Went out today and got myself MAG, LBP and GOW3 today, all for trading in one PS3 controller that I got spare as my bundle :')

Not from GAME or Gamestation, right?

Anyway, I see you're playing Battlefield 3 at the moment, MAG is very similar to BF3, but I don't think it's as good. You're better off just sticking with BF3.


Nah got it from CEX, GS and game are not doing any trade ins I don't think. And CEX offer better value anyway, but I've also glimpsed some good prices on the exclusives - £12 for GOW3, £4 for MAG and £5 for LBP so I took them three, was considering Heavy Rain, but found it a bit overpriced at £15 at the time.

Yeah so far I've only been mainly playing Uncharted 2, still need to install that stupid MAG patch and update the other PS3 games, but slowly getting there. I think I am nearing the end of Uncharted 2. Although admittedly the game is good, it's not the masterpiece that many made it out to be. The story hasn't gripped me so far in a way that some games did and the combat mechanics as well as animations can be annoying sometimes. I think I am on the way to getting used to a PS3 controller, but aiming is still a massive bitch.

So far my collection looks like this;

Resistance 2, Kz2, UC2, LBP, MAG and God of War 3.

I also used to think Uncharted was overrated, I thought they were good games at best, but after my 2nd playthrough of Uncharted 2 I started to love it. It's not the best game of the generation for me, but it's in the top 10.

I hate patches too, they never used to be a problem for me, but recent patches have taken almost the whole day to download (Gran Turismo 5 and Battlefield 3 are the worst offenders).

I think it's a good game, definitely top 10 I've played this gen, however, other than very much liking the main character and some visuals(Tibet and train sequence in particular) I have found not very much awe-inspiring that I was led to believe by so many PS3 fanatics.

Drake has to be one of my favourite characters(top 5) ever, probably very close to 1st, and the script is witty but seems forced at times, like they tried too hard to get the player to like the character, although I did fall for it!

I have BF3 on 360 and it took about an hour and a half to upload, whereas the MAG patch which is about 3/4th of the size is taking considerably longer, as well as the Resistance 2 patches.

I think I am nearing the end of Uncharted 2 too.
