i have never played the campaign none of them, I have no idea about the story line.

But the multiplayer is pretty spot on and offers IMO a real challenge. not to say COD is a walk in the park.

I am with you on the SCI-FI crap as well.

Anybody up for an arousing game of Pac-Man? Anybody?

I know it's not a big title amongst most of you all, but FIFA 12 is released today. Cannot wait.

It's good. If you liked the first two you'll like this one.

I'm way behind the times. Just borrowed Gears of War 1 from my brother in law and am playing it now. about 2/3 of the way done. It is hard as hell and I don't know if i can continue in the 2nd and 3rd game unless they have some kind of a "rookie" option or something. Seriously i'm terrible at it, and I usually do great with FPS....

I'm actually a fan of the GOW2 "wave" mode where you and a partner can buddy up and slay wave after wave of enemies. Idk what it's called since I only play it at a friends' house (who I don't even manage to see that often considering he's in a different state) but that's pretty fun. I wonder if they made any changes to it this time.

You can change the difficulty level in the settings

This is my favorite gaming video (more of a soundtrack actually).

I returned Dead Island after a week. Huge disappointment considering how much a fan I am of all things zombie. I got it expecting a decent attempt at a story, but the game put a big skip this cut scene prompt smack dab in the corner of the screen of every cut scene which couldn't be removed. To me that translated to "we don't give a crap about the story." Combine that with my other deal breaker of mute main characters that engage in one way dialogs. Granted the game was beautiful and did a nice job of producing scares as well as the type of environment you look for in a zombie game but beyond that it was shallow.

Just bought Deus Ex Human Revolution. Game looks very promising so far. Also looking forward to Uncharted 3 in November, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record in October, and the Metal Gear HD collection in Mid-November. Assasins Creed Revelation should also be solid.

Also haven't gotten around to Batman Arkham Asylum nor the upcoming Arkham City but everything I've read declares it's a hell of a game. Still always good to have rainy day games saved away seeing as how you only really get 4 or 5 good non-sport games a year.

If you have not played the Uncharted series yet you must do so, probaly one of the best video games I have ever played, especially number 2.

All you guys calling Gears of War GOW is offensive to us Playstation owners. We are in procession of the TRUE GOW aka GOD of War lol.

Take your roided up Fred Durst elsewhere

"It was an extremely tough decision between Fred Durst and Topher Grace, but in the end, Durst's experience with facial hair and colorful use of the english language gave him the edge. Several producers were insisting on Jason Statham, but his lack of a badass goatee disqualified him fairly early in negotiations."

I love God of War as much as the next guy, but I'm not picky about usage of the name.

Also, Fred Durst is lame, that is all.
