Oh it looks like Homer is going to get to play Duke Nukem Forever at launch.

The rate that the 360 version is going, good god.

Thing is, I saw the PC version, and that'd be the one I want to play the most!

Played a LOT of Infamous this weekend. The original now freebie from Sony, not the sequel. It's fun, I'll say that. Got some gripes, but overall iti's kept my attention. Should finish it up in the next day or so.

What's up with the buff, body-builder woman in the black dress in that pic?! Is she someone you have to kill? She looks like she'd be pretty tough!  

Her shoulders are HUGE!

Someone needs to lose a few polygons!!  

I put in a lot of time with Infamous as well.  I should be finished with it this week sometime, unless I get sidetracked.  I'm taking my sweet time with LA Noire, collecting Golden Film Reels at the moment.   I have about ten out of fifty.  I even managed to get five stars on one mission, something I can't seem to duplicate.  I am in no rush to finish, just like with RDR last year.  This is my game of the summer, I'm just soaking everything in.  Oh yeah, I did spend some time with Brutal Legend and Uncharted 2.  Got my ass handed to me in UC2's mp.

You are playing too many games at the same time Travo.

=-=-

Me: beat Brutal Legend.

Played a bunch of DS games before quitting on all of them -- mostly of them RPGs. Children of Mana, Chrono Trigger, 999 (not an RPG, just not what I want).  Played some PES on DS.

I wish I had FF6 on advance, damnit.

So now playing Gears 2 and Dark Alliance 2 with the wife.  Also playing Psychonauts.  I am 1.5 hours in.  I wish I could just play the damn levels, but there is this portal level in ht emiddle which gives no direction and I'm having trouble figuring out how to get to the next level.  Other than that it's pretty good.

I kind of started Dead Head Fred on the PSP -- it's a third person action game from the people who did Total Overdose.

I would join you on Gears 2 if you like.

I hate it when writers don't fact check!

From a Destructoid Article:

"One of the huge bombshells of E3 2011 was the announcement that Tekken was coming to the 3DS and the Wii U. This is the first time that the series has made it to Nintendo consoles, and it looks like they're both off to a great start."

*ahem!*

We don't count that. It was crap.

First thought? Awesome.

Second thought? Uh oh.

"The Xbox 360 250GB slim models are getting a new processor that the company says will cut down on heat and manufacturing costs, among other benefits.

The System-on Chip (SoC) processor combines the GPU (graphics processor), CPU (main processor), memory, and I/O logic into a single chip.

Microsoft says the chip is five years in the making, and will cut down not only on the processors used and the manufacturing costs associated with this, but also the size of the motherboard, power supply, and offer better heat management. The company says that there will be no compatibility issues with older software."

You don't have to in Streets of Rage. You just go left and beat up dudes.  Bad dudes.

I played Nintendogs over the weekend, there is tons of stuff to unlock, I got a huge selection of dogs now and you keep unlocking new items and furniture and stuff hours and hours into the game. I unlocked a science fiction room which I could use to redecorate my house.

I also played more GTA San Andreas. The 1 gun shop in the game still wont show up even though I go to the precise point on the map . So I decided to drive about and unfog the rest of the map to find more. The game is huge compared to the older GTAs, though there is a lot of countryside redundancy. Still though, no other gun shops.

What is pissing me off at the moment is robbing these crates with a forklift truck. You get to a certain point and the busta rhymes dude is NOT doing his job and covering you, so a guard literally runs up to you, point blank and pulls you off the forklift, then shoots you dead. What makes it worse is that the lock on does not work in the split second you have to react between being thrown to the floor and standing up, so you are dead in the blink of an eye. Bullshit design.
