Spook-Tooth hasn't been on his PS3 for 11 days either
Maybe they've eloped ??

Dunno about the other two but I've been busy with Bioshock Infinite on the PC, the superior gaming system.

I'm using Windows 7 too as I agree, Windows 8 is just nasty. I bought the Windows 8 upgrade when MS were selling it cheap but never got around to installing it. Too afraid to. I hear Windows 9 might be released in the not too distant future so might be best to skip it?

One of the problems with the ideal of retro-fitting Windows is the cost of legitimate retail copies and the hassle of using OEMs and having to re-activate the license everytime you change hardware configuration and clean install. Proper pain that is. I'm fortunate to have retail Win 7 and strangely haven't performed a fresh install for years whereby I used to clean install all the time on XP. That's largely down to the type of hardware I've upgraded and the fact hardware requirements haven't come on much since around 2007 I'd say. I'm using SSDs so that might also play a role. Biggest difference is I'm no longer overclocking and tweaking things I guess.

Since I deleted my game saves on PS3 I've been reluctant to go back in to GTA V plus the evidence is strongly suggestive that GTA V is coming to the PC in late April this year (Amazon.de). It'll probably get delayed though and no doubt it'll launch with loads of bugs like GTA 4. So that's why I've been quiet on the PS as I've got to start all over again and I've gone back on the PC but I'll be revisiting the PS3 soon.

A little rant to explain my gaming apathy: In some ways I am not that impressed with game graphics these days. I think they've hardly come on since Crysis was originally launched on PC way back in late 2007. Rather like the world economy, it seems the graphics industry has been in something of a recession as we're no further along now than we were then in absolute terms it feels to me. Where's the photo-realism at eh? We see lovely looking trailers like the new Elder Scrolls Online animations but the actual gameplay graphics look barely improved from Oblivion (March 2006). I know tech progress in games has included things like improved physics and destructible objects and terrain as well as optical effects like blur, dof, and other lighting effects but how about some improved textures? I'm fed up with playing cartoons.

Come on Bethesda you can do better than nice glossy marketing trailers. And they want people to pay £8 a month too? Must be mad.

Great return and i totally agree . using the excuse of the last gen console holding things back has gone .

being honest intell have not exactly been breaking boundaries at the moment not that much in it from a i5 2500k and a i5 4670k . its been incremental increases the i5 2500 still works just fine .

And AMD are still using the same socket and chipset that still does not have the new PCIE 3.0

And as for AMD and Nvidia rebranding old products to look like new ones , just about proves it .

Let us be the judge of that, for you need to post some piccies of her

Forget about single player there are some great missions online in GTA

Haha check out project voyeur

Noooooo! As good as GTA Online may be (still not played any more =/ ) the single player is also excellent and one of the best games of the generation and so is a must play

Well we should see some big leaps forward in graphics before long now that the new generation of consoles have launched. Developers have achieved amazing things with games like GTA V on old hardware so just think what they will be able to do with the new gen.

How about giving TLOU a go on the PS3 next ?

I agree SP is excellent but playing missions with friends is even better

I need to restart my SP from 23% (deleted all the other saves) as I got the bug on one mission where you can't select Micheal again
