2011 was our PS3 year. We have two at home now (one’s busted) when, in the previous years, we had none. There was a lot of catching up to do. Also: I am awake this early because my belly is itchy and I can’t risk scratching it while I sleep lest I wake up with intestines and whatnot under my fingernails. Exciting times.
Just last month, the PS3 (FAT), after less than a month of having its lens replaced, broke down for good. It currently sits as a paperweight somewhere around the house. We bought a PS3 (SLIM) a few days before Christmas, and the changes we’ve noticed are: less heat, zippier(?) load times, less noise and the machine’s greater insistence on pushing things to 1080p, where the PS3 (FAT) did not.
Games played:
- (PS3) God of War 1 (not finished)
- (PC) System Shock 2 (finished, after getting it to work finally)
- (PC) Portal 2
- (PS3) Assassin’s Creed (not finished, too repetitive)
- (PS3) Enslaved (not finished, borrowed)
- (PS3) Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (borrowed)
- (PS3) Tekken 6 (Gets some play every now and then when we feel like beating each other up in the house. I am not good but I can spam you with Alisa or Asuka or Lars.)
- (PS3) GTA IV (Like my first play around, started but not finished.)
- (PS3) Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition
- (PS3) Uncharted 2 GOTY Edition
- (PS3) Red Dead Redemption (not finished)
- (PS3) inFamous (not finished, part of the “Welcome Back” package)
- (PS3) Little Big Planet (not finished, part of the “Welcome Back” package)
- (PS3) WipeOut HD Fury (part of the “Welcome Back” package)
- (PS3) Transformers: War for Cybertron (not finished)
- (PC) Team Fortress 2 (when it went free)
- (PS3) Bomberman ULTRA (during the PS+ trial, now expired)
- (PS3) Golden Axe (during the PS+ trial, now expired)
- (PS3) Burnout Crash demo (on repeat for a few hours)
- (PS3) Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (the PS3 FAT stopped reading the disc while on the last level — the lens broke after that)
- (Android) Muffin Knight (pony rainbow poops!)
- (PS3) Arkham City
- (PS3) Uncharted 3 (I will always remember this as the time when I stop believing online reviews.)
- (PS3) Saint’s Row The Third (I’ll write about this game maybe later. It was so much fun, I completed the game AGAIN on the SLIM when my saved data wouldn’t copy from the FAT.)
- (PS3) Skyrim (I think I’m at least 60 hours in … and counting. The game occasionally freezes during fast travel or on the loading screens. As a friend always says, “PC SKYRIM = MASTER RACE.” The jerk.)
- (PS3) Mortal Kombat (YES. Also, Shao Kahn is a jerk.)
- (PS3) Bayonetta (Not finished. Bought it on the premise that it was sort-of like DMC. Then I remembered I have never completed a DMC game and that I got bored with Chaos Legion when I played that years ago.)
This year’s question: will the Vita be worth it? (Or will I get an Xbox360 for Kinect?)
