4 months 26 minutes ago on 10 most frustrating things about gaming online
I'd say one of the worst things is being put into a game thats about to finish.

You've just managed to get a bit of spare time, so you fancy a quick game of COD4 or similar. You log in, manage to keep your sanity through the inevitable "Couldn't connect to server" that happens at times, and just when you finally manage to get in a game, you checkthe score and you've got 10 seconds left before you're back in the lobby and it starts again!

As good as online is, they need to make it so it's more about playing online and not waiting around trying to play online. In some games you hardly get any play time as the networking is so bad.

Also just to add, the pressing wrong button on menu's - most of the older PS1 games used triangle for back, not circle - I remember that transition feeling very weird for me but now thinking of triangle as back seems so very, very wrong.

You know, the traditional "Red Ring of Death" is only 3 of the 4 lights - you can't criticise someone new to games about thinking that the full 4 lights is the RROD because IT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT'S A RING!

Heh :D everything else in the article is spot on, I've done a few of these myself.

Okay, so I haven't played the Halo games so I don't know how likely this would be but how about...

Master Chief is Sgt John Forge's son. Ages seem to fit judging from the comments already posted, perhaps MC was an unborn child when his father died at the end of Halo Wars, father obviously given some sort of medal in his honour, when MC is born he is named after his father in his honour.

Also explains the resemblances in looks. But really, I have no idea how likely any of that could be - something for you halo fans to decide.

I only just managed to get the demo today, finally back online. And it's really good. But I'd rather have Prince of Persia, and don't have enough money for both. Will definately be picking this one up at some point though.

Ah, thank you. It's just that I rarely visit the main page for vids, only usually see the embed. Changing the bandwidth to high definately improved it though, will keep this in mind when I view more vids.

Very nice video, been looking forward to this game for weeks. If only I wasn't already getting LBP and Midnight Club, and just bought Bioshock.

And although I don't like to say it, you really need to do something about your video quality, even youtube is better. And a full screen button would be nice too :)

Or is it just another ploy for Sony to whip up some more hype about this game?

This little delay won't make the people who had it pre-ordered cancel it, yet it acts as more ammo for the hype machine that Sony seem to have taken very fondly to these last few months.

You think that's bad? There's a few missing from this list, one is 'I chose the impossible' - You have to beat survivor difficulty without using vita chambers.

Props to anyone who manages to get the platinum for this.

I can't believe you're posting this as new news. But as long as more people know about it, the better.

I'm guessing, from the logo, encrusted in barnacles and that it stops dripping, that this is a sequel, not a prequel. I don't think the girl is the main character, I reckon she is a little sister grown up, but has twisted memories of rapture, she doesn't remember or know the true horrors of that place. She want's to return there as she remembers the feeling of safety the big daddy's gave her, and so she decides to raise Rapture once again, but this time, it's gotten even worse, and the horrors there will be even greater than before.

But I haven't even yet played BioShock 1 (getting it later today on PS3 :))

Wow, great list, you guys got it pretty spot on. Can I just say I'm so glad Grim Fandango is on here, that is a classic game, I actually feel sorry for those who never got to experience it (ebay people!). Actually I may try and find it again myself.
