Assassin’s Creed (PS3)
Assassin’s Creed (PS3)
It’s easy to see why there was so much fighting amongst the console manufacturers to try and make this game a format exclusive. Where early launch titles may have disappointed this game not only looks like a next generation game but it plays like it too. Taken at face value the story casts you as an Arabic fighter in 1191, out to assassinate the nine Western leaders of the Third Crusade. There is more to the story than that though making it more than simple historical adventure it first seems.
Since it’s developed by many of the same team behind Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, it’s no surprise to find the game using many of the same ideas. With the bold claim that you can climb on or over anything in the game world that sticks out more than two inches, this allows incredible freedom of movement, with a style of acrobatics heavily influenced by Parkour/free running. The game also innovates in terms of combat, with each of the face buttons controlling a different area of the body, rather like a marionette. As such one button controls the feet, one your open hand, one your weapon hand and the other your head.
As an assassin stealth plays an important role in the game too, but here it’s often a case of hiding in plain sight as you mill around inside large crowds of people. Everyone will react to you realistically though, so if you go around pushing people out of the way, or even killing them, the crowd will react and report you. With stunning graphics and genuinely innovative gameplay this is destined to be one of the most important releases of the year.

Customer Review: Over-hyped, but worth playing.
Needless to say this game is very repetitive compared to those of similiar genre. Climb up a view point, complete 2-3 missions and assassinate the target. Yeah, that is the concept of the game. The environment is very beautiful and well-detailed, however, and the world is very interactive. Unfortunately the game loses much of its potential, thanks to Ubisoft’s sloppy plot design.
Moreover, the Xbox 360 version is better. It may have a slightly lower framerate, but there are no vsync issues (screen tearing, whereas PS3 version suffers from this issue, a lot.
If you don’t mind playing the most repetitive game out there for PS3, go ahead and buy it.

Avoid at all costs…
Seriously, it’s repetition city. If the games producer spent more quality time on the game instead of promoting herself we might have had something to shout about.

Spider-Man 2 [UMD Mini for PSP] [2004] 
More than a few critics hailed Spider-Man 2 as “the best superhero movie ever,” and there’s no compelling reason to argue–thanks to a bigger budget, better special effects, and a dynamic, character-driven plot, it’s a notch above Spider-Man in terms of emotional depth and rich comic-book sensibility. Ordinary People Oscar?-winner Alvin Sargent received screenplay credit, and celebrated author and comic-book expert Michael Chabon worked on the story, but it’s director Sam Raimi’s affinity for the material that brings Spidey 2 to vivid life. When a fusion experiment goes terribly wrong, a brilliant physicist (Alfred Molina) is turned into Spidey’s newest nemesis, the deranged, mechanically tentacled “Doctor Octopus,” obsessed with completing his experiment and killing Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) in the process. Even more compelling is Peter Parker’s urgent dilemma: continue his burdensome, lonely life of crime-fighting as Spider-Man, or pursue love and happiness with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst)? Molina’s outstanding as a tragic villain controlled by his own invention, and the action sequences are nothing less than breathtaking, but the real success of Spider-Man 2 is its sense of priorities. With all of Hollywood’s biggest and best toys at his disposal, Raimi and his writers stay true to the Marvel mythology, honoring Spider-Man creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, and setting the bar impressively high for the challenge of Spider-Man 3. –Jeff Shannon

HDMI Cable (PS3) Customer Review: Works for me
I have a Samsung LE32R41BD TV and this HDMI cable absolutely works fine at 720p and 1080i (I don’t have a 1080p tv).
I guess you could try changing the output type in the settings? But works fine for - Amazon wouldn’t be able to sell (let alone bundle) an HDMI cable that doesn’t support HD.
Customer Review: 4 Gamers HDMI Cable
This cable does not support 760p or 1080i with my LE32R87BDX Samsung LCD TV. It only supports 576p at first I thought my TV was not HD but on buying a Sony 1.3A HDMI CABLE I am now operating at 1080i and the PS3 Games are unreal!!!
If you have a Samsung LCD I would advise you not to buy this cable!!!
