AFAIK only 1 game actually runs at 1080p natively (Gt5).
But regardless of which they ALL should output to that resolution by upscaling without any problem.. cod4 might be an exception, it'll say in the manual of the game if there's anything specific.
My advice though, dont bother.
Running any game in 1080p (Even if it's just upscaling) is going to nuke the framerate.
And seriously, the difference isnt noticable unless you have a REALLY big tv.
I have a 42 inch 1080p tv on my desk at work.. I sit about 2 foot away from it.. And swap between the 2 resolutions all the time.. It makes booger all difference to me, and even trained artists struggle to notice any real difference (apart from the framerate)

Wii Fit hurts! I'm not sure about it yet, but I've been exercising for 12 months now, and I'm struggling with the 'game'. Having a very bad knee and bad back probably doesn't help though :lol:
However, the Ski Jump game is absolutely superb! Seriously, seriously good. Not worth £70, but awesome anyway!

Just a quick not to anyone having problems with gta4 freezing or not loading right we got a solution at work today untill the patch is relised for it, IF at any point it does ether of the above things just sign out of playstation network or microsoft network whichever your on just as long as your not online and then start the game do 1 mission then save the game and next time you load the game it should be fine loading and no freezing. Rockstar do know about the problem its got something to do with the online mode holding to much ram Im not sure what there on about but thats the report we got at work and they are working to relise a patch sometime this week for it so dont panic lol

Plod made me get yahtzee's games.
so far I've only done 5 Days a Stranger and currently going through & 7 Days a skeptic.
I have to say are good games do like them. However they aren't as good as some other One man games I've played (which I will now called Doujin since thats there name). still the best doujin game I've played is Imperishable Night <3
Try them. the stories are quite good.

TBH, it was always going to happen.
But I don't see what there is to get excited about... because any decent games developers were already signed onto the PS3...
IMO the more sales the PS3 gets, the more ****e develepors it attracts, which makes it harder to search for games in the pre-owned section :lol:

That makes no sense what-so-ever.
But yeah.. The ps3 was always going to eventually outsell the 360.. especially in europe which has the "bling" market (i.e. consumers who'll buy things based purely on how expensive they are), Europe is the only market where the psp does well for instance.
I cant see it attracting many more developers the ps3 is expensive to develop for - so it stands to reason you'd only bring out games which were expensive to make on it. And just because there's more ps3's out there doesnt mean all the owners are buying games for it (bare in mind the ps3 is a cheap bluray player). The 360 STILL has the highest attach rating (i.e. number of games sold per console sold) of all three of the consoles (and THAT's the number games publishers will be interested in).
So not much will change at all. I do expect a new slimmer ps3 to be announced soon.. and i do expect the next xbox to be announced by the end of the year.
But as long as they both have good games.. who cares? I'm not a share holder in either of them - i care nothing about which one sells the most.. and neither should you :lol:
As for the games ratings.. to me that's a good thing.. The only negative side to it might be that it MIGHT mean that independent game developers have to get their games rated before release (which may cost them out the market)..
Come on, the PS2 was so damn popular the amount of ****e that got attatched to it was unreal... look in the pre-owned section of PS2.. hell even the new section, its just full of utter ****e... develepors kits will drop price soon enough too (despite them halving the price a few months back!)
YAWN.
YAWN.

It's going to be across the board though. The BBFC only get involved in games every once in a while (I remember the first time they dabbled, and Frankenstein got a 15 rating, Jack the Ripper an 18 - both on ZX Spectrum :lol: ).
It's just games that they feel will have a dramatic effect on the people who play them, so should have a legal rating to buy them.
At the moment there's the ESRB system which is a voluntary system in essence. They provide guidelines for parents as to what the game is going to be like. The government are changing this though so that every game gets a rating like a film does. It would then be illegal to give a 12 game to a ten year old... Or have them play it... Or watch it... Or, erm, not entirely sure how it would work :lol:
I think it's a good idea to stop kids from buying any old game, it may even raise awareness, but in all honesty, I doubt it will make any difference at all.
my mate is under the impression that you are an idiot for believing that, due to it being released by sony. He says anything that the PS3 does is rubbish. He's just a 360 fan boy.Coaster Ollie said:

My friends a 360 Fanboy as well. All I have to say to him is...
(this was said in January)
Me: "The 360 keeps on freezing so it not worth it"
Friend: "It's only frozen twice though"
Me: "Yes, but when did you get it?"
Friend: "Christmas"
:lol:
And the PS3 has being outselling the 360 since october/november anyway.
I prefer the PS3 games as well, becasue they get better system only games.
There are lots of games that I want as they all look great (apart from a few).
With the 360 I have to look through piles and piles of crap games such as (viva la piniata, and virtual farm ect).
I own both consoles, and all the 360 has done so far is piss me off.
PS3 has always run better as Sony always make sure that their equipment is top quality.

it doesnt matter jot.. all 3 machines have good and bad points.. And kids are always going to get passionate about the one that they bought (especially if they can only afford one machine).
As for age ratings. The new ruling is that every game has to go through the bbfc as opposed to through elspa.
This probably wont effect gamers one little bit, but publishers will now have to pay to go through the bbfc, and if they suddenly get an influx of games it could slow down how long it takes for the games to hit store shelves in the uk.
but it's mainly political bull crap to make it look like they're doing something when really nothing changes.
It currently seems to be the thing most politicians are chasing to gain votes (making out all games are evil and proclaiming what they're doing to stop these EVIL things harming the kids).
It's no different from the "video nasties" of the 80's imho.
The average age of a gamer currently is 30 - most people under 40 have played a game. Average politician age is 50. They're scared, they dont understand it all. Give it another 10 years and all this crap will blow over..
