The Guildmasters

Well in between playing WKC i’ve been playing my latest rental game which is Uncharted 2, was doing really well until I messed up on crushing mode.

Started the game on crushing but when I stopped playing and then played another day I must have reloaded the hard mode so only have the first 10 chapters completed on crushing, kind of mad about that so now have to replay from chapter 11.

Not too worried as it is a good game, just a shame I wasted probably a day and a half playing hard mode when I thought I was playing crushing, lol.

Have all offline trophies apart from 2, need two more treasures for the 100% and the crushing mode for completion of offline trophies.

Still waiting for some help on one trophy that I can’t get even though I know where it is.

Went on WKC a couple of times but not many playing and the few friends I did see on were either in full rooms or not showing so hope to catch more of you this coming week if your still playing.

I know I said I would find better ps3 bundles before christmas but it turns out there are better ones out there now.

Since christmas and the new year has come and gone there are better deals as sales take a downward turn and here is the latest ps3 bundle offer for those who acted wisely and saved their money.



This bundle is quite amazing really and I can’t tell you if it’s a limited time offer as yet.

You get to choose your console and yes there is a choice, remember the 250gig ps3 I wrote about a while ago? That’s the choice, either the normal 120gig or the 250gig which i’m sure a lot of people have been looking forward to. If you choose the 250gig you have to add an extra $50 though, let’s face it it’s worth it.

You also get to choose an extra controller and there are four to choose from, the sony dualshock wireless controller in black,red,silver or blue. I’ve updated this part as at first this didn’t seem like a good deal, what makes it worth it is you get an extra controller and it’s my personal experience you need at least two to get the full value out of some of the ps3 games.

You get to choose your game and it’s not just a couple like you would normally expect, 57 in total, although some require an extra $10 added and some an extra $20 added, the reason is probably to give you more choice in the bundle instead of being landed with a game you don’t really want.

My recommendation if you don’t want to pay any more extra would be either fallout 3 or resident evil 5. If you don’t mind paying an extra $20 for a more recent game then you can pick uncharted 2 or call of duty modern warfare 2, I’ll list all 57 at the end of this post and put the extra price too.

Then you have the accessory to choose with your bundle, the accessory available without paying any extra is the sony blueray remote.

If you want to pick one of the other four accessories then it’s extra so I would recommend sticking with the remote, I paid $20 for mine and it was worth it.

So total price is $399 if you choose the 120gig console, the controller color of your choice,one of the slightly older games (which are still cool),and the ps3 remote, that’s pretty good, I wish i’d have had that much choice when I bought mine.

The only extra I would say is actually worth it is the extra $50 for the 250gig, especially if your like me and enjoy the trophy hunting and messing around in the playstation network/home.

It seems we have a lot to choose from over the next couple of months, lots of new games coming in time for christmas so there should be a game for everyone.

Some of the games i’ll be reviewing over the next few days will be Brutal Legend ( release date oct 13th ), Borderlands ( release date oct 20th ), Assassins Creed 2 ( release date nov 17th ), Dragon Age: Origins ( release date nov 19th ), The Saboteur ( release date dec 8th ) and quite few more.

I’ll get you as much info on these new games which should give you an idea of what to start spending your christmas money on.

If you want me to give you some info or review a particular game just drop a post in here and i’ll see what I can do, you can pre-order most “coming soon” titles from amazon or check out my review on Gamefly and rent them first so you don’t waste money.

Tony

Uncharted 2, yes there has been a lot of hype over this game, I  read the world first review on this game in my latest edition of  Playstation magazine and I must admit it has made me really want to give this one a go.

I’d heard about this game several times before but didn’t pay it much attention but after reading up on what has gone into the game the graphics, the story and the type of action it really does sound pretty cool, if I like it enough then i’ll give a play by play post like I did with RE5.

Anyway here is a little about the game, it seems there isn’t a movement you can’t do, hang, drop, jump, slide, take cover, you name it you can do it.  There is also a lot of  shootouts, but more than that is a lot of puzzle solving, this is what caught my attention, I don’t really like just shoot em ups, I like a good rpg with a storyline and a bit of shooting, but I also like puzzle solving and using tactics, this has all the elements of being a great rpg.

Another unusual aspect is there are five difficulty levels whereas most games will only give you three so there will be a difficulty level for everyone,  I personally start on the easiest on most games and work my throught to the hardest so this one will obviously keep me going for many hours.

There is also some massive online play and that was just in beta, earning in-game money will allow you to purchase unlockables like weapon upgrades and new skins. Online modes  vary from deathmatch to goldrush, there are co-op modes for two or three players so all in all it’s sounding cool.

The game doesn’t release till October 13th so I may just download the beta online version tonight and give it a go, i’ll post here once i’ve had a first hand experience of this and let you know what I think.

If your interested you can pre-order Uncharted 2 from amazon, you can check them out from the ad on the far right hand column, just make sure the store has a good lifetime rating and you’ll have no problems.
