My biggest problem is that, typical to all Rockstar games, it has horrible horrible pacing. The game is full of peaks and valleys and it keeps going way longer than it should. It has spectacular moments and moments so bland they're nearly sleep inducing.

Like I said, it really set the tone and kept you pumped during the shoot-outs. But can you honestly remember what you heard? It's no Mario or Zelda, but it was good for the time being. The music was impactful to the experience (especially in the later parts), but not outside of it.

And Red Dead was awesome!
My point being that I disagree - the music was the most memorable aspect for me.

I wish I could agree with you and the rest of the world when you say Red Dead is awesome. I can see it has a lot going for it, but I've bought the game twice and just couldn't stick to it either time. The problem is mine.

Sure. There were a few points in the game I could have done without. If it was just a few hours shorter, the experience would have been even sweeter. I am ready for the game industry to reach a point where not every game needs to be sixty dollars and dragged out to a 12 hour length to justify that price. Seems we are slowly heading that way, thanks to releases such as Journey, or even Minerva's Den.

Well I finally broke down and bought Batman: Arkham Asylum. I kept putting it off as it didn't sound like the kind of game I would like. I love Batman but it's just not my style normally. Oh my gosh I was wrong. I love it. It is an amazing game.

Let's see how you feel after one or two of those 'boss battles'.

Have that game on sonic mega collection plus. It frustrated me too but it is so addictive to play. Dr Robotnik Mean Bean machine is also very addictive. Have you played it before? You might like it too.

Sonic Mega Collection is what I was actually playing that game on. And you are right, I do like Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. That one is quite fun.

Cool ! I won Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine on easy. Still trying to beat it on hard. Did you unlock comix zone yet? I just don't know how to unlock it.

I still haven't beat it on easy yet. What level are you stuck on when playing it on difficult? I don't know how to unlock it either! I think I'll end up looking it up.


Anyways, I've been in a Pokemon lately, so I am playing Leaf Green.
Man I forget how much of a jerk Gary is in that game.

Speaking of hard as hell games, I finally beat Castlevania Chronicles today.

I've never been so pissed at playing a game in a long time.
