Madagascar 2!!
MATT @ Nov 23rd 2008 4:49PM
I'm hearing Madagascar 2 early contender for GOTY.
playcrackthesky @ Nov 23rd 2008 11:24PM
Yup, I went to the local game shop and they were all entirely sold out of it.

If you're a European on the fence about Resistance 2, then I would highly recommend buying this game.
-It has replay value out the ass.
-Co-op is highly addicting.
-Single Player Campaign is Epic.

Hell yeah, been playing this mutha since Nov.4. Best bangs for your bucks!! And that's for sure.

This man lies.
kentuckyfried @ Nov 23rd 2008 10:19PM
^ ditto on that. This man lies. the single player isn't as good as in Resistance 1, though I hear the co-op and multiplayer are better.
Nugent @ Nov 24th 2008 2:21AM
R2 is a great game. The coop campaign alone is worth the price of admission. I haven't made much of a dent in the single player campaign, because the coop campaign is so addictive.
From what I've done so far, the single player campaign is pretty good too. I don't really like the two weapon limit though.
Jake @ Nov 23rd 2008 4:59PM
been waiting for an update all day lol
didn't even know resistance 2 wasn't out here yet
Bryan @ Nov 23rd 2008 5:15PM
well, on to watching Air Force One...
Lavat @ Nov 23rd 2008 5:19PM
OMG!!!!! HighSCHOOL musical!!!!!!!!!!
OMG OMG....THE VIDEOGAME>...
I am SOOOOO ....not caring... In other news...I wonder why the MGO online shop is not letting me buy the MEME expansion. Cheap Japanese service...
nakedatthecomp @ Nov 23rd 2008 6:29PM
i was so excited for that too!!
bvhj @ Nov 23rd 2008 8:08PM
That opening paragraph is amazing.
More please.
maidsandharem @ Nov 23rd 2008 5:57PM
With all the good games coming in this and next years i dont know what to get :(, can anyone help me? i only got $70 and was wanting to either buy deadspace , littlebigplanet, endwar, soccom , or wait till next year and get killzone2 ( i want it bad!) help?
? @ Nov 23rd 2008 6:04PM
lbp easily wins all those other games
top.slacker @ Nov 23rd 2008 6:11PM
Seeing as you can only get one:
Dead Space - No, not enough replay value to justify it.
LBP - Amazing game, I'd highly recommend.
Endwar - Not sure about it, looks good but not amazing like the others... although if you like strategy games and like the demo it might be worth it.
Socom - Cheaper than the others, so you might be able to find LBP cheap and then get socom too if you're a socom fan.
Killzone 2 - I'm in the beta and I've played the single player, it's incredible. I'd highly recommend based on what I've played.
Lavat @ Nov 23rd 2008 6:14PM
Deadspace is from EA and as usually you get something that is never quite there in a spot.... or to say whether it is good or bad. Meaning...it is not the action survival horror that Resident Evil 5 is.
EndWar...prepared to get the new PS3 mic. because any standard Bluetooth is faulty on it. Other than that...It is more of a rent than something you want to buy and spend all your time with. As the action is faster for a RTS and that is ok and all...but is still another odd-man-out. When you come down to it.
LBP is a personal choice...Do you like platform games like that? Try waiting for a demo or if you were already in the Beta and reallllyyyy like it...go ahead.
Socom is really for past Socom fans. There are some things that might put off new comers. As it does not feel like it was even partially built from the ground up.
Killzone 2 seems to be a great game...I can not really reveal any info about the beta myself though...Let me just say...That if not for the multiplayer go for the single player. It is doing what Call of Duty 4 did and almost perfecting and atheistically pleasing the genre...
Anyway...That is all I got to say. Good luck...
DrunkRaba @ Nov 23rd 2008 6:46PM
Little Big Planet is quite good, but with only the $70 you might just want to get Killzone 2.
Sackolantern PSN ID: johnnynumber5 @ Nov 23rd 2008 9:22PM
Honestly LBP is easily the best game to buy this generation. It went from being a game I was curious about to being my favorite game of all time. If you own a PS3 you need to do yourself a favor and buy LBP. Easily the best game in the last 5 years.
Jeff @ Nov 24th 2008 1:07AM
Don't get LBP if your looking for a single player experience, and if your not the creative patient type forget about LBP.
Also the reason I wanted to get little big planet was so I could re-create all my favorite places whether it be based on a game, movie, or show. But the moderators of that game are forced to remove your made levels if they're infringed.
Only would recommend the game if your below 15 years of age.
colinbell @ Nov 23rd 2008 6:52PM
Whatever happened to SOCOM? Anyone knows if we are going to get it this year in UK?
Shax @ Nov 23rd 2008 11:15PM
your right it was listed for release this week but now been changed to January (on Play anyway). the headset though is still listed for friday. whether it is actually released then though..........
Stalin @ Nov 23rd 2008 7:58PM
uh, i'm still into Valkyria Chronicles, Fallout 3, LittleBigPlanet and Final Fantasy VII, so it would be irrational for me to buy Resistance 2 - especially since i also want to buy Naruto Ninja Storm

i'm back in position to afford a US ps3 release. things are looking up
bugatti23007 @ Nov 23rd 2008 10:21PM
high school musical game will sell tons of PS3's for the holiday but most likely the DS and PSP
FrodoTBaggins @ Nov 23rd 2008 10:24PM
I'm almost glad that an awesome game or two wasn't released this week. In the last two months I have purchased: Resistance 2, Rock Band (with instruments), Rock band 2, LBP, Naruto, Cod W@W, Force unleashed (the only game I regret), Ninja Gaiden Sigma (didn't get around to playing it earlier), the and the Bluetooth headset then the psn games (too many to mention). Still gotta buy Valkyria chronicals as well. That should keep me going until Killzone 2.
This is getting expensive....
Tylergels @ Nov 23rd 2008 10:26PM
um....
AC: For Answer is actually an amazing game. Just throwing that out there.
It's AC: 4, but more "Hardcore"
iamkid @ Nov 23rd 2008 11:35PM
"a few rubbish games no-one cares about."
i lol'd
Ty @ Nov 24th 2008 7:22AM
Hey fellow monarchians, let me know how Armored Core: For Answer is. Long live the Queen of Canada.
Dan Rabot @ Nov 24th 2008 7:45AM
Is this PS3 Fanboy or Resistance 2 Fanboy??
I found R1 to be seriously poor. Didn't "feel" real enough, everything was bit "flat" IMHO. So I have little hope for R2 myself. Didn't enjoy the single player, the online was even worse. I like realism, not frantic, unreal like running around blasting lasers!
I'm glad there's nothing i want out this week, I've bought a whole lot of games recently and can't justify buying yet more!
To the disser of LBP - This game rocks so hard! The mods have chilled out and there are plenty of "tribute" levels out there. LBP is not a game, it's a tool. Like an awesome virtual construction kit - it's so much more than a game!
I'm a 24 year old marketing co-ordinator and I love LBP - really lets me get creative. So don't say it's for under 15's, that is plain stupid.
Resistance however, I for one was bored of running around blasting aliens when I was 15, if anything is aimed at the kids, it's Resistance. Like Halo for the PS3. - Lame.
Rafael @ Nov 24th 2008 10:18AM

Sabi @ Nov 24th 2008 1:18PM

iDiaz @ Nov 24th 2008 2:26PM
