Twigg u wasted all that time typing that up and you were most likely not on the correct webpage.

.

That may be a possibility. All I know is I googled "Sony Playstation store online" and besides all the links to the PS Blog about the announcement of it that was the page it linked me to.

It looks like the wife and I have a date with the town of Silent Hill Saturday. I've never seen the movies or played the games before playing some Homecoming the other day. She's digging it and she liked the first movie so we're going to watch both movies and play some more Homecoming. Depending on how long it takes we may get to Downpour this weekend as well.

So in Mass Effect I made the mistake of not having a save file before going to Ilos because I just assumed you could continue after the main story was over to do side stuff, that's not the case. So my question is should I go through the game again and do all of the side stuff before Ilos to set myself up for ME2 and 3? Or would that not be worth all the trouble? I did one side mission the entire game and that was just a mission for Garrus.

I really dont think I want to go back and do all of it with this save, gives me a reason to play through it all again. What would you ME guys say to do in my situation? (Swarley, Jay, etc.)

I would not do it over again right now. If you do, you'll likely burn yourself out before you get to the end of the series. I made the mistake of playing 2 first, then I wanted to do a full run to have a character ready for ME3's release. I went back to one and then replayed 2 again (all in Feb.). By the time 3 came out I was too burned out to really play through it. I say just continue on.

Then that settles it, I continue onwards to Freedom's Progress!!!!

age of empires 2 might be coming to Steam

would be the greatest news ever if true

Still really loving the campaign in Future Soldier. It is very Tactile (if you want to approach it that way) and strategic. I try to not kill enemies and sneak around. I love all the gadgets they give you as well. I like the small bitsize missions they give you with a clear objective. I know there is a larger story over all but I never bother to really follow it nor do I need to. Look forward to finishing it this week.

I miss playing my PS3 so much. Madden but especially Twisted Metal. Spring break is coming up so afterwards I'm definitely bringing my system onto the campus.

That makes me happy, as I am a huge RTS fan. I would say it is my fav type of game after sports to play. StarCraft, Command and Conquer series, and Age of Empires were games I loved. I wish World in Conflict got a bigger following because it was a cool RTS as well.

Between the GoW demo, the new Tomb Raider, End Game DLC for Bf3, a sprinkling of SH: Downpour and GoW releasing next week I'm going to be set for a while.

I got a used copy of Bionic Commando on Amazon for 1.58 with shipping. After playing through it almost twice, I'd put myself in the camp of those that really really liked it, in spite of its flaws. Lot of great parts to that game that I would love to see expanded upon, but I doubt that ever happens now.

I also bought El Shaddai on XBL for 2.99, and after about 45 minutes I still have no clue what the fuck that weirdo game is about. That and if the combat doesn't improve or expand, it's going to be boring as shit.

The...

...game probably will never see another iteration unless they do another reboot.

As for Shaddai, it's based off a "lost set of texts" from the Testament (I think Old but Google would know for sure).

They basically jazzed it up like DMC with the emphasis on swapping between weapon types and whether or not you'd use light or dark weapons against enemies with specific weaknesses to each.

That and one guy talks to his wife on his cell all the time between scenes. :kanye:
