    I think you might have all ready caught it, your certainly showing the symptoms. BTW GoW2 is a 360 exclusive, its not on the PS3.

    Mizugetsu - Quite possibly the dumbest post in the history of the interenet.

    Have to say I enjoyed Mirror's Edge immensely, GTA IV was of course terrific and am currently working my way through Fallout 3 (a little disappointing though, can't quite put my finger on why that is).

    I found Fallout3 really naff at first. I couldn't get into it at all. Then something just clicked and I've discovered as far across as Rivet City and I'm at the point of getting a big wok to attach to a tall building for the GNR dude.

    What I really want to do is go to Tenpenny Tower and watch the bomb going off, but I need an escort or caravan going that way with me as I can't imagine I'd survive long on my own all that way. I'm only on Level 4.

    Fallout didn't really click for me for the first few hours, now around 35 hours in to it I can only sit down and play it if I know there aren't going to be any repercussions from playing until 7am :worried:

    The ending for Fallout 3 is bloody pants though, it has to be said.

    Just a bit. I went through the main quest first before really doing much else as I had heard that its possible to skip out a pretty huge portion of it through over-exploration, which I didn't want to do unintentionally. So at the end I naturally took the course of action which would mean I could carry on with the side quests only to be dumped at the menu screen after the daft little narrative summing up with "he lived well, but in the end he was a bit of a cock". Pfft

    GTA4 is a great game and deserves GOTY. The only thing that gets semi-annoying is keeping your friends happy. Other than that, even after completing the main story its fun to go back in and romp. Put another way it lived up to my high expectations.

    I weighed, rather heavily, buying Fallout 3 on the PC or PS3. In the end I went with the PC just for mod possibilities. I got it a week ago and honestly haven't found myself as engrossed in a game in a LONG time. It should be a must-have for any mature gamer.

    I think it is quite telling that the brightest picture is the one for Mirrors Edge, it is the only one with white, yellow and other jolly colours like that.
    Anyway...
