I just started playing Alpha Protocol tonight and I really like it. Should not have let the mediocre reviews keep me away as long as they did.

I've heard the story is really cool and the split second decisions even better. But the graphics are blah and the mechanics are so janky. The shooting is all dice rolls and inaccurate as shit even with a leveled up character.

I can't disagree with any of that so far, however the story is real strong so far and it makes up for some of the shortcomings. The graphics/animations aren't really an issue, I can see the shooting being annoying later in the game but right now it's no biggie.

I've heard the best way to go is to upgrade all your stealth attributes so as to have less headaches later in the game.

I might have to get Metro 2033 because of Buzzman.

I just finished it. It's a very good game. I paid $30 for it a while back and I would see that is a solid price for it.

I'm enjoying this Ruse demo way too much.

Just finished Dead to Rights: Retribution. I can't get over how long it was. Most of these popcorn flick, over the top violence games are pretty short. 8-10 hours tops. I wouldn't be surprised if this game was 15-20.

Very solid in my opinion. I had a lot of fun shooting dudes in the face in slow motion and siccing my dog on enemies' nuts.

Well looks like Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions is getting average reviews. Looks like it will be a budget buy for me. Really was hoping it was going to be great.

Probably, but it's an Activision game. Their games usually take a while to drop.

I'm balls deep in The Saboteur. I've been playing for over 20 hours and I'm still not done Act 2.

Some of the missions in that game are really unique and a blast. I can't wait to climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower and jump off, ala Crack Down 1.

Done with The Saboteur. I really enjoyed it. About 27 hours of gameplay.

Now on to Bioshock 2.
