F3 is a snoozer unless your really into racing games. Its just like playing F2 and feels repetitive

its funny how i used to love sports titles, but now, they are just so boring and feel the same as the previous game. I sure hope the show has some fresh things this year. Like analog pitching

I feel like I never go out of my way to play racing games but when I actually start playing one I get addicted.

Yeah Maynard is right....If you are going to build cars, tune them, hotlap them and then bring them online to compete then Forza is Amazing.

Just running though the career mode...........totally boring. I think I finished like 8% of the career....but I a reached level 50 no problem. But level 50 means nothing at all really.

over the holidays I decided to catch up on every rental I missed over the fall gaming season.

AC2/Borderlands/Brutal Legend/LFD2/etc.....smashed through them all, but at the cost of having to put down Dragon Age (20 hours in or so).

Tried to get back into Dragon Age, and while it's fun to play it's so damn hard to understand everything that's going on!

That's my main concern with that game. I was going to get it this week but may wait until the price drops and get Ratchet and Clank instead.

If you're gonna play DA (Which is worth it, it's an awesome game if you like this stuff) just make sure you don't get distracted for a while!

Thankfully the wife is away all day saturday so I can have a lengthy session to get deep back into this one. woooo

i need to find a new game. I love playing MW2 with friends everynight, but i need somthing to offset it. I am gonna have to rent somthing.

i finished the SP on MW2 and it was a cool SP, but the story is hard to follow. Going back thru and finding the intel. I am on act 2 now trying to find them.

I haven't tried Assassins Creed 2 but I feel like that would be a solid renter Maynard

I played through the SP three times and I'm still confused as hell as to what actually happened. Time to Wikipedia that shit.

solid is an understatement. definitely was my GOTY. I couldn't touch nothing else until I 100%'d the shit out of that bitch.

I'm not sure what you mean KG. Do you mean you forgot where you left off in the story? I can relate to that. It happened with me with Mass Effect TWICE. I was between jobs at the time so had a lot more of an opportunity to go out. One night I got drunk, came home, and played for like 5 hours. I couldn't remember ANYTHING that I had done when I woke up the next morning and had saved over my old saves like a drunken idiot.

I basically had to start over. Then the same thing happened a 2 weeks later. My video game systems need a breathalyzer or something.

I'm still at level 48 for Borderlands. It was a great game, but the replay value of it is drastically dropping for me. I just don't have much interest in replaying the regular story, which was ass, and the Moxxi DLC is fun but isn't really renewing my interest in the game like I had hoped it would.
