A good summary of BF3

Jeez! Did that jet deliberately kamikaze just to try to take out the chopper?

Without spoiling the game too much, this is by far the best thing about the end credits of Arkham City:

Haven't bothered with the challenge maps etc just yet, still going through the side missions in Story mode after finishing the main story.

Yes, it's also my favorite tactic
I'm horrible at flying so my entire air vehicle strategy revolves around "I have a 95% chance of dying anyway so I'm going to hit them with everything in one pass".
"everything" being my plane. If there's something in the way then I will just strafe them and either find a new target or smash into them in the open. There's a move you can do where you fly by a helicopter so closely that it blows them around. Sometimes they drift into objects. Those times are hilarious.

I don't actively go for jets but if nobody on our team's using them then I'll do this. I'm much better in a tank or on the ground. The video is just so perfect though, it's a little window into the magical world of BF3, complete even to the weird physics on the broken helicopter tail.

UNCHARTED 3 - SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD

I'm prepping for the Skyrim release. I'm glad FIFA12 is shit. Looks like 2012 I'll be playing non-sports games for once ;D

I think FIFA 12 is an improvement over 11 in many ways.

But the AI still has a long way to go, they're absolutely useless when playing the as your virtual pro

I've only played 1 FIFA game ever. I think it was FIFA 10. It was the worst game I ever played in my life. I'm not exaggerating. I can't believe it was ever made. Again - not joking. I can't even wrap my mind around how bad it is, or that people actually play it.

[Achtane]

I still refuse to play anything other than International Superstar Soccer '98
Goalie rushing across the field to score? Sure, why not?

Anyone remember the FF Legend games? It had some pretty cool tunes for the hardware, though the mechanics of the game were kinda confusing. But hey, you make an entire party of ROBOTS, which was pretty rad.

[GardenoftheDead]

The Final Fantasy Legend games were interesting to say the least.

They have kind of a bad reputation but I thought they were passable.

[huggernaut]

Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It's cool. And Yellow.

Seriously other than a few minor frustrations (bad boss fights) this shit was REALLLY good.

[Gunner Recall]

MW3 Shipped.

Still working my way through Deux Ex, taking forever since I'm going no kill/sorta stealth (but still knocking out everyone I come across for extra xp )

[behndy]

i don't preorder games, but my little brother paid off MW3 for a birthday giftie thing. gonna pick it up tomorrow...... and probably not play it much this week because my grrL's in town. looking forward to it though.
