I did the whole SI deal about two weeks ago, I got my first issue of SI and still no Madden. I emailed them yesterday and they said they haven't been able to keep up with the demand. They said my game will get here in about 10 business days.

Toys r Us had a great deal on Batman: Arkham Asylum the other day (worked out to about half price)...so I picked it up. Graphics are amazing, and it's fun. Reminds me a little of Bioshock in that you really get connected to the story and the environment. Enjoying it quite a bit for picking it up on a whim.

Just an update to that Batman thought-- great game. Really cinematic and a lot of fun. Best I've played since Bioshock.

I have been playing that today my brother just picked it up. Agree 100%. The new madden is decent, I won't get a real feel for it until I get my X-Box live hooked back up.

NEw nazi zombies map has been fun, but the highlight (besides the weapons upgrades) is definitely Nikolai. One of the best video game characters ever.

First video that plays is a new one, Capture the Flag.

Beat Fallout 3. Still have a bunch of side missions to do, but overall it was pretty cool RPG. My fav. part of the game was when you entered the virtual reality world. That to me was amazingly well done. Of course post apocalyptic setting was awesome as well. still think Fable 2 > Fallout 3. I need a new game...

Can't go wrong with the new Batman game.

i guess being good at video games 10 years ago doesn't correlate to being good these days because i get smoked every time i try to play someone online in madden.

mussa · September 15, 2009, 12:29:21 PM

yeah i might trade in my games for either madden or batman. im thinking batman, since i'll prob beat it and then trade it back in for either madden or new call of duty in november. still get good value for the batman in a month or 2. madden also

Seabiscuit36 · September 15, 2009, 02:15:02 PM

SunMo · September 15, 2009, 02:22:48 PM

i'll probably trade ncaa for nhl
