I own a PS3 myself as there are some great exclusives (inFamous, Uncharted, LBP etc) that I must have, I just know how it gets people fired up in this thread particularly.

Anyway,
For those people here who have the Bulletstorm demo, what do you think of the game? I watched a gameplay video of the demo on YouTube and it looks pretty sick, especially when you can kick a player making it go into slow motion so you can destroy his body with bullets in mid air.

Start the flaming.

Yeah, no joke. Homeless? PS3? Ebay, man, Ebay! Sheesh, priorities.

Erm... Yeah? That doesn't conflict with what I said.

I was trying it on my old 360. By Slim I meant the new black one. The 360 S or whatever they call it.

Oh, and thanks, Slapshot, for the siggie.

So Crysis 2 finally let me in, and I gotta say it's pretty fun. Seemed to be a lot of lag, but gameplay was great otherwise. The level they chose is small horizontally, but there are enough vertical levels to make up for it.

I wanna play them demos but its ****in finals week and I need to do well. At least on the ones for tomorrow I do.

Just had some fun with the Crysis 2 demo, not too shabby but it pretty much sold me on getting the PC version. The controls felt a bit sluggish and 6V6 is quite pitiful when compared to the insane 16V16 on Crysis Wars. The visuals were great for a 360 game but I can't wait to see what it looks like on the PC version.

...oh, and jokes by their very nature should be humorous.

Sluggish... or realistic? There was yet another keyboard & mouse vs controller war on GFAQs recently. Just last night I was looking for a ME2 video on YouTube... when I found one it was the PC version and oh man, the mouse control made it look terrible. Somehow Shepard was able to flick himself 180 degrees within a nano second, his aiming appeared more like teleportation than actually moving a pair of human arms due to the unrealistically fast and accurate mouse control and it just made the movement look really weird and incredibly fake.

I'm quite sure Crysis sells itself as more of an arcade shooter rather than a realistic one. The ME2 PC controls were fine, as long as you have a high sensitivity mouse you'll always be turning really fast in any game.

Anyway, I always prefer using a mouse to aim but that's just me. Maybe it didn't have enough aim assist as I would have liked. I love the new mechanics though like the ability to jump over most things and even the slide which gave me a small taste of Brink.

Hi, I recently got an Xbox 360 slim and I am just wondering whether the shelf I put it on will give it enough ventilation to run properly.

I usually play no more than 3 hours at a time, and at these times, the air around the xbox 360 is warm, but not hot.

So far I haven't gotten any overheating errors and the only freezes I've experienced are the occasional frame rate stutters while playing games.
, but I dont want to risk having anything bad happen

It does look a little crammed in there, and I know if it wasn't a Slim, it wouldn't have enough ventilation.
So if you want to be really safe, I'd say put it on top of the unit; but to be honest if it's not giving any overheating errors then you should be fine.
