    Does anyone play Battlefield 1943 on xbox? I grabbed it with my points and I'm loving it so far. Also, is the style similar to that new Battlefield that is now out?

    To be honest it got boring fast (I do understand its F2P and still in beta so there will be a lot of content added). If Netdata allows id post what I thought of it.

    Not up to me what you post. Follow the rules of the beta agreement. I'm just the techie responsible for the design and implementation teams that do the server stuff that interacts with the game.

    Let me say that what you guys are seeing in the beta is a very, very small part of the game. We're primarily doing these first tests to validate our infrastructure and P2P communication, etc. It's not really to test gameplay or content.

    God of War III kicks so much ass I don't think I could do it justice, this picture pretty much explains it all.

    Would this be worth playing if I have not played any previous GOW? The PS3 i have is Japanese and cant play older games, so I cant go back and rent them all.

    Some details are out on the new features of Halo: Reach's multiplayer:

    Article

    Looks like the matchmaking is updated and streamlined, but the biggest new feature is the Arena.

    I don't know if I will get into the Arena too much, I was always in the middle when it came to Halo 3 Mulitplayer skills. It will definitely be interesting to check out though.

    Very easily yes, it's worth playing even if you can't spell Kratos.

    I have read that GOW and Dante's Inferno are very similar. Has anyone played both? How much alike are they? I enjoyed Dante's Inferno but found it to be too short (Just over 9 hours). Is GOW just as short?

    Dante's Inferno is a shitty rip of GoW. If you had fun playing it, think about how fun GoW must be then. To the GoW fans, our prayers have been answered. 1) No more useless magic skills that you have to break the flow of the game to use. 2) No more useless weapons that you have to break the flow of the game to use. Everything is useful and need and can be used in one combo. That's right. I used every weapon/spell on one very tough monster without even having to stop swinging. The graphics are gorgeous and the story works very well. And yes, there is a part where you fuck someone for experience points in this game too.

    Yeah but does the camera drift off like a shitty indie movie or do you get to see some bouncing digital titties?

    I'm looking at buying a PSP (good deal here). I see accessories sets that include a memory stick. Because I am an idiot when it comes to specs for shit like this, is 64MB a decent amount of internal memory in a PSP? Am I going to need to get a memory card if I intend to save game files or can I get away with not having one? I don't plan to do any mods or anything to it - probably pretty much just straight game playing, maybe the occasional movie. Thanks in advance for your answer!

    You guys are really making me want to pick up GOW, I know I wouldn't be disappointed but I'm only like 4 hours into FF XIII. Would I be able to have both and not fail out of school?

    I'm about 35 hours into FFXIII and holy shit some of these fights are intense. To give you an Idea I'm averaging between 4-5k damage per hit. Some of these bosses have two or three MILLION HP.

    I'm not sure, but I can say that I'm at the 37 hour mark and I think I'm getting pretty close to the end. Of course, I have spent a couple hours here and there power leveling my characters. I will also probably spend awhile after the story doing all the side quests, or at least until I give up and start GoW3.

    I just passed 40 hours and I am pretty sure I have to be close to the end. Maybe 3 or 4 more hours.
