I beat Prince of Persia last night, making it the first game I've beaten in a good six months or so. People have been complaining that the game is too easy and repetitive, and in a sense they're right. But I liked it a lot. But then, I think I might be incapable of not liking a Prince of Persia game since 2003 (even Warrior Within).

I got a Wii for Christmas, and bought Okami yesterday. This game is solid. Also got Zack & Wiki, Barbaros' Treasure of something. Haven't got too into that yet, but an article of 20 Wii games to own told me to get it. Happy to finally get back into gaming, my Gamecube just wasn't cutting it anymore.

Been playing a little Wizardry 8 these past few days. Much more enjoyably than more recent releases like Fallout 3, which is supposed to be some sort of pinnacle of gaming but is really quite tedious.

Played a little Rock Band tonight with friends. What a perfect game to play. What an exuberant and joyful game.

You realize all of the games that you list after Fallout 3 are just going to collect dust if you play it first.

I just got Bioshock for Xmas, but other than playing the first level (Which was insanely awesome), it still hasn't pulled me away from Fallout.

I've never played any other Resident Evils, but did see this cheap too. Do I need prior knowledge? For whatever reason, I just never got around to these games, but I'd be willing to try it.

Star Wars Force Unleashed most reviews have i have read on this game have been mediocre. i bought it a few days ago, and it has turned out to be a great christmas break time waster. who wouldn't like a game where you can toss around shit with the force and shoot lighting? WHO?

which is why I won't be playing Fallout 3 first, as tempting as it is. Not sure which RPG I want to dive into first...

Nope -- it's pretty self-contained. Get it. Easily the best in the franchise and seems pretty much consensus that it's one of top handful of games from the last few years. I played through it on GameCube when it first came out, but I actually really like the Wii version's control scheme. Only played a few hours of that version, but I held onto it since I'd sold the GC one ages ago.

I'd say Mass Effect over Oblivion, if only because Oblivion can suck away your life just like Fallout, because there is just so much to do.

Here's what I've been into recently:

So, I'm thinking of finally giving up PC gaming. Just not sure if I want to do the video card upgrade thing anymore, not sure of the value. I really don't play too many PC games these days. My PC is fast, have a kick ass monitor, etc but it's time for a new gfx card. I'm seriously considering not even bothering and instead using the $250 for an Xbox 360 instead, and a Live membership. The games I mostly love to play are Valve games and the occasional good FPS, GTA, or golf and bowling on the Wii. Can anyone with an Xbox 360 and a PC chime in? I'm kinda tired of spending $250 on a gfx card and having it be obsolete a year later. Seems the Xbox is the better bang for the buck, especially via HDMI 1080p.

[Tongue-Tied]

I used to PC game a lot. Then i realized that I had to keep upgrading shit to play games and it got old. and it cost too much money. i don't game on my PC at all anymore...and strictly game on the 360. I love it. Get XBOX Live. Well worth it.

[ParticleHustler]

Speaking of PC gaming, Steam has a shitload of deals through January 2nd if anyone is interested. Only bad thing is that you have to download through Steam, which can be painfully slow:

Bioshock, for example, is $5.

I've been a PC gamer for many years, primarily FPS and RPGs but also got tired of the constant need for upgrades. It just kinda sucks that a year after buying a PC, I'm still having to study the System Reqs columns and not knowing for sure if something is going to work or not. And I have bought PC games that ended up not working. The beauty of the console is there's no guesswork there. If the box says "360" on it, it will work. So after skipping pretty much every generation of gaming console, I said fuck it and bought the 360 a few months ago. My hands-on experience is limited because the only game I've played much of is Fallout 3, which has FPS elements to it but isn't really because when you get into combat, you can 'stop' the action with the targeting system. This is key because transitioning from the PC keyboard/mouse set-up to a handheld controller has been murder on me. I was a master of the keyboard/mouse and could be jumping and dancing all over the place while keeping my crosshairs steady and dead aimed. With the console controller, I can barely hit the side of a house because I'm constantly shifting to the left, ooops too far, shift to the right, no, not that way. So I end up fighting the set-up rather than the game and it's frustrating. That said, I'm slowly getting better and I've enjoyed FO3 so much that I'm very glad I made the switch. The $300 arcade pack, through Amazon, was the best deal because you get the 60 gig harddrive, 2 average games and all the standard stuff, with no sales tax and it was delivered free in 2 days.
