    And auto mechanics work on their cars in their spare time, right?

    Anyway, hope you're playing some good games...lots coming out. I don't have time for them all so I just play a few I really like. :)

    played alot of Skate 3 on the 360 in recent times, now i try and find the time in between to play some Rush on Battlefield Bad Company 2 (Sniper mode mostly) which is awesome. pre-ordered Battlefield 3 and wanting to play Gears 3, Dead Space 2 and Red Dead sometime eventually. ..
    so much stuff to do, so little time. ..

    Forza 4 is pretty amazing! GT5 just got knocked off the top of the hill (with a good assist from Sony's horrible menu and presentation system). Can't wait for my Fanatec wheel to show up. The wheel and pedals cost an arm and a leg, but it can be used cross-platform for xbox, ps3, and the pc so it should pay off.

    Racing should keep me busy until 11/11/11. After that, I'll be fighting some mud crabs for fun. 8-)

    Picked up Dark Souls yesterday.

    Game is HARD!!!!! :shock:
    Just played Dark Soul for the first time, and yes, it is much harder then most current games. That said, it doesn't even come close to the frustration of a classic games like Kid Icarus, Blaster Master, or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES .... well, at least you don't need to enter an alpha-numaric code of over 100 characters at save points! :ugeek: :mrgreen:

    This game is the opposite of hack and slash and requires patience and strategy. So far I'm liking it.

    I must have been the only one who ever played the PC version since they don't make it anymore. I actually bought NHL 09 as a downloadable PC game a few months ago for six bucks.

    I found it very tough in the beginning but once you get used to it it eases up a bit.

    I need help killing this wolf boss though :twisted:

    Has anyone checked out Rocksmith? It came out yesterday, it's like Guitar Hero but you have to use your guitar to play. It's pretty good for learning to play guitar.

    Looks cool but I'm going to see what the overall jury has to say after a few weeks. Reviews on Amazon are positive and maybe the game will get me to knock the dust off my electric guitars.

    It IS awesome.

    There are some issues with the Fanatec gear at the moment. You will end up getting no rewards using the wheel in 900° rotation (sensitivity) setting, which is not cool cause to me it feels the best.
    Also the wheel makes a whining noise when it connects to the 360 (not the fan). Can't hear it over the game, but still.
    Both of those issues are under investigation. I played the first 6 races and stopped getting rewards by race 6, and don't get any in MP or otherwise unless you turn the sensitivity to 270°. I don't like that setting though, so I'm waiting it out.

    I also tried using it with GT5 and can't get the gas pedal to work right. It registers slightly, but not enough to move the car or to select in menus.

    Hmm.

    My wheel should be showing up in the next few days. I'll let you know if I have any issues.
