Battlefield: Bad Company 2


I have recently acquired a closed beta key for Battlefield:Bad Company 2 courtesy of Gamespot.

I have downloaded the game and played a couple of violent rounds. So far it has exceeded my expectations. Here's my initial impressions.

The online gameplay is great, lagless? (I'm not sure at the moment needs thorough testing). Graphics and sound is also good.

(Watch out for more soon)

This game will be available this March 2010.

God of War Collection


This game is a compilation of both God of War 1 and 2 in one Blu Ray disk remastered to work on Playstation3. The biggest changes on these games are on the graphics, now running on Hi-Def (It actually runs at 1080p on my HDTV). The game content, textures, models, animations and everything are still the same as the original releases.

Plus

++No need to have a backwards-compatible PS3 to play them as the collection.
++Increased resolution resulted in improvements on graphics area as it run on High Definition.
++Very smooth movements due to increased framerate (60fps).
++Full Playstation Network (PSN) trophy support.

Minus

--The cut scenes looked like an upscaled DVD.
--Button trigger graphics during boss battles/finishing moves is looks terrible.
--Black bars on all sides using full pixel settings (1:1 pixel mapping).

These games were the best titles in Playstation2 now made even better on the Playstation3.
