Cool Joe it's good that you found a steady job. Unfortunately RoboGladiators closed yesterday and is selling off all the combat stuff. Including HW robot Bounty Hunter, an arena and some other stuff. So now I'm out of work.

Bummer, horrible to see more people giving up on the sport

[SKBT]

I know what you mean. Especially when it's a top team like Team Hammertime was. I would have bought Bounty Hunter if I had an extra $2500 lying around.

Yea Im happy.. careers isnt set yet in this place, but it should happen over the coming months.. but for now the boss told me he is more then happy to keep me employed there so im happy to just be bringing in full time paychecks with a job that im happy to go to (for the first time ever)

Lol nice Joe. Well you can see what my PSN is in my sig.
Now it's kinda too bad that I have DiRT3 on PC.

Judging by your PSN pic.. do you play the PS3 Ratchet and Clank Trilogy?

If so any good?

Get Mortal Kombat. (not MK vs. DCU, just MK).

I dont really care much for fighting games..

We've not had a new, decent robot in the UK from a new team in ages

I only have Quest for Booty and Crack In Time of the PS3 R&C games. But I like them a lot. Then again, I've always loved these games.
But I do suggest getting Wipeout HD Fury if you want some extreme high speed racing.

[JoeBlo]

I think I will have enough racing games to last me a bit :P

I own R&C 2, 3, Gladiator/ Deadlocked and Size Matters but I heard mixed reviews for the PS3 ones.. but I cant imagine they would be worse then the PS2 counterparts..(which are all really good)

[Gazea2]

Rachet and Clank are awesome. Too bad I has no PS3.

Joe, if you're into racing games then Wipeout HD Fury or whatever it's called is good. My older bro plays it.

The PS2 ones were awesome and that hasn't changed on the PS3. Reviews done always tend to be that reliable.

I've played that game so damn much! And just racing with some friends is really great fun. You really should get a PS3.

[Gazea2]

My older brother has one and in the 2 years that he has had it, he has let me on it ONCE. >:[
Wipeout for the original Playstation was awesome and the one for the PS3 is even better. Rachet Clank is good for the PS3 too but I've only seen vids of it.

[Temi]

I Have Rachet & Clank 1, 2, 3 & Gladiator.

[Gazea2]

I have 1, 2, 3, Gladiator and Size Matters.

I Have Rachet & Clank 1, 2, 3 & Gladiator.

Those were great! 2 was the best from those IMO. LOADS of weapons.

[JoeBlo]

Its funny, aside from Secret Agent Clank.. #1 is the only PS2 R&C I have never played :P

I didnt like #2 for the lack of Lock Strafe.. my finger was getting sore from holding down the Strafe button constantly so I never finished it :P .. 

I figured #1 would lack that feature also..

[G.K.]

soo S_M.. With a stable well paying job.. It looks like I am very likely to buy a PS3 within the week

On the shopping list for games..

Motorstorm
Motorstorm Pacific Rift
Motorstorm Apocalypse
Dirt 3
MX vs ATV Reflex
Monster Jam Path of Destruction

(Can you believe I like offroad motorsport?)

I probably wont buy all at once but a local store has buy 1 get 1 free right now so its a good chance to stock up on some games..

If you want I'll point SM to this upon his return.

I never play with the strafing locked. I always rather have it like in 2. 1 doesn't have strafing at all, as far as I remember.

I'm out of work.

I know how you feel. I got laid off on Monday. No more money... But at least I get more time to be on here and play RA2.

[ACAMS]

Layed off, or fired?

[HurricaneAndrew]

Laid off.

I would get a Countach, but those things are more exspensive than ever these days.

It's posts like this that make me think Hard Bot is trying to troll us...

Joe, If you're getting a PS3 get the Killzone 3 bundle. It has 160 GB PS3 and Killzone 3. You're getting a $60.00 game for free! Also you should play The inFAMOUS series. That game is awsomesauce

[G.K.]

What if he doesn't want Killzone 3...
