Yeah they're both the same, the actual machine is region free but they can still lock the games if they wish.by matthewp - Other Games
Not sure i like the idea of controlled addons. It was attempted by rFactor with the Round Table and was shot down within hours. if nKPro can make it work then cool, but they better be carefull with it True, the main difference though is that this would be a thing done by the developers and not just someone taking it on themselves to do it which it seems caused most of the bad feeling with theby matthewp - Other Games
rfactor has been spoiled somewhat for me by the huge amount of total rubbish released for it, I spent a few weeks checking everything out and trying to find the good stuff but after that couldnt be bothered. So the fact that netkar will control it is good I think. As far as physics go i'm sure it'll be very good, but then I think rfactor is already pretty damn good too.by matthewp - Other Games

You should play Fallout 1 & 2, both are up there with the best games ever IMO (and a lot of other people's) unforunately interplay went bust while the third was in development so we'll never see how it would have turned out, but bethesda then bought the license and started again.by matthewp - Other Games
Leave out the MMO bit Just a plain old single player RPG, looks pretty amazing IMO. Heard of Morrowind? its the sequel to that, it's developers are also making fallout 3 which I really cant wait for.by matthewp - Other Games
If you want a straight action fps then go for cod2, really enjoyed that and veteran is a superb challange if you like that sort of thing. Ghost recon is more tactical and is third person like you said but from what i've seen so far is also an excellent game. At the moment ghost recon is also much more solid for multiplayer but theres a patch for cod2 on the way supposedly.by matthewp - Other Games
Mika is mighty through Eau Rouge and the bus stop in that clip, takes so much time out of MS there. Notice Schumacher doing the old "back off or we have an absolutely enormous accident at 200mph+" Mika must have felt so good skinning him the next lap after that.by matthewp - Off-Topic

Actually recieved condemned today from the rental place, really enjoying it so far; very atmospheric and the melee combat is just brutal. Also bought GRAW, so far very impressedby matthewp - Other Games
That price is laughable, theres no way Sony can afford to lose $500-$600 on every ps3 sold. "Sony talk the talk but they've never toed the line for europe. I'd put money on a post-chrimbo launch for europe and USA." same here mate, like I said this is just them sabotaging the 360.by matthewp - Other Games
Did they release the price? I'll buy it when its close to what I paid for the 360 but not before.by matthewp - Other Games
Surprised Sony are going worldwide in November and surprised a HD will be standard, one thing I wouldnt be surprised about is if this is just Sony trying to counter the momentum the 360 is beginning to gather with the fantastic March releases, then in a few months they cancel the worldwide launch and just do Japan in November, would be just like the good old Sony PR machine.by matthewp - Other Games

Following on from my previous post, they were fine with the game getting lost in the post and are sending my next one out now, so i'd recomend them if you want to join a rental company.by matthewp - Other Games
Sony have an exclusive license until 2009 I think, so the only new F1 games will be ps2 & ps3, but Sony's F1 games are totally abysmal anyway.by matthewp - Off-Topic
Also how much do you pay to rent Xbox 360 games Matt? are you on one of those monthly rental thingies? I'm paying £10.99 a month from www.gamesfrenzy.co.uk for one game at a time, keep it as long as you like, unlimited amount per month. Been pretty happy with the service so far especially since there are only a couple of games i've actually wanted for the system, they've manaby matthewp - Other Games
does a standard usb mouse work on the 360, for fps games (cod2 etc...) no, there is USB keyboard support but thats just for entering stuff in the dashboard not for games.by matthewp - Other Games
Havent played condemned yet, supposed to be good but pretty short so i'm trying to rent it, but the company I rent from have sent other games out so far (COD2 and Gun, enjoyed both) Ghost recon is out this week and is getting great reviews.by matthewp - Other Games

The big difference with the jump from VHS to DVD is that it actually added extra features (i.e. not rewinding, bonus material etc...) plus you didnt need a buy a £1000+ TV to take advantage of it, all the new DVD formats do is make the picture sharper at a totally prohibitive price. (sure you may have more extra features on blu-ray because of its capacity but so what) I also read that blu-ray dby matthewp - Other Games
Theres no way they're gonna back out of Blu-ray this late, I agree though that they're pushing technology forward too quickly, the vast majority of people who buy game consoles hardly know a thing about blu-ray or HD-DVD and dont care. Even considering the minority that have high definitions tvs, do we really need HD movies? gaming benefits from it enormously but i've never watchedby matthewp - Other Games
That was one of the most despressing Welsh rugby performances I can remember, without Steven Jones we were totally clueless. The only positive to come from it is it spells out to the clowns at the WRU what a complete mess they've made of our championship.by matthewp - Off-Topic

I'd say it would be easier this way to make that aspect of it even better as they can work on much shorter sections rather than one huge thing every 6 years, during which it must be difficult to keep motivation up and just difficult to put together such a big game.by matthewp - Other Games
Barca won 2-1, good call Chris Del Horno's challange was obviously not a straight red, I doubt anyone would argue that but it was a yellow and he should have been booked earlier for a terrible tackle on Messi so he deserved it IMO, he was obviously trying to rough Messi up as he spent the whole half getting skinned by him. Once Barca got the lead I really think they should have gone for aby matthewp - Off-Topic
