Catherine PlayStation 3 Review

Catherine is a game like no other and doesn't fit into any genre. The plot is bizarre and so unusual it can lead to nightmares and sleepless nights for many gamers. It is about a love triangle involving two women. The relationship turns very bad but those gamers willing to play to the bitter end will be glad they did.

The main character is Vincent who is about 32 yrs old and he is in a relationship with Katherine. Yes, with a K. He is an easy going, laid back type of guy, who takes things one day at a time. Nothing seems to ruffle his feathers. Katherine, on the other hand is very serious, ambitious and goal oriented.

On a night out by himself, Vincent meets Catherine. Yes, with a C. They end up in bed together and spend the night in wild ecstasy. Catherine is more like Vincent and they share a lot in common. She is also very beautiful and attractive. From then on Vincent is driven mad with terrifying nightmares. He cannot forgive himself for cheating and his life becomes a turmoil of confusion and guilt. In his dreams he has to climb huge towers of stone and talking sheep hound him. Young men at that time are dying in their sleep and this adds to Vincent's psychological troubles.

Although this is only a game, the story is very real. Adult gamers will relate to the love and commitment issues involved in the storyline and perhaps this game is truly only for adults. Kids may not grasp the complex relationship issues present in the game. It is this aspect of the game that makes it so unique. Capturing such qualities in a video game isn't the norm and quite difficult to accomplish. However, the developer has done a superb job in the romance and relationship department. Mature adults will find the game rather comforting and realistic.

Vincent plays a very realistic character and the problems and obstacles he encounters are true to many real life love triangles. The decisions and choices he makes may not be the right ones, but how many of us have made terrible mistakes in our own real life relationships and lived to regret it later?

Vincent spends a lot of time with his friends in a singles bar, and they try and give him advice regarding his personal life. He has to juggle between his own conscience and those friends who mean well. Things start out simple, but gets very complicated as you move from one level to the next.

While Vincent is in the bar Catherine and others sends him text sms's and he has to reply quickly. Depending on what he answers the game can take unexpected twists. Writing a review on this game can be hard. You need to play the game and come to your own conclusion whether it is good or bad. The game can be too confusing for some and easy for others.

Rugby Challenge PlayStation 3 Review

FIFA 11 and Rugby Challenge have a lot of similarities which leads us to think that Sidhe has probably copied everything from FIFA 11 and inserted it into their own game and renamed it Rugby Challenge. This may be a good thing though, as the graphics are brilliantly constructed and leave rugby fans in awe.

The world's most famous teams all feature in this edition of rugby for the PlayStation 3. Australia and New Zealand are there as well as America. All of England's rugby teams feature, Wales, Ireland, Scotland which makes Rugby Challenge a comprehensive rugby game that all enthusiasts will love. Unfortunately, South African teams are left out of the licensing and fans will have to make do with faceless players and make-believe. Fortunately, you get to play all the major rugby games in the world. A feature that was absent in the recently released Rugby World Cup 2011.

The best option for the game is career mode and you are in charge of a country or rugby club and you have that job for 13 glorious seasons, to dummy and side-step to your heart's content. Kicking and running on the field are very similar to real life situations and there are four different kick variations you can perform with the control stick. Passing is easy to accomplish using the control stick. You should quickly master the controls without too many hick-ups. You can easily push and pull in the scrums. If you need help there is a comprehensive tutorial included and also a slow motion rules video, so even if you haven't played rugby before, it's easy to get going. You can build your own teams, buy and swap players from the different clubs and even create your own.

Although the licensing issue hampers the representation of South African teams, you can create your own players and name them as you wish. The downside is that you don't see characters with familiar faces running around on the field, but all the other major countries are fairly represented so this isn't the end of the world for rugby fans. In Rugby World Cup 2011 South African teams are also not licensed and you are severely limited in creating your own players. At least in Rugby Challenge you can build your own players from scratch or buy from other teams and insert the players into your own team.

Rugby Challenge does suffer from a few flaws though. There aren't any flashy moves on the field, or brilliant sidesteps you can perform to dazzle the crowds. All the moves are standard basic rugby tactics. If you are new to the game of rugby it won't matter, but fans who live and eat rugby will be disappointed. The commentators lack enthusiasm and their voices are without any emotion or feeling that drives the listener wild. If you've listened to a rugby game on radio or TV you will know what I'm talking about. The commentator fires you up with his fiery language and passion for the game. Much of the drama is lost with their lackluster performance.

On the field Rugby Challenge is exciting and full of action. The animations and facial expressions of the players are life-like and pump you full of adrenaline. You will have a ball of a time with this game.

If your PS3 is suffering with the Yellow Light of Death or YLOD error, there is every chance that if your machine does not have a current warranty you will be looking for a PS3 YLOD repair service.

The YLOD usually means a general hardware failure within the console.

Sending your PS3 to the manufacturer for repair or finding a local repair service can be very expensive, and you may get a refurbished machine back, minus the data you had saved on your hard drive.

In addition, some PS3 owners have run into repeat problems or new errors after having their system fixed. That can end up in even more repairs and costs.

Here are some of the PS3 fixes you can try yourself.

1. Switch off and Reboot.

Turn your machine off and let it cool down thoroughly and start over again.

2. Cables and Connections.

Check for loose cables. Sometimes this simple check can be all it takes to fix that annoying yellow PS3 light issue. Make sure that all the cables are tight and connected properly.

3. The Hard Drive.

The Playstation's hard disk is known to cause some problems. Sometimes when installing a game, it is possible for the Yellow Light of Death to appear.

A possible solution to this does require some knowledge of removing the Playstation 3's hard disk and re-formatting it on your personal computer.

All of your saved games, downloaded content and other data on your hard disk will be lost with this method.

You will need to remove the PS3 hard drive and connect it to your personal computer, select the PS3 drive and then reformat the drive. Re-insert the PS3 disk into the console and boot it up.

4. Cooling and Overheating.

One of the first things you can do to fix your PS3 YLOD problems is to turn off your PS3.

Just simply turn off your PS3 for at least 20 minutes or so. This will allow your PS3 to cool down.

Take your console out to a cool place, remove all the cables and use a low power vacuum cleaner to gently remove dust from all the vents. Many PS3 errors are due to overheating, and vents clogged with dust accumulation. Check that the fans are working.

5. Fix it Yourself.

A good PS3 repair system should include fixes for a whole range of problems that may show up - including the various error lights, blu-ray drive problems, and many other issues.

Most of these problems can be easily fixed with tools you almost certainly have in the house already. A good PS3 repair manual should have illustrated instructions, as well as video guides to walk you through the process.
