I am nerdraging so hard right now. I was looking forward to the Starcraft MSL finals between Flash and Jaedong, but in game 3 there was a power outage and the game was awarded to Jaedong despite the game not being all that much in Jaedong's favour. Shittiest finals ever.

Maybe spend a little less on making the studio pretty and get an independent power source for the player's computers next time.

I used to play WoW on a roleplaying realm as a robed Gnome Death Knight who walked about, jadedly and blunty pointing out the obvious shortcomings of others that everyone else could see and found annoying but were too polite to admit.

But I grew bored and just let me brother play it now..

I'm a bit of a retro gamer myself though there are some decent games out these days.

However, I hold a great hatred for Xbox Live and refuse to get it myself.

I'm playing Assassin's Creed II at the moment and might be buying Soul Calibur IV as soon as I can find it!

I'm more of a Japanese RPG fan though there have been some good Western RPGs, they just often run the risk of being too rigid with their visuals and far too cliché with their plot devices. Fable II was an amazing game though and I hope to see the series celibrate future installments.

Fable, hell yes. I've only played the first one though, since I don't have an XBOX360. I'll likely have the money to get one by the time the next gen comes out, then it won't matter. I really like the Morrowind series too. I completed pretty much everything in the game, except the end of the Solstheim quest. I used to play Oblivion when some kind friends let me play their 360, but I only lived around them for so long.

And just this past week I finished Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. I was pretty satisfied with it, but out of all those games that have come out, it never beats the first one.

The first Kingdom Hearts was timeless, that's for sure. They managed to merge Disney and Squaresoft scenarios and characters seemlessly (likely due to the fact that it was Squaresoft when the first was made, back when the company were still good) and create a really enjoyable game.

The second Fable is far, FAR better than the first. If only for the fact that you get a dog and can opt for a pair of breasts too.

As for Oblivion and Morrowind, they were......okay, I guess but as I mentioned before, their visuals were too rigid and their general ideas seemed recycled from just about every piece of trashy fantasy that was floating around in the late 70's, early 80's.

Re: Kingdom Hearts, I was in a local game store and the clerk really obviously wanted me to buy a game, and when I told him I liked RPGs he told me that Kingdom Hearts was basically a must-have. That said, I don't trust salesmen, ESPECIALLY not male games salesmen, so I just kind of backed away slowly. I'd rather just buy Dark Spire off of half.com anyway :D

Never played Dark Spire before. Never even heard of it to be honest XD

I'm currently playing Bioshock 2, Final Fantasy XIII (japanese version), and Demon's Souls.

There are so many games coming out that would make my wallet cry... But what I really want to buy is 3D Dot Game Heroes: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/us-debut-3d-dot-game/59232

Bioshock 2

I'm slightly disappointed with, It's still a great game but the so called changes add nothing new such as the underwaters levels do nothing because you mostly just walk from a to b and the big sisters boss fights are all scripted and loose it's impact after the first one. Story is pretty lackluster to and a lot is the same. Negative things aside, Rapture is still beautiful and the gameplay is still solid.

Soul Calibur is nuts, it's fast as all hell and there's weird shit like Voldo. I'm more of a Tekken man myself, I used to rule with Heihachi back when the PS2 was released, Tekken Tag was part of the bundle.

He looks like this: http://www.tekkenpedia.com/w/images/4/4 ... kken_4.jpg
