I have gone demo mad over the last few days but it has been fun trying out some games that I would not necessarily play.
Darksiders is a great RPG game with no fuss. God of War is a game with extra features to activate certain fight scenes for different characters as you fight them but [...]
I had seen a few adverts for this and decided to download the demo and take a look at the God of war 3 demo. I didn’t know but this game is only available on the PS3.

It is generally accepted worldwide, even by EA, that the 2008 entry in the FIFA series of games fell short of expectations. EA have noticeably taken this information on board to produce one of the best football games that money can buy. EA even appear to have been exceptionally receptive to their fans listening to criticism and feedback from many fans, forums, and critics.

Gamers are enthusiastic about the Playstation3 and the new experience it offers.
Just what does the new format of the PS3 games offer?
Well due to its being written on Blue-Ray Discs, the gaming experience will be parallel to HDTV in terms of its quality. This is because of the ability of the disc to store 10x as much data as the DVD. Having the ability to store more data, it means that programmers are able to incorporate more features that would enable it to deliver high picture and interactive quality.
PS3 Games are reported to contain a hardware solution that will allow it to playPlayStation 2 games.
PS3 Games will most definitely have new features as well as modern technological gaming breakthroughs. Aside from that, however, is the possibility of the console carrying the main components that are found in most PS2 or PlayStation 2 games.
Judging by early reports the Playstation 3 is going to be one sweet machine.
With new Blue-ray technology it will be setting the standards for the future. Plus it will be with a DVD drive as normal.
The Playstation 3 will be like a mini entertainment computer, with a huge amount of processing power.
Will it rival the XBOX 360? only time will tell.
