Mine took less then 4 hours. I went to school and came back and they were done.

I also played my first few games of 3-on-3 NHL. I know I'm brand new to it but fuck is that game hard. I put it on Easy and got destroyed by the CPU. The CPU had no problems scoring on my goalie even when he was in big mode yet I couldn't even score when their goalie was shrunk because somehow the CPU players would suddenly get ultra aggressive and wouldn't let me get near the net. On easy?!? I got hosed online too but that was expected.

Most of the NHL series now has a fairly big learning curve on it and to jump right in and have success early is pretty hard.

I actually got the hang of it the second game. I got most of the cheevos. It's a pretty fun little game. I still need to check someone over the boards.

I still have not downloaded the update, how long did it take you guys?

[QuietStorm]

Anybody getting Breach? I'm downloading it now.

Nah, especially since I just bought Modern Combat on PSN.

I did however just download Hydrophobia which is on sale for 400pts. You can't beat that for a game that was originally 1200pts this past Summer.

For those that aren't aware, there is another vote for the Deal of the Week for February 28th. The four games up for vote are:

Castlevania HoD
PacMan CE DX
Marvel Pinball
Lara Croft

I voted for PacMan as it will be half off for $5 (400pts) if it wins. So far it's in the lead with 39%.

Oh how I wish that I didn't have all of those. Fuck my impulsive purchases.

Ha! I'm actually surprised I don't for once.

You still need to vote for Pac-Man. ;)

There are a bunch of shooters on sale this week. I'm thinking of grabbing Duke Nukem:Manhatten Project and the two Serious Sam HD games. All of them are 400pts.

I wish Duke Nukem 3D would go on sale again since I missed it the last time.

Yeah, the reviews are not good. But it seemed some of the complaints were it being over priced.

The Darkness 2 was announced. FUck Yea.

XBLA House Party

Release dates and prices confirmed.

I'm more than slightly shocked that BG&E is only $10. I was also thinking that Torchlight would be the first $20 arcade game. I'm pretty disappointed it's not going to have online co-op though.

Torchlight didn't have co-op on PC either.
