Hey guys. What's up!

Just dropping by.

Just to get back on track here:

Got for the Wii:

• Muramasa
• A Boy and His Blob
• Punch-Out
• Metroid Prime Trilogy
• Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition

I'm really loving RE4 again. Man, is this game a masterpiece! Playing with the Wii-mote really does give it fresher legs. It's still so fun....so much better than RE5! Although I'm looking forward to Alternate Edition!

Also just picked up Modern Warfare 2! YES!!! Can't wait to play it!

Amen to that, RE4 > RE5 any day of the week.

You're getting all the wrong games though Well, nah you're doing okay.

BTW guys, thanks for all the help on Fallout 3 - you ASSES!

Finally picked through the horrid menu system to break out my gun, worked through the horrid map system to get out of the vault -seriously the map says there are no walls when there are?!- worked through the horrid lock picking system and broke out.

I like the VATS combat, I mean WTF for introducing it Bethesda?! You didn't, a vague hidden message comes up on the top left of the screen saying hit RT to initiate VATS mode. You hit it and nothing happens, you hold it and nothing happens. It doesn't tell you that you have to hit it when in enemy range and the only time you notice it is when you're not running for your life being beaten with batons.

Then I enter Megaton which is so far a snoozefest.

You know in the end I dont think I'm going to enjoy this game and its mostly because of the horrible, unintuitive, confusing, obtuse menus. PIP boy can die for all I care.

Otherwise it seems like Oblivion (a game I love) only in a totally off putting setting.

Well, I didn't tell you to buy it now did I?

Just wait until you start experiencing the bugs and the lock-ups!

In the article about EA not having success on the PSP (which pretty much makes them like 90% of other publishers) there was an interesting stat - the Top 14 selling PSP games of all time:

Top-selling PSP Games of All Time:

• Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (Capcom)
• Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (Rockstar)
• Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (Square Enix)
• Daxter (Sony)
• Monster Hunter Freedom 2 (Capcom)
• Need for Speed Most Wanted 5-1-0 (EA)
• Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (Rockstar)
• Monster Hunter Freedom (Capcom)
• Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (Rockstar)
• Dissidia: Final Fantasy (Rockstar)
• Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee (Sony)
• Tekken: Dark Resurrection (Namco Bandai)
• Wipeout Pure (Sony)
• God of War: Chains of Olympus (Sony)

This was interesting. I'm not sure why the list is the top 14 PSP games (probably because an EA game was number 15).  Seems an arbitrary number doesn't it?  Also interesting to see that apparently Dissidia was published by Rockstar. Missed out on that one.

But according to this list there's only four 3rd party publishers that made the list.  Two of them were essentially cashing in on existing licenses. Another is there because of ridiculously high Japanese interest. And then there's EA who is actually on the list. . . .  I'm suddenly not understanding the point of the article.

TGL: So far you’ve worked on two games, The Getaway and Bully, would you be open to composing for other games in the future?

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If there ever was anything worthy of being deemed "Epic" is the barrage of modded console bannings unleashed by Microsoft. 1 million systems? Fuck.

They just chopped their userbase down by 1 million people. PS3 takes the lead! LOL

Should I get Modern Warfare 2 on 360 or PC?

Do you prefer mouse controls or not? Simple choice depending on your answer.

I do like mouse controls, but I also like the ease of the console, the vibration of the controller, and what have you. I guess it doesn't matter much in the end. PC version is cheaper.

It's all a part of MS's evil plan to artificially fuel their hardware sales by year's end.
