How is it Joe? I tend to be skeptical when they give you a beta testing of Gears of War 3 along with it.

It's pretty good. Has a Duke Nukem/Painkiller feel to it.

Beat Bulletstorm yesterday. Decent game the ending is MEH and it only had maybe 8 hours of campaign play but not a bad game. Seemed new and refreshing enough.

Bulletstorm is on my list to get. Right now working my way through Killzone 3. I never realized how much I missed multiplayer fps until I picked this up.

I don't play multiplayer FPS's or really any multiplayer, too darn addicting. That and I really like games with good story lines and single player modes.

Truer words were never spoken multiplayer gps is the most addictive gaming experience I have found. I burned 2 years of my life on Halo 2 back when it first came out. Thankfully now I have a wife and kid to hold me in check :r

I'm at 80 hours for Final Fantasy 13 now. Loving it. The game is totally linear for the first 2 discs, but I've enjoyed it all. Working on a 1000 gamerscore for it.

Tip for Wii users: don't play Mario Kart 150cc Grand Prix with your 20-month-old son in the room. He may pick up phrases like "Ah, dammit!" ;)

There is a demo out of Steam if you want to try before you buy. It's less ambitious than some of there last few games, but from what I can tell they have streamlined it nicely and there have been big improvements on the AI.

I have a pretty good rig and I probably won't be able to max it out. Unless I want to play with 4 FPS :r

Bill86 03-13-2011 05:38 PM

I'll probably wait till Tuesday I'm sure it'll run at least on high settings on my desktop probably not max though.

Really? I know I spent close to 60 hours on it. Haven't picked DA2 up yet, but plan on doing so in the next couple of weeks.

4fps? I'd be lucky to run it at 4 seconds per frame!

I loved Dragon Age. Will be picking up DA2 as soon as I get home from the business trip I am on and have access to a laptop that could actually play it.

I mean DA2 is like 18-20 hours playtime. I'm powering through as a Mage let's see If I can shave a few hours off this second time around.

So I beat Mario Kart 150cc Grand Prix, which unlocks Mirror Mode. Let's just say that the Mirror Mode AI makes 150cc look like a Sunday drive... :r

Okay I correct myself I just powered through DA2 at 16 hours even, ending with a level 19 mage.

played it for about an hour on campaign so far. i love it so far. decent graphics and controls. the storyline is what makes it in my opinion. definately a game where you want to watch the videos as the game progresses not just skip them

I picked up the remastered God of War I and II for PS3. I've never played anything in the series but I have to say God of War is a lot of fun. The boss battles are EPIC.

People skip the storylines in games :confused:

Glad to hear it's a good story line though.

Yeah they are. :tu

You could also try Dante's Inferno...that game has some epic, and very twisted, battles.

I scored a helluva deal last night. We took our nephews out for their birthday and let them pick out a game at Gamestop...well I got a little gift for myself. :D I scored Fallout: New Vegas for $12!! Apparently they priced it wrong, but they honored the price...score for me. :D

What's the word on the street with the new Mortal Kombat that's coming out in April? I've heard they are going back to the original style but I haven't played MK in years so I'm not sure how far it ever really strayed away from that.

They went from Street fighter arcade style to a story mode with levels (at least some of them did). I haven't played a MK game since MK3.

So I've been playing Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I love expansive RPGs. So far I've got 40+ hours in and I'm probably about 3/4 of the way through. Next up I'm going on a hunt for one of the Poe Souls I'm missing...

I read on a review site that the 3D was astounding, and the best out of any game they've played to date.

Now where the hell am I gonna get a 3D TV...

Took a break from Twilight Princess to try out Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. While it was cool to be able to use the wiimote as a lightsaber, the graphics would have been lousy on the PS2. No shading, and small details like patches of grass would just "pop up" out of nowhere as you got close. :td
