just thought I'd create a home for us gamers who might try other gaming distractions in-between x-planing. Could be an exciting year, what with Gran Turismo 5 coming out (1000 cars!!) and now this....

I can remember the feeling when Wolfenstein came out, a momentous event, a 'game-changer'. same with Doom, Half Life and Gran Turismo 1. a big revolution.

Now I just played this on the iPhone 3GS. so smooth, so beautiful, another memorable first play, to herald this yrs game changer

The only reason I bought a PS3 was so my girlfriend and I could game together. She's already been playing Little Big Planet for a year, so I got it too. And now we have Tekken to beat the crap out of each other instead of taking it to the physical level... ;D

And after seeing

, I'm looking forward to the future of God games. :D

As for existing games I play now in-between X-Plane scenery development and work, you'll find titles like Tropico 3, Locomotion, Settlers 7, GTA IV and first person shooters like Battlefield Bad Company 2 and CoD:Modern Warfare 2. :)

Looks like an amazing game that From Dust. Ha, I think I'm almost 20 yrs older than you Ola, and you're going through all the game types I went through 10 yrs ago. I loved the first GTA for PS2, I once made a buddy walk out because I was a little trigger happy with the sniper rifle & headshots! Good strategy with the partner, involve her so you can get in some good gaming.

I haven't bought a PS3 game for 18 months, except for one for the 4yo first officer. I'm using the ps3 as a bluray player, HD recorder and web surfing. But when GT5 comes out, it'll get hot again.

Im gonna buy a playstation 3 purely to crash cars virtually after looking at that.

thought someone would say that, pretty impressive eh! I'm gonna dust off my ps3 controllers in a few months when it goes platinum and half price  ;D Forums say it's not as perfect handling wise as the imagery, but who cares. My old pastime of 'let's see what happens when I drive in the opposite direction' has new meaning now!

as for Granturismo 5 , I'll get that on day 1

The Best Wife in the World just got me F1 2010 for PS3. ;D

Graphics are incredible, gobsmacking dare I say, watch me crash as I drool over the most faithful reproduction of the Melbourne Grand Prix circuit I've ever seen.

It's a good example of eyecandy vs. realism. It's not a full sim (I think, I'm a bit rusty on the old F1 driving experience), but deep enough to be a challenge, with the fluidity and details enough to make you feel like you're really there (sans G Forces, sheer adranaline/terror and potential death at every turn..). Watch the line markings speed up/down in the replays, it's a good sign of a smoothly drawn sim

Pretty cool app Simon!

But I guess it's only useful for a more artistical approach to modelling, like modelling humans and organic shapes. Accuracy is probably not its biggest selling point, making it nearly impossible to model a building or an airplane accurately, but I might be wrong?

I'm going crazy waiting for Gran Turismo 5 to be released on Thursday (wed in the u.s.).

I know there are a few ps3 fans here, so hope u dont mind me posting- Just saw this vid of the lighting, skip to 5.40 to see some very special effects. I'll leave it to you to discover  :)
