After 8 Years with Xbox I’ve Gone Back to PlayStation

Some time in 2002 a young Matt upgraded from his old PlayStation One to a brand new Xbox. I bought games like NFL Fever 2002 and Halo and spent countless hours playing over these amazing games. Over the next few years I had the privilege of playing some of the best games I have ever played like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

In 2005 on launch day I upgraded to the Xbox 360 and started playing the countless games that were released for the console. Up until this year I was content with my console, but for whatever reason the games started getting stale to me. Games like Halo ODST and Mass Effect were great and fun, but it felt like I had already done that stuff before. Soon enough my Xbox 360 was collecting dust and was only used to watch Netflix and to play my addiction, Madden 2010. Feeling as though I was losing my love for games I sold my Xbox and bought a PlayStation 3.

The reason for the switch was some of the great first party games Sony had released in the past year. Games like Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, God of War 1 and 2 in HD, LittleBigPlanet and one of the best sports games of all time, MLB 09: The Show. After playing just a few hours of each game it was refreshing to see how much fun these games were. I couldn’t put down Uncharted 2 because of the amazing gameplay and wonderful story line and I couldn’t believe how much fun LittleBigPlanet was to play online with my friends, for free. I will be doing a small review of each of these games in another point, but I want to stress the point of how much fun these games are. Unlike most 360 exclusive games I wasn’t playing these just for achievement points and they weren’t all just first person shooters.

I will be posting a review on the PS3 and some of the games that I own later on, and I am not a fanboy of any kind when it comes to consoles but I can say that I truly think the PS3 is the best platform out there.

Fanboys, give me hell.
