So this past year was rough, my PS3 died half way through and so I missed out on a huge chunk of games. I mostly played my old unfinished games and some old favorites. I need to make up for all missed so here we go! I will play a ton of games from 2010 in 2011. This thread will chronicle my thoughts on all the games from last year that you all got to discuss in official threads while I watched from the outside all sad.

I just got Gran Turismo 5, this one is pretty current at least. Its downloading the patch now will have first reactions later.

I should be getting in Darksiders tomorrow. I have Gamefly for a month my next game will be a PS3 game. And my brother has a ton of games to lend me including Red Dead. So I will be stacked with games and I am not sure how I will approach them all.

I can't wait. It's sucked with you not commenting as much or being on the podcast talking about what you've been playing.

Why do I get the strange feeling that since he is playing 2010 and 2011 in 2011, we aren't going to be hearing from Vader again until 2012?  wink

So what did you do with all the money you would have spent on gaming?

No, no, no... Why would Vader need dildos when he has me?

THIS is what he spent the money on:

I had no money. I still have no money. I am terrible with money. I will start selling my body for a job if that lands me one.

So my first game that will be on and off for a long time I bet is Gran Turismo 5. This one is kind of recent so I assume many of you are still playing it. It's Gran Turismo, I dont know what else to say. Its pretty, nothing mind blowing though. Its like meeting up with an old friend, I am seeing old tracks that I loved. I am feeling that addictive element wash all over me, must get that car to enter that event, ohh but I should try that, I need a new car, get a license, so much to do!!! I have yet to even touch online.

GT5 is taking over my soul right now. Its so damn addicting. I think they did add some events that makes the level up system pointless. I did some of the seasonal events and leveled up 5 levels in one race and earned over 200,000 cr. I still haven't even finished half the beginner races. I tried B-Spec, boring. Maybe I will play it while I am doing something else, just leave it on in the background.

I tried the online mode for a moment and got no where. What a giant piece of shit mode. All you have are multiple hosted games with whatever rules or description the host puts, sometimes there is no description. Some lobbies say stuff like "600 HP or less" , lots of NASCAR races. Here is the problem, you need to have your own car. I dont have many cars so its hard for me to fit into levels. Plus I found that you need to set your car as a favorite so you can use it online, I entered a kart race but couldnt choose my kart cause it wasnt a favorite, I had to log out, make it a favorite and by the time i got back on it that game was gone. The game offers a small selection of cars for all but the selection stinks.

I entered a race where the description said something like 575 hp or less, that is perfect cause my best car is near that. I enter the lobby and then they guy changes the settings to 900HP, I dont have a 900 HP car and the online selection has nothing close, I would be destroyed.

As usual people with mics are complete idiots, I entered one lobby with a man calling everyone a derogatory word for homosexuals. I cant find a mute button either. There is no sense of direction and no way to filter matches to find what you want. This online mode is a complete disaster and I probably wont play it unless its with you guys.

Great! You'll feel at home with Darksiders because of the Zelda similarity. But the game does do things that could stand on its own.

Hope you enjoy it!

Oh, and the Lakers STINK!!! Argh!

Lakers won last night so be happy. Nyaa

I finished 3D Dot Game Heroes last night after a  7 month break. My PS3 broke when I was about to enter the final dungeon. So I finished the final dungeon last night, it was a pain. I honestly have no clue what score I was going to give 3D, I dont remember much of what I thought of it except that it was fun.

Playing more GT5. I strangely find a race of 12 VW hippie vans on the Top Gear track to be epic. I love this game.

Bah! It was against the Hornets. Lakers win against the average/bad teams but they struggle against the big guns like the Spurs, Mavericks, Celtics, and Heat, which is why they SUCK right now!

I think they're getting old. Kobe is getting old, sad to say. Right now, I think LeBron and D-Wade are better. But three or five years ago, Kobe was the best.

Currently in my possesion I have GT5, Darksiders, Red Dead Redemption, Mafia 2, CoD Black Ops, Brutal Legend (2009 but I'll include it here) with Fallout New Vegas coming in today and Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands arriving from Gamefly.

I was playing tons of GT5 until I got RDR from my brother. Then I started that and was blown away. I only played a few missions but I felt something special the moment I started the game up. The story is extremely intriguing and the setting is unlike any  I have ever played. Because I have a gamefly game coming in that I need to finish quickly I will put this one on hold until I can really sit and play through it. GT5 is still GT5, addicting and fun and the positives far outweigh the negatives.

As for the rest of the games I have no clue what order I will tackle them in, I just know that RDR is first. I also know that LBP2 is coming soon and that will put a hold on everything.
