... Anybody psyched?

you don't even know!
I busted out my old D2 to get ready for D3, but can't find my SC...
I love me some startcraft.

Could've gotten that.
Got this instead.


YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Was going to play it today, but I lost my fucking Nunchuk. Fuck me, right? Had to borrow one from a friend.
Tomorrow is Mario day.

I want SMG2 so freakin bad.

Lost planet 2.

Fucking sucked. That is all.

Back to finishing FF13, which also kinda sucks but I've got a sickness that requires I beat every game I play.

Its awesome.
If you liked the first one, you'll feel right at home.

It's been delayed until "Late 2010" by Sega, but damn, Sonic 4 looks lovely:

Here's hoping Sega puts the extra time & effort into getting this right.

Can't wait to play RDR, hopefully it's coming next.

Though there was an interesting article about it on kotaku this morning:

I'm sure rockstar isn't alone, all the big boys do it. Gaming has become to profitable an industry to NOT have something like this go on

Been playing for almost 20 hours. Definitely Grand Theft Auto set in the old west. Also reminds me of Fallout 3 and ES4:Oblivion.

But actually, kind of boring and not as much to do as in GTA3/4.

Very good graphics, engaging voice acting, wide open sandbox world.

Tag's rating: 8.5/10

I'll second this!

I got rdr and Mario Galaxy 2 on the same day and i've been putting a lot more time into rdr. Plus the soundtrack is amazing! It's done by members of Friends of Dean Martinez which is like a spaghetti western version of Tortoise. They use e-bow's on steel guitars

I want that soooo bad!!! I need more time to play videogames and a spare $50 dollars, and I'm on it!

SMG1 was amazing, but I hear this is better in every way...and it looks more Mario-y than ever too! Colors! Yoshi! Space! So cool.

Bad Company 2: Mreh.

Great article on Kotaku about open spaces, violence, and horses.

...and if you have no idea what shadow of the colossus is, GET OFF YOUR ASS (or get on your ass) AND PLAY IT!
One of the greatest games I've ever played.

My xbox broke down and microsoft is a big, ol' beyotch, so I took all my games to GameStop and got some new PC jammers.
Picked up Alpha Protocol, C&C 4, Left 4 Dead 2 (finally), and pre-ordered APB.

I've heard a lot of junk spoken about Alpha Protocol, but, after getting used to the gameplay, I'm enjoying it a good deal.
