@Kyle81:
I feel differently. I like to have a window (albeit small) of opportunity to fight back when I'm being shot at.

It's probably why I'm not a huge fan of "realistic" shooters where the first player to see another is typically guaranteed a kill.

In science fiction shooters where shields or large amounts of health are involved, you usually get a chance to turn around and kill the guy firing at you; but you can't just do it by shooting him with the same gun, you need to put a twist on things (melee, grenade, stronger weapon, etc.).

My preference.

I'm definitely excited for this map pack. I wish we weren't being charged, but it's Microsoft's call on prices. Fortunately, I received a few MS points cards over the holidays and I'll be able to finally put them to use.

So I suppose that every other function adult playing Counter-strike is just on the brink of committing multiple homicides?

Jack, your logic fails me.

I don't know if it's been said too often, but a saved films feature in GTAIV would be amazing. I'm already sold on the game, but I would love to get to rewatch my shoot outs and car chases from different vantage points, take the game into bullet-time, and get a chance to zoom in on the of little details (bullet casings, blood stains, etc...).
I still don't have it and I've got a pretty good reason why. I feel like I have too many games right now and not enough time to dedicate to them all. Between TOB, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Rock Band, Brawl next month, and GTAIV the following, I'm just too damn busy.

And it's a shame since I've heard nothing but praises for it and I enjoyed the beta. Maybe I'll rent it and enjoy the campaign, seeing as my multiplayer shooter region is well covered with Halo 3 and TF2.

This is great news.

@maximus9:

If 2008 did a 360 degree turn it would... oh never mind.

I don't have a Ps3, but I'd be happy to see this on a console regardless. At least then I might be able to play it some day.

@ChinezePanda:
Huh? gay != bad.

Also, these games are fun and worth every penny if you're buying something that you want to play. I was a bit disappointed with GHIII, but Rock Band is fantastic.

@sir_blazeAlot:
Ugh.

This seems very nicely done. I hope he gets a visor in so it looks more complete.

@rastaman4200:

Are you joking? Have you even played Halo 3. With a comment like that I can't expect a reasonable discussion with you. Just know that making statements like that makes you sound very stupid.

I would have voted for Halo 3 if it was up there. Portal rocked though, so TOB gets my vote.
@MCWHERTOR

"Spaceba", lol. Close enough.

That chocolate could feed me for a few days. Actually, I'd probably stuff myself with it in an hour. Still, looks great.

I've got some fresh MS points to spend and I used to love Metal Slug. Thanks for the heads up.
Heh, I remember that "Shh, Boothbabes are Sleeping" fiasco. Was that just ban-bait or what? Was interesting to read the comments though.
@shindokie:
That's dissapointing. Oh well, I have a 360 also.

@DigitalHero:
I sort of agree. I haven't bought a Wii game since launch, so I know I missed Metroid and Galaxy, but there doesn't seem to be much to attract me. I know I'll be getting Smash and Mario Kart, but other than those two, I can't be sure.

Here's hoping for Pokemon MMO.

@Witzbold:
I've been studying Russian for a little over a year now. It isn't too difficult I think, if you have the right books and an hour or two a day to devote to studying. It's an entirely different alphabet, but there are a lot of similarities to Latin languages.

The culture part of the course I'm taking is also a lot of fun. Some parts of the culture seem very strange, but not bad strange, interesting strange. Like "walrus swimming" which is something like swimming in frozen water. A fun fact we were learning about just last week, in the USSR, every major city had the same street names and numbers and most buildings were identical.

Ahh, I missed Red vs Blue. This looks like an opening for a new season. I wouldn't mind.
Randall Glass's warthog launch was the first thing to come to mind when I saw this.

I just thought I'd share that ;)
