Its TES, I was interested the second it was announced. I cant wait for Skyrim.  I have actually avoided everything since E3, I do know about the perks which sound awesome.

^ Yeah, I was surprised it only took five mintues for the system update. I think it's because I bought the new Uncharted 3/PS3 bundle, which came out this week, so it was mostly updated already.

I've signed up with PSN now. Why does PSN+ require a credit card when I have a free 30-day card in my hand? WTF, Sony?

^ Yeah, that sucks. I don't want to give Sony my CC info. I only use points cards on consoles now. No PS+ for me.

Oh, well. Everything else is great so far. I'm downloading the God of War 3 demo. Never played a GoW game before.

Oop! I got so excited I posted twice!

YAY ! ! ! !

How am I a dudebro. I enjoy blue hedgehogs, elves in tights, and playing with sackboys to guns.

You are correct there. You are a furry.

Don't forget the PSN name for the rest of us to add you!

Oops, I forgot about that. It's Ravenprose

Uncharted 3 is done! Last few levels were kinda meh....too predictable. Good game, but its no Uncharted 2. I'd give it an 8.6 rating.

I can't let Hamster steal all the thunder today...

Picked up along with it:

I played more of Real Racing 2 and I think it's the most fun I've had with a racing game since TrackMania.

The game certainly isn't perfect or anywhere close to that but since I'm not a total racing/sim nut I never, ever purchased a wheel for any of my consoles so these analog tilt controls are the closest experience to that for me outside arcade games that I haven't touched in ages. They really work well and make for a very fun experience, especially with the in-car view. I don't even mind the lack of manual transmission and analog gas/break yet.

You could argue Wii could offer a similar experience and also have buttons for gas/break/transmissions but few, if any, bothered serious racing attempts on it, and I actually think having the screen so in your face helps the experience too. At least, for whatever reason, I never felt the Mario Kart Wii controls this fun. In this game so far it just feels great to be able to hold your racing line pretty damn precisely (I've disabled most aids too).

Do any PS3 racing games work well with DualShock 3 tilt based steering or is that dodgy? It works so well on iPad2 that i found myself wishing for Daytona to be ported if SEGA could manage to find an intuitive way to add manual transmission if not also analog gas/break (I've got a few ideas that could semi-work, at least much better than not having AT option at all, I elaborated on GAF but there's no reason to post them here I guess).

Edit: and of course again I'm not recommending this thing if you can't get it cheap. Just speaking as someone who got a hold of it under certain conditions and enjoys some of what it offers. You'd be better off buying a cheaper decent racing wheel for your consoles and/or PC instead. But if you do get one of these for other reasons then it's nice to have games like that too, for someone who doesn't have a wheel.

** These are the games I paid off in full today, thus completing my retail 2011 purchases... I hope! Now all I have to do is wait! **
