OK, here's my take on these -
1) CoD is awesome
2) Never really understood AC, since i started playing from Brotherhood, and now AC 1 seems to old to be played...
3) God of War is the best game i ever played. Only thing i miss on my Xbox 360 (coming from PS2)
4) NFS seems to have become crappy lately, Most Wanted and Carbon were great, after that they removed the stories, so i didn't play them. The Run was nice, but pretty short.
The others, i never tried....
@Oly - PS3, hands down. Free online gaming, and Sony's exclusive games are too good to forgo. My brother bought the Xbox despite my advise of getting a PS3, but it's pretty nice too.
Also, since David Villa's injury, Barca seems to be short of strikers, i just hope they win the champions league, or else the Madrid supporters at school will torture me all year
Which console you buy is a very personal choice, oly.
It depends upon what kind of games you play and which franchises you consider indispensable.
If you're a Gears of War or Halo fan, you will take a plunge for the xbox, while if games like God of War (interesting, isn't it, the two top games from competing platform having almost identical names??) get your heart pumping, PS3 is your calling.
Secondly, I personally feel that the PS3 has better graphics, and an overall excellent BluRay DVD player thrown in for free!! I'd go for the PS3 (You HAVE to play God of War in HD to understand what I'm talking about), although I understand that there are more game titles available for the xbox currently.
Since we are off topic (is there a topic here?? Guess not
), just saw some leaks of the new Samsung Galaxy SIII : looks like a Quad Core ARM7 processor - I don't know if this is an early prototype or the real thing, but for the first time, the Galaxy series seems to have done away with that iPhone clone central hard button. Time will tell.
Yeah, thanks guys!
Specswise, I think the PS3 is better than the xbox. Yeah, Blu-ray is a major plus, I don't have a blue-ray player yet! However, most of my friends have xbox's and they previously had a ps3
So, even though Ps3 gaming is free, none of my friends actually really use it! But then again, I'm not much of a heavy gamer, and to be honest, i think i will be using the blu-ray feature more than gaming! Can the ps3/xbox browse the internet? I mean like actually use the game controller to surf the net? Because I see that the PS3 has a dedicated browser app. If so, that would be epic!
The 2 main games that my friends mostly play are FIFA & COD. God Of War has always been fantastic since the last time I played it on PS2 - I can't wait to see how graphics have evolved on the PS3!

Yeah, I saw those SGS3 leaks yesterday! To be honest... I'm not really impressed! The specs are on par with the One X. The last SGS series were groundbreaking, and way ahead of the competition. With this new SGS3, I would actually still consider the One X over it, given the choice!
Even though MP don't mean much, I expected the SGS3 to be a 12MP shooter... How is it going to differentiate with the One X ImageSense? Average consumers only care about the MP, and if they see the One X has ImageSense, they would think it's an extra feature that puts it ahead of the SGS3.
Also, the most disappointing thing, is the SGS3 has Mali-400 GPU - the same one used in last years model!!
What a silly move by Samsung, using last-gen hardware on their new flagship
TouchWiz looks the same old, you really can't tell the difference from TouchWiz 4.0, or whether it has ICS under it.
Of course, my assumptions are only based on the supposed specs of the leaked SGS3.
Also, I dunno if it's just me, but lately, I've noticed a lot of tech journalists / reviewers actually criticize manufacturers for skins. I can totally understand their POV on crappy skins like MotoBlur etc, but they have even started it on Sense. Even the new Sense 4.0. If you read a lot of reviews, they still say that Sense 4.0 UI is bloated & sluggish. They much prefer pure ICS.
I remember a few years ago when Sense came out, it received a great response, everyone loved it. Thats why the Desire went on and beat the SGS as phone of the year in 2010 - purely due to the innovative Sense UI (even though it had weaker specs) Then in 2011, we saw the SGS2 was phone of the year because of it's killer specs toppling the Sensation with Sense UI - skins didn't really matter at this point anymore.
Now in 2012, most reviews I see are reviewers bashing manufacture skins, and how they should leave it stock ICS and not tamper with it...
What are your thoughts on this?
