With GTA IV & the upcoming Star Wars The Force Unleashed both using the Euphoria engine to good effect, I thought this trailer may give you a taste of what these console games bring to the table.
Superior to the Ragdoll look, Euphoria can be used just as well in sports games as in 3PS action games.
The futures looking euphoric!

12 years ago my first PC arrived & with it began many years of MMO & single player gaming. Previous to those 12 years, I had the C64 but none of the early consoles of that time.
My gaming has been dominated by the PC since my mid twenties, I have no regrets & even owning a PS2 couldn’t shake the grip of the PC but now, with the arrival of my PS3, the tide seems to be turning & I feel a new gaming period arriving.
The PS3 gives me something that I can never reach with a PC, that is a level playing field. No more game specs to worry about & no more running a game at just the average settings. I buy a game for the PS3 & every other PS3 owner buys then plays the same game.
With the introduction of wireless Internet at home, my PS3 has access to multiplayer gaming & for the first time my online gaming is being taken away from my 2 year old PC.
Maybe there will be some titles that I will want on the PC but I seriously doubt there will be many & the exclusive PS3 titles are starting to look good, with Little Big Planet being a good example.
So as I enter this new chapter in my gaming experience, I have to ask, how many of my readers are considering leaving the PC behind?
Have you already done so?
Am I making a mistake & should I keep up my reporting on PC gaming here at Sweet Flag?

With something of a mini heatwave in the UK, my reading list has got a little quieter the past week since trackback #5. It’s allowed me more time to get on with my freelance writing(I have more good news to come later in the week!) & start hunting down an artist to design a header for Sweet Flag.
Here’s what’s caught my eye…
Gaming Steve has been looking over the rumblings over Spore & DRM(Digital Rights Management)…looks like a number of big game companies are looking to have their noses put out on this topic.
I have been following Daniel Scocco & his Daily Blog Tips for a few weeks now but a guest post, Do You Know Your Visitors? 5 Points to Consider had some valid pointers for any type of blogger. Can see Jesse enjoying the content here…
Tobold deserves a interview with Blizzard, more than any other blogger on the planet but it looks like he’s conceded to the idea that he’s not going to get his chance at the upcoming 2008 Blizzard Invitational. He does have some very good questions that should be asked…

End of trial thoughts.
I have to agree with mbp here, I did enjoy the trial but my concerns were that the trial is more a trap laid out by the MMO to snare your attention into buying the 1st month of game time.
I have my reservations with timed trials & for it to be a fair trial a pause function should be allowed. This would allow players that have yet to decide on a game, the full length of the trial time to make an informed decision. The pressure should be off the player in the trial period & on the game to perform, not the other way round.
My activity in this 21 day trial assumed I could play EVE Online everyday of that trial, to get the most out of it. With the 21 days being concurrent, it allowed no time in those 3 weeks to be away from the game without the feeling that I was missing out.
My life away from the gaming does go on & maybe I just planned this trial at the wrong time. But with such a short window of opportunity, I really think the trial is more a marketing ploy rather than a way to introduce a player to a game.
I suppose it’s just the nature of the beast when it comes to MMO gaming & I am yet undecided on whether to do another MMO trial.
