PS3 Games / Movies: 2010/ 2011
List of movies, old and new watched sometime in the past 2 years. Most of these movies I have watched more than once. Guess this is what I do when I have too much of idle time. I’m planning to start writing reviews on the games I play than the movies I watch. You could say that I have become even lazier, as a movie review will eat up a lot of my time considering that I watch about 4 -5 movies during the week and about 6-8 movies during the weekends. So the movie tally is about a 10 – 13 movies in about 7 days.
In comparison, I would play about 2 – 3 games in a month. Hmm, I think reviewing games will be much more time consuming though the quantity is less; I’ll need to cover a lot of aspects for a game review. I think it’s going to be a tough ask on me.
As of now I own 24 PS3 games which will be augmented by another 6 games. The below mentioned games will be in my possession by March 20th or so:
1. Timeshift
2. Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit
3. IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey
4. Army of Two
5. Madden NFL 09
6. EA Sports MMA
The other games I have played or still playing are as below. These are all PS3 games, so a person who owns or is aware of PS3 game cost will know the kind of investment I have made J
1 Warhawk: Flight simulation: Only Online play. People who enjoy online gaming will enjoy this one. However it’ll take quite some time to learn the maps and the strategy. Though there are only 5 maps that comes with the game. You can pay extra to get another 3 maps.
2. Batman: Arkham Asylum: I have the Game of the year edition (3D version), which is really awesome. I had played the normal version and it’s bland compared to the 3D Game of the Year Edition. Whether you like Batman or not, if you have a PS3 better play this game.
3. Call of Duty: Black Ops
4. GTA 4
5. Red Dead Redemption
6. Smackdown vs Raw 2009
7. Ashes Cricket 2009
8. Killzone 2
9. God of War 3
10. Burnout Paradise
11. Battlefield - Bad Company
12. Uncharted

Let me talk about the setup I have at home for this:
TV: 42” LCD TV – LG LSH50 : Connected through HDMI.
· I bought this TV about 1 year back for the sole reason that it has a TruMotion 200Hz which is good for gaming.
· Not that I know or find any difference, given this is the only LCD TV where I am playing PS3 games.
· Given the number of games that have 3D content these days, might have to upgrade in the coming months to 3D LED TV soon.
Speakers: 5.1 Dolby Digital / THX Certified System: Logitech Z5500: Connected via Optical cable.
· Surround Sound at its best. Best utilized for games like Killzone 2 / Black Ops / God of War etc.
Internet: 1MB DSL Connection: Airtel: PS3 is connected wirelessly to the network.
· Pretty decent connection
· Since this is wireless there are issues of latency at times.
Apart from this the PS3 is connected wirelessly to a 2 TB NAS through which I can stream movies, music etc. Just because I have this option doesn’t mean I utilize it J
Blu-ray Discs: Movies I own in Blu-ray discs
1. Dark Knight
2. 300 – If you haven’t watched this movie, kindly do so. Just ensure you watch a Blu-Ray print in a TV that supports HD.
3. Spiderman 3
4. Shooter
5. Avatar
6. Bachna Ae-Haseeno : Hindi movie, got this BR disc for about 600 INR J Now you know why I bought this.
The following Blu-Ray’s will be at my possession by March 20, 2011:
7. Batman Begins
8. Crank
9. Crank 2
