Woo-hoo! Loved this game on the Wii (and the wife and I laughed our asses off playing it) – so a HD version on a console with enough grunt to actually run it at a decent frame rate is more than welcome! Also, PlayStation Move support should make it just as point-and-shoot as the Wii version.

Gameplay footage of the first mission, which contains lots of blood and swearing, can be found: here

Papa Caesar FTW!

Fictional character Kevin Butler is the Sony PS3 spokesperson of sorts – which might lead you to believe that given Sony’s recent sue-a-thon against anyone even daring to mention the hallowed hex digits of the Master Key (Thanks, GeoHot!) – it could, and I’m not an expert, but it could, be a construed as a bad idea for whatever PR firm behind his twitter account (TheKevinButler) to re-tweet said hacked PS3 Master Key.

Which when used correctly will make a PS3 think it’s running legitimate, signed code as opposed to homebrew or warez.

Hahahaha =D Well played, exiva, well played…

Additional: As seen on unixslave.com:

I’m really in two minds about this and Natal… but then when the Wii was first announced and you could see the Wiimotes for the first time it just screamed fad!, but once you do a little bowling or tennis is all sort of made sense… It was so new it just seemed wrong, but with time became commonplace.

On one hand, it might be cool to have true motion tracking, and I’m sure there could be some good uses for it – throwing grenades/punches, light sabres, manipulating object on screen – that sort of thing. But on the other hand, it really does look like some freakish plastic ice-cream or over-sized roll-on deodorant, and I’m not sure I want to play Fight Night Round 5 flailing my arms and dripping with sweat…

So the Sony device has buttons while the Natal is button free – and I can definitely see positives and negatives for both systems – but as to which will be the best, and which if any, I’ll really want to use, I genuinely have no idea until I can give them both a shot. And that assumes that the price is right… What do you reckon?

Can’t wait to pick up a copy, though I’m undecided as to whether I want to get the GoW1 and GoW2 remastered-in-HD versions and play them first… I finished GoW a long while back but then moved to the AU (sans PS2) before finishing the second. Decisions, decisions…

[An hour or two later...]

Decisions made!

I’ll take the original GoW first! – and it’s not even available for separate purchase in the AU atm… How, you might wonder, can I get on the GoW1 train? Because the lovely wife only went and got me the super-mega-ultimate-swishy set which includes God of War Collection, GoW3, postcards, a soundtrack two soundtracks, an art-book, unlockable thingys and all manner of Kratos related goodness!

Happiness is warm set of the Blade of Chaos =P

My darling, my sweetheart, my wonderful wife got me a couple of bits and pieces for Valentines Day…

And by a couple of bits and pieces, I mean a box full o’ everything that makes me happy!:

• Hot beef jerky
• Expensive Belgian beer (Hoegaarden)
• This month’s Edge Magazine (this month for Australia, that is – we’re 3 months behind the curve!)
• Limes! (I love limes! No, really! Half a lime squeezed into ice-cold water with a bunch of ice-cubes is teh bomb!)
• Music & Video (a CD and series 1 of Brothers & Sisters – mainly because it has Brenda from Six Feet Under in it!)
• Sour sweets
• Hot sauce & a hot-chilli plant
• Lovely, lovely Coffee (Vanilla flavour & Toffee flavour! Yum!)
• Imported Root Beer!
• A new watch (okay, so it’s a candy watch.. but it’s made up for below!)

Woo-hoo!

Oh, and only a frackn’ 250GB Playstation 3! And a PlayTV PVR (records/schedules recording and playback of TV, even HD stuff!). And a copy of Little Big Planet!

ZOMG! And God of War III is coming out soon!

Get in!

I must’ve done something very, very good in a past life…. Oh, and I got her a single red rose and a card. Must do better next year!

Ah, got reminded what I did in the past: Last year I got her a laptop… Swing, meet Roundabout
