Just beat Lego harry Potter. Its probably the best lego game so far, but man did they rush the story. I kinda wish they would've done each year separately.

halfway through Vanquish and I'm really enjoying the japanese take on Gears/halo

interesting description. its that good huh?

 

[Buzzman]

The actual gameplay of Vanquish is nice and crisp going at 100 MPH but everything else about the game is terrible.

Popped in Medal of Honor to do some multiplayer trophy whoring today. I had a couple of good streaks going, but I couldn't get all seven offensive strikes. That's probably the toughest of the bunch and might prevent me from getting my platinum.

the gameplay is a lot of fun, but the story is pretty stupid; about as stupid as either the Gears of War or Halo storylines, but without taking itslef as seriously

Yeah, it's a pain. It took me forever to finally get it, and when I did, it was pure luck. I happened to get a streak going when it kept spawning the other team in the same spot and I was able to drop my streaks right on them.

IDK I actually like Gears storyline. Its nothing special, but I've always enjoyed it.

I haven't been on a team that has been able to corral the opposing team like that unfortunately.

I honestly thought I had it today because some 'tards kept going to the same back corner to camp out which gave me at least two kills when I started dropping strikes on their asses. However, I ran out of ammo, and I wasn't able to pick up a kit before an opposing player ran up on me. :suicide:

I always felt that the gears story was pretty stupid, funny at times, but pretty dumb overall

now dont get me wrong I love playing Gears of War, but the 2 minute commercials were more engaging and told a better story than the actual storyline the games presented...

Just in case you can't log in Thursday...

Whenever the PlayStation Network goes down for just a little while these days, gamers get scared. After all, The PSN went down for nearly a month not too long ago, so such a reaction is to be expected.

That's why we wanted to warn you right now that the PlayStation Network will be undergoing maintenance on Thursday, August 11th, from about 8am to 7pm PT.

According to the PlayStation Blog, "during this time, registration and Account Management will be inaccessible, including the password reset process." However, the post goes on to explain that "while some users may experience difficulty signing into PSN and the PlayStation Store, the majority of users will be able to play online as well as sign in to external sites that require PSN authentication."

So no, you won't necessarily have trouble getting onto the PlayStation Network on August 11th. But if for some reason you do, now you know why.

Starting to play LA Noire and I must say... graphics are beautiful.

Make sure you download the free Agents of Change DLC if you haven't already. It's only free for a few more days I think.

I've been wanting to play it but my Live account is suspended. As soon as it;s back I'll let you know.

Yeah, do it. If you set up a time with me I can definitely make it. I just need to know ahead of time.

IDK I actually like Gears storyline. Its nothing special, but I've always enjoyed it.

I like it too. The characters are very likable as well. Sometimes I am not a fan of the "last bastion of humanity remaining" storyline, but this works. Judging from the teasers we've seen so far for GOW3, the story looks like it could be pretty good for the next game.

That game is pretty fuckin fun, I can't imagine how intense it's going to get at the later stages of the game.

Oh and do mics not work in this game or was yours just off?
