Wipeout HD
Today is a good day to own a PS3. Wipeout HD has finally been released, and it is awesome. The motion controls are solid, the graphics are solid, the soundtrack is solid, the game modes are solid, the online play is solid...
It's been since 1999 that a Playstation console (excluding PSP) has had a good version of Wipeout, which was Wipeout 3. W3 is still eminently playable, as it was a benchmark for its time. The problem was the Wipeout Fusion on the PS2 failed for several reasons. It had its good points, such as zone mode and generally good graphics in-game. But on the whole, it just failed to satisfy.
Anyway, that's all water under the bridge now. After two successful versions of Wipeout on the PSP, Studio Liverpool has returned to the big console in a big way.
At $22, it's very hard to get better value than you get with this game. I could easily have forked $60 for a Bluray disc of this game and I'd still be happy. Actually, I think I'd prefer that to permanently taking up 1 GB of space on the PS3's hard drive.
I'm going to go race some more now.
