Starhawk........Playstation 3 Exclusive ?

Comes out Friday

Any playstation users interested as by all accounts the beta was very interesting and the game plays pretty decent.

Actually its a follow up to Warhawk only about 3 years later

Not my cup of tea thanks

Loved Warhawk, but it could become a real lagfest at times so got fed up quite quickly.

I expect this would be the same for me.

ign.com review

Looks good but a bit complicated for me maybe. Love the setting and the scenery, this kind of game would really have appealed if I was a kid with a PS3. I had more patience when I was young.

Will you be taking a punt T2D?

Hiya Spook........You resurfaced my friend .........In for a penny in for a pound thats my moto and because of the game drought i may well take a punt on this game.

No need really as i have just finished Prototype 2 [loved it] and we have max in just under 2 weeks and Ghost future soldier a week later.

But you know me I'm more than likely going to get it

Hey mate. Yeah, I am back online. Went away for a few days.

How was your trip to Italy? You have a nice time there?

So, you've played Prototype 2 all the way through already? That's dedication! Did you play Warhawk at all?

Been reading that Starhawk will have a co-op mode and wondered if you and mrnelstar were thinking of teaming up for it. Not sure about the dropping bases all over the place thing but the game looks interesting at least.

Played Prototype 2 non stop and actually finished it last night.i now have the option to play a new game called believe it or not New game Plus.

Which is basically the story all over but with all my super powers i have accumulated.

Having looked at the ign.com review video of Starhawk which by all accounts said it was brilliant i kind of thought to myself do i really want this game and will i be bothering a week later when more to my liking in Max Payne 3 ships and the answer is NO.

So this morning i cancelled my shopto.net pre/order and got sensible for once,i did play warhawk and to be honest i was not a great lover of that game.

I think Starhawk would have kept me interested for a few days but seriously i could not see me actually playing this online much and so i made the decision not to bother.

Italy was brilliant and the weather was really hot and sunny and all went well,went to the island of Capri which is very nice if your a multi millionaire which i aint .

If your into armani and Gucci jackets at 3000 euros and Prada Handbags and all that over priced designers label stuff then your in your element,if like me your not that into clothes but more on the electronic scene then its well boring.

A nice Capacinino and cup of tea on Sorrento is about 5 euro,take a trip to Capri return 60 euro each 3 mile journey and they double the price and a little more say 12 euro.

Its a tourist hotspot but nothing special

Hehe. Yeah, who needs designer handbags when you've got um, maplins! Never could see the attraction of designer clothing myself really. It's just an expensive badge that tells everyone what a snob you are and that you're the kind of person who'll pay extra for nothing but bs hype.

Well, Italy (or parts of) can be quite beautiful. Shame about the people though! Well, not all of them are arrogant and rude but y'know, there's a few more of those sort than over here I felt. Or maybe it's just in Rome and Brindisi... I seem to be remember having learnt 'Excusez' and Italian etiquette pretty quickly on arrival to Rome (just say excusez and shove people out of the way).

Never spent a single euro, that's how well travelled I am. (Not been back to 'Eurpoe' since it was introduced.) Italy still had the whatever they had when I went. Would be nice to go back. I'd have to try and smarten my appearance up a bit as they had a habit of looking down at me and disapproving of my general appearance the last time I was there. Wearing some smart gear might help gain some respect but not much I reckon. Being (poor) English abroad means you're in between dog status and that of a tramp in my experience but that could just be me... I do look a bit of a trampy dog I suppose.

Funny you say that because even though i like to dress nice and trendy.......Crombie ,levi stay press,loffers i got them all...........Lol

I suppose when i look at it the Italians are quite rude but there were a few waiters that were really polite and friendly.

The town is really nice Sorrento but they have what i call a Bike problem,24 hours thats all you here is Italian Nutters driving around 24/7 on vespa mopeds.

Saying that if you saw some of the coastal roads we travelled on from the naples airport to get here [70 min journey] you would understand why they use them.

There is not one single car that i saw that had not got some major crash damage,dent or scratch on it because them Italians drive like nobody i have ever seen before.

Even a taxi driver was about 2 inch from the person in front back bumper,that close i could smell his cheese sandwich .......Absolute nutters !!!

I saw some amazing things like dogs [big dogs like German shephards been driven around sitting on the base of these Vespa.........Not strapped in just basically sitting on these bikes as they drive around the town streets.

Also there are many stray dogs that bark continually throughout the night,not a place to retire to for a nice spot of piece and tranquillity thats for sure.

Its a lovely town and i enjoyed it for the 4 days i spent there,but when i eventually retire to my bed at night i like quiet and this is not the place to be even though i was up in the hills in a lovely hotel a mile from the town.

That close? Haha. Along with, "an arrow in the knee" that has to be a new classic quote. So close I could smell his cheese sandwich. Haha.

Having been to Rome, I totally agree about Italians and driving. Over there, red stop lights are advisory and pedestrians cross at their peril. Also, loads of scooters, like you say. I heard some pretty horrific stories about some of the unfortunate helmet-less vespa riders hitting the kerb head first and splattering their brains all over the pavement. Not a pretty sight. Although I'd love to ride a scooter without the encumberance of a skid lid, it kinda put me off!

So you sound like you're quite a trendy old git. What's a crombie btw? See how fashionable I am? Oh, I just googled it. Some kind of swanky brand? I'll stick to my marks & sparks fat boy jeans and cheapo top man sweaters.

Crombie was a black 3 quarter length coat from the seventies in which most people that wore them had a red hanky sticking out of the top pocket [kind of pointed]

I like nice clothes Spook yes but i would not spend £500 on a pair of shoes,New Console YES

Yeah and like you say .........Zebra Crossing for example dont seem to have the same meaning as over here,you can wait at one for ages as nobody stops and even when your on them they go whizzing past.

Police also are so laid back its unreal,you see them get out of cars enter cafe and come out with fags in there mouth,may be the laid back attitude is better as i never saw a single bit of trouble over there in such a crowded place.

Hey, thanks for the history lesson in fashion, granddad! Hehe. I'm guessing that Crombies weren't for rock 'n' rollers so much as mods then?

Nice clothes are good, yes. Personally I tend to sacrifice other things (like good food and everything else) for gadgets. I was actually going to try and change my priorities for this year and smarten myself up a little bit but to do that, you gotta buy clothes. And I hate shopping for clothes! With a passion.

I wonder when clothes retailers will get round to using tech (like web cams and 3D modelling) to size people up properly in the comfort and privacy of their own homes and that way, people like me could just order stuff knowing the size would be all right and job done? I guess you'd need something like the kinect technology but that is becoming far more widespread now isn't it? They'll all be building it into our TVs for sure. Apple will get their first prolly.

Anyhoo, I digress. Italian police, eh? Sound like a right bunch of wasters don't they? Good on 'em. I wish we Brits were a lot less stuffy about things and more easy going when it comes to politeness and etiquette and so on. I want to drive my (metaphorical & totally imaginary) car the wrong way up a one way street and shove old grannies out of my way in the post office queue! Right on! Who needs rules?

I guess Crombies would be associated with the mod era,Guess what i was a new romantic also and had my head coloured jet black with a streak of red in it just like Gary Numen........

Sadly the new romantic era only lasted about 18 months and i can see myself now with Red Pixie boots,big pleated Cossack looking trousers that were like drain pipes at the bottom tucked into my boots but massive at the top,pirate type shirt with loads of pleats in it,sash around the trousers ........Those were the days matey

Yar! Them were the days.

Stand and deliver! Your money or your life.

Blimey, that was a bit anarchic!

And the only reason you don't understand our music, is that you don't like it!
