I believe I played too much this past few weeks. I'm all burned out, like a beautiful, nude Icarus burning his wings and plummeting to the ground.

 Or a fat guy on the couch after a heavy meal.

it's been platinum/greatest hits in europe for many years now so it's around £15 but i still think it's too much.  i'd get it if it was under £10

Fuck, over here it still goes for about 50 bucks, easily.

Anyone picking up the new splinter cell?

Nah, will rent it, I guess. Never been attracted to the series in any way, but with RE5 and GoW I discovered I could beat games within the span of one week. So now I rent games that I'm too cheap to pick up, even at hobo price.

IGN UK Monster Hunter Tri review

It's a product of Japanese gaming culture in that it values and rewards hard work. But Tri is nonetheless far more accessible and appealing than its PSP counterparts – it's beautiful, absorbing, hugely satisfying to play (with a Classic Controller at least) and thankfully doesn't rely so heavily on multiplayer. In crafting a more balanced and engaging single-player experience, Capcom has ensured that many more players will be drawn into Monster Hunter's world - and once you're in, Tri shows you so much love that it's impossible not to love it back.

Nice.

Still got to figure out how to afford this game. I've sold virtually every game I'm willing to part with at this point.  Guess it's time to go back to manwhoring.

IGN UK Monster Hunter Tri review

Arriving in Moga Village, a peaceful fishing spot where everyone of all ages wanders around in assless trousers, your job as the resident Hunter is to rebuild the hunting camp, strengthen the village and, ultimately, go after the monster that threatens its welfare – the Lagicarus, an enormous and extremely badass underwater dragon that stars in Tri's box art and trailers.

IGN UK Monster Hunter Tri review

If you do, though the rewards are practically unlimited. Tri's depth of content is unbelievably impressive, and the end-game is vast. Once you've defeated the Lagiacrus, you realise that it's really only the beginning. More than half the game's monsters don't even make themselves known until 40 or 50 hours in, and the hundreds of online quests offer as much content as voracious fans can possibly consume.

 Whoa.
