Many moons ago I wrote an article about the great 360 game 'Gears of War' and suggested that it was a turning point in the consoles lifespan opening up true next generation gaming. For the past few weeks I have been looking forward to doing something similar with a game on my new Playstation 3 (PS3).

That was a few weeks ago, hopefully he's forgotten who he lent it to as I still have it and plan on playing it many more times - save me from ...  Read the complete review
