    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.
    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.

    Who else is counting the minutes until GTA V?

    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.

    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.
    I haven't got it yet but it is on the list!
    Michael Beihn as the main character too!

    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.

    I was trying to get it yesterday but the Marketplace was broken, I will try again today ;)

    Im excited.

    Looks like I may have to sit on it until Thursday or Friday though. Wife and I have invested way too much time into America's Got Talent this year to miss the Finale.

    I'm definitely going to pick up GTA5. Probably this weekend. I was very disappointed in GTA4 but this sounds like its going to be way more fun! :D

    In other news, I traded in Madden 25 for NHL '14. Madden was complete garbage! NHL '14 is what I should have gotten in the first place! :x :D

    I finally dug into Bioshock Infinate this weekend. It's a great game although not quite as good as the original. The atmosphere of Rapture was creepier and the perks and powers were much better. I don't find myself using my powers very often and just use my sniper rifle most the time. I'm playing standard difficulty and have only died once and that's because the doorbell rang.

    Looking forward to GTA V later this evening. (postman better not screw up :x )

    Though I dont like first person shooters, I loved Bioshock infinite for the first two days. I played it last night, and I'm getting bored. I think you're right, I never use the powers. I cant tell if they work or not. But I enjoy using the hand cannon and shotgun. it forces me to get up close to enemies and really fuck their day up.

    I think its getting repetitive searching every corner for crap that usually ends up being salts or health.

    I'm dying to try out gtaV too, but I may wait until I have some vacation in November. :ugeek:
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)
