Gran Turismo 5: Prologue

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

Due to the long wait for Gran Turismo 5, I had to get this game to fill the craving I had to drive cars in glorious HD. As with the previous GT Prologue game, this is just a teaser to stop all those PS3 petrolheads going insane from waiting fro GT5. A good game (bought mine for really cheap), only gripe is that due to all the asthetics of the menu system, it can become frustrating waiting for the options to appear - and how slow it can be become when navigating the the different areas of the game.

This game may not be everyone's cup of tea.... but it is a good game nevertheless. Reaching back toward an era of classic platforming gameplay, this game does it with a modern twist with stunning visuals especially if vieweed on a HD tv and a top notch physics engine that will impress - whether you like the game or not. Coupled together with an excellent tutorial features (which are entertaining in themselves) - this game is an essential PS3 game to add to your collection. A lot has been made of the create your own level feature, with people recreating classic levels from Super Mario and Sonic - some player created levels however had to be removed due to copyright infringements, which is a shame. You can also download skins for your little character... I found the Street Fighter ones very amusing!

Street Fighter 4

Street Fighter 4

The main reason behind me getting a Playstation 3 - nothing beats a bit of Old Skool Street Fighter action. They've gone for a striped down Street fighter that gets back to basics, a brilliant game that rolls back the years. Many of the combinations I used to pull off in my youth still work, and I was churning it up from the get go! The game looks great, especially the facial expressions and the ability to play people oer the web is great. Allowing people to challenge you from over the world while you are playing through arcade made is really fun. The whole Street Fighter 2 gang are all present, with a few new faces and some Super Street Fighter chracters thrown in too. The fact that there are talks that new characters may be available to buy proves that this game is in for the long run, with the producers able to update content at any time.

Metal Gear Solid 4

Metal Gear Solid 4

Well what can I say! If you've ever played any Metal Gear Solid games then you know what to expect. Just a whole lot more. This game is a little hard on the PS3 hard drive space, but that's only because the Blu-ray disc is jam packed with lots of eye-watering cut scenes and other goodies. An essential PS3 game.
