BLACK is a freakin' awesome game, Paul. Sure, it's kind of shallow, but the feeling of destruction it gives you is second-to-none for a last-gen game. After I get done killing the enemies, I blast the shit out of the environment anyway just for kicks. Currently Playing:
Manhunt
pretty spooky game... Manhunt is probably the sickest and most twisted game I've ever played. Seriously, when I first bought it, I got to the second level and had to turn the game off. I'd never been more disturbed in my life. I just recently started playing it again. Why am I not as disturbed now as I was before? Is it because I've matured...or is it...some other reason... well from what i've read, i'll have to check my magazines to see where i saw it, they're making a second manhunt.

I just complete the single-player portion of Resistance. Online multiplayer is freakin' awesome. Not a hint of lag or slowdown in sight (considering they host 40-player games.) Oblivion is a ridiculously deep RPG/adventure game. The graphics are beautiful, and you can choose the path you wish to lead (good guy/bad guy.) Fight Night: Round 3 looks absolutely outstanding. The character models are so life-like, it's scary. Same great gameplay as the previous two games, with some new punches. Don't expect to land nearly as many haymakers as in Round 2. You gotta work for those power punches.

I haven't played enough of it to provide any kind of definitive perspective...but I will say this: Any video game that implements eating human hearts as a vital gameplay mechanic is an automatic winner in my book! As for the basics, the graphics and animations are fantastic, superb voice acting and dialog, and gruesomely satisfying action. And I've only played the game for about an hour. If you've got a PS3 or a 360, and like your games bloody with lots of guns...you can't go wrong!

XDCX, is The Darkness freeroaming? To an extent. It's not as free as, say, GTA. You're free to explore the environment to your heart's content, but the environments are relatively small, and there's really not much else to do but the story missions (albeit there are a few entertaining side missions to undertake.) Overall, I enjoyed the game immensely. Incredible graphics (both visually and artistically), top-notch voice acting, and a terrific story (based on the comic book series of the same name.) The Darkness powers are fun to use, and the Darklings add strategy to all the killing. My complaints are few, but worth mentioning. Overall, the game is relatively short (you can beat it in a weekend), the multiplayer sucks, and sometimes the controls don't react as tightly as you'd like them to. But for a game with so many great things going for it, it's easy to shove the complaints under the rug. It's a very good game. But it's most definitely not for the faint of heart. There are moments in the game that will shock you, repulse you, but at the same time amaze you. Overall, I give it a 9/10.

skate. (PS3) (demo) I've been a huge fan of the Tony Hawk series for a long time, but the formula has gotten pretty stagnant over the past few years. I laughed out loud when I heard that EA was coming out with a skateboarding game. Not only a skateboarding game, but a skateboarding sim. But I've been following it's progress since I first heard about it, and it's peaked my interest. A demo was just made available on the PlayStation Store, so I downloaded it. And I am addicted. Whereas the Tony Hawk series is known for it's slap-stick humor and over the top trick combos, skate. is more grounded in reality. You won't be pulling off 100,000+ point combos in this game. Linking a 180º kickflip into a rail grind, followed by a nose manual is an extraordinary feat in this game...and when you finally pull off something even approaching that, you feel awesome. There's a steep learning curve, but you'll feel a great sense of accomplishment when you pull off something cool. I've only played the demo. The game is already out on the 360, and it's being released tomorrow for the PS3. I'll definitely be picking it up.

This is the first game I've bought for my PSP in many, many months. Lately, it's been collecting dust. I've been following this game pretty closely. I was a huge fan of the first 3 games released on the PS1. Omega Strain (PS2) just wasn't all that great (you didn't play as long time series protagonist Gabe Logan. You created your own character. Rougher gameplay.) Then last year, Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror was released for the PSP. It received universal acclaim by critics. So I picked it up. And it was everything the critics said it was, and then some. Great controls, considering the PSP only as one analog "nub." Great plot, PS2-level graphics, and great multi-player. It was the total package. So naturally, I picked up the sequel, Logan's Shadow. So far, it surpasses it's predecessor in every conceivable way. Fantastic story that could easily come straight out of the Tom Clancy universe. Same great control scheme, with a few new moves. Superb graphics (and the best water the system has ever seen. Seriously, water that looks this good shouldn't be possible on the PSP. But here it is.) And the same great multiplayer. I'll give my final verdict as soon as I finish. But so far, things are looking up!

I traded in a bunch of games at my local GameStop today (they ripped me off, but they're essentially a pawn shop when it comes to trading in used games.) One of the salesBOYS was a complete dick, but thank God for the other guy. When I asked if they had any copies of COD4: MODERN WARFARE for sale for the PS3, the dickhead salesBOY immediately said no, and unless I had a pre-order, I couldn't get one today. Well the guy ringing me up asked me what system I wanted it for, and I told him the PS3. He said he was pretty sure they had a copy available for the PS3. Captain Dickface said "No, we don't." So the dude ringing me up took it upon himself to look it up in the computer, and sure enough, they had a few copies available for the PS3 that weren't already pre-ordered. So I called Sergeant Dickwad a...er...dickwad, and I got my copy of the game.

Picked these up on Wednesday I had Assassin's Creed on pre-order, and I picked up K&L:DM when I picked up AC. Both are pretty freakin' sweet.
