MANY A CONGRATS!

"And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced.
But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great console.
The console gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire
and thunder upon them.
For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Microsoft cowered in horror."

Sony, 7:15

well, not quite, but almost there! :D
have fun :D soon i'll be having one of those (each?) myself :D

That, or the reality that there are 5 PS2 games I want to play:

God of War
God of War 2
Okami
Shadow of Collusus
ICO

And the other reason that this is a birthday gift from Kelly :D
Good system though, menu is very PSP like which is a bit crappy but otherwise it's very stylish. I don't like it's weight though.

More details soon.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A. Damluji said...

those games are TEH AWESOME!

check out GodHand as well

haven't played God of War 2 yet myself, here they're still selling PIRATED COPIES of it for 10$ (the norm is 2$)
so i'm not buying till it gets cheaper :D

like i said, have fun :D

India: come on! i mean, do we really care that much on which system we play? i just want great games, thass all :D

SoB said...

I agree India:
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I fell, I fell....

On a serious note though: I just wanna play some games as 13 says. As long as my collection has Nintendo in it, the other 2 are just bystanders :p

A friend just told me to ditch Okami cos it's a bit boring. Thoughts?

INDIA said...

@ '13, this is just a game I and SoB ("used to") play where we ("used to") ACTUALLY despise Sony's gaming platforms.

Anyways, right now my residency application is taking a bit longer than expected. So, I hope I can afford to snatch an HDTV and a console after I get settled! maybe I'll just skip this gen :(

"...Okami...a bit boring. Thoughts?"

well, honestly depends on how you want your games:

its a beautiful, fluid game BUT with some really repetitive moments.
i kinda cooled down on it after a 10-day playing frenzy..
beautiful, but flawed.

if you must get a Clover game, try Godhand, this is like Old-School beat-em ups with a modified Resi4 engine and TONS of "incorrect" humor :)) i love it! oh and its hard as all hell, and then some.

--
GoW II is an absolute killer, if you want to get any PS2 thing, get that first :D
(warning: it will ruin/upgrade your standards for platform-games, you will use it later to gauge all other platformers you play, and they will come up short)

--
Shadow of the Colossus:
AMAZING, but EMPTY!
you have an area the size of Iraq, a horse, and ONLY 12 monsters to kill.
ingenious, beautiful, dazzling, but EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY!
(the Colossi will keep haunting you, they are HUUUUGE)

--
ICO: same developer of Shadow of Colossus, expect the same incomplete genius :)

sorry but i got carried away, i feel very strongly about those games and so had to speak up :D

@Indy
OR: you can wait for the second/third generation games, which will arrive on the 360/Wii/PS3 and subsequently cause the end of the world as we know it! i am serious! :))

sorry bout the residency thingy, hope everything goes better soon..

again i am serious: its hard, but if you can, WAIT for the later games. they will be amazing..

The emptiness is to make you relate to the character. Galloping for 10-20 minutes is to create a bond. I think. I can't wait to play this game.

Also, Katamari, how could I forget that! I loved it on the PSP, one of the funkiest games ever made.

Beautiful Katamari is a 360 exclusive :)

Forgot to say REZ, best SEGA game ever.
Why I sold my dreamcast I don't know. I had it there and loved it to bits. I'll get the PS2 version.
