Why don't you start playing serious games? I bet none of these even have swearing.

jeez, how much did Mother set you back? I still remember the cocktease of ESRB rating Earthbound for rerelease, then nothing.

btw the net is abuzz that World Of Warcraft is a Wii U eshop launch title and the first console version.

Pff, yeah and Super Metroid can be clocked in well under 3 hours - You really should play some serious games.

Super Metroid is serious shit, don't take it lightly

That was a joke.

and now it's ruined

And don't even get me started on Dark Souls, less than 90 minutes from start to end ?! Pur-lease ... I've thrown up more serious entertainment - http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/16/dark-souls-speed-run-is-a-tour-de-force-of-tolerance/

Go only serious game

You all bring dishonor

Has anyone played the dawnguard DLC for Skyrim, is it worth the money?

one of my friends is re-booting the worms franchise. and it looks great!

looks good ! i'm always up for a new worms game.

Been having a lot of fun racing in Dirt 3 again, beautiful game, perfect blend of arcade and simulation.

Saw that Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit was on sale for 11.99, snatched that shit up, just finished installing. Very arcade, super intense multiplayer crazyness, it might be the funnest racing game I've ever played. I love how it's slightly influenced by the drifting and style of Outrun. I'm really pumped to play it again, when my friend got it on Xbox I had borrow it a few times, pretty rare that I ever fiendishly need to borrow a game from a homie.

50 bucks is a lot to put into a game you already bought for me. Can't imagine paying subscriptions on MMOs but, I'm not too mad at myself that I bought Battlefield 3 Premium, lotta content for 50 bucks. The Close Quarters update and the new game type is awesome.

God Hand is probably the best half-assed game I have ever played. Very underrated game.

Thank gods I finally got a machine good enough to play Skyrim. Elder Scrolls makes me feel all warm and mushy inside.

And goddamn this game is FUN. Only problem (not really a problem) is that the shadows are a lumpy mess even on ultra quality.

you can adjust the settings if you have an nvidia card to make the shadows pretty.

or you need to update your drives. when i first played Skyrim my lighting was really funky. i updated my drives and boom. the lighting was perfect.

The shadow mapping in Skyrim can be quite blocky on long shadows, like those cast by terrain of buildings when the sun is low. There are some tweaks around to reduce this by simply reducing the maximum shadow map stretch distance, but this has obvious downsides as well. What bothered me too is that you can see the shadows transition very clearly every 5 seconds or so to update the day cycle. This can be tweaked to do the shadow updates continuously. Enabling SSAO in the Nvidia control panel is nice for most situations, but you can get some unwanted dark shadows in large caves with a lot of atmospheric effects.

I got my PS3 back so I'm playing some Dragon's Dogma. Flawed but very neat game. It should make babies with Skyrim.

I am currently playing Batman: Arkham City. I like the game a lot, but I am a bit disappointed that it's fairly different from Arkham Asylum. The whole open world, freeform gameplay just doesn't feel quite as fun, and there are too many side quests that take you away from the main game. I don't know, it's just frustrating to me.

I hope they've used all that time to build a next-level engine or summat

god dammit la noire. I lost my first arson case. I thought it was varley for sure. wtf?

Finished a lot of games recently

Batman: arkham Asylum - Great story, fun combat - the open world thing seems mostly wasted though but it does look gorgeously grim.

Max payne 2 - so much fun and so much frustration, save at the wrong point? fuck you, run out of ammo? want more painkillers? fuck you. haha

Alan Wake - Damn this game was good if a bit samey along the way but i liked that they focused on specific things and nailed them instead of trying to do too much and failing. Will play the follow up soon...alan wake overload atm.

Bastion - 2nd playthrough on NG+, shit is amazing, dat voiceover, dat story, dat soundtrack, dat combat. easily in my top 5.
