    Can't wait for NHL 14 to come out in a couple weeks...
    Me too. I will be trading in that piece of shit Madden 25 I picked up last weekend for NHL 14. Amazing how one company can make such an amazing game (NHL) and such a giant, steaming pile of crap (Madden).

    Just finished The Last of Us... :clap:
    :clap: indeed!


    The story, the detail, the acting, the emotion, the gameplay....all amazing!

    Yes.
    While playing this game I grew a fondness for using the bow and arrow to kill a lot of the enemies in stealth mode.
    I came upon the realization how awesome a Rambo game would be if they used this game engine and told half the story TLoU did.

    Killing guys in a snowstorm was awesome.

    Yeah, the winter part of the game was by far the coolest!
  • I went to the gamestop to trade in a few old games and get the Last of Us.
    Damn it. $6 in return cash for Batman and Max Payne3.
    And last of us was $55 used. No thank you.

    I got Bioshock infinite despite the fact that I despise 1st person shooters. I am happy to admit that this game is pretty badass though.
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    I went Skyrimming for a good 7 hours on Saturday. Got my High Elf to 100 sneak. I basically can go around unseen with Mehrunes' Razor and just butcher people.

    Forza is another game I need to revisit.

    I'm not thrilled with The Elder Scrolls Online decision to have a $15/month subcription plan. :(

    There is no way I can justify that fee for as sporodic I play games. It had been 10 months since I last played Skyrim.

    Agreed. Other than XBL, I don't do the monthly fees per game thing.

    never played anything from the far cry series, don't even know much about the series in general but far cry 3 blood dragons arcade download on xbox caught my eye.

    best $15 ever spent on gaming! tons of content for an arcade download. the main quest was long enough, side quests were fantastic, plenty to do in this open world game. the whole theme of the game revolves around 80's action flicks.

    highly suggest the download and as far as i know has ZERO tie ins to the previous far cry games. i feel like this game is just one gigantic easter egg.

    Anyone here get Diablo 3?
    I heard the console version is considerably better than the PC version and it got good reviews. I was a fan of the first two Diablo games...
    Tempted to get it.


    Lots of games coming out that I want: GTA 5, NHL '14, Diablo 3...plus the freebees on PSN.
    Gotta seriously find the time to sit on my ass for a month! :lol:

    I am not sure that is actually accurate, but anyway, I grabbed the demo and played it for a little bit, then deleted it.
    Too many hours of Diablo 2 was all the Diablo I could ever stand, I think.

    yeah.
    Im leaving today for a very fun out of town wedding weekend, so the time will fly.

    I am very hopeful and optimistic for this game from what I have seen. I loved GTA 2, GTA 3, was so-so with vice city... Loooooved San Andreas. Then GTA IV IMO was a huge step back. Took away a lot of what made the series fun, and the 'innovations' they put in were poorly done. All I can think of is getting all those phone calls from friends, then having to pick them up, go out to drink, wait for the stupid vertigo to wear off, start playing, get a call, have to go on a stupid boat trip.... etc.

    I see Kill Rampages are back.

    Didn't get into San Andreas at all, but loved Vice City :P
    Didn't mind 4, I turned the phone off whenever I started playing.

    I pre-ordered GTAV on Microsoft's online store. You get release day delivery and 1600 microsoft points.

    Amazon used to be awesome with their promotions on games. Used to be ....

    PC players I know like PC version better

    That said they all say the auction system on the PC takes a lot away from it.

    Noticed it is 50% off on Xbox today and probably will stay on sale for a couple of days. Go get it!

    Just finished the campaign and I agree with the reviews... Whoever came up with this plot was on drugs! Make sure you watch the 8 bit cut scenes :lol::lol:

    Fun game.
