As for SM, I haven't got a PSP, so I'm going through the PS2 port, which is even worse than the PSP version. SOme of the new problems include a dodgy camera and music cutting out at random... Don't know quite why I'm subjecting myself to it, really. Completionism, methinks. I did beat the boss and am playing through on Challenge Mode, trying to save up for a RYNO. and get that last skill point.



You are very dedicated to the series, Size Matters is pretty shit for a PS2 game. The uh, hm... I can only remember the 2nd and 3rd one o_O. Anyways The 2nd one is imho, the best while the 3rd one is pretty samey (It's the one that focuses on arena battles iirc), the PS3 one looks pretty good and I had a chance to play it for a bit and it's like the 2nd game from what I saw, which is good.

I never had an issue with Fallout 3 on Xbox so I don't expect any issues with New Vegas. As I recall most of the bugs affected the PC and PS3 versions last time around.

I've played all the PS2 ones (except Secret Agent Clank) at least five times. I've yet to finish SAC even once. It's really, really bad. What's most annoying is that it was never released in the UK, so I had to import a PAL copy from Australia. Cost a fortune, and it was definitely not worth the effort or the expense.

The one you're thinking of with the focus on arena battles is definitely Ratchet Deadlocked. That was the fourth PS2 game, and is fun, but definately inferior to the first three. It's very light on humour, there's nothing but combat (which gets old) and the plot is virtually non-existent.

The best of the PS2 games was the third one, Up Your Arsenal! - that's the one with Dr Nefarious as the big bad and the Captain Quark 2D platformers. Lot of fun to be had with that one.

The PS3 games, which I'm playing through at the moment, are very similar to that one. Helps that the third one has the same villain. Great fun, though some of the skill points are bloody impossible!

EDIT: Back on topic, I'm currently playing Toy Story 3 on the PS3. Which is interesting, since I've already played it on the Wii. I am a sucker for punishment.

EDIT2: No, I've just realized what I am. A sadist, and a trophy whore. I should get that tattooed on my arm or something.

Toy Story 3? Really? I didn't think serious gamers played licensed games any more. 😊

I'm playing Mass Effect for the first time. I downloaded it on Steam. Its REALLY good. I will say that, while I like your protagonist speaking rather than being silent like in KotOR and Dragon Age, CDR Sheppard has a really dull voice. My guess is that they wanted him to sound as impartial as possible so you could play either a renegade or a paragon and not have your character sound too differently when selecting the opposite choice or something. I played a bit with a female CDR Sheppard, and Jennifer Hale sounds like she does a better job of it.

I am an achievement whore. Don't worry though - I've now moved onto Prince of Persia '08, aka QuickTime Events - The Game!
