why anyone would buy one of these is a mystery

Also God of War 3 is also in development. Which should also kick ass.

I need a new wireless modem router, my Netgear packed up last week. I went to PC World Saturday morning and picked up a Belkin N+. Looks like this:
Works really well with my Macbook, iMac and iPhone. Doesn't work with my PS3 unless I turn wireless security off and then it only stays connected to PSN for about 10 minutes before dying.
After some Googling I see that this particular router is well known for not working with PS3's. I did a quick search on my iPhone before buying... but I wish I had researched properly first, I usually do.
Anyway, what I want to know is what you guys use – I need a recommendation because PC World is going to their crappy Belkin router back as soon as I have got something that works.
Cheers.
- Grabbed a Netgear DGN2000 to replace that piece of shit. So far so good :)Raniator

My 'Significant Other' gave me a ps3 a couple of days ago.
Much appreciated but I rarely play. Very out of touch with these things.Anyways, can you guys recommend a good 2 player game?
Not online but games to be played at home, with someone like the mentioned Significant Other.She's into shooting heads of zombies but would settle for anything fun. Fun enough. She got me/us/her Biohazard/Resident Evil 5 but we're almost done with it.
- Skate II, Modnation Racers, FIFA are all games I share with my lady... Thinkin' about Red Dead Redemption...ideaist
- Little Big Planet is a good game to play co-op if she's into girly games. Rock Band is another.Gucci
- Again... only if she's into fun kiddie style games. Seems you've already run the gamut of Zombie killers.Gucci

Well I only had my lunch break to check it out quickly. All good so far (obviously – like anyone is expecting it to be rubbish). I tried the single player campaign and that is full on action right from the word go, and the cutscenes are pretty hot too – if you care about the story.
I tried the online VERY quickly and just had a quick round of the Combat Training (the one where you play against bots as if it is online). That was cool. It actually uses your online buddies' names as your team mates and opponents so it's like your playing with them but you aren't. I imagine it'll be a good introduction to the maps before you actually go online and get your arse handed to you by a 10 year old.
So yeah, it's rocks but then we knew that :)

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed comes out in September too.
Even if you're not a SW fan this game looks great from a mechanics point of view. Check out some vids.

Just got GRID and it rocks!!
I love that game. GTA4 multiplayer is good too.

Raniator, I would not go to PC world for that kind of thing, you end up paying more for a lower spec router. I got a D-link, its fine for using on the mac, and the ps3 and any pc lappy I've tried to connect with it. I think I had to put the ps3 into the dmz for it to work ok, but I had no real problems with it and its a good speed for a decent price. Only thing is it doesn't have gigabit ethernet ports.

You might find a better faster one, though if you're willing to spend a bit more like this: http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/…

Yeah, I realise PC World is rubbish but I just wanted to get it sorted quickly. I'm doing a bit of research, I'll check out D-link. Cheers.
- no worries, someone on here recommended it to me earlier in the year when I was getting mine.shitehawke
- By the way, I need a modem router. That D-link is just a router.Raniator

Well this cunt is using it to watch films and tv series now that I've got my hard drive hooked up to my wifi as a streaming media server. Its cool, currently catching up on the wire with breaking bad to come. All the good shit that I missed out on cos it got poxy time slots over here.
Finished mirrors edge, which was frustrating/fucking awesome in equal measures. great game, and well worth an investment now that its on special.
Still playing half life 2 on the orange box, that shits addictive and still got episode 1 & 2 to go. Graphics may not be on a par with the newer games but gameplay is good and story hooked me.
- I really enjoyed breaking bad, hope it gets a second series.Wolfboy

I'm a PES nut, I've got the 2009 demo downloaded. I think I'll be getting the full game as soon as it comes out.
How has the online game been in PES 2008? I got my copy from ebay and the guy I bought it from hasn't been able to supply the online code so I've only played against the machine and mates who've been round.
- Never been able to get online...some NAT type 3 issue.BannedKappa
- I've got online with no problems using tIme machine, but it's the actual game I've got problems with because it's already been resisted.Wolfboy

MGS4 is still the reason you should buy a ps3, just to experience how truly amazing the game is. The online play is also all kinds of awesome, and the single player can be VERY punishing on hard difficulties. Very much a gamers game!
- true - but the storyline/cutscenes are incoherent and go on and on and on and on about absolutely nothing.quamb
- have you played the previous games? the story line of this one is a culmination of alltOki
- it's also very typical of japanese games/films and many western audiences dont get it..tOki
- It was announced MGS4 was now coming to 360. The exclusives never stay that way.ETM
