Tell me how it went

Tell me how it went. I currently bought an EyeToy for the PS3 for $25 including shipping on eBay but haven’t tried it extensively. I simply got to see the feed of the camera through their program but haven’t been able to use the camera through Skype or MSN yet. Either way it looks very promising!

Have you ever dreamt of using your PS3 controller on your PC? Well, dream no more because its possible!

This is my PS3 collection. How did I buy so many games? Let’s say I only purchased 2 of them. Another one was simply $5. Now after having my PS3 do I truly love it? Not completely but am satisfied. Below is a short review of each of the games I’ve bought and played.

Def Jam Icon Review 0/10

What!? I expected this to be up to par with Def Jam Icon Fight for NY on the PS2. This is a new title of its own. The formula was changed completely, and no more 4 player brawls. This is simply 1 on 1. The graphics are decent but the game play is horrible. Do not buy this game! Even if it is $5.

Metal Gear Solid Review 10/10

Great story, great cinematics, great game play. Online Multiplayer is simply considered an add-on bonus content. A definitely must buy! No doubt about it.

Call of Duty 4 Review 9.1/10

This isn’t simply the Game of The Year…this is what every FPS should feel like. Addicting, making have an ache in your stomach when you are away from the game for five minutes. The single player campaign is short but amazing! The online multiplayer is addicting with the ranking system as well. With the big variety of game modes, this sure is something I won’t put down for a long time…
