Dirt 2 - 8/10

Dirt 2 is the most recent Rally racing game released by PS3, I just returned it yesterday after 3 weeks of play time. For those who love rally racing, this is maybe one of the the best rally game. There are different type of races with different cars. From rally races, to truck races, to 4 by 4 races. The graphic is not especially outstanding but acceptable. The only down side about this game is that you can't play 2 players mode with the same console. Therefore, you can't race your friend at home. There is a variety of difficulities that I am sure will satisfy majority of the players. To be very honest, the normal difficulty is already very hard for me. This could be a good challenge for many racers.

Afro Samurai 3.5/10

This way in every single way does not belong to the gaming world. It was rated 3.5/10 on gamespot, but I do not agree with the rating at all. The gameplay could not get any worse. One of many bad things is the camera view, it cannot be customized nor can it rotate. Also, there is a awful amount of unneccessary "swearing" words. These words can at times enhance the game when the appropriate amount is used, but it is overly used in this game. Looking at some of the review on Gamespot. The new Star wars game was just rated 3.5/10 and with my previous experiences with Star Wars games, I believe Afro Samurai should be rated at the same level. I returned this game 2 days after I received it in the mail. It is very frustrating when the gameplay does not fit you style.

Red Faction Guerrilla 8.5/10

This was rated 8.5/10 on gamespot and I would have to agree with the rating myself. After receiving this game for about two weeks, I am almost finished with it. Unlike other FPS games, other than 3 require mission per chapter, you have choices of a few other missions to accomplish in order to proceed to the next chapter. The controls are pretty much like other FPS, it shouldn't be hard to get a hold of the control. With some FPS have the camera locked, you have the option to rotate your camera in Red Fraction. There isn't many cut scene in the game, so for those who like to watch cut scene like metal gear, this might not be a game for you. The storyline is simple and straight forward, make life better on earth for human being by killing the "EDF" who is the human biggest opposing force. Overall, not a bad game.

Transformer 6.5/10

Transformers game is rather disappointing. Knowing that it’s a short game, I thought it would be easy to get a feel of the game play. The controls are rather confusing and hard to use. The story line is kind of off track. Although I like the movie, I am assuming that you have to be a big fan of Transformer in order to fully enjoy the game. It seems like the same mission over and over to me. If you are looking to get this game, this is definately a rent.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009

Got rid of this game today, as PES 2010 is going to be release in around a month time. For those who own this game, you might want to sell it off now while you can. As a PS3 gamer, this is maybe one of the worst game for online play. It basically lags every single game at some point. Other than that its a good game, well it is kind of a bias as I am a big fan of winning eleven, and I just have to say the game play is much better than fifa 09. Though, the online play is definitely better for fifa 09. My hope is that PES 2010 online play will improve.

PS3 - Protype 8/10

The current game that I am playing. The game seemed very violent, and the face is that it is indeed violent. Although is violent, the gameplay is very interesting compare to other adventure games. With different techniques available, you are doing a lot more than just hitting the "x" button as many times as you can in a minute to kill monsters. This is actually indeed a challenging adventure game requiring some skills. The graphic and the sound of this game are as good as it can get. Details are relatively good compare to other adventure games. There are 27 core missions in this game and I am currently on the 23rd mission. There are too many side missions to count and each with their own challenges enhancing the gameplay of the game. This is one game that you should definitely try out if you have a chance.

about game access

It has been almost an year since I started using gameaccess. And I have nothing to say about it except the fact that it has been great. With availability to so many games, I thought I would start writing about games that I have played and how I like and dislike about each one.

There are goods and bads renting with gameaccess.ca. I will start with the "bads" first so it doesn't seem like I have a bias.

BAD #1
The bad thing about gameaccess is that if you are only taking one game out at a time at the minimum price of $17.99. You will be stuck without a game for almost a week when you are returning them. First you have to send the game back, which will take around three days and then you will have to wait another three days for them to send another game back for you.

BAD #2
You don't get to pick you game. You pick a list of ten games, and they will send you what they have on hand. Although this seems like a big disadvantage, but in fact its really not. Because you can have ten games that you want to play and that's me and it didn't matter which game they send to me first.

Solution
There are two options, if you select the return fast for $3.99, you will only have to wait three days to get your next game instead of 6. And if you select the reserved it option for $1.99, you get to receive the game you choose!! Yea, it seems costly. But if you sign a one year contract with them, you get both of them for free. If you are in doubt about the service, you can give them a call and they will give you a try for these service for free for one month. I have signed the one year contract and I cannot complain about the service.

GOOD #1
It's cheap, for only $17.99 a month, you can get a game of your choice. Compare to 59.99 or 69.99 plus tax. To those who finish a game within a month of time, this is definately the choice to go with.

GOOD #2
Games that you do not like you can return it right away. Instead of losing money around $20 usually, selling used game out. You only waste a week or two of your time which is less than $10. And trust me, there are games that you play and want to throw right out the window.
