Should probably get back to Skyrim.

That's a point. I've bought both Skyrim and Dark Souls in the last couple of months and haven't got far with either.

Started playing final fantasy tactics a2 on the DS.

Kind of disappointed about some parts of it, but overall it's fun.

super excited for dark souls coming to the PC, FUCK YES.

When?

I'm enjoying Final Fantasy XIII-2, but good grief, some of the music is just awful.

I followed up on my plans and played Bioshock 2 for a bit this weekend. I forgot how hard Bioshock games are at first, and then how exponentially easier they get once you have upgraded weapons, gene tonics, and plasmids up the ying yang.

A few criticisms about the game. First of all you are a big daddy, but your foot steps sound more boomy and erradic then ever. I get freaked out whenever the game decides my big daddy's leg fell off a curb and decides to rumble my entire screen. I never thought I'd say this, but I actually miss the hacking game from Bioshock 1. This new one makes it so I have to squint and not blink. I also miss the crowbar, the drill is pretty annoyingly jarring and loud to use.

A few good things about this game. The guns in general seem a lot better. I love the fully upgraded rivet gun and the hack tool with the auto-hack and mini turret ammo. I love the improved camera mechanics to switch back to a gun after taking a picture, and its record feature so you can use every plasmid you have. The water sections inside and outside are great. I love that scene where your entire level is being flooded and you are walking backwards against the current.

Overall, the entire game seems like a refined rehash of the old game. Without giving too much away, pretty much every trick that was used on your in the first game will show up in this game. Its more of a glorified expansion pack then a new game.

oh shi

Done :)

Does anyone know any great puzzle games? I am severely missing Tetrisphere and while I try to scrounge up a way to play and an N64, I am looking for more. Anything really fun, graphically stimulating, mind-numbing stuff? Recent loves I played were World of Goo and Geometry Wars (I know I'm behind). What else?

There are a ton of good little puzzle games on the iphone if you have one. Let me know if you do and I'll make some recommendations.

Excellent - Iphone, yes. Or xbox or wii.

Side note - did any of yall play Tetrisphere? It is a truly phenomenal experience.

I feel obligated to mention Portal 2 and Catherine.

Ok - Great! Thanks - I haven't played either of those yet. I loved the first Portal, so I don't know why I haven't picked up the second yet. I hadn't heard of Catherine but a quick search shows it looks pretty unique and really fun as well, might have to go ahead and order that one. Thanks again for the tip. Anyone else?

I just want Max Payne 3 to be released already.

The story and lack of noir atmosphere that dominated the previous titles really threw me off at first, but it got me back on with the videos showing the system and engine. Fucking hell, it looks amazing. I'll most likely scream every time I get bullet time kills. That bullet time kill in Max Payne 2 in the beginning of the hospital. GOD DAMNIT, that was good.

I impulsively sold every game I own and put my xbox on craigslist yesterday.

Alien Hominid for the Playstation 2.

anno 2070 its awesome :)

The things I've heard/read about the animations in this game sounds incredible. I'm pretty psyched as well. But I would have prefered that it was made by Remedy (like everybody else I guess). But Rockstar generally seems to know what they are doing.

how come that?

I don't like how much I use electronic devices and how much time i spend playing games specifically, but I don't have the self-control to just play for half an hour or so, as well as the fact that I really need some extra cash right now so I can get back into school.
