"All is well in PS2 land"

I went to the Playstation experience at Earls Court in London and I can tell you PS2 is more popular than ever.

With Skateboarders, inline skaters and Bmx's performing tricks on the ramps situated outside Earls Court.

Then there was the thousands of people queuing to get in, when you did get in you were greated by massive projections of a whole host of AAA games like The Getaway, Stuntman, Smackdown, Lord of the Rings, Onimusha 2 the list goes on and on.

There must have been 500 ps2 connected to widescreen TV's with, all sorts of multiplayer fun going on, a on-line demonstration of Capcom's shell shaded racer 8 of us playing I came 3rd.

You could hardly get near Tekken 4 and Lord of the Rings which looked particularly impressive.

Then there was Kieron Dyer launching TIF2003 and Radio 1 DJ Emma B, rappers, break dancers and competitions. The whole event was very well organised even things like staff showing you how to play games like the Getaway which is not a Xmas killer ap I don't know what will be.

Playstation is in the sole and has tapped into what it means to be a gamer and culture that goes with it this is why PS2 rules because it is hip, happening and trendy not a kiddies machine or a uninteresting mid ranged PC (Xbox). Not to mention the best AAA Xmas range on any format GTA3 6million sold Halo 1million i rest my case.

The nearest you got to a taste of NInty and MS was in the ECTS trade show next door pity they didn't let any of the general public. Still never mind at least Sony know how to put a good show on for the users.

So you buy a game on the strength of a review, unfortunately I am not a muppet and I like to make my own mind up whether a game is any good or not.

Damn i wish someone would bring up Meka's post again, that'd insult him for a while :)

No, he means NO-ONE likes you.

AAA is a battery size, please don't tell me you spent 6 hours "playing" with batteries...

And besides, playing a few "teaser" hours of a game is hardly a wise use of a day. Not really enough time to decide conclusively if a game is particularly good, just enough to make you think you might want it. Planting suggestion upon weak minds.

Yes, it's pointless. I'd rather make better use of my time, and wait for official reviews to help me make my mind up.

wait will you do? Go away, that's wait you should do.

Wait will I do?


I dunno...I don't think that makes sense......

I think he just has to tell us all about his Playstation 'Experience'. But we don't care Techno Freak, and we think you're a n00b fanboy.
