Anyone heard the new Guns "n" Roses album yet?

I havent got or heard the album yet but from what I heard in the press the band were saying that it had a kind of Queen sound to it (Brian May even played on a couple of songs - which were then scrapped)

I have heard the new single though and rather than Queen I thought it sounded more like the Smashing Pumpkins

Sooo, you want it the same but more varied?

Huh?

The same as in the game play of the climbing and the freedom of the place - that I liked. I even liked the combat in it. The variation needs to change in the repetitiveness of the missions - e.g. having to pickpoket in every city your in. Its like playing the first level of sonic the hedgehog over and over and then the credits come up.

If you have played the game through you must know where I am coming from?

Better late than never but I've been playing Assassins Creed the last few days. What an amazing game. I've almost beaten it so I'm not sure how it all pans out but I never get tired of those views and leaps of faith from the tops of the viewpoints. Really great stuff.

Yeah I loved it too but the thing that really REALLY lets it down is the repetitive nature of each city that you have to goto. By the time I was on the last one I was nearly in tears that I had to pickpocket someone for the 500th time.

Its part of a trilogy so hopefully they will listen to the users and make it pretty much the same thing but with more variety in the missions next time.

Not exactly a new game but one I have been looking forward to is Super Street Fighter II HD which I believe will be on the PS3 Store next Tuesday and 360 one on Wednesday (its been brought forward due to Thanksgiving)

Ah yes you are correct. No idea when the third one is coming out but you might want to download the Tom Clancy: End War demo from the store - that should keep you going for a bit - not exactly a team based FPS like Ghost Recon I know but its worth a look.

sorry if its been mentioned but is there any info on ghost recon 3 for ps3.eg when its released thanx

i am pretty sure its been out for about a year.

you should be able to download the demo from the store

Oh and if Fallout 3 is like Oblivion - I am so there!

(Which I am sure will not surprise you, Cocker!)

I thought you might be

I read that we are to get the Mirrors Edge Demo this week. I am interested to see how this one plays so will be worth a look.

For those that don't know about it:-

Cheers for the write up. I am a total sucker for a nice graphic so will no doubt be buying this in the coming weeks

I would be very interested in your thoughts on this when you play it. Its the next one I am thinking of getting.

Has anyone had a go on Farcry2 yet? Just wondering how it plays because it looks great.

Saints Row 2 £16.

This may be a mis-price.

I'm not that fussed about it so I'll not order it in case they charge the £49.99 for a game I'm not bothered about, but I thought it might be a good spot for you who do play Saints Row.

Wow, that really does have to be a miss price. I don't want to waste my time on this one at all so think I will order it and then get it traded right away - should get £25 on a trade I think.

Yeah I know what you are all saying about bioshock and will probably give the demo a couple of more goes - the plan being not to kill anything straight away and let the monster jump around for a bit to see how bad it really is.

Had a bash at the latest round of demo's that have been put up on the store:-

Bioshock

Obviously not a new game for 360 owners but new for us PS3 guys. Wow, it looks and plays really well. After playing the short demo and watching the weapons trailer at the end it looks like they have worked hard in combining the magic weapons with the guns/hand helds. Unfortunately I wont be buying the end game as I am a big girls blows and only just got through the demo without crying - I can handle horror movies fine but make me play a game horror and I turn to jelly.

Brothers in Arms

It looks ok, the cinematics all seem to run with the in game engine - which makes a change from devs dressing up their games. Not sure its works that well for me though. I was stood next to one of the enemy shooting away at him and he just wouldn't go down - until one of my crew popped up and shot him??? They also seem to really push the cover system so much that it looks like you may be hiding for most of the game and just ordering your men to sort things out from afar. Think I will wait for Resistance 2 for my next shooter fix.

Grrreat, Street fighter will be back in 2009, check out the video here:

Before that Street Fighter HD will be out to download from the stores this year - hopefully

To add more to Kamys excellent info about resistance here are some vids:

(The only thing that I think I will miss is a cover system)

On the subject of shopto, my mate bought GTA from them and when last week tried to trade it in. There was a sticker over the bar code which they need to scan and when they removed the sticker it said 'Not For Resale' under it so he couldn't trade it in. Given that I play and finish all of my games and then trade I am a bit worried about buying from them now

Thanks for the write up there Kamy

I must admit that I just havent been able to get myself excited about LBP. I understand what it can do and think it will be a great advert in moving the PS3 forward but I don't think I can be bothered messing around creating levels (I do know that there are 50 to play with already but still) Hopefully there may be some sort of demo to change my mind.

About Fallout 3 - is it really like Oblivion but with guns?

Really like the sound of Resistance 2 though - the only downside to it that I can see is that it got Killzone 2 bumped to next year because they didn't want both games to go up against each other - definite purchase for me this one.

Motorstorm 2 - was anything mentioned about how many tracks it will have? This was my only problem with the first one that there was only about 5 tracks (before they started charging you for more) If I am going to spend £50 on a game I want more than 5 tracks to burn around.

Last one - was anything mentioned about when the Store is going to get Street Fighter HD? Old school I know but I just love it.

New Oasis album has leaked. I'm sure we'll soon see people's opinions on it.

Well I have now heard all of it and I can say I am well impressed. There are some very good tunes on there and surprisingly one of my favorites on there is a liam penned one 'I'm outta time' Very Lennony and I already know people will be lining up to give stick about it but it really is a good song.

I know many people who before even putting on a track from the album will just say "Pah, Oasis, no chance they are rubbish" well their loss I say because they will be missing out on a treat.

I will be getting the special edition one when it comes out with the extra tracks - cant wait.

Last week they went to new york and rounded up a load of busker's and gave them the new album to go through. They all later went to the under ground and the busker's sang through the songs in their own unique way. I guess this maybe where the leak came from.

On the subject of mercs 2 - the demo is up to try - just downloading now.

WOOOOOOOOOWHOOOOWAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHEYYYYYYYYYYY!

Just 50 days to go until Gear 2 is released. THE game release of 2008!

Read it and weep you PS3 suckahs!

I am a PS3 owner and I have said it before that this is the only game that I would want from the 360 to grace the PS3.

Very Jealous that its an exclusive - enjoy though

I got to hear a clip from every track on the new Oasis album yesterday. Sounds very interesting indeed. Not one tune really sounds like a single or radio friendly as far as I can tell - and thats not a bad thing.

Cant wait to get the full version.
