The whole 'save bullets in order to survive' approach seems pretty cool.

i can already picture TRIPLE TAP (X) TO KICK THE DUDE INTO THE PIT flashing in huge font on the screen.

Kingdoms of Amalur demo... I have mixed feelings, mostly good though.

Oh, it's already out. Need to check it out.

Fuck, my computer won't run it. Asshole.

It's certainly not the groundbreaking uber-awesome game the devs want everyone to think it is, but it'll still be a breath of fresh air for me. Combat is solid, world is bright and colorful and there seems to be tons of loot. Quests are okay, definitely nothing new there, though. Kill 20 of these, give this person a potion, go get this item from this cave for me... my only real complaint is the writing, but I loathe RA Salvatore with a passion, and think he's only a mediocre writer (at best) undeserving of all the praise he gets. But I'm playing for combat and loot, not writing.

The demo is also buggy as fuck, but according to the devs, it was built separately off of a version of the game from like September, at EA's request, so most of their bugfixes didn't make it in... but the issues have apparently been fixed.

Fotonica. A 3six recommendation.

Cor, haven't played that in months - got hooked on it before so forced myself to stop playing it for a while !

Finally got around to beating the BF3 singleplayer campaign.

Quite enjoyable for a military shooter. I usually don't like the singleplayer in these games.

Tried the demo when I got the email(pc version). Kept having graphic problems, if I hit escape and went into my options to change settings, if I tried to return to the game I would get crazy graphic anomolies. I ended up uninstalling because it forced me to keep recreating a character every time I had to reload the game. I liked what I saw though, and supposedly this game will lead up to a mmo.

Maybe i'll try the demo on xbox, but I prefer pc.

Man, the story.plot behind Vault 11 in F:NV is one of the best video game experiences I have ever had. Ever. Seriously, for anyone that's not interested in playing it, read this:

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault_11

Its such a perfect dystopian story Im convinced the Fallout writers ripped it off.

Man I wish my comp could run Fallout 3 and NV. Fallout 3 RUNS, but laggy as hell.

Mars Matrix

and other dreamcast shumpus like Ikaruga--with ex-voto <3

just finished Uncharted 3 and now on to god of war 3.

Arkham City

Not really liking it, I'm forcing myself through it right now. Everybody seems to love it for some reason.

It's not bad by any means. But it's just not that good either.

I've too stayed away from it for those very same feelings - it just doesn't look fun. I've watched people play it, and it just seems like a repetitive brawler - nothing too exciting in my book.

Trying to get the last few Protoons on Rayman Origins - those speedrun trophies are brutal!

And strangely enough, went back to Hot Shots Golf 5 for PS3 - hadn't played in years, but is still fun as hell, despite being 4 years old now. Wished they'd come out with a trophy patch for it (I'm looking at you too, Metal Gear Solid 4) - I'd play the hell out of it again if there were Trophies to get.

I beat the game yesterday with a 185.5% completion. I really loved it, even more than Super Metroid!

Now playing Kingdom Hearts for the first time.

playing stalker: shadow of chernobyl. i love it! it takes a bit to learn the mechanics because the game sorta throws you in without any help, but it's really fun once you get going.

Microsoft's "next gen" successor to the 360, coming out fall of 2013, will have a graphics card you can buy right now for $79. What a joke. PC > Console gaming.

If you believe everything you read online...

Six times the processing power of the Xbox 360? That sounds like a lot.

But only 20% more powerful than the forthcoming Wii U. And the Wii U is just going to be as powerful as the current Xbox 360, if i'm not mistaken.

I'm confused.

I think we should blame the succes of the Wii if Microsoft/Sony ain't going to spend alot of money on upgrading their next consoles.

Most I've got is about 215%, but it is possible to get way over 400% - http://www.execulink.com/~maggi/wbw/

I'm having the busiest spell at work (potentially in my entire life).

And for whatever reason, I opened up Dark Souls again last night, started a character, rang the first bell, and went to sleep. I really wish I understood what was wrong with me.
