Had an amazing game on Killzone 2, harking back to my performances of yore. I had an incredibly extreme dizzy spell where I couldn't see the television, it seemed as if I was sinking through the armchair, and I still killed two people and two flying turrets and didn't even die ffs.

Disconnected on the final round.

I started playing Uncharted 3 last night, couple chapters only. I also found that my MP level from the beta carried over. I don't think I even remember how to play anymore.

When did this happen, we were hoping you would show up to play some U3. There is football tonight so if I play it is late late night.

Last night, at about 10 or 11 pm I think.

I started Uncharted 3 a few days before Christmas then I left it when I went to the US.  I must admit I wasn't feeling it so much during those first couple of chapters.  The story was same old same old, the setting nothing special, and worst of all ... something about the gunfights seemed a little bit off.  Did they tamper with it somehow since U2?  I was finding the aiming feeling not quite right and I never had such a problem with U2 or even U1.  Maybe I need to try customising the controls.

I was planning on making a fresh start again after supper las night but I made the mistake of connecting to PSN after months off and it wanted to do a bunch of updates to the game before letting me play.  Needless to say I fell asleep on the settee before the updates were near complete.  Oh well, I hope it was at least something to improve the game.

Its not you, the aiming was horrible in U3. They had to patch it, its gotten better but it is no U2.

Almost to the end of Little Inferno. I am trying to do all the combos as they come but there are a few in each set that are hard as hell. Addicting fun game.

Who gives a fuck if a sword can swing 9 directions? My god..I sliced a tree at 2 o'clock instead of 3 o'clock. Revolution!

Please tell me why I have to use waggle to steer a bird instead of an analog stick. Please tell me why I have to use an N64-like camera system.

Enemies require specific sword swipes, it is used all over the game.

I had no clue you were playing this, I started to play it today too. Figured I would finally finish my hard playthrough. I LOVE the motion controls and I hope the next one uses it. But I agree steering with it is incredibly stupid.

Yeah I needed to start something new, and said to myself "holy fuck...I still have not played Skyward Sword!" So I started it up almost on impulse. I'm not that far in...just got to the dungeon in the woods. I am liking it quite a bit so far, some of the characters in this game put Tingle to shame in the weird category. I'm just not a fan of the Wiimote for 3rd-person adventure style games like this. I'd rather have more traditional controls (augmented by the Gamepad's touchscreen hopefully) any day of the week.

I've started to see what you mean with some of the enemies requiring you to do certain moves, which is cool but I'd still rather have a dual analog setup.

Some of the areas are really cool looking to the point where I wish this game was designed on the Wii U in high detailed HD. If it didn't have the Wii hardware holding it back, it could have looked incredible.

Damn Manning. Cant believe they lost, Denver went full meltdown. Pats going to the Super Bowl again. Looks like it will be against SF.

Well the Pats still have some tough teams to play before that happens. And we'll see if the 49ers can beat the Seahawks...if they make it past Atlanta. All the remaining teams are the type the Pats have trouble with; defensive minded teams.

Even if you're not a Pats fan though, you gotta admit...they really have become probably the most impressive football franchise ever. Brady has been to the Super Bowl 5 fucking times! That's insane. And they ALWAYS have a quality, winning season, even if they don't go all the way. The last time they had even a remotely average year was when Drew Bledsoe was the quarterback....2000/2001. Even then, they were starting to become a winner. They're the Yankees of football, but they do it with a salary cap.

Yeah, I definitely didn't enjoy it as much as ANY of the previous games...it just feels kind of bland compared to them character and setting-wise. But it does have some great ideas, some great story moments (mostly in the modern times with Desmond) and a good base to build on. Should be interesting to see where they go now.

news:

ONM’s latest issue has started to reach subscribers, but it’s the magazine’s next edition that is receiving greater attention. For its February issue, ONM teases: “Are you scared? You should be… World Exclusive! The first look at a stunning new game.” The teaser page additionally contains art depicting pipework and engineering. Some are now speculating that Resident Evil is on the way to Wii U. Convieniently enough, achievements leaked out last night for a title called Resident Evil Revelations Unveiled Edition. Perhaps Capcom will be bringing this new version to Wii U.

I would love to be able to play that on the U.

Isn't it supposed to be the best RE title since RE4? Though if they say its a NEW game, it couldn't be a 3DS port...right?
