Resistance: very nice game, the graphics are good and the gameplay is pretty tricky, the oppo need a good amount of bullets to go down which is pretty good.
Motorstorm: I love driving games and this is really fun, the visuals are fanstastic and once you get used to the speed/controls it's really enjoyable but the levels did take a little long to load.
I have to say their are some disapointing things about the PS3:
1. Controller, it's nice and light but you find that if your hand sweats at all the controller becomes slippy, especially when playing Motorstorm cos the trigger button isn't a proper trigger and more of a button which is problem, for example when playing Motorstorm the trigger BUTTON is used to 'go' and x is used to boost the vehicle, but when you have to use the two your finger slips off the 'trigger'
2. The GUI isn't too great, especially compared to the 360 Dashboard, basically all the PS3 GUI is a carbon copy of the PSP one.
3. Online, it's not as detailed as the 360 setup, you don't get the detail you do with the 360 like comparing games, achivements,etc.
4. Audio, their isn't any capability which allows you to stream your music from your computer to the PS3, which in my eyes is a massive let down as I and most 360 owners play our own music while gaming, this is something promissed with the PS1, PS2 and the PS3 but still Sony fail to deliver.
I have to say though that their are some kool things like their aren't any power or cd tray button, instead it's touch sensitive, also you can use any bluetooth headset for online play which I think is fantastic
All in all the PS3 from what I saw (2 hours worth) the PS3 is a great console with some nice graphics but the thing that lets it down in my eyes is the menu setup and the online features, once again Sony are chasing Microsoft in the online area of the market, apart from the Blu Ray drive I really don't think this console is anything special that commands the £450 price tag, especially when the games line up for the rest of the years isn't that great!
