I did a quick search and didn't find anything on it...

Does anyone here have or have played the Skylanders games? Ignoring the fact that it's a money sink, are they games themselves any good? Reviews seem to be favorable but I was interested to see if anyone here plays it. I bought a bunch of the figures for my nephew for Christmas but I might keep a couple and get the game if it's good...lol.

The first game is good, the Giants game is not as good but still serviceable. Kids love it.

I just fired up my PS3 and saw I had 176 games in a folder titled "Unknown". I'll admit I was scared for a few seconds. I thought I had lost all my PS1 and PS2 games or something just got fucked up somewhere. I think it's because I switched them to alphabetical sort the other day. I switched the mode back to grouping them by platform, or whatever it is, and all is well.

Phew!

So I'm watching a stream of Tomb Raider: Anniversary, and now I just bought the Tomb Raider Trilogy. I have a problem.

I started to look at all my games that I never finished (which is 99% of them) or even touched with the intention of playing some of them. I started up The Godfather on 360 and want to like the game but something about it just isn't clicking with me. Since it's such an old game in terms of Next Gen system (2006), I'm not fond of the targeting system. You have to press LT to target a guy and release and press it again to target a different character....when 5 guys are shooting at you, it makes it a pain in the ass. Also I can't figure out if the stores are actually on the map or just the HUD....do they show up on the map, once you "discover" them? I didn't play much of the game the 1st time around and this disc is a repurchase I made at Half Price Books for $10 over 2 years ago. Going to try to play through the game, while I play The Show and NBA 2K on my PS3.

I buy myself old games for Christmas presents, so it irks me considerably that the disc of the copy of True Crime: Streets of LA I bought is so scratched that the "Please insert a Playstation or Playstation 2 disc" screen pops up. Alas, it is always better to have wasted $6 than $60.

So many games to catch up on. Guess that would be considered a first world problem.
