Sure, the control-wise is subjective because I just happen to much prefer the 360 controller to the PS3 controller.
But it's pretty well-known that the PS3's hardware, while more powerful than the 360, also makes it very hard to port over games that look and work great on the 360.
For a recent example, look at the difference in the quality of the texture-work and sharpness of edges in "Batman: Arkham Asylum" between the 360 and the PS3. The 360 has finely detailed texturing, smooth edges (occasional tearing on both systems) and a cleaner look, not to mention more dynamic lighting effects. Many of the surface textures on the PS3 look a little blocky and blurry. I mean, it's nothing where I'd say "the 360 is MUCH better looking than the PS3", but it's enough that it's noticeable and I think worthy of mention...

The only time in the game where the PS3's superior power is apparent is in the cut scenes, which look a little crisper...

"Batman: Arkham Asylum" is a poor example when looking at my argument on the online stuff is better on 360, because there are a couple of features that PS3 owners get which 360 owners don't (a Joker challenge map, for instance). But I don't think it's a stretch at all to say that the 360's online play is much better than that of the PS3. A better selection of exclusive games available for download, and there are just more people online.
all of those examples look almost exactly the same to me (well except for the second where one is obviously lighter than the other). as for online stuff, you get what you pay for. me myself i really don't care for online play at all and hate that developers are ditching offline co-op for it
and control is definitely a preference thing. obviously i'm gonna prefer the ps3 controller because i've been using the dualshock since the ps1 days
like just hearing that uncharted 2 has multiplayer co-op and no splitscreen annoys the heck out of me
is it really that hard to do?
I'll take my PS3 over the XBOX360 any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
I am not a fan of online pay, and if I had to pay for it, there is no way in hell I would even consider online play.

The DualShock is one of the crowning achievements of the twentieth century.

I've tried very hard, but I just cannot get into Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. It's the gameplay mostly, because all the characters feel like wooden puppets. It just doesn't feel right. And the neutered fatalities are lame too.
I'm also playing Muramasa: The Demon Blade on the Wii and I have to say I really love this game. It is one of the best looking games out there I think and Wii-owners should check it out.
This morning I picked up Ghost Squad too for some more lightgun action.
DJ Hero will allow you to play as either Daft Punk.
Must... resist...
If you pull that one off, then you are a better man than me.Quote:

In defense of PS3, I like the XBox controller, but the sixaxis has it beat, 1) because I've been playing with it since the mid 90s and 2) it has that tilt stuff. And as I said, most of the games I'd be interested in playing on the PS3 are the ones I can't play on the XBox. If a game comes out that's available on both, plenty of sites have side-by-side comparisons to help folks decide which console they would want to buy it for.

IGN, GameSpot and a few others frequently do side-by-side comparisons, especially for major releases like "Batman: Arkham Asylum" and "Fallout 3".
9 times out of 10, the 360 release is the final recommendation.
Tgraphical difference alone in "Fallout 3" between the 360 and PS3 is quite staggering. On the PS3 it's actually pretty ugly.
I played the trial version of Turtles In Time: RS today. Seems like a compulsively playable game and I kind of want the full version now... but I feel like there must be a way to get a redeemable code or points for free so I don't want to shell out the admittedly meager sum just yet.
Sixaxis sucks. Dualshock 3, on the other hand...Quote:

uncharted sure was a fun game, and i'd have no problem calling it one of my favorite games of all time. naughty dog can pretty much do no wrong in my eyes. from the crash bandicoot trilogy (and crash team racing) to the jak trilogy (and jak x) and now the uncharted series. i can't wait for october 13th
I had no idea there is so much controversy over "Left 4 Dead 2".
Half an hour into Far Cry 2 and I'm bored off my ass. The past games I've played - R6:Vegas, Resistance 2, Shadow Complex, Dead Space, Killzone 2 - maintained such a high-pitched level of intensity that this feels comatose by comparison.
Graphics look murky. Far Cry, which I was lucky to play on a PC at 1600 x 1200 resolution, positively jumped out of the screen with striking, pin-sharp visuals.
Just found out Silent Hill is up for download on the PSN for $5.99. I've been dying to replay that for a while now. I'm currently about 12 hours into Suikoden (I'm gonna try and get all 108 stars).
Why is no one talking about "Borderlands"?
Most anticipated game of the season, for me.
What controversy?Quote:
