Both the new xbox and PS4 might have anti-used games measures in them. They want to kill the used games market as it only makes money for retail shops not the developers.

They have an update for firmware for the ps3 called Cinavia which now stops you playing sony ripped videos.
 
Do they not realise that a lot people buy these games with the intention of selling them on? So if they are stopped from doing this they won’t buy in the first place!
I read that Sony have said they won’t block used games on the PS4 but they can’t stop makers putting online codes in to the games, like a few do now. This I can live with, as I don’t play online much anyway.
 
While waiting for RE: Revelations and The Last of Us to come out, trying to find some old games I missed that I may enjoy.

Looking at:

Uncharted ( bundle is only 29$)
Infamous (bundle for 3 games is 39)
???
???

Trying to think of other games I may like that have missed.
 
Great games all them Bluff, Also check out Heavy Rain if you have not played it

My worry is the two games I mentioned come out pretty soon ( less than a month and a bit more than a month) so don't want to get all involved in one and drop to go to another. Like to finish the games out before moving on.

Picked up FIFA again but think that igh be more used during the summer when I am craving football!
 
I suck at FIFA :( i enjoy the Football manager games more anyway :)

Decent enough but don't have the time to play it all the time ( as with most games). Decisions decisions..... I could always replay the MGS HD collection. <laugh>

Uncharted seems more my type of game than ifamous but I do like how your decisions can affect the game as well ( liked that about Bioshock as well).
 
Yes if i was picking one it would be Uncharted, some of the best voice acting i have heard in a game to be fair!
 
I think it has picked up lots of awards over the years, reminded me of what Tomb Raider games should have been over the years. [though the latest Tomb Raider is good] still not in the Uncharted series league yet

Shoud be a good year with games: New MGS, Last of us, watchdogs, RE: revelations, GTA 5, The Evil Inside ( done by original RE creator) ,possibly new consoles? <ok>

When it goes down in price I will look to snag the new bioshock as well. Love games with a good story and twists.
 
What do you guys think of this!

Hmm, good ideas but would need to see it in person. Seems a bit much?

Looks quite cool, provided you have a big enough room to benefit from it. Also looks like you'll need some hefty hardware and a TV set up designed to cope with it - the system already doesn't cope that well with bookcases, and I doubt it will be that great if your TV is in the corner of the room, rather than flat against the wall.

I reckon some people will use it, but mainly for the ability to vary their room environment with the game, rather than to actually extend their screen and get a better view.

I can see me setting up my Living room around this lol :]
 
Some of the more subtle effects are great ideas. The effect that makes the room wobble could really freak some unsuspecting people out.

Think of how this could drag you into a really good horror Game/Film!
But I agree the simple effects were the most stand out. Like the snow. Or the room dimming as the car moved out of the sun.
