It's not that short actually.
I just bust through games in all nighters.

^Im the same way. I beat both Fable II and Fable III in like...2 weeks, for both. Fable II took a couple days, and Fable III took longer only because I hadn't been playing games too often.

Ah cool, had me worried for a sec that it was turning into a "traditional FPS" for a sec!

Fable III took me about six hours, biggest disappointment for me of 2010.

I wouldn't say it was disappointing. It had it's moments. But Fable II was definitely better than the three games. People like to say the The Lost Chapters was better, I can't say I agree, sure TLC had it's moments, but the difference of gameplay between Fable I and Fable II is like comparing meat and vegetables..

Fable > Fable III > Fable II

I actually felt that BioShock 2 improved on the first game in several key ways (hacking, research) without messing up anything that worked in the first game. The story just wasn't as good.

Infinite should be good.

The story is what I didn't like as much, and that counts a lot.

I will admit, though, the hacking was a hundred times better in Bioshock 2.
I'm definitely looking forward to Infinite, though.


Also, I've spent hours playing X-Men Arcade today.
It's so much fun.

I first played this in 2007 when it had just come out but found it hard to play because of the TV I was using at the time. It was only 13 inches so some of the text and map were hard to read. Now that I've got a much larger TV to use for gaming I am finding that I continue to have the same problems that I had when I first played it and that problem is I am a crappy assassin. It doesn't matter how careful I try to be, I always get spotted right before I try and kill my target and end up having to finish the target off in a duel. I never really had this problem in other stealth games like Hitman: Blood Money or Splinter Cell: Double Agent but I suppose if you strip me of all the cool weapons and gadgets of the 21st century and plonk me in the 12th century Holy Land it's to be expected. Not that the citizens seem too bothered by my actions, but it makes me feel less accomplished. Still the free running is a lot of fun and incredibly exhilarating after you've completed your hit and have to run back to your bureau with crusaders on your ass. I also have a bit more of an appreciation for the story at this later date than I did when it first came out, but I still have no love for the tedious pickpocketing, eavesdropping, save citizen, and observation quests that make up 95% of the game. Still I think I will finish it this time and move on to Assassin's Creed II and eventually that new DLC disguised as a full game.

Assassin's Creed II is truly brilliant and a gem of the genre, like Batman : Arkham Asylum also is. If you think Assassin's Creed is flawed, don't let it put you off trying number two. :)

I've actually gotten part of the way through ACII, but never played the first one cause apparently I lost it. Thinking about picking it up though.

Oh and I found Hitman 2 at least to be way to harder to be stealthy then ACII, not sure about first one though. Hitman was a little TOO hard to achieve the silent assassin rating, even the first mission. Lot's of frustration as a result of that awesome game.

I played and beat the first Assassin's Creed in 07, and honestly, don't remember **** about it.

All I have left in the second AC is to find all of the feathers.
I'll probably do that in the next week.

The beta version of Minecraft comes out on the 20th. :tramp:

On the final playthrough of Bayonetta (Non-Stop Climax).

This game and it's sexual innuendos.

:tramp::tramp:

My friend just did the nicest thing ever and bought me the alpha version for christmas. Which means I get a free update once beta comes out. Hellz yah.

*drools*

That's awesome, how are you liking the game? I've been finding a lot of cool stuff to build on Minecraft Wiki, but I'm guessing you've already discovered that yourself. My friend just built some freaky space trancending portal that takes you to a place called the "nether," it's a hidden world that's basically the Minecraft version of hell :laughing:. I can only imagine what they'll come up with for Beta.

I remember this was one of the first games I got for my 360.

I literally couldn't stop playing it.

I wish I had a PS3. there seems to be so many great exclusives on it. off the top of my head:

metal gear solid
killzone
uncharted
god of war
heavy rain
demon's souls

Metal Gear Solid and LittleBigPlanet are the only reasons I'm really thinking about a PS3.

Metal Gear Rising next year!!!

I just started this too. Feels exactly like what I expected, a futuristic Oblivion.

I just started on Fallout : New Vegas. I hear it's good and I love the previous Fallout 3 where I also got some of the addons, so I excited :D

I'm really enjoying it. I've kind of lightly browsed the wiki but my playing time has been pretty limited the past couple days, so I haven't gotten anywhere close to doing anything fancy. My proudest accomplishment has probably been figuring out how to make iron tools by myself.

And yeah I can't wait for beta. I read he's putting some kind of "adventure mode" in, where it's more about the surviving and exploring than the building. But maybe that's for a later update.

Fallout New Vegas. It's okay, fairly enjoyable but not up to par with Fallout 3.

Waiting for the Fallout: New Vegas add-on tomorrow.

A couple games I'm playing now:

Ninja Gaiden 2 (starting on it again, soon. It's ****ing harrrrrrrrd)
Red Faction: Guerrila
Halo: Reach
Army of Two: The 40th Day (or, as I call it, Army of Two: Two)

I think in terms of gameplay and variety it's better than 3. In terms of art direction, it's massively inferior.

Man, this game seemed good, but ended up feeling completely repetitive to me. I usually finish games, but this one eventually bored me to the point where I just stopped playing it.

Anyone else looking forward to Dead Space 2?

Me! Popular Mechanics ran an article about the baddies in Dead Space 2. Apparently, the Visceral design team went through a bunch of pictures of real people gored and torn to bits to help them design their monsters. They kept their "research" at the office in a carefully stashed folder, labeled "CAUTION: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC"

ick

Ew, that's a little unsettling. Anyways, I thought the first Dead Space was absolutely brilliant. It was such a delicious surprise to find that a game I initially expected to be no more than mediocre had me glued to the screen for hours and hours.

None of my RL friends have played it through though, which annoys me a little :p: I've had noone to discuss it with.

Fresh out of an extended Resident Evil 4 binge, I was sure no other survival-horror game would ever compare in quality. Then I played Dead Space, which was basically RE4 in space. Fantastic score and atmosphere, very solid gameplay, and the most important part, it really made you feel like a survivor, not Rambo blasting through zombies like a hot knife through butter.

I think my main complaint about Dead Space was the lack of boss battles. IIRC, there were two real boss fights (maybe three), including the final boss. Killing the same necromorphs over and over does get tedious, even when the situation is changing. One thing RE4 did exceptionally well was pushing the intense, difficult, and interesting boss battles onto you at the perfect pace.

I had fun with Resident Evil 4, but I much prefer Dead Space actually. Resident Evil 4 with it's many tacky characters and so on just seemed a bit too cheesy and anime-ish to be creepy I thought. Dead Space had more suspense and atmosphere .. and I often felt alone with the monsters in that game if you know what I mean. I love that!

Holy hell.

You don't necessarily have to make it from scratch. You can design those things in a level creator or whatchacallit .. Still fun to see of course :) It's not the only "computer" made in minecraft though.

Oh, I didn't realize Minecraft had a level creator. I was blown away for a while there.

Have to say, the guy's normal furnishings weren't all that impressive though.

There's a youtube vid where a guy has a 1:1 scale USS Enterprise in Minecraft. He must've been able to import the model to the minecraft level creator from some other program I'm sure, but how it's done I don't know.

I just looked that up. And I have no idea what to think. Except that it's pretty impressive.

the story is complete garbage. I am replaying it on the Wii(originally played it for gamecube). I much prefer the wii controls to the sticks for it. I skip every cutscene/dialogue.

What is the best class of WoW to start off as, as a noob? I'm thinking either Hunter or Mage...

I'm not a vet but I think, if you're going to be playing solo mostly, hunter and rogue are good options.

Classes I liked that I thought were fun and easy to solo with were Hunter and paladin :)

The hunter is ridiculously easy to play after a while. Any hunter is like a small team. It's a pet class where you tame pets that follow you and fight for you, so in any fight, your pet will do the tanking which means it'll be the one up close to the enemy taking the damage. The hunter will be a little distance away, doing damage and healing their pet. So, you have a tank, healer and damage dealer, all in one character. At the same time it's easy, there's enough going on to keep it interesting so it's a fun class to play in my opinion. In groups, they always fill the basic role of damage dealers.

Paladin is also fun if you like to be up in monsters faces. Since they have healing, they can take quite a bit of beating and they're able to fill all team roles (healer/tank/damage) which may be attractive at some point. However, being a tank/healer in groups when you're a complete newb may be a little more intimidating than simply playing a dps class.
