All I can say, it's pure fun. Non-stop action with Chow Yun Fat. It's THX certified game, so the sound effects is pretty much top-notch quality. Story isn't the centre point here, but the gameplay is, and that won't let you down. Watch Havok's physics being used to it's max out here. I played it a long time back, so can hardly remember it's key highlights, but slow-mo is one of them.

BURNOUT PARADISE.

the title track says'take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and girls are pretty.'

amazingly there are no girls in the city except your charecter(male or female which you can select according to your wish)

the only thing i found pretty in this city were its bikes.

Don't you guys think the cars looks a bit drab in BPC and I couldn't find bike race in this game. The only thing i can do with bikes is traveling from one place to another in a limited time.

There is not any bike race like cars ( offline mode ) ? or I'm missing something ?

Completed Ninja Gaiden II? Hells no. I completed Chapter 2 after beating Genshin. Now I'm nearly towards the end of chapter with the boss battle of Gigadeath. I have a very long way to go. I'm just holding off all of these game to be played on my Dell monitor when that arrives. It's taking an awfully long time, but at least I'll be able to play it in full HD. Get the game, it's amazing.

Finally completed the Call of Juarez series. I've been playin' CoJ: BiB since July! Awesome western. As I said earlier, it's a spaghetti western movie! Gotta finish Bionic Commando & then it'll only be SHIFT! Darn! Why did Ray have to die?

What the...? You have been using your PS3 on the CRT TV till now? :shock:

Anyway, you're pretty lucky your monitor is HDCP compliant, which is a mandatory requirement for PS3 to work on it. I would suggest you get a HDMI-DVI converter cable. It's available in the market for like Rs.500 and hook up your PS3 to the monitor.

I didn't find the requirement of going to a HD. I have played all of my games on that TV alone. What is the difference ration i can see from my tv.. when i connect to my monitor? 1:50 or 1:100? But you have to believe me it looks stunning even though I am on a CRT television.

If you play it on an LCD and then come back to CRT then you'll know what you're missing out on. It's has nothing to do with the ratio. It's about how clear and sharp the image quality is on an LCD. I'm currently playing my 360 games on my Sony Wega 21 inch CRT as well, but prior to that I used my friend's Samsung 2233 monitor for sometime and trust me, it makes world of a difference. The text is relatively smaller on your TV and you have to squint to get a proper view of it. The characters look insanely small. I know it looks good on a CRT TV, but once you go HD, you won't feel like coming back. Try it and let me know the difference.

Umm... If I have managed to find the HDMI to DVI connector... What would i get? 720p or 1080i? PS3 detects the maximum supported resolution automatically but i am curious to know about it. What is the resolution that 360 recognize on the S 2233?

I hear lot of complaints that only few titles of x360 will run at native resolution of 1080p. And most of them are just upscaled. Is it ture? How many of the titles you have played have native resolution of 1080p?

graphics in SHIFT are much much better than grid, the car models are very good and clear. I feel like the graphics in grid were actually made to look attractive, not realistic, Especially in the track JARAMA(luv that track), the lighting is amazing, but not so realistic...but in SHIFT the graphics may not be that attracitve all the time, but are very realistic, like the environment, clouds:D, and the damage system is just amazing..anyways, shift is really the best racing game ever!! SMS FTW!
