I got into the Lego Universe beta, so I was chexing that out. Pretty rawesome, actually.

Also, perpetually playing Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2. I'm on my...4th DA play-through and I think my 3rd for ME2. LOVE BIOWARE!

FFXIII has stepped in the RPG space right now, though.

I'm done with X-Men the Official Game. So I started Batman Arkham Asylum and DAMN, this is the best Batman Game ever. I just can't put the control down!

Of course it is. Not many good Batman games out there.

I tried. I really tried, but God Heavy Rain is terrible. Its essentially a choose your own adventure book with pretty graphics. I feel no emotional connection with the characters. They just seem like a bunch of wandering idiots, and the actors are so terrible. Was it so expensive that they couldn't hire actual Americans to voice American characters? Rotate the control stick in a reverse shoryuken pattern to stand up. Shake the controller to go through menu options. Hold down X + [] + O to take a piss. God, its so slow and moronic. None of the story is actually interesting enough to actually move you or make you think about your actions and how they dictate the future. Its a glorified choose your own adventure book with no guidance. Do they really think I'm going to play this multiple times to see all the different routes the story can take?

Maybe its the action gamer in me, but I just have no patience for it whatsoever. Its called a Video "Game", not "Hold down every button on the controller to perform every day life actions and hope something cool will happen." Selling it and waiting for Just Cause 2.

And can somebody please agree with me that Bioshock 2 is a steaming pile of sh*t?

Err, you played the demo, didn't you? What were you expecting? o_O

It was kind of the same effect on me. I think the story is pretty decent, but I didn't find the game believable in the least. The voice-acting was, at times, HORRID. Which automatically kills any believability for me. Also, yeah...the whole spend 10 minutes pressing buttons to perform mundane actions...Jesus. Kill me.

Also, I fully agree that Bioshock 2 is crap.

You're dumb.

I thought Bioshock 2 was a better game technically but I couldn't really give a sh*t about what was happening so it went down more than a few notches. I still haven't beat it so maybe there's some grand retardation that I haven't hit yet.

You can't speak when 75% of the games you play are trash.

Uhmm Halo 3, Gears of War 1 and 2, Army of Two, Kane and Lynch, Resident Evil 5, Left 4 Dead, GTA 4, Saint's Row, Rainbow Six, etc, are way better than Bioshock so yeah I can speak. And don't talk if you don't know all the games I have

I have a sh*t load of games, don't know if I'm going to keep some right now but I'm just getting through some right now as quick as possible. Except Batman Arkham Asylum that game is badass.

Tool. Bioshock was one of the most compelling games of this whole generation. I was enthralled from start to finish. The sequel though is a complete disgrace where story is concerned, and that's what drew me into the game in the first place.
