Running video games (and consoles) thread

I think you'll be quite satisfied. Definitely Game of the Year material.

 

I got the game the first week (also got a $10 gift card with it from Best Buy), but haven't had the chance to open it yet. I'm sure I'll get into it during my four-day weekend.

 

I think I'm going to pony up for a PlayStation phone next week, anyone else as excited about those as I am?

 

Nope, I've got an iPhone. Been playing Infinity Blade lately - pretty impressive game for $2.99.

The Xperia looks alright, but it's really just a weak version of a PSP. I suppose if you game a lot on the go it beats holding both a cellphone and a PSP in your pocket - but that's one of the many reasons I went the iPhone route anyhow.

 

I'm an Android guy through and through, never liked the iPhone and my brother had a lot of problems with his before he switched (though he may be the only person who had troubles) so I love that the PS phone is Android.

 

I have not heard of this at all. Tell me more.

 

Tommy, it's like the PSP 1000 or whatever it was. You'll be able to buy and play PSP-store games on it.

Basically it's very well built, so it should hold up to wear and tear well, but the screen isn't very bright.

I'm sure the games library makes it desirable. Android is a nice touch too. If my phone weren't so closely tied to the work I do and I didn't already have an iPhone I'd probably give it a shot.

 

Thanks Gomer!

LA NOIRE UPDATE: I've made it past Vice and am onto the Arson Squad now. Intriguing story plot keeps on getting better.

Also nailed a 5-star perfect rating on THE SET UP case during Vice.

 

so far, so good with LA Noire... not sure I like the controls of it, but I can get past that...

 

What's giving you fits exactly? You have an Xbox or Ps3?

 

Ps3. Just that typically it's X to accelerate, square to brake, but it's R2 to go, just weird.

 

Had an issue with that at first too. Just wait til some of the more intense chases on the street crimes/later cases.
