Now I just need to hurry up and finish GoW 2!

I just played about ten minutes of the Dante's demo.

The cut scenes/cinematics are very nice. They look great! (too bad they ripped off Gladiator's wife's death discovery scene for Dante's wife's death discovery scene)


The actual game play is just OK. First off, the swarms of low-fi AI enemies are just terrible. They just approach you and stand there. Also, your character's movements are jerky and not as fluid as Kratos in God of War III (I have played, well...a fair amount of that game).

My impression is that Dante's is a decent game, but really unless you don't have a PS3, just wait the extra five weeks and get God of War III. No question. Seriously, once God of WAR III comes out, there will be no comparisons.

But if you have no way of playing God of War III on a PS3, I guess Dante's is a suitable if not meager substitute.

Well, you just convinced me. I will cancel my DI order and pre-order GoW III instead. You hit the nail on the head though.

[Stryker]

Done. I cancelled DI pre-order and pre-ordered GoW III. Thanks Tiny for your input. Loooonnng time till April!

I'll have to disagree. First off, you only played 10 minutes of the demo. Play the entire thing if you are going to criticize it. In the beginning of GoW 1 and 2, the enemies start off weak and stupid, just like in Dante's Inferno. I don't think the movements are jerky at all, either.

I'd buy both if you enjoy those types of games.

Final Fantasy VIII on PSN!!!

I got a question.

I bought a PS3 a couple of days ago and ordered a modem off of the web as soon as I bought it.

While I am waiting for the modem to be shipped here could I temporarily use the modem that is plugged up to my PC to play online and then when my new modem comes in can I switch them with no problems?

I don't know if things like that will mess up the Playstation Network or something...

[Buck]

Dude, you dont need 2 modems, that won't work at all.

You want to buy a router.

To answer your question, you can use the modem you currently have.

You'll need to buy a router if you don't want to keep switching back and forth.

The way a router works is by plugging your modem into it and then it lets you plug multiple things into that (your PS3, computer, xbox 360, etc.)

Heres where you can buy some routers.

I'm not much of a gamer, but I do love picking up Ninja Gaiden sigma and madden from time to time. I recently saw there is a new Gaiden out and since I never beat the first one, I've started playing it again. Completely bad ass game. I'm a panzy though and have to use a walk through off ign or gamestop. I get really frustrated at games when the point is "what do I do next." Id much rather just focus on beating up some bad guys.

I was at Best Buy today, so I walked over to the gaming section to hang out a bit and see what was going on. I overheard this older woman asking where the "extra controllers for PS3" were. and I grabbed a dualshock 3 and handed it to her. Then she said she was looking for a few games. On her list was FIFA 2010, NBA 2010, Assasin's Creed 2, DJ Hero and Uncharted 2. I helped her find all those on the shelf, as well as sold her GTA 4 on greatest hits for $29.99

Friggen $370 worth of games!

Lucky-assed grandkids!

Is that for broadband? I don't have wireless internet and my cable modem is up stairs so I bought a new one just for the PS3.

Yeah man. You'll have to run an ethernet cable from your router upstairs to your PS3 downstairs.

If you buy a wireless router, you will have wireless and wont need an cable, but it doesn't always run as smoothly.

Get the wireless! PS3 is already set up for WiFi.

Looks like the MAG beta is available for all. Did I miss this? Any good?
