@japanesetalk.bsky.social I have a good grasp of the grammar, can read Hirigana/Katakana and working through N5 Kanji, but do you have tips on how to start learning actual vocabulary that isn't just memorizing an Anki deck?

Hello PlayStation 3 fans, it's been a while. Too many heatwaves in the UK this summer to dare put the console on. I've been playing some Lord of the Rings games for the upcoming issue.

Thats a Platinum Trophy on Murdered: Souls Suspect. OK it's an easy one to get, but still satisfying.

With 007 First Light releasing at the end of the month, another small plug for the Bond games on PlayStation 3 playstation3forever.com/issues/issue...
James Bond games on the PlayStation 3
Bond console games used to be a big deal. The PlayStation 3 managed 4 titles before production suddenly came to a stop. We look at all 4 and pick our favorite.

I love Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 but I really wish it didn't have a missable trophy that I only realise 30 hours in and to get it requires a complete second playthrough!

Looking at the stealth games for PlayStation 3 the only one I could see that I didn't own was Thief (2014). Apparently it has terrible FPS dips on the PS3 but when has that ever stopped us before!

I've been playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 which is an astonishingly good and fun game but it's given me the itch to go and play some Stealth games too. It's got me thinking about Stealth games on the #PS3

In issue 7 we looked at the launch titles - were they really that bad? playstation3forever.com/issues/issue...
Were the Launch Titles Really That Bad?
At launch the PlayStation 3 had a reputation for not having the most interesting library of games. I look back at the launch titles to see if that was a fair assessment.
