So I spent several hours playing SSX, and I don't like it much. It's not bad, but It moves waaay too quick for me, the over-the-top personalities of the characters are gone, and the music just sucks! OMG does it suck! It does not fit the game at all (IMO). At least it has a custom soundtrack feature.

I STAND ALONE!

Don't take this the wrong way, but you're gettin' OLD Hamster!

If SSX is too fast for you, might as well put down the Dual Shock now and pick up some Mah Jong tiles!  

It's a shame. I was looking for someone to compete against on the Ridernet.

Guess I'll keep looking.

**The only thing I have against the game is it seems to be less colorful than the others. The others made great use of colored lighting and effects. While this game does have glowing suits and flares, the use of colored lighting is kept to a minimum. I know that is the point sometimes, as in the Deadly Descents, but still... I actually don't mind the music. The one thing you can count on with EA is they'll find somewhat lesser known bands to plop onto their soundtracks. I look at it as listening to music I normally wouldn't. The game actually isn't what I was expecting from an SSX title, but I am addicted nonetheless.**

Well I love doing it too when its a game I completely utter love. But Journey seems like a nice 2 hour game but they way IGN made it seem is that it is a life changing game, the most beautiful game ever made, and stuff like that.

Yeah, but you've never been a big fan of games like that. The person doing the review obviously is. There's no difference between what you're doing and they are beyond a matter of taste.

I am playing Killzone 3, single player is fine, online I do not like right now. It seems like everything I do I get killed. I walk outside I get shot by a sniper halfway across the map. I walk and a missle hits me. I walk and a flying spaceship thing kills me. Tactician sucks now, the spawn points are like territories, what is the point. The first team to get it pretty much wins, you arent going to take back a well defended spawn point. I liked Killzone 2 more. Oh and Move works very well.

Don't try and play it like Killzone 2. It's basically the complete opposite. Play it quickly and never stop moving. You don't really need to give any thought to where you're going either because the maps are so limited. And don't play tactician when just starting out. Play something where you don't have to worry about anything but shooting such as Infiltrator or soldier.

It does suck, though. Playing well won't change that.

Good point on Journey. Yeah I think I agree with you on Killzone 3.

I figured you would like it.  

EA strikes again! I provide them with what they ask for, and they try to tell me the info in incorrect:

So then, after I once again send them the info and explain to them how Ubisoft had a similar problem fixed in 5 minutes instead of 5 days, I get this email:

These guys are a pain in the ass. Just transfer my fucking Xbox gamertag to the other email that already has my PS3 and PC info on it!

Yeah, I know I'm getting old. I honestly don't think I have it in me to keep gaming for much longer. I just don't have the patience or drive anymore. That's not a bad thing, really. Other aspects of my life are starting to replace it, which is a good thing.

Cataloging the world's pornsites doesn't count.

I beg to differ.

I even had a beer tonight and I dont drink. I dont want to play anything though, played enough Killzone 3 today.
