Best experience was recently playing battlefield: bad company on PS3.

Playing as a specialist, I shot a tracer at an oncoming light jeep as it drove towards me and the tracer led a rocket right into it. This caused the jeep to explode into the air and do a full front flip over me!

To top it off, the jeep landed and kill the fellow who shot the rocket and saved me!

I purchase my games used from gamestop.

Ps3..

Jaywalking.

Jaywalking.

360 version runs at 720p.

It should be noted that the b3d has mostly concluded that the ps3 version is graphically superior.

The majority of reviews have come to the same conclusion.

It actually runs at 640p as described in the b3d thread.

Correction: The controller is a dualshock 3, not a sixaxis.

There was a demo for Turok on PS3... I find it hard to beleive the joystiq staff does not have a ps3.

The demo was absolutely horrible too.

They were purchased here by my room-mate.

I've played them extensively and decided that I would likely not have paid $10 myself.

Rat's nest is great for CTF, but for team slayer it simply turns into a major camping standoff. I've played it about 30 times and everytime both teams end up camping worse than any other map.

Foundry is simply awesome. Lots of fun, especially the 6 on 6. It's a real challenge to get a killing spree, but double kills are everywhere. Editing foundry is a lot of fun, and nearly worth the price itself, but I draw the line at paying $10 for a single halo map when I can go on my ps3 and buy a good 50 hour game (wild arms) for 5.99.

Standoff IS BROKEN. I don't know how to put it any other way. I've played this map more than any of the others and it is a constant spawn-and-die map. I've heard lots of other people complain about it as well. Many of the spawn points are in heavy battle areas which makes spawning as dangerous as shooting straight up in the air. I've seen generals get kill spreads at -20 in neutral assault and ctf. One game our entire team's kill spread was less than -10, AND WE WON! That's just not right. Hopefully they'll get some good data from the heat maps and change the respawn points.

That's my opinion. All in all, I rather play ranked team slayer where the maps currently are not in rotation it seems. I don't think I'll get $10 of enjoyment out of the maps compared to offerings on XBLA or playstation store. Hell, I figure I could have more fun just buying ds/psp games from the bargain bin at walmart.

The maps aren't horrible, they're just not worth the money for how little they'll likely get used.

You can buy a card that allows you to play music at any best buy, hardly homebrew.

Article should be updated to reflect that videos wont play without homebrew.. but music can.
