hit the 3rd prestige on black ops yesterday - I want to soldier through as many as possible because I've never got past the 3rd or so on any of the previous.

just beat my first mario game on an n64 emulation. i feel like i'm getting some kind of childhood badge of honor that i missed out on. and it feels great.

such a good game

not really sure what this is all about btw

Here's Trevor Bayne, Daytona 500 winner and youngest driver ever to win that event, learning the laser-scanned Daytona using the iracing.com software :

Playing "Lost in Shadow" on the Wii. Amazing, fantastically playable, has the lushness of Ico

throughout with some superb puzzling and originality.

just ordered sacred 2, maybe good for a weekend or 2.

 

i'm looking for a generic baldur's gate type game that i can play co-op for 360. even arcadey like dynasty warriors. suggestions?

Lol Sacred 2. Incredibly boring single player, even for a loot-whore like myself. Co-op is okay as long as you can tolerate the cheese, glitches and extremely slow character movement. A weekend or two sounds about right.

I just downloaded Dungeon Siege 2, and so far it's a decent game (only about a half hour in).

That's Daytona. It's a track made for 100% gas input, drafting with groups of other cars.

It's not too bad once you figure out what moves actually do the most damage, some of them look flashy but are mostly useless. I figured this out in god of war 3 in hard mode after watching some walkthroughs for crushing mode. I was just using the wrong strategies all together. Once I realized what moves work in what contexts, I progressed a lot faster, now I'm almost done with the game.

EDIT: oh yeah, best buy has a deal for buy 2 get 1 free on greatest hits for ps3 right now -> http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=pcmcat233400050007&type=category

Just finished Killzone 2. Started playing Metal Gear Solid 4 (finally!). :)

demons souls is a good choice, I'd probably grab both uncharted games or just the second one. infamous is fun as well. mgs4 toooooo. Can't speak for all of the games such as ass creed or the ratchet and clank games cause i havn't got around to them yet.

I just pre-ordered Dragon Age 2 and Dungeon Siege 3.

*waiting patiently*

I wished they'd issue a trophy patch for MGS4 so I could have an excuse to play through the game again... Killzone 3 is highly recommended if you just finished 2. Picks right up where 2 left off (sort of).

I'd say Uncharted (1 or 2) - excellent games. I didn't play GoWIII until I finished I and II so I could enjoy the continuing storyline...

Demon's Souls won't be playable much longer (although they did agree to keep the servers running for now) with the sequel coming out by year's end if not early next year.

for anyone who didn't play it back in the day, Beyond Good & Evil HD is now available on Xbox Live, and looks amazing.

I accidently ordered BioShock 2. I loved the first one for its atmosphere so I'll probably enjoy being back in Rapture in the sequel/prequel/whatever.

mehhhh it's not as good as the first one.

I actually bought it because I plan on writing my exam project about the BioShock franchise. I've already written one paper about BioShock and objectivism (Ayn Rand) and I hope this one brings more meta-philosophy to the table.

But non the less another outstanding game.
