Still playing a game after such a long break sucks, the momentum of the story is broken, i was in a grove with the combat before, now I am rusty. Playing a game straight through is the by far the best way to experience it if it's a story driven game.

Totally agree man...I feel like I have to play a story-driven game just about every day until its done to not have that immersion broken. 2 days isn't bad, and 3 is pushing it. Anymore than that, and you lose the vibe, sometimes forget what the hell you're supposed to be doing, etc. I'll usually just re-start a game if I'm not too far into it when I last played it.

This is going to happen to me with Fable 3...I got 10 hours into it then started playing other things. So I either have to try and continue where I left off, or start over and waste time.

Gears of War update....I'm pretty far into GOW 3, actually think I'm almost done. Its very similar to the 1st two games so if you've played those you basically know exactly what you're getting here. The pacing feels better though...definitely the best game in the series.

Gears of War 3 is done! Man, I'm actually thankful for these shorter games I've been playin' lately. I haven't beat this many games in a row in fucking years. Anyway, Gears 3 is great stuff, as I said the best in the series. It gets an 8.9 rating from me. The online is really really well done.

So that's Gears 3 done, Uncharted 2 done, Dragon Age 2 done, and Ico done...all in the past 2 weeks. What now? Not sure yet.....Demon's Souls, God of War 3, and Donkey Kong Wii soun d like good choices....and I'd like to get back to Fable 3.

Edge, You won't be disappointed in Donkey Kong Country Returns.   You need to try that next.

Yeah I'm playing that one, it's great ! Just finished Batman AC Main Story wow what a ride it did seem a bit short, I guess because I couldn't stop playing it, I'm finishing up the side Missions now. Got a few others to finish up Gears 3, got Shadows of The Damned I just got. Red Faction A,  Wow next week is Uncharted 3 OMG !

After being turned off of military shooter FPS's last year with Black Ops Multiplayer, I told myself I wasn't going to bother with them anymore.

Bought Battlefield 3 the other day.

After being turned off of Bethesda open-world RPG's after running into many bugs in Oblivion and Fallout, I told myself I wasn't going to bother with them anymore...

Of course you're picking up Skyrim. If only to play it for a bit then trading it back in within a couple days.

I have so much shit to play rigt now that I'm not even sure I'll be picking up U3 right away. Especially with Skyrim coming up in a couple weeks.

I'm not picking up another game until Zelda, and then I don't think I'll get anything till after Christmas.  Think I'll be set with Dark Souls and Zelda for a very long time.  And I need to start eating into that backlog a little bit I suppose now that I'm all out of cash and I'll need to be buying stuff for the flat with what I get each month

Why didn't you just buy it on Zavvi?  I got it for £16 at launch and it's been around the £10 mark for yonks

edit: oh aye, i forgot you need a ps3 version

Yeah.

On the bright side unless you're stupid enough to import via Play-Asia it's still onyl $40-$50 for importing the PS3 version.
