It legally came out yesterday. I'm going to pick it up on Friday. I got Farcry 2 last week, so I gotta wait for the next paycheck.

I updated my PC yesterday for Fallout 3 (which should show up today). In the meantime, to try out my new rig, I bought Bioshock off Steam (finally) for $20. Damn, that game is pretty fun too. My computer has been so outdated, I've missed out on all the good PC games for about a year or so.

JonnydaJibba 2008-11-03 10:19 AM

Fallout is amazing. Bye.

Nick Koan 2008-11-03 10:21 AM

Quite. I've been playing it as much as possible, and losing sleep over it.

JonnydaJibba 2008-11-03 10:23 AM

Let's compare how much sleep we have lost shall we? What level are you? I'm at 9 and 12 hours in. I haven't been able to play as much as I want though. Stupid life and real world obligations.

Nick Koan 2008-11-03 10:36 AM

I'm level 10 at about 12 hours of playtime also :lol:

But yeah, I'm mostly playing between 10pm - 1am after my girlfriend goes to sleep.

Dewey 2008-11-03 10:38 AM

I've played Fallout, and its AWESOME. I have yet to be anything other than amazed with Bethesda's games. However, I have decided that I can't spend any more money.. on anything.. until I can afford to. (I will probably buy Diablo 3, even if i have to sell something valuable to purchase it :D )

Kunikos 2008-11-03 08:06 PM

I've been replaying Baldur's Gate II: Shadow of Amn with Throne of Bhaal installed, and a whole mess of Gibberlings 3 mods installed. Right now I'm getting my ass handed to me trying to kill the beholder lair under Athkatla.

tysonK 2008-11-03 10:04 PM

I'm getting Resistance 2. I hope I like it, or I'll just get bored, leave it sitting on the shelf, and watch movies on my PS3 instead. No real big loss I guess, but still I hope it's at least fun.

Is the game Eve online any fun? Opinions please, have some time to kill and looking for thoughts.

Bob Danger 2008-11-04 05:25 PM

I started playing Fallout yesterday. I got angry and killed everyone.

van 2008-11-04 05:48 PM

Any of you hardcore gamers play little big planet yet? I need a good game for me and my son to play, he"s getting bored with gt4 and I won't let him play warhawk anymore.

Nick Koan 2008-11-04 05:52 PM

I played it for about a day before Fallout 3 came out.

Its quite fun, in a cutesy kind of way. Depending on your kid, he may think its too "childish" and not like it, but I think its fun. It's bascially a physics engine driven platformer, and supposedly the level editor is the best part about the whole game. I'd recommend giving it a shot, its a ton of fun.

van 2008-11-04 06:03 PM

he's 3

100_Percent_Juice 2008-11-04 06:07 PM

If you have a 360 you should get the new viva pinata game. Its addicting as hell and kids love the animals. I borrowed it from my little sister and for some reason I am now hell bent on getting all the achievements.

Ah, if he was like 10ish, I was thinking he might say something like "I'm a growed up now dad, I don't want childish games"

I think he'll like Little Big Planet.

I've got 20 years on that kid and I think LBP is awesome...

Little Big Workshop.

Its like sketchup for your Little Big Planet ideas.

M3n2c3 2008-11-05 10:18 AM

I'm on break at work, but I feel compelled to summarize my view on the current releases - mostly because everyone's just talking about Fallout 3 and LBP, and nobody's said anything about a few of the other big titles.

Ok, Fallout 3. Great game, yadda yadda. Everyone's playing it, so everyone knows how good it is. Although I do think there's a teensy bit too much gore in VATS combat. Decapitations get old after the 100th time.

Little Big Planet. . . I actually haven't played it. I passed it up so I could buy a copy of Bioshock for PS3 instead. I love Bioshock, so I don't regret the choice. I may request LBP for xmas, though.

Fable II. The actual title of this game should be something like, "The Real Fable 1." It's a good game, but it's so similar to the original in every way that it comes off feeling sub-standard when compared to other current-gen titles, particularly in terms of visuals. It's odd. I like the game because it's Fable, but compared to other new titles it's best described as, "meh, this is what they said the first one would be." It feels old already.

Tomb Raider Underworld (demo). Prompted me to cancel my reservation. I really liked Legend, but this feels like an odd step backwards. I may still pick it up when the price drops.

Mirror's Edge (demo). Three words: O. M. G. If they can maintain the quality of gameplay, level design, and presentation all the way through, this may actually rival MGS4 for my choice of game of the year.

And this one's old news, but I also picked up Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on PS3. Wow, talk about production values. Great gameplay and cinematics, unlockable bonus videos and artwork, and extra gameplay tweaks for re-plays. Naughty Dog really knows how to give you the most for your $60.

Nick Koan 2008-11-05 10:21 AM

Uncharted is awesome.

I kinda feel the need to replay it for trophies now :lol:

M3n2c3 2008-11-05 10:23 AM

That's why I double-dipped on Bioshock. I was going to replay it anyway, and I figured I'd go for the trophies. :D

Double Phister 2008-11-05 12:57 PM

I'm still working on RockBand2. I've been play LBP in between until I get annoyed with some of the controls.
