What Have You Played This Week?

What have you guys/gals played this week?
Feel free to add your thought about it, like whether you enjoyed it, had a frustrating time, as it would be interesting to know. for example, this week i've played...

• Killzone 2 - ps3 -epic, but surprisingly i'm playing the multiplayer more than the single player. that is mostly cause i was in the beta, so for a short period i have more experiance than most people playing it and therefore i'm kicking ass, lol. i don't have a single complaint about the game yet. multiplayer is pretty perfect.
• Folklore - ps3 - its surprising me how into this i'm getting. i've not played most cause of killzone 2, but the story is good enough for me to put down killzone and play this. at the moment, i don't know how it's going to end and i want to play to find out.
• FF VII Crisis Core - psp -i have a old save i went back to, i've never completed the game. graphics are soo impressive and the fmv's are soo cool to watch. but again, i've not really played much of the story as i've been doing alot of the side missions, bite sized and all soo good and useful. but i will go back to the story.

Anyone else, what have you played this week?

Killzone 2 and lack of updates

Wow, what a game. but i have not been playing much of the single player.
i was in the beta, way back when, for Killzone 2 so i've used that experience to jump into the multiplayer and kick ass, lol.
there's not many games that i can dominate when playing online, so i'm fully enjoying this.
there are alot more maps than i've played before, and it's taking some time to adjust to them, but they are genearlly pretty good, a good mixture of close combat and distance.
i'm enjoying myself soo much i apologuise for the lack of updates, i'm keeping the twitter going pretty frequently.
but seriously, anyone with a ps3 should be playing this, well i'd say flower as well. it has the best graphics, the best multiplayer...all things people have said the ps3 didn't have. here it is, now people go and enjoy it.

Someone Replied!

As crazy as it sounds, but apart from signing up to press releases from various publishers, i finally had someone reply to a email i sent.
i've been trying to find out what happened to Blast Factor, Echochrome, and Bionic Commando Rearmed trophy patches. so far i've tried contacting Sony Europe, Sony America, and Blue Point Games (the developer of Blast Factor) and had no replies from either. However, when i contacted Grin Studio's (the developers of Bionic Commando Rearmed) they replied. it was very polite, but they couldn't answer where the patch was. they informed me i would have to go to Capcom to find out what happened....
Still awaiting a reply...
