Last week my PS3 adventure has involved two things:

• Playing Fallout 3, finally.
• Playing GTA 4 online, multiplayer.

Lots of fun and some frustration. Tried writing a post on Fallout 3, but my brain won’t cooperate. It’s drafted and will be finished and posted in the coming days.

It’s been a week now, and I’m as enthralled as ever, and I haven’t even played Fallout 3 and Little Big Planet yet. It’s been GTA 4 all the way. What an insanely great game it is. When I’m not playing I’m thinking about the game and study the map of Liberty City, the fictional city in which the game takes place. In fact I think playing this game is improving my map reading skill and my spatial intelligence.

Feel I’m becoming a serious gamer, though I’m sure it’ll be less intense in a while. Aside from playing (and studying the map) I’ve been hunting information on the internet, reading articles and watching videos on youtube. I want to get a “feel” for what’s out there, which games are considered the best on PS3, and so on, so I’ve read lots of “top ten PS3”-games articles. The games I’m right now most interested in getting are Bioshock and Infamous, especially since both are kind of old and therefore not expensive.

I’ve also read comparisons between PS3 and XBox 360. I hadn’t played on either when I made my purchase, but I’m more confident than ever that I made the right decision. Guess I’m a PS3 fanboy now.

Got my playstation a few days ago, and so far I’ve played two of my four games. Verdict: very happy. Great console, silent and works flawlessly so far.

First day: played Wipeout. Looks great (it’s in 1080p HD, but I’m using an old CRT-TV, looks great anyway), fun to play. What can I say, classic PS game. Can get a little repetitive if played too much, unlike…

Second Day: Played some more Wipeout, but also installed GTA4. Love this game, it’s the main reason I bought the PS3. Looks, sounds and feels fabulous.

Ordered a Playstation 3 (my first game console) + some games a couple of days ago. That’ll be fun, I hope, and a good activity when I’m too tired to do something else, but too non-tired to engage in ordinary resting. Plus I think computer games are beneficial for the mind.

These are the games:

• GTA 4 (platinum)
• Wipeout HD Fury
• Fallout 3
• Little Big Planet

Why these? All four was on discount (games at full price are pretty expensive), and the first three I’ve played (and enjoyed) earlier versions of, and the fourth seemed kind of fun plus it can be played multiplayer locally, which I wanted.
