Cool, I'll give it a download and see what all the fuss is about. I downloaded Black Ops last night just to see this "Zombies" thing, and I'm not that impressed. It is just another FPS, nothing really stood out for me. Maybe I'll try the campaign mode later.Notabot wrote:I got Other M for Christmas, and I'm really enjoying it. I thought the controls would be rather wonky when I first heard about them, but it really does work very well.
Took advantage of a used game coupon and picked up 3 games I haven't had the opportunity to play yet: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Resident Evil 5, and Halo 3, all for the 360 (and for $20 total!).
I played a bit of Oblivion last night, and played for way longer than I should have since I had to work the next morning. This games seems like it's going to eat up a ton of my time. Looking forward to playing RE5 & Halo 3 as well, but in due time. I still need to finish Batman: Arkham Asylum & Super Mario Galaxy 2 from my birthday/Christmas...

I picked up Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Ultimate All-Stars from a pawn shop for $15. Great game. Lots of fun even if you have no idea what you're doing. Even more fun once you figure out some basic moves.
(In the same pawn shop trip I got Season 1 of "Mr. T: I Pity the Fool" for $3. The fact that the slipcase has a fabric swatch for his mohawk made it worth the 3 bucks before we even watched any of it!)

I'm playing Mass Effect 2 for the PS3 and the demo to Dragon Age II for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and I already pre-paid for Dragon Age II for both systems.

I found God. Then I lost him. He'll probably turn up down the back of the sofa someday.

Thinking of buying a new game for my PC for the first time in ages, so far tied between 'Dawn of War 2 : Retribution' (The one with all three games in as I haven't played any of them since 'Soulstorm'. Or wait for 'Homefront' which written by John Milius is being marketed as a playable version of the 80's film 'Red Dawn', which is awesome.
I'm tempted by Dragon Age 2, but I never got half way into the first one on the 360, found it too deep and wordy to sit back and play on the console. I wonder if it will translate better on the PC, where I have more of an attention span.
Anyone played it on the PC? How does the control system compare etc?

I want to play Dragon Age II on both my Xbox 360 and PS3 also I had the money at the time, to have them completely prepaid for. Also since I'm on disability and given what is happening over the battle of the Federal Budget that happening right now (and throw in the a very likely possibility of a government shutdown) it seems like it was a good thing that I did.Sixswitch wrote:Why?

No I mean why do you buy the games on two systems? It's a massive waste of money, surely?

Incidentally I played the DA2 demo last night as well. Not too impressed, to be honest. Very similar in play style to the first (which is good), but the characters didn't seem anywhere near as interesting.
Will have to wait and see though - a demo of an RPG rarely presents the whole picture.
