I like Dissidia. It gets better the more you play it.

Yeah. I can't dodge Chaos' Divine Judgement attack. Firion is my first main. His bow and arrow is so easy to use from far away.

Need For Speed: Shift – I'm a sucker for decent racing games and right now I'm working on so many side projects that I can't deal with a storyline of any sort lol. Finished Lost Odyssey before that. It was the best RPG I've played on the current generation of systems. Anyone played the new Star Ocean?

Yeah, I played it for a few hours. I was disappointed, but I haven't played enough to form a proper opinion. I do plan on finishing it if I can.

I've noticed you mention Game of the Year editions a few times throughout the year. Maybe they were all in regards to fallout3, I dunno.
But what's so special about Game of the Year editions for games? Do they have extra content in them or something? Or is it just like the old PS2 Greatest Hits type thing, where they just slap a fancy banner across the top of the case and knock it down to 20 bucks?
"Game of the Year" edition kind of implies there's only one, whereas "Greatest Hits" would be plural for all the games they've knocked down in price. Just curious.

The GOTY edition will come with all of the DLC that's been released at $60.

To me, it's just a matter of being cheap and saving money. The original version new (even today) is $60. Each of the five DLC packs that have been released are $10 each. So if you really want everything, by the time you've downloaded Mothership Zeta (the last DLC), you will have spent over $110 on one game.

ahhhh ok. This whole DLC concept is still alien to me. It's weird to think the game is no longer solely on the disc you buy.

yep.

and it's getting worst. Developers are releasing less content on games, and dividing things to charge you more in DLC.

Games are getting very expensive these days.

It'll bite us first before it bites them. 60 bucks is waaaaaaaay too much for a video game extra content or no. But we pay anyway...

I think Microsoft is really spear heading the "let's break one game into two (Halo 2 and 3) and withhold already developed content so we can sell it as DLC and way overcharge for it in a month" racket.

Just go look at the Xbox Originals marketplace. I bought Max Payne 1 and 2 for a total of three dollars and they're selling the games for $15 or $20 apiece. And Bioshock, which I saw going for $10 in the store back in January, is priced at $30 in the marketplace. Not to mention the $20 GTA IV add-ons.

Anyone who has bought anything from the LIVE Marketplace, especially DLC, is a rape victim. Myself included.

Whatever. I'm still going to buy Banjo & Kazooei off XBLA when I can afford it.

$15 is a bargain compared to what some people are charging for a copy of it on Ebay.

Will probably get Trials HD too. That looks fun.

Shit, I have 107gb's of free space now, might as well start filling it up with a bunch of arcade games and useless stuff.

i played little big planet a little bit over the weekend. it was pretty funny, that's an interesting game. it reminds me of earthworm jim or worms even thought there aren't any worms in it. it was a trip playing it. also i played a demo of arkham asylum, which is fun and really cool but it's too easy. so many games these days don't require much skill, they're really just interactive movies.

I am afraid to buy it. No one on my list plays L4D anymore.

Started playing Fallout 3 again. Already cleared it, now I'm just doing the DLC stuff. Operation Anchorage was neat, if only for the prize at the end.

I've also got Magic the Gathering downloaded for the 360. Just messing with it for now though.

Actually it is worse than that. Some DLC is not downloading new content but actually a digital key to unlock things that were on the disk already. Pretty unethical.

i downloaded this game called gunZ last night and i ended up playing it for like 2 hours straight. it's stupid fun, all you do is shoot the shit out of people and run up walls and slice people with swords over and over again. i didn't try the quest mode but the deathmatch is manic fun.

Fallout 3. Love this game despite all it's bugs and problems. Hate how the frame-rate drops when there's too much action going on. It was most apparent when I was following Liberty Prime to the Jefferson Memorial.

Just finished the main quest on Point Lookout. Will finish up Broken Steel next then maybe Mothership Zeta.

Borderlands. I cannot stop playing it. It's driving me insane, in fact, because even when I'm not playing it, I'm still thinking about it while doing other stuff.

Somebody help me.

I feel good about the Prince of Persia movie. I played the game through twice.

It's made by Disney so it can't be any worse than the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels.

Been playing my copy of Tiger Woods '07 that I forgot I purchased way back when I first got an 360.

I kinda suck. Though I'm starting to make more and more birdies and eagles.

I rented Dragon Age: Origins for the PS3. It was O-K, not worth investing 100 hours for me though.

Liked: some of the play mechanics while fighting in a group were well done, for instance while casting a fireball it let's you line up the shot so as not to hit any paryt members. As a whole it looks like they put a lot of work into the game.

Didn't like: despite being made by Bioware the art looks heavily ripped off from Morrowind and Oblivion by Bethesda. The characters are all done by the character editor and look like shit. People wear armor while just walking around and swords just stick to their backs as if they were magnetic.

The story is not terrible but isn't interesting either, pretty derivative and made me not give two shits about the back story. Characters so far have been pretty wooden, annoying, whiny and stupid.

There are a lot of dialogue options but usually only one "right" one. So you have the option of saying "I'm honored to meet you" to King or pretty much telling him to "Fuck Off".

I recently downloaded Sims3 and I'm loving it so far. I was also a fan of the previous games, but it got old 'cause I'd done and seen everything. Now with this new game there's tons of new options, new things and yeah, I'm not even close to being done with exploring it all. [And finally my Sim can have freckles! =P]
