Borderlands
I went to pick up FIFA 10 last night and in doing so found 2 other games that interested me: Borderlands and Lips #1 Hits. Yes, I admit it I like the singing games.
Borderlands was only available for the PS3 (sold out of Xbox), so I picked up the 1 of 2 copies GameStop received.
I took it home and WTF – after the all too common hard drive dump (I don’t call it in install because I believe it is basically offloading the data off the bluray and onto the HDD), the game continually locks up. Furthermore, the graphics are awful. I see walls that appear and disappear while guys are shooting at me.
Now this is the 3rd problem I’ve had with PS3 games, both Madden and NCAA have the weird spear coming out of the guy problem I’ve blogged about before.
Every support issue is “clear the game cache” …I have 2 PS3s, both the old model (40GB and 60 GB upgraded to 250 GB). I have the problem on both.
Right now the next step is doing a full back up, format and restore. Anyone else out there have PS3 borderlands and having a problem?
I exchanged it for the 360 version today and the game looks much better!
Now in sports news, I am playing the heck out of FIFA 10 on the 360. Well it’s on my son’s 360 so I’m playing it on his, but man, what a fun game. The controls seem very intuitive and I have a better appreciation for the international game this time around thanks to my son and I watching of the Premiership and Serie A on weekend mornings. I love Fox Soccer Channel!
So far, I’m very impressed with FIFA. Oh and Lips #1 hits is fun too, but you probably don’t care
