    Anyone else looking forward to SSX?

    I played the hell out of SSX 3 and it looks like they are going to try to keep the reboot in that game's style. The game looks huge w/ 21 real (although greatly exaggerated) mountain locations ... plus, it has bat suits! The genre is typically out of my wheelhouse, but I think it appeals to my love of racing games.

    I haven't played a SSX game since the PS2-years. It was pretty fun then. My bro and I used to have some crazy races.

    Skyrim is just amazing.......six hours feels like 15 minutes

    I've put over 200 hours into it and that's been mostly side quests for random people, did the whole College quest, a couple Dark Brotherhood, couple Greybeards, messed something up with the Thieves Guild and one of the quests isn't starting. Don't feel like going back through 50 hours of gameplay to start it. I'll just start a new game and do it then.

    Last night I got a chance to play and did nothing but move items around from house to house that I own and deal with my economy. Then an hour passed and I contemplated my life for awhile.

    I've been playing Gotham City Impostors for the last week or so on my PS3. It's a complete Team Fortress 2 rip off, but it's a lot of fun.

    Twisted Metal passed the "fun" test. I haven't played that series since TM3. This game reminds my of TM2 and that is a good thing. It has the same unrealistic, yet tight control that TM2 had.

    The single player doesn't look to be very long, but it should have good replay value. I don't play much online multi-player, but this game has up to 4-way split screen for some good ol' local multi-player. (Ahh, remember back in the day when you could actually play your friends on the same TV ... 8-) )

    anyone download gotham city imposters?

    held off, held off, and pulled the trigger the other day. VERY fun FPS, well worth the $15 (plus they are throwing in a lot of free DLC in march).

    wasn't 100% sold at first, but as i unlocked better stuff and was able to hold my own and not get my ass kicked game after game it definitly grew on me. was in a party with five of my buddies lastnight and it was hilarious.

    Sony owns the studio/developer who makes it. The best you can hope for is a competitor to make just as good of a game.
    I wish the Show developers made a football game!! I can't stand Madden anymore!

    2k loses their exclusivity after this year... thank god. They have improved, but I don't think it is close to what could and should be. They aren't going to re-up either. They have lost a ton on the deal. I am hoping ea gets to jump back in for 2013

    What makes the show so good?

    yeah, but sony knows they are missing out on a TON of sales limiting it to ps3.

    it's like the iPhone and AT&T, they finally shared the wealth with other carriers!

    Yeah, but those were two companies who had a contract to keep it exclusive. Both companies benefitted from the contract at first, the ultimately Apple was the big winner.

    People buy the PS3 for the Show and every cent of the software sales goes in their pocket because their own people develop it. Exclusivity is becoming a thing of the past as independent developers make more money selling their product to multiple parties...unless a contract is drafted or they are bought out. Keeping things "in-house" on either game platform....especially if you have a blockbuster game, makes that company even more $.
