No burritos but SD is dead on about the game...it's pretty kickass

Great game but even with the waypoint thingy on the map it's hard finding entrance points to places and figuring out what your objective is at times. I find myself googling a lot of shtein rather than roaming aimlessly around Arkham City.

I've had to google more shtein than I care to admit, but I still think it's a great game.

First person shooters can go farg themselves so no Modern Warfare for me and the only GoWs worth a shtein are the God Of War games.

Amen.

What the hell was there to Google in that game, tho?

A couple of the riddler trophies, where the second stupid body was in the deadshot sidequest, a couple of other little things I can't remember and probably could've figured out if I was more patient/less stoned

False Sir! FALSE!

Skyrim's out now. Certainly looks a lot better than Fallout 3, New Vegas, and especially Oblivion. Combat is still full of accidentally dismembering friendlies, though.

So about Skyrim looking nice.

I just picked skyrim up.   I never played the others but just spent an hour creating an orange haired orc.

Skyrim looks dope.

I have too many addictions to add that one to the list.

The map pack that gears released goes to Multiplayer on Thanksgiving, and they're also releasing two more maps for free, from Gears 1....Bullet Marsh and Clocktower

I am def diggin on Battlefield 3. It's refreshing to have a new FPS game to learn and get good at rather than do the same thing year after year ala COD. Hit me up on xbox live if any of you have it

I think that's pretty cool he figured out how to beat the game 25 years later.

And I called...it's Mussa's number.

Finished Arkham City which may be GOTY. Great game. Did a bunch of the side quests afterwards such as the Madhatter, some of the Riddler (too many trophies and crap to complete), Bane and the Titan canisters, Mr. Freeze and Nora, and Catwomen and getting her loot back among others.

Just got the new Assasins Creed in the mail (Best Buy Black Friday deal for $35). Might start that tomorrow.

Arkham City was incredible. There's so much to that game, it's ridiculous. I agree though, WAAAY too many Riddler trophies to grab throughout the game. I just ended up watching the Riddler ending on YouTube. Gotta say, if I had gone through all the trouble to get all of the trophies and other stuff, I woulda been pissed at the small payoff. The best payoff of the side missions that I came across was Hush. (The murder victims with their faces cut off.)

Uncharted 3 will take GOTY though... easy.

Arkham City was fun...my son has been playing the crap out of it.

And thanks to some good deals, I'm suddenly awash in video games. Gamefly had a $12 off code on two used games, so I was able to pick up Bulletstorm and the new Red Faction game for a grand total of $3, including shipping. Then EA had a half off deal last week, so I was able to get NHL 12 and Fight Night Champion for a total of $35. And I picked up NBA 2K11 for $7. Good game, but I'm finding it tough to consistently get the jump shot timing down.

Gamestop is having a deal this week for anyone interested...for every three games you trade in, you get an extra $10 bonus. I decided that while it seems like a good idea at the time to keep good games with the thought that I'll play them again...I never do. So, I packed up some old games like Madden 10, Madden 11, NHL 10, Dead Space, Grand Theft Auto 4, Force Unleashed and few others I don't even remember, and ended up getting about $70 back.
