If that wasn't a troll post, I don't know what is.

The Bioshock demo is amazing, I'll definetly get it. My manager was complaining today that his took ages to download like some of you're saying but mine went pretty quickly (well, quickly for a Marketplace download).

I also bought the MCR Guitar Hero 2 song pack. I hate MCR but I'm a sucker for GH2 so I'll pretty much buy any new songs they put out

Am I the only one who hates young Ocelot?

I've been playing loads of Guitar Hero 2 recently, can't wait for Rock Band (GH3 isn't looking too great I don't think, but I'll still get it for the few good songs that are on there), Resident Evil 4 for the Wii, a few XBLA games here and there and Yoshi's Island DS.

What, new? You're a jerk. Was it a special offer or something?

I never understood why Ocelot, a Russian dude, had the most American voice ever.

Nah, man. Kids are just dumb, and sell it for cheap! It's brand new, and the premium! I'm so happy.

Now I don't feel so out of the loop anymore!

I might start playing some Halo 2 but I just don't get the time and my stupid friend, who I play with a lot and only recently got a 360 having never had an Xbox, doesn't own it.

If anyone wants to hook up for some playtime, my gamertag is: Hot Heart
Yeah man, I forgot. Bomberman Live is the sh*t. I've been playing the crap out of that online. Its a blast. Anybody want to play with me?

Me and my sister have been playing Resident Evil 4 for the PS2 lately. This is her 10th round playing it! It's a really awesome game! I love it! I'd say it's the best Resident Evil ever.

WOAH WOAH WOAH!!! You got a 360? That was one hell of a deal, and its about FU*KING time mister. Get your ass online. We've got some gaming to do.

And how about those creepy moments? That crazy lady...talking to her dead "baby" in the carriage? Or the little sister, singing her cute little song while stabbing a corpse in the head over and over again? Christ. Gives me the creeps.

Probably one of the greatest demo's I've ever played.
God, when that plane crashed into the glass, I didn't see it coming. Games usually don't have that kind of interactivity. I just sat there seeing it come down thinking to myself that it wouldn't hit because that just doesn't happen in games, but as it got closer, I though it would just bounce off the glass, but then at the very last moment when there was almost no doubt at what was coming, I was like "MOTHER FU*K" and starting running like crazy just before the thing shattered and the water began flooding the whole pipe. I was actually freaking out too. It was great. I turn off all the lights and shut the door and crank the volume before gaming so none of the atmosphere is lost, so I was totally sucked into it.

That little girl was one of the creepiest things I've seen in a game, if not "the", and Big Daddy made me laugh and cringe at the same time, but I think that first moment where you get a good look at Rapture was the best. Honestly, I love the idea of underwater cities (which is why I defend Star Wars: Episode I in public), but this has to be the most unique and all-immersing environment I've ever seen. Just....wow. The way its presented to you is cinematic, yet you still have control over your viewpoint. Its like a movie and a game at the same time. Never seen anything like it. Possibly GOTY contender here.

Well buy some more loser. That's why I always keep a spare card handy. You never know when Puzzle Fighter will land at your door.

This is my problem...whenever I have points...I spend them, usually on crap I don't need or want. This is especially true on the Wii, where nostalgia will suddenly make me drop 500 points on a completely sh*t game like Excitebike, just because I love the f*cking theme song! GOD DAMN YOU, POINTS!

Don't feel bad. I blew 500 points of fu*king NES Donkey Kong just because I love them theme song. What a waste.

Of course, random spending can also get you some awesome platformers like Dynamite Headdy. Can't believe I almost missed out on that again.

Bought Ecco The Dolphin for XBLA yesterday. I'm really enjoying these Sega Classics on the 360, can't wait for Sonic 2 and SOR2.
