UFC 2010 is boring is fuck and repetitive. I cannot wait for EA MMA to drop so I can trade this shit in. I hope some people pick it up so I can run a league.

Im a MMA fan but really dont have a desire to play a MMA game. I played the undisputed 09 demo a few times. Its like the fighting games Neo likes to play, they take too long and too much practice to be good at.

Most team sports games you can come in with an understanding and execute your gameplan. in the MMA/fighting games the multibutton combos to perform single moves turn people off i believe. If i were younger with no kids i'd probably pick up that MMA game, but as it stands my gaming time is limited and i just get some football in when i can.

The US Entertainment Software Association has delivered its 2010 health report for entertaining software and things are looking rosy. While the US economy was enjoying a steady 2.8 percent annual growth between 2005 and 2008, video game revenues were expanding by 16.7 percent a year. Factoring in the economically arid 2009 chops total US economic growth in half down to 1.4 percent, but gaming again shows its resiliency by taking a smaller dip down to 10.6 percent.

I'm afraid to post something because the server will probably shit the bed again and delete it. Oh well.

I finally played The Last Guy on PSN and it's a lot of fun.

I received my $11 copy of Dead to Rights:Retribution in the mail yesterday. I popped it in to make sure it worked and ended up playing for three hours. That game is very cheesy and full of gratuitous violence but I love it.

I really wanted Neir for that price but I found out about the sale too late.

Booted up my copy of Saints Row 2... Not saying that I'd buy the old assed DLC for the game but I am thinking of getting SR3 when it comes out because of it.

I still play NCAA Football 09. In the 4th year of a dynasty with Syracuse and we're the defending National Champions.

I remember doing that. Good ass time. Then I got rid of that game. Started to bore me...

Really? Not an RPG fan? I really dig the storytelling and multifaceted characters... But I haven't played one in a while because I'm on old gen and I don't like JRPGs like Final Fantasy.

Two of my favorite games of all time are Star Wars: KotOR 1 and 2. Sucks that Bioware didn't make a third one (since they didn't develop the second)... The new one is going to be an online game... They've basically scrapped the story elements from the first two with a semi-deus ex machina. It's really almost offensive as great as the stories from those two were (especially the first one).

I played through the 1st chapter and I can't get into it at all...
It's like playing The Phantom Menace....Yawn

I never got a chance to beat either of them, but my limited experience was enjoyable. My little brother's beat both of them multiple times.

You're entitled to an opinion, though.

[IamMedellin]

I got the game for free too...

I legitametly fell asleep while walking through the star wars city in mass effect
