Lair on PS3

Said to come out in July, Lair looks like the killer app the PS3 desperately needs.

And man is it gorgeous looking.

I secretly loved Drakken for the PS2 back in the day and this looks like a similar concept on next-gen steroids.

Watching through those videos I can't honestly say I was impressed at all. Apart from the water/ocean/lake effects, a lot of the graphics seemed sub-par, almost going back to Panzer Dragoon which, in this day and age, with this platform, is pretty bad indeed. The 'dragon's breath' fer instance with it's repeated 'fwoosh! fwoosh! fwoosh!' reminded me of Afterburner, than something the PS3 should be able to do. Fighting troops, it looked like, was a pretty cumbersome affair. You'd expect a dragon to be able to mop up those bastards an army at a time but, from the movies, looked like you had to fight one or two troops, then another two, etc. Not impressed.

Still waiting for a Wipeout. Nothing else has swayed me in the PS3's library. Lair seems to suffer from the same blandness Resistance did, and all reports are saying the 6axis support is rather janky, with no option to just use the stix.
