That's why you have to pay attention to your map in first-person games. Map is only good for spotting enemies who shoot their gun. It doesn't detect those who haven't fired. or with silencers

Two awesome news bits today.
-Portal 2 will be on PSN next Tuesday, with a new patch designed for the PlayStation Move. Why? Because we're getting a new DLC pack specifically FOR the Move, for $10. I guess Portal 2 in general will be $30. Either way, it's Portal 2. BUY IT!
-The Mass Effect Trilogy (and more importantly, the FIRST Mass Effect) will hit PS3 (ME1 on PSN) on December 4th.

So, if it isn't already evident, it looks like Valve has completely changed favorites when it comes to consoles. You see, Microsoft? You see what happens when you find a major game developer in the alps?
You basically pissed away one of the only third party partnerships you had that made me jealous of 360 owners(I'm no longer so, as I now have the Left 4 Dead games on my MacBook).
Granted you need a Move to take advantage of this, but I'll be honest, I've kind of been eying the current PlayStation Move basics bundle which is the Eye, a Move controller, and a copy of Just Dance 3.
Edit: Also, December 4th is shaping up to be a surprisingly good last major release date. First Far Cry 3, and now ME1.

Well that didn't take long. Only two matches in in the multiplayer and I already have my first first place finish(by a large margin, too. I had 13 kills and only 3 deaths in the match. The next best guy had only 9 kills and 4 deaths). I just don't get how I'm so much better at multiplayer in third person games than first person. I personally believe it is because in third person I can see the other players coming from all directions, whereas in first person you have a giant blind spot called everything not immediately on screen is outside of your field of vision. Makes it much easier to be killed by someone you didn't see. If Call of Duty games were ever in third person shooter, I would own, but since it's FPS, I'm horrible. Absolute trash. I have the same issue you have, third person is so much better since you get a clear view of everything. The angle is just better.

GTA4 MISSIONS UPDATE (by me ;D ) {Spoiler}reached THREE LEAFED CLOVER, bloody tough and definately the longest mission i've had! the first few times i got buggerred when getting out the bank and traversing that first set of alley ways, but the last time i got into the subways and out the other end but got bogged down so i might just get back down to the subway and lose my wanted level. also the mission UNDRESS TO KILL is getting my attention ..... know how to take out the first manager, with SILENCE ..... or a nice warm knife , but only recent that i found the second one, read up and probably know where the third one naffs off to out the back! and the mission WRONG IS RIGHT was a pain in the ARSE, without a fast car ;D and now ..... i know where the ROCKET LAUNCHERS ARE ..... because i sneaked a look at an interactive map MWAHAHAHAHAHAoh yeah, i NOW know how to throw grenades

Makes me now think of a 2014 launch date. Give devs all of 2013 to do most of the development time for launch titles and then let them polish them up in early 2014. As for the controller they better stick with the DuelShock design. If they switch to a 360 knockoff like Nintendo did with their Wii U pro controller I'm going to scream. Finally the PS4 will have 8 to 16GBs of RAM. Bethesda will be out of excuses when it comes to developing PS4 games.

The 720will feature 9 or 17 gigs, just to f*** with everyone, and Bethesda will find it the deal breaker.

Jesus, the nominees I'm selecting for this year's Gilded Gamepads(my re-titling of FANs end of the year game awards) is going to be interesting. Why? Because so far there is only 9 games to have an aggregate review score of over 90%(remember for the GotY award I pick the top 4 overall scored games that fit within the availability restrictions, and right now those top 4 games are Journey, Mass Effect 3, Xenoblade Chronicles, and.......Trials Evolution).
There is a metric s***load of games in the high 80% range, though, and that is going to make, for example, all of the other awards like the platform and genre specific awards interesting to pick, because again just like GotY I pick the top 4 overall rated games in their respective categories. I might have to expand it to 5 nominees in each category this year to even remotely be fair.
The reason I'm bringing this up all of a sudden is because two games I was expecting for damn sure to be potential GotY nominees for the Gilded Gamepads, Assassin's Creed III and Halo 4, have both got an aggregate score below 90%, so they are already out of the running.
Right now the only other games that have a shot at GotY from us are Dishonored(thanks to the PC version's aggregate being over 90%), Guild Wars 2, Mark of the Ninja, Borderlands 2, and NBA 2K13.
It is kind of funny, though, that 3 downloadable games are potential GotY candidates for us.

Europe's getting Crysis 2, Ratchet & Clank All 4 One and Cubixx 3D as the new PS+ content for November. Not bad at all.

^ Nope. It won't have a Cell. Without a Cell, it won't be BC to the PS3.

Which I don't mind seeing as I can still keep my PS3 for that stuff.
What I am more interested in, however, is about stuff like Playstation Plus and PSN accounts/purchases in general.
