vs. Capcom 3 on Tuesday, and have clocked in around six hours or so of gameplay. The game is nothing short of amazing, plays like a charm, and playing against friends hasn't ever been more fun for me in a fighting game. And I've never laughed outloud during a fight, but I've done so numerous times especially when two Deadpools are on the screen at once. So far, my best character is Captain America, and that really weirds me out. And yeah, I like it SO much more than Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
Later in the week I pre-paid for Bulletstorm and Killzone 3, picked up Darksiders and Demons's Souls, and two new controllers since random Mountain Dew incidents claimed the L2 button on my blue one and the triangle on my red one. Sad. I also went out and grabbed X-Men Origins: Wolverine again so I could finally platinum it. Doesn't hurt that the game is also fun.
Yeah, lots of games.

Risen is pc oriented (seeing as the 360 version could barely run at all) and it is quite colorful and vibrant. Its not a shooter though...
Dice is a PC oriented dev and BF:BC2 is rather colorful as well. I can't speak for Crysis 2, but Crysis and Warhead have some of the prettiest jungles and vegetation i've ever seen in a game.
I dont think its really fair to call out PC devs for being color-free when console shooters are just as guilty, like Gears of War, recent CODs, and Killzone 2.
You dont see many games on any platform that come close to Uncharted 2's awesomeness.
/mini rant.

I started FF:Crystal Chronicles a few days ago. It makes me worry about FFv13 because SE just can't seem to make a good action combat system. It just feels really clunky every time i have to battle more than 2 enemies at a time.
I started MoH yesterday (i'm a little late, i know), and finished it today. No game should ever be that short. I didnt even play it a whole lot, just a few short hours. With a campaign that short and easy, EA is obviously aiming for the braindead COD crowd.
I'm finishing up GoldenEye on Wii before KZ3 arrives, then i'll be pretty focused on that.
So my plans are KZ3 on PS3, Bulletstorm on PC, and FF:CC on DS until pokemon black/white is released.
