A high pile of games arrived at my desk today as the October release madness continues, including all of this week’s releases, the Borderlands Game of the Year Edition and, mysteriously, another copy of GTA IV. It has left me with a compelling dilemma for this evening: Vanquish or Fallout: New Vegas? What would you go for? Here’s your recap.

i went for vegas over my better judgement. bethesda can’t make games for the PS3 at all.
look at fallout 3 it’s still got major slowdown and they won’t fix it.
not sure if everyone else has a problem with vegas but mine like frezzes for a second while i’m walking about the wasteland.extremely annoying.
i was going to go for vanquish but at 4 hours long it’s a rental or a bargain bin title.

Vanquish all day, I only became aware of this game after the demo, but have fallen head over heals for it, fast paced hardcore action. Fall Out just doesn’t do it for me.

I played Vanquish for a while but then I got too tempted to see what Fallout is like and, 12 hours later, I’m still finding out.

Neither but if I had to choose then probably Vanquish cos I just cannot stand Fallout at all.

“mysteriously, another copy of GTA IV.”
James! What do you mean here? Do you just get sent games and R* sent you GTA IV or it just ended up on your desk by itself?
Just wondering because if it’s the former is this a subtle hint at some Grand Theft Auto news?

Vanquish. no bugs.
James can you tell us anything about the ghost of sparta pre-order in EU (are we getting one, collectors edition)
Posted on 24 October, 2010 at 2:38 pm by James Gallagher
I’ve not seen one yet but I’d consider it likely there will be one. I’ll ask Richard Yap, The product manager, on Monday.

@Saber_IV : Rockstar is releasing another GTA IV pack, the ‘complete edition’ which is the original + DLC on one disk.

Any news on Birth by Sleep coming to the Store? I really want to play it
Could you bug Square-Enix about it James?
Posted on 24 October, 2010 at 2:43 pm by James Gallagher
No news on that front, I’m afraid.

James, what about the Fallout 3 DLC for PL PS+ subscribers? It’s been 9 days already, 2nd batch arrived for other countries. What’s the progress on the story? We’re all still waiting for an update.
Posted on 24 October, 2010 at 2:40 pm by James Gallagher
I’ve been inquiring about it but nobody has come back to me with anything definitive yet. It not being originally released in Poland makes it a complicated issue, which is why it’s taking a little while to resolve.

@9
What do you think? If it originally wasn’t released in your country it obviously won’t magically appear with a discount
11

@ wbrinkman
Where have you heard that?
Rockstar haven’t posted any news about a GTA IV ‘complete edition’ on their website.
Are you sure that you don’t mean the RDR ‘complete edition’ (the full game and all DLC on one disc) that was
just announced?

Amazon slipped it, R* themselves are tightlipped as ever.

Has anybody received the Killzone 3 beta invite yet? I’m sure I was one of the 10.000 who got in?

I’m really enjoying Fallout 3 right now. So I would go for Fallout Vegas (I’m not that much of shooter-only fan
).

Hi James,
I have a few questions for you,
1. Will the RDR nightmare pack be out Tuesday or Wednesday.
2. I would love to see the Tales of Monkey Island on PS+ any chances of it happening?
3. Would it be possible to get a discount on the new Back to the Future game when the pre-orders start?
Posted on 25 October, 2010 at 9:52 am by James Gallagher
1. Tuesday.
No idea on the others because I just work on this blog and don’t have any say or visibility on what’s happening with PS Plus.

Posted on 25 October, 2010 at 9:42 am by extermin8or
RDR nightmare pack’s out Tuesday according to rockstar site, all the others were on ps store on Tuesday

New Vegas is really good but Vanquish is more fun, if a hell of a lot shorter

Slightly off topic but is there any news on when the big PlayTV patch is coming?
It was announced absolutely months ago and we were told it’d be released sometime in the autumn and the inclusion of ‘Series link’ is the one thing PlayTV is missing
37
Posted on 25 October, 2010 at 4:15 pm by extermin8or
do you know what time the RDR dlc will go live?

a german freind on ps3 says he has his but none of my uk freinds have it yet……..having to wait for this e-mail is killing me
43
Posted on 25 October, 2010 at 5:24 pm by DARTH69
is it correct that everyone who downloaded the kz3 theme gets an e-mail
44
Posted on 25 October, 2010 at 5:26 pm by Armaank
No, anyone who downloaded it before 8:30pm, I think they may have took it down after the 5,000/10,000 people they were letting into the beta downloaded it though!
45
Posted on 25 October, 2010 at 5:31 pm by Armaank
I downloaded it at 8:01PM so pretty certain I’m in, I have a feeling if you managed to download it, you’re in. I’m waiting on this e-mail too and its killing me! There Twitter feed says its coming but they have to send out all the 5,000/10,000 Beta Keys, to all of Europe and the 150 for every region in Europe so its taking a while, its been about 2 hours since they started sending them, I’m praying for a 6:00pm email!
46
Posted on 25 October, 2010 at 5:32 pm by Armaank
Darth69, how often are you checking you’re e-mail? I’m pretty busy so can’t keep on refreshing it, could you please post here when you get the e-mail?
47
Posted on 25 October, 2010 at 5:38 pm by ace1_
Where’s the KZ3 Beta invites then? Was expecting to have the email waiting when I got in from work, but, NO!
48
Posted on 25 October, 2010 at 5:42 pm by Armaank
@ace_1 Check the Twitter feed, for Killzonedotcom it explains what’s going on

Posted on 25 October, 2010 at 5:46 pm by Armaank
@James Gallagher – Excuse me please, do you think that the dudes at GG have gone home now and aren’t gonna send our emails out until tomorrow, obviously this is their decision and fine, and its our privilege to be getting into the beta, (although they will probably appreciate the bug testing we do) just wanted to know so I can rest for the rest of the evening!

PlayStation 3 an “engineering masterpiece,” with a motherboard that looks more like that of an enterprise server or network switch than a games console.
The console provides “more processing power and capability than any consumer electronics device in history.
took one apart that had YELLOW LIGHT OF DEATH and put the motherbaord in the oven for 10mins 220C left it to cool down for 30mins and put it all back together and it now works oh and woooo the fan is (BIG).
