SH*T GETS RUSTY
ALL DOORS ARE LOCKED

Joel, I see you playing Red Dead Redemption

Don't even deny it!

Ha, shame my brother sold it...I really should've nabbed it off him and given it a try.

Ah well, onto GOW II. Been a while...
Also, need to work on Assassin's Creed. Was majorly stuck in that game...

I'm sure it's the setting that's not everyone's cup of tea, which is probably why your friends might not have liked it. This is coming from someone who was unable to finish any GTA due to boredom.

Agreed on all points here. I haven't quite noticed any irritation or bugs in the gameplay though. I absolutely love all of the GTA series, although 4 is the definite low point, it seems like the producers forgot how to make a game fun with that one.

The multiplayer is fantastic too, will be spending a lot of time on that with friends over the coming weeks.

No doubt Red Dead looks gorgeous, but how much actual fun it is to play will still hinge on which individual is playing it. Take a chance and rent the damn thing. That's what I'm going to do with Alpha Protocol. And the reviewers hated that one.  Yeah, I no longer read Gamespot reviews because all they do is whore themselves out to hype and production value. That said, I still hear good things about Red Dead being interesting beyond being well-produced (which Fallout 3 was not).

Every game of theirs I've played is so buggy, I wonder how it even got through beta testing.  Yes they're buggy but the games themselves are usually pretty good. Absolutely true of AP. It's quite buggy, though some tweaks allow for significant improvement. Some fuzzy design choices with the mouse hurt as well, though I may be somewhat sheltered from that by my G9.

Got a point there.  I usually love their games, but at the same time, they're usually glitchfests as well.  I blank them out.  If it doesn't interfere with gameplay, I don't mind too much

^ Really? Wow. Didn't you say you were a MGS fan? For you to say that about Read Dead, the story MUST be great. 

I went into a GameStop today and spent a good 20 minutes trying really hard to find a game worth its money for the XBOX 360. I came out empty handed. No, I am not going to pay $54for a used game with a 12 hour story and nothing original. Die in a fire. I thought about getting Fallout 3, because Bethesda and I are bros since Morrowind, but the add-ons would push it to $50+. Then I thought about getting Silent Hill Homecoming, but then it was $17 used and everyone says it kind of sucks. Welp.

Games = one diamond in a pile of deceptive quartz.

Im playing Dragon age: Origins, and i like it.

Beat GOW II

My brother and best friend have been raving about
Demon's Souls ever since it came out. Thinking of picking it up, any one played?

Also thinking of buying Borderlands.
