Please everyone get Resistance! Even with it's high-ish reviews, I'd say it's an underrated game. It's lacking a bit of personality, but everything technically is spot-on. Super high quality game and I haven't met anyone who has anything but great things to say about it.
Other impressions:
Motorstorm- Many are enjoying this game but not all is roses! Read my scorn for it in the main thread. I must say again that the core game is awesome. It's just supported in an inexcusably anemic shell.
Formula 1- Awesome, amazing game. No console F1 game has ever been so involved and demanding. I can only reccomend it to hardcore driving fans, tho! It can be enjoyed casually, but if you don't really savor grinding out laps, you can't really get the most out of it. If you can stomach the idea of taking a break to ponder the camber qualites of turn 7 thru 9 before you go for another 20 practice laps, then you will get alot of mileage out of your dollars. Er.. or your rupees or your gil or whatever the **c* you people spend over there.
Virtua Fighter 5- The best fighitng game. Period. However, without the desire to get good, and without firends who also want to get good, it's pretty much useless. The single player is head an shoulders above any other fighter, but without human players to interact with it's just not enough.
Ridge Racer 5- I love it!!!!!! Please don't overlook it. There's alot of game here, it just happens to be very repetitive, in an old-school arcade sort of way. If you can, like me, get into the awesome music and sense of style, the snappy skill-based gameplay can entertain for hours. I consider it a sophisticated alternative to Burnout. Besides, it comes with Xevious!!
Flow- Not that I don't enjoy Flow now - but it makes me long for those bygone days of hardcore drug abuse....
GripShift- I find it tepid myself, but thruth be told I have found no pattern to people's reaction toward this game. Some loathe it and some do backflips. I'd sugest taking the chance just to support early independent development.
GTHD- It's free and it's awesome!
Blast Factor- A rather poor attempt to replicate 360's Geometry Wars. Kinda fun nonetheless. Don't forget the multiplayer options cost a few buck/rupees/gil extra.
