Gonna bust open Borderlands one now and play that.

It is a very underrated and awesome game, but the open world was pointless. It looked amazing but there were no side missions to do and basically no reason to explore it which was a shame.

I'd like to play it but... I've played worse GTA clones and have enjoyed them more because they have side missions, etc.

Mercenaries 2, by rights now, should be an average game but being able to earn enough cash to purchase multiple air-fuel bombs and bunker busters kept me going back for more until I beat it.

The last boss fight requiring a QTE was some wack shit though.

Bought a new shelf today for my games and Blu-rays...

I still need to play Mercs 2. The problem was that I wanted to beat 1 first and I ws playing the Xbox version on my 360. The backwards compatability for that game was horrible. It would freeze constantly. I ended up getting the PS2 version but now my backwards compatible PS3 is in my bedroom and I really don't want to game i have there.

So I just hit level 12 in Borderlands one..

What are the differences between them all? There are 10 different versions or whatever of FPS Freek and then once for specific sports. Do they actually work better for that sport or are they just for looks and work the exact same as the rest?

Still curious lol

There's no difference. Just a bunch of different stupid looking designs on the top.

That's what I figured, thanks.

On another note: Twigg, take notes. This may get you a promotion

Might as well throw that PS2 version away.

Awful port.

On top of that, I can't tell if the online servers are still up for the PS3/360 version because I couldn't get the game on my system to run without playing it offline.

Still fun though if you can forgive the aged graphics and cheesy kills the game gets on you sometimes.

Especially near the end of the game when you have to pick between the Chinese and U.N./U.S.-Analogue.

Just made a quick run to the nearest subway, I'm about to hop back into Borderlands and Randy Marsh all over again.

I was referring to Mercs ONE. I have that on PS2.

SMH at Games for Windows LIVE. I installed BioShock 2 on my PC, and I'm immediately met with a sign-up notification that informs me that I have to sign up for this to even play the game. Then the damn thing asks me if I want to purchase Xbox LIVE Gold (lol) and assigns me WitnessedWharf0 as my gamertag.



At least I was able to change the gamertag.
