Some of the stuff in the XCX Gaf thread is blowing my mind, you guys need to check it out.

I kind of want Project CARS, but I don't have a wheel.

Plastic ones must be like $3

Hooz-Waheey looks sweet, although I don't like the character design or animation.  First of all: get some clothes on, it makes for much more interesting designs.  As for the animations, the chameleon has to grab on to the bats arms every time they float in mid-air?  That's never going to work smoothly.  Have the bat grab the chameleons ears or something.  Still, looks great.

Anyone know which game I am talking about?

FPS for 360 or PS4. There is a level in a north african or middle east country where you land in a helicopter and not as a part of your intended (CIA or military mission) you rescue a young biy who is carrying an AR.  He in returns ugides you through the town to your assasination target.  Turns out by the end of the level you were sent to assasinate his dad. Level ends with you being chased by the whole town to a recon helicopter.

For whatever reason I think the protagonist was female.

Call of Battlefield of honor Advanced Future Warfare

I have sent out friend requests to all the Wii U-sers listed in robios post in the online gaming forum.

Edge, what are your thoughts on Alien Isolation.  I'm sure I'm a little over the half way point.   I like it's nice blend of Dead Space with stealth gameplay.  I admit though, it feels a little too long like maybe they could've trimmed about five hours and made a tighter game.
