How much would 7000 video games cost? About $1.2million apparently http://www.latimes.com/business/tech...,6539757.story

That is crazy.

That rather transcends 'impressive'!

Opinions on Just Cause 2?

I'm looking for an open world game with lots to do. It's either that for £5 or getting back into Skyrim.

I've not played it myself, but from what I've heard Just Cause 2 should fit the bill. Alternatively, wait a month for Dawnguard?

Just Cause 2 is one of the best looking games on the PS3. The sandbox is huge. Sadly it does get boring really quickly because there actually isn't that much to do. The missions are boring, the plot is rotten and all the towns are extremely similar... All the destructible objects are handily marked in red whereas the rest of the environment is conveniently indestructible.

It looks fantastic when you're hovering above the mountains at 10000 feet in a helicopter as the sun sets over the ocean, but down on the ground, the detail's pretty limited. Some of the towns do look quite good but there is nothing to do in them except start a fight, which will bore you to tears as wave after wave of brainless cannon fodder comes for you. The AI is terrible. The combat isn't that good, your weapons feel like toys because single enemies can soak up entire clips and there are maybe a total of 10 weapons to play with

£5 is a bargain but you'll be bored after an hour or two, even the most entertaining things like driving a monster truck down a mountain get old quickly. I highly recommend RDR if you haven't got it, the story is stellar, there are far more things to do, the combat is fantastic. Even Infamous, which is quite old, is good fun with variety in the missions and continually becoming more powerful as the game progresses keeps it fresh.

I still have a fair bit to complete without adding DLC to Skyrim. I do intend to buy Dawnguard though, eventually.

RDR is a great game.

Just Cause does look like it could be great fun. I'm reminded of action films by watching some videos of it. For a fiver it probably isn't a bad purchase and I should get a kick out of it.

Test it out on a TV i traded my rrod 360 with a girl for a ps3 on gumtree i come home to find it has NO harddrive the power cable inside it was disconnected AND it had ylod

Im playing it on a better tv and the detail is truly magnificent riding through the great plains and seeing the sunset over a vast land is something

Metal Gear Solid 4 trophy patch FINALLY coming in August.

Like I need another excuse to play through this game Doing the BBE again is going to be irritating though..

Seriously? Wow, that's an impressive time lag To my shame, I've not actually played through it yet so I'll have a good excuse to do so now. I've got the HD collection on its way now, though...

I think they're releasing some kind of ultimate edition in Japan (no idea what extras are or anything) which has trophies built in so trophy patch going worldwide in August.

Have you played them before?

If not. Play the HD Collection first (MGS3 = ) then get on it. It's a fantastic game if you are invested in the story. If not, it's an irritating amount of (albeit skippable) cutscenes mixed in with a short amount of very good gameplay.

The first two acts of the game are some of the best third person action I've ever played. It's great fun.

I'm hoping someone can recommend me a new game...I asked in here before (well about a year ago!) and someone recommended me a game which I loved so I'm hoping someone can get it spot on again!

I like big open world games with missions and stuff you can collect and do, I have GTA 4 and Red Dead Redemption (which was recommended to me last time) and I love both. I'm really not into fantasy games, I don't mind historical things but no dragons/fairies/monsters etc please! Also something not ridiculously difficult would be good, and something which has the option to use cheats - terrible I know but sometimes I just like playing for the storyline/environment and I don't play online or anything. I was considering Assassins Creed but I don't really know if it's for me?

Assassin's Creed (I'd suggest wither Brotherhood or Revelations) sounds like it should be perfect; that, or inFamous (1 and 2).

Probably the toughest fight in the game, in my opinion. Have you been playing alone or summoning people?

Bit of both. Just done it with two summons finally after helping someone else do it to get my humanity back. Karma!

I actually started a soul level 1 run through the game, but lost motivation after beating O&S. Don't think I'll ever finish it, really.

Have you had many invasions since you started? Anor Londo used to be one of my prime invading spots.

I'm a bit annoyed as it's the first time I've had to use summons through the game, I got Super Smough down to like a centimetre a couple of times solo but just gave in.

Had a few but got my arse handed to me mostly. Played a lot of it as a hollow until now where my build's started reaping rewards as I get the Chaos weapons and I can actually compete.

Just bought Saints Row for £14.99 from play.com. Should distract me from job hunting for a while
