Mario Galaxy 2: Fun enough. Felt like a rehash of the first galaxy and mario 64. Some seriously fun levels mixed with filler and very few new ideas.

What if classic video games had super-easy mode:

Dammit! Now I'm going to have to buy a PS3. I've been holding out as long as possible.
Shadows of the Colossus is one of my all time favorites of all time too! Probably makes the Top 5 list.

Red Dead Redemption: Pretty fun so far...I like the old west take on the sandbox genre, and there are interesting parallels to the current state of the US.
Alan Wake: Installing now.

...and DEAD RISING 2 is out!!!!

:lol:


That was great. My favourite was the Contra one, where Red Falcon is just chillin'. I like the idea that side-scrolling games are cyclical or annular or whatever, and that you can get to the last level by simply walking backwards.

Good one.

Alan Wake: One of the greatest surivival horror games of the past decade.
It's Stephen King meets Resident Evil with bits of the twilight zone and alone in the dark mixed in :lol:

I finished it an hour ago and I still haven't come down, it really instills a feeling of terror and dread :omg:

Anybody else love digging into their games cabinets when bored and rediscovering your favourite games.

Heck yes, it is. I don't know how many times I've argued with my friend that Thief 3 is a shining light in stealth games.

I've been revisiting FarCry 2 over the past couple days. Put about 7 hours into it so far. I can safely say it's my favorite single-player FPS.

But all the fun is in the online play. I've got a handful of games I need to finish, but every time I go to fire up the Xbox I think "well I could just play some MW2 online!" That stuff's like crack!

i don't play online, so i only enjoy the singleplayer :)

right now i'm working on finishing Commandos 2 and the MW2 just got me unprepared :lol: the next will probably be the Dead Space (for the second time, but without the advantage of finishing the game, because my HDD with my saves burnt) :)

Modern Warfare 2 / Star Craft 2 and Red Dead Redemption have been the games I have been playing for the past couple of months. Street Fighter is always a given for me. I have a TI stick :joy:

Red Dead Redemption is really boring because I have never been a fan of Rock star games there is some charm but its not rubbing me the right way.

Come Christmas I will get into Bioshock because the preview for Bioshock infinite looks amazing.

I'm still not playing anything but Starcraft 2 and the occasional SF4 when playing w/ friends.
I really want a dark templar key chain, even though I hardly use em, they're like the iconic SC unit for me <3
