    I just got Madden 13 in the mail today. I didn't even know I had it coming. Apparently it's my free gift from Sports Illustrated this year. I'm excited to check it out.

    If you like the GTA games, check out Sleeping Dogs. This game is pretty fuckin sweet.
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    Same here, also couldnt get into S.A.

    Vice City is the pinnacle of the series.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    for me, San Andreas was. I loved how large the area was with so much variety (large cities, mountains, desert, casinos, woods, etc). I also loved the backdrop of South Central LA in the 90's.

    Plus the RPG elements of your character building skills depending on what you did, weapons you used, ate, wore, etc..

    I wasn't a fan of 4 either. I got it, I played it, I got bored and never finished it.

    I thought S.A was the best of all of them.

    Played about 10 minutes on Tuesday, had to finish the Deus Ex achievement before getting into H4, but did the first mission last night...I'm loving it.
    A huge leap in audio/video as well, imo. Amazing cutscenes.

    Damn, Halo 4 is already out? I was going to pre-order it and get the bonus stuff, but I kept putting it off and forgot. I bought 007 Legends like 3-4 weeks ago and have only played it for like 10 minutes. Now there's another game coming out. I'm getting behind.

    I didn't hear anything good about Legends, how did you like your 10 minutes?
    I loved QoS but I'm not sure how that was reviewed either.

    Pretty disappointed actually. I really liked QoS, and Blood Stone too. This game is just like Goldeneye Reloaded. Same straight forward FPS with no strategy required. I liked the sneaking around and cover system from those other games, this is just run and gun.

    Also, one of the reasons I was so looking forward to it is because I thought you were going to be playing as the old school Bonds. Since all the levels are based on classic movies from each era. Instead it's just Daniel Craig in updated/modern versions of the films, much the same way Goldeneye Reloaded was a modern remake of the film starring Daniel Craig. The plot device is that Bond gets knocked out or something, and in his dreams goes through all the various Bond adventures, as Daniel Craig.

    Moonraker starring Daniel Craig? :nono:

    That is disappointing. I knew Craig was the Bond for all the scenarios, but the plot as you describe it seems rather lame!
    I didn't mind Bloodstone but they ruined the multiplayer. The MP for QoS was great fun! Except Golden Gun....only achievement I'm missing...

    Golden Gun was the last achievement I got (for 100% completion) and I hated it too. Not a fun game, and people would just camp and kill anybody who came near it. I never played MP for Bloodstone though, I stopped playing games online after about a year of XBOX Live. I was just talking about story mode.

    I played for a little while longer last night, like 10 more minutes. Still not crazy about it, but it's not terrible.

    The premise is kind of lame, I'll expand. It starts out with a scene from Skyfall, and Bond get's knocked off a bridge into the water, then he wakes up in a dream as Bond from different eras. I don't know if it's all supposed to be a dream, or if they're saying that this all supposedly really happened and it is flashbacks, and creating a continuity/canon within the game or something.

    It would have been so much better to just made the levels about the classic movies, they use all the same bad guys, just change the Bond.

    Saw SF today so that makes a bit of sense. It would not be too bad as flashbacks I guess.
