Customer Review: No Pointing - Easy to Use - Original Product - Good Price…
I’ve given it 5 stars because i can’t think of something that I don’t like about it. This is the easiest way for someone who doesn’t know how to use a controller, to watch dvds/bluray on the ps3‘>ps3. It’s an original Sony Product so quality assured. It’s got every button that the controller has even R3& L3 should you ever need them, plus its got its dvd/bd command buttons. My dads been watching series after series of Dallas recently and they are slightly scratched so skip on our normal dvd players, but work perfectly on the ps3‘>ps3. Now that he has the remote its easy for him to watch his dvds on it without having to get out of his lying on the sofa position because theres no pointing required (bluetooth radio signals). he can even press eject on the remote to see where the next cd needs to go! A real necessity for true ps3‘>ps3 accessory collectors also.
Customer Review: Essential gear for the none gamer.
If gaming is your scene, and playing around with the supplied games contoller is second nature to you, then this remote control will probably be way down your ‘must have’ list. If, however, you are like me and bought the PS3 more for playing Blu-ray and up-scaled DVDs than for the games, then having this piece of kit is just about a no-brainer. The non gamers ‘must have’. I bet, though, that like me you will continue to point it at the Playstation even with it being Bluetooth and not I/R !!

Discrete appearance and safe operation, ideal for long gameplay session!

Silent-Running? design for quiet operation during play

Prevents potentially dangerous overheating during sustained use

Customer Review: dont bother buying
all in all from the comments u can see this product is completely useless, in my opinion the best way to help your PS3 to stay cool is to keep it upright, this way the hot air rises to the top of it and is expelled a lot easier with the top fan, also make sure it has room and the heat doesn’t conduct to say for example, DVD/Games cases, your storage unit whatever.. had lots of experience with stuff like this through my custom pc’s

Customer Review: More like a heating fan…
When I 1st saw this product at my local GAME store, I thought; “Great! Something to help my PS3 to cool it’s engines!” But I was wrong.

The 1st thing that really stunned me is this “cooling fan” fits at the back of the PS3. Why is it unusual? Because the only part of the PS3 that really burns up is the (right) side of the console, & I presume it would fit there instead.

Further problems persists when you safely attached the fan to the back of the console (troublesome as you gotta take out all the wires from the PS3 in order to securely click the fan, plus since the PS3 is quite heavy, it doesn’t make it any easier). So to test the fan, inserted a game, barely 5mins in, the console starts breathing heavy air, then another few more minutes, you hear clicking sounds (like 2 plastic sticks batting each other) & to top everything off, the PS3 starts reaking out boiling plastic.

When I switch off my PS3, I checked the side of the console, it was BOILING. Worst than when I didn’t attach the so-called cooling fan. When I detached the fan, it was reaked with the scent of burnt plastic.

I was unlucky that I can’t return my shoddy product (you know those annoying refund guidelines, if you opened it, you can’t return it), so my advice to you do not get this product & save yourself ?15. It doesn’t do your PS3 or your wallet any benefits what so ever…

Customer Review: Who needs UK release date?
Guys, the PS3 is flopped since his been released. but who cares, this game is the reason to own a PS3. well thats what I thought until i read that the Mics aren’t wireless?. the PS3 has the ability to have up to 7 devices through Bluetooth. when i first heard that I said “who would want 7 devices?.”. with this game, its begging for it.however the good news its already been released in America, he didn’t get off to a good start only selling 4k units (179th on the weekly chart). but at least it gives you the option to buy it from there. as all PS3 games are region-free.
Customer Review: Will it really be December?
Having had this item on order since its release was announced, long ago earlier this year the time may have (AT LAST) arrived. According to Playstation’s (apparently) semi-official blog threespeech it WILL be released on 7TH DEC 2007. You can also check out the singstar myspace which confirms this date-dare we get excited now?

Customer Review: Blows the Competion Away
Wow, take about immersive gameplay, if there was ever a game that makes you jump and hide every time you hear the “clink clink” sound of a grenade landing near your position, this is it. This is what the edge of your sofa was made for. The graphics, smooth, textured and perfectly lit. finally appear to be one worthy of PS3. The sound, especially in surround is fantastic, this title has stopped me trading my PS3 for an XBOX 360, I was about to lose hope. Quite simply the best looking, best playing, total immersive FPS money can buy.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (PS3)


Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (PS3)

It’s the game that never should’ve worked. Normal licensed games are usually bad enough but the game of the toy of the film? Clearly the Force was with developer Traveller’s Tales though because Lego Star Wars I and II were huge critical and commercial hits that showed that not only could licensed games be good but that titles aimed at kids and the family could be just as innovative and entertaining as any other. Clearly not wishing for any of the new consoles to miss out on the fun this is a compendium of both games with a bunch of new extras thrown in on top.

Together the two games cover both the prequel and original trilogy, with each film given six separate levels of its own, one of which is vehicle based. The rest of the levels though are deceptively simple action adventures with a built-in co-operative mode that anyone can join in and leave whenever they want. The combat is simple enough that anyone can play and you never really die, leaving the most complex part of the gameplay the always cleverly designed puzzles.

For this special version of the games extra levels have been added in (including the Zam Wessell chase from Attack of the Clones) as well as new bonus missions, ten new bounty hunter missions and the ability to play any of the characters in any of the levels. Add in a new online co-op mode for the PS3 and 360 and this really is the complete saga.

Customer Review: Simple Star Wars Fun
What can i say? Not exactly a next-gen game, but well thought out and very funny. Any Star Wars fan should reap some reward from playing out key scenes from all 6 movies. Not the most challenging game in the world and hard-core gamers will clock story mode in a day or so, but like ‘Sonic’ games from the past, it’s the re-playing levels to get each one 100% completed that’ll take time.

Simple, honest family entertainment. Would reccomend especially to anyone with kids/a fettish for Star Wars.

Now just gotta wait for ‘Haze’ to be released….!!!

Customer Review: A Good Belly Laugh
Lego Star : The Complete Saga is an excellent fun game for when the freinds are around, with many mini games to keep you happy. The game fully involves a second player, but single player is fun too with loads of unlockable content and enough challenges to keep you going for a long while. To say that this game is only for children would be premature at best, its an all round game for people who enjoy a querky game, and an obvious must for Star Wars fans. Although however it is fun and querky some parts can be quite dull, however they dont last long and the story can continue with a more pleasing appeal. Some of the unlockable content is realy amuzing, such as disguise mode where all characters wear joking glasses with joking mistache attached, or giving silly hats to different characters.

In my Opinion its worth a look if only a fun game to play with mates.

Hope my review was useful

Mr J.W.Price

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (PS3) With the Hitman series already well established, Danish developer Io Interactive are not exactly masters of the family friendly game. This latest effort is their most violent and shocking yet, as you take control of reluctant mercenary Kane and his schizophrenic partner Lynch. Neither character likes the other but for the purposes of the story they have to work together in a series of violent third person shoot outs. By default you control Kane, with the computer or another player taking on the role of Lynch. As the game progress you will also be able to recruit a team of up to eight mercenaries, with your reputation determining the quality of the personnel applying for the job. Ordering your squad around is easy enough but since any of them, particularly Lynch, can have completely different objectives to you, they won’t always take orders - particularly if they’ve taken a dislike to you already - which is a real problem when you want them to administer some first aid.

Although it is much more action packed than the Hitman games, there are obviously similarities between the two games, with highly interactive environments and multiple ways to approach any problem. One particular highlight already demonstrated involves a kidnapping at a rave with Kane & Lynch firing into the air to disperse a large crowd of dancers before engaging in a brutal gun battle with security guards, as the sound and music system continues to flash and blare. If the rest of the game is just as inventive with its scenarios then Io may well keep Kane and Lynch alive for a little longer.

Hard drive now only 40 gig standard which will be to small when game streaming(like you have on PC now)etc comes into use, the developers can only use the standard built in drive sizes(no matter what size drive you may install yourself later) and 40 gig is a step backwards.
Most USB ports removed now only “Two at the front”(who wants USB ports at the front on a games console?)
No Dual shock games available (dull no feedback fighting and driving games) and no must have titles.

The Xbox 360 Elite 120 gig hard drive is a far better choice of the Two systems ESPECIALLY as its xbox 1 backward compatible and from 4th Dec you will be able to download xbox 1 games, High Definition films etc direct to hard drive, which really removes any reason to own a High definition dvd drive etc.
And the Elite has by far the biggest and best library of games(and they are all use dual shock/forced feedback)….

Customer Review: Very High Quality Entertainment. *****
I got my PS3 on launch day and Motorstorm aside this is: as said by another reviewer on amazon: The first must have title on the PS3. If you have played the PS2 ratchet and clank games then you would be forgiven for thinking that this is more of the same. Which it is and isent. This is ratchet and clank with bells, whistle’s and all that! This game looks great on a standard tv and beautiful on an HD tv. I have both types of tv; but where this game comes into its own is gameplay. Smooth and fast gameplay with puzzles and combat. I downloaded the demo of this game on the ps3‘>ps3 network and after the endless stream of rubbish that the PS3 has delivered this game not only bucks the trend but puts the trend into hospital! This game is colourful, noisy and fun. The groovetron which makes all enemies stop attacking you and dance saturday night fever style is top draw. Worth the money unlike half of the PS3 rubbish. Dont get me wrong I like the ps3‘>ps3 but sony needs to deliver now and they havent. This game is a big step in readressing the balance. READ THIS SONY and note. Save your overpriced console with some good games and please drop the price……. I know the PS3 is better than the 360 (And I have that too) but the only way to proove this is with quality games like this. Try playing oblivion on a 360 (which I have) and on a ps3‘>ps3 (which my mate has) And the ps3‘>ps3 just delivers unlike the continuous loading/slowdown of the 360 version. Buy Ratchet and clank!
Customer Review: PS3’s standout title so far
I had this on pre-order and received it on the release date. Having played it through fully twice now I can honestly say that it’s one of the most fun titles I’ve played on PS2 or PS3 in a long time. The graphics and sound do the immense power of the PS3 justice and if you’ve played any R&C games on the PS2 you’ll immediately appreciate the enormous step up in quality. The draw distance is phenomenal and the skies are busy with animals and craft. Ballistics and explosions are brilliantly realised and the water effects are second to none. There is no doubting that the developers have unlocked a colour palate untouched so far on the PS3. This is the prettiest game you will play this year. As always there are a plethora of new weapons to unlock, and the classical R&C sense of humour remains. It’s obvious that Insomnia have just been dying to unleash some of these on us for years but haven’t had the processor power to do it. When you see a room full of baddies dancing to DISCO and the flashing lights of the groovetron for the first time it’s tempting to just watch agog at how much is going on on screen and how much attention to detail there is. It’s not perfect; I’ve found it a little easy in places and the difficulty is lower than some of the previous games. There are occasional graphical glitches with bits of smashed boxes seeming to hang in mid air and the occasional monster getting stuck behind bits of landscape. You’d have to be mad to let this sort of thing detract from the sheer immense amount of fun there is to be had though. There’s tons to do, and if you’re the sort who likes to get 100% then you’ll be playing it through at least 3 times before you get all the skill points and unlock everything in the game. Buy this game, you’ll not regret it.

Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3)
In the end it will probably be to the benefit of European gamers that the PS3 was delayed, since it will give Sony the chance to put together a much more impressive line-up of launch games than greeted the console in America and Japan. Resistance was easily the best of the U.S. launch games - a first person shoot `em-up from the creators of Ratchet & Clank. The game’s story is based around an alternate version of World War II where instead of Nazis you’re facing off against the insect-like Chimera in a war torn Britain (naturally you’re playing an American though). It’s basically Call Of Duty meets Doom.

The game doesn’t use the tilt sensors of the Sixaxis controller for movement but it does demonstrate the improved build quality of the analogue sticks, which previously made first person shooters difficult on the PS2. The tilt sensors are used in a variety of secondary roles though, such as when you have to shake off a monster or if you get set on fire. Despite the faux WWII setting, most of the game’s weapons are fantastical and, as with Ratchet & Clank, are probably the highlight of the whole game. All have secondary fire modes, from grenade launchers to homing bullets. The armour piercing Auger for example, also doubles as a shield. There are also vehicle based sections, including a particularly fun ride in an almost indestructible tank.

Although the single player game is well above average, the criticism about the sometimes generic art and design are not entirely without foundation. Thankfully this is compensated by an excellent forty person online mode - a huge achievement for a launch game and a very good sign for future online PS3 games.

Customer Review: Surprisingly (For me) great
I’ve never played an fps before this, i’d tried but just never got the hang of the controls for some reason … BUT … due to the lack of very many ps3‘>ps3 games at the moment and me getting a bit bored of playing old ps2 titles on my ps3‘>ps3 I decided to give this one a blast … and what a blast it was. After quite a lot of attempts at the first level (Too many to count) I finally got the hang of the controls and got through it, as I gradually progressed through the game I found the controls coming naturally to me and enjoying the game even more. A lot of reviews i’ve read have said that this game can be infuriatingly hard at times and this is very true but this adds to the enjoyment of the game, when you finally get to the end of a particularly hard level or reach the nearest continue point there is a real sense of achievement even though probably half an hour earlier you were (Like me) throwing the controller down in a sulk and shouting to your girlfriend tnat this is impossible. Anyway just buy it and enjoy it as much as I did, even if you’re not very good at fps games this is the game to make you want to try more. I’ve asked my girlfriend to get me Call of duty 4 for christmas now and that’s down to this game being so enjoyable.
Customer Review: Not overly inventive but fantastic fun!
Theres nothing particularly original about the game but theres absolutely nothing wrong with it. It plays smoothly, doesn’t have any irritating bits and the levels develop enough to keep it exciting all the way through. I haven’t enjoyed a game this much since Super Mario Karts!

Customer Review: Don’t bother if you have Sky HD
Like other reviewers here, I could not get this to work with my Sky HD Box. No problem with the PS3 but I have had to go back to my manual, but cheaper (?25) 4-way Logik switch from Currys that works just fine with all components and does not need power. This Tri-Link Switcher unit is a COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY IF YOU HAVE SKY-HD. You have been warned !

Customer Review: No Pointing - Easy to Use - Original Product - Good Price…
I’ve given it 5 stars because i can’t think of something that I don’t like about it. This is the easiest way for someone who doesn’t know how to use a controller, to watch dvds/bluray on the ps3‘>ps3. It’s an original Sony Product so quality assured. It’s got every button that the controller has even R3& L3 should you ever need them, plus its got its dvd/bd command buttons.

My dads been watching series after series of Dallas recently and they are slightly scratched so skip on our normal dvd players, but work perfectly on the ps3‘>ps3. Now that he has the remote its easy for him to watch his dvds on it without having to get out of his lying on the sofa position because theres no pointing required (bluetooth radio signals). he can even press eject on the remote to see where the next cd needs to go!

A real necessity for true ps3‘>ps3 accessory collectors also.
Customer Review: Essential gear for the none gamer.
If gaming is your scene, and playing around with the supplied games contoller is second nature to you, then this remote control will probably be way down your ‘must have’ list.

If, however, you are like me and bought the PS3 more for playing Blu-ray and up-scaled DVDs than for the games, then having this piece of kit is just about a no-brainer. The non gamers ‘must have’.

I bet, though, that like me you will continue to point it at the Playstation even with it being Bluetooth and not I/R !!

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (PS3)?? With the Pro Evolution Soccer series renowned for its fluid, realistic gameplay, the new game builds on the implementation of Teamvision with additional key advances. As with previous releases since its inception in 1996, the ball is again treated as a separate entity, with the timing of shots entirely down to the player, while the new AI ensures that defenders work to close down space and block efforts on goal. Similarly, distribution of passes works along the same lines, with players using the space available to them to switch the ball. Close control has also been enhanced with more control when dribbling the ball, and a number of subtle moves added to bypass defenders and move the ball into space.
Customer Review: Completey fixed!!!
Although the game did suffer from lag slightly offline and massively online, the new patch which can be downloaded when starting the game has completely fixed it!! paving the way now for one of the best pro ev games if not the best, the passing is so slick and beating a defender is alot easier than recent years, the true pro ev and indeed football fans will now get to play the finest football game, one word superb!!!
Customer Review: Pro DEvolution 2008
I’ll be honest, when I first got into football games on to consoles, the first one I owned was FIFA International Soccer for the SNES. Although dated, isometric and unofficial, the game was a pretty good experience. It showed me that as long as the game was fun to play, that alone could overcome some of the game’s short comings.

I was a FIFA fanboy up until 2005 (on my Gamecube, yes, I stayed loyal to Nintendo too) when after being “forced” to play the so-called enemy, Pro Evo, I was hooked. The game lacked a licence and didn’t have the hundreds of teams FIFA offered, but instead, went for the more realistic approach to the game, it was more fluent, goals required actual skill and was an overall more satisfying experience.

I eventually gave up on FIFA and ended up for the next two years buying a second hand PS2 just to play Pro Evo 5 & 6. When the next gen consoles came along, I went with the PS3 and I eagerly awaited Pro Evo 2008. I hoped that the game would have the near-perfect of the original games with the added bonus of crisp, high-definition graphics with a better online mode.

So, come late October, Pro Evo 2008 was released, I knew it had a lot to live up to, despite turning on FIFA, I actually enjoyed FIFA 08 despite some problems but still deep down knew it would be well and truly trounced by it’s counter-part.

Sadly, my hopes came crashing down, along with mine and many others.

Pro Evo 2008 to bluntly put it, shouldn’t have been released. This isn’t just my opinion, this is a lot of people’s, including its creator, Shingo ‘Seabass’ Takatsuka who has stated the game shouldn’t of but had to be released. If that hasn’t warned you of the bashing this game will get, then this message should.

The most important part of Pro-Evo is the gameplay. The PS2’s titles although had a few ningles, we’re pretty much flawless. Although it has transcended well, a few too many bits and pieces haven’t. Controls are exactly the same as before (which is fine if you’ve played Pro Evo before, but newer players will pick it up in time too). There’s a few new features, one of which is diving, which will either cause you to jump for joy after winning a penalty, or feel like killing your system if the game does the same to you. The A.I for your opposition is alright, it still hard to score and if you make a good set piece, then chances are you weren’t lucky and you generally did a good job.

The referee however seems to be in a time warp and has gone back to the ways of Pro Evo 4, in that, he hands out cards like breaths of air. Seriously, unless you do a slide tackle from the front and win the ball, chances are, your player could be sent off. In a multiplayer game I had, I had 3 players sent off for fairly normal tackles (in Football, a contact sport, keep that in mind) whilst my friend had 4 players kicked off for similar challenges, normally straight reds. It might be Konami’s way of making sure slide-tackles are used to a minimum and discourage players from using them in the real world, but sometimes, when it’s needed and it’s a slight mistake, you’d think they’d be a bit more lenient.

Looks wise, although this is the PS3 (which has had a pretty mix card in its first year) and although it’s Pro Evo, I did expect a bit more bling for my buck. Sadly, the game just doesn’t cut it. Even on a Hi-Def TV, it still looks pretty poor. Pitches look drab, the crowd looks pretty poor (which it always did, just now, you’d expect they’d have the power to perhaps, touch it up). Some players look like their real life counter-parts, but for others, it will be a complete guessing game and it can be pretty distracting.

Speaking of distracting, how about we add a bit of lag to the experience? Yep, Pro Evo, famed for its fluency and well paced action, has now replaced it with slowdown and lag. Some stadiums are worse then others, but replays, many players on screen (e.g. corners and battles in the middle of the pitch) and online have suffered tremendously. Luckily a patch has just been released which does cure most of these problems, but online is still pretty much unplayable and the odd problem still happens offline.

Overall, Pro Evolution 2008 is the start of Konami’s venture into next-gen consoles (you could include last years since PE6 was on the Xbox 360, but since there was no PS3 or Wii versions, it’s the first game with all next-gen platforms) and it’s gone pretty downhill. Instead of just updating PE6 with fancy graphics, some new moves and an updated roster, something else happened and this is the end result. It’s done some good things, but as a whole, its a very disappointing experience and not worthy of buying (which is evident with the recent price dropping). If you want a real football experience on your console, keep PE6 and wait until next year, if your that bothered for a next gen football game, FIFA 08 is your only other option, which after this travesty, doesn’t seem that bad anymore.
