Playing Oblivion and Fallout 3 GOTY while waiting for Skyrim! 11*11*11

Trying to finish the damned ranks in this Halloween game before it disappears next week.  Been taking up all my spare time all month.

Do not mess with the affairs of monsters, for you are tasty and good with ketchup.

So i have these books: Ancestor (2007 Editions) EarthCore (2005) Infected Contagious Ancestor (2010) The Rookie The Starter The All-Pro Blood is Red

youre gonna make me break out the super nintendo....

I've *never* been so emotionally invested in a game! I suffered genuine panic, fear, heartbreak and nausea. It has multiple storylines and endings, so every decision (or mistake) you make changes the outcome.

It's a detective/thriller story - a man's son is kidnapped by a serial killer and you need to find the clues to save the boy. Throughout the game you play as the father, an FBI agent, a private investigator and a journalist - each uncovering different parts of the puzzle. There's counters and stopwatch challenges and a lot of the events happen in real time, so there's a constant feeling of urgency.

This game has been around for a fair while and won a bunch of awards. I can't believe I only just discovered it! The controls are a bit painful and take some getting used to, but it's brilliant in EVERY other respect. If you're into detective stories, thrillers, adventure games, etc, I highly recommend it. Not for the faint-hearted!

Beat em up ! Beat em up ! Ra-Ra-Ra !

... during parts of Resident Evil 4.  There was one part in the beginning when you come across an injured dog and you have no idea if its friend or foe.  Mr Gmork and I were playing it and had a massive moral discussion about whether or not we should free the dog and risk being bitten and infected or to dispatch the dog. It felt real.  We rescued the dog and it ended up being the right decision (as he helps you out later) but that was the first time we had come across moral issues in a video game.  I've watched my brother play Fable II and that looks like ALL KINDS of moral issues are embedded!

EA servers kinda suck... seems like there are connection problems quite often... but the graphics on this thing just blew me away. multiplayer is fun and doesnt seems to get old with the seemingly ever expanding maps and campaign mode was a bit frustrating i kept getting killed seems like i was spending too much times being amazed by the realism in the backgrounds, streets and buildings and too little time watching the enemies sneaking up to stab me in the throat....

You're given the choice to back out of most challenges, but if you do, you have less chance of saving the boy. Some of the challenges are truly harrowing and the options you're given would violate most people's moral codes, but the question is always "How far would you go to save your child's life"? 

The other characters get tough choices, too. You can help the FBI agent kick his drug habit (or not) - on drugs he's more efficient, but his addiction is literally killing him. You can stop the police bashing a suspect (or not), risk your life saving a woman from a sinking car (or just save yourself)... In one part I had to choose between snooping in a shoebox (containing evidence that would have blown the case apart), or administering emergency medication - I chose to save the guy's life and lost the option to look in the box. Much of it is time-limited, so you're making snap decisions under real pressure.

It lets you make lots of small, instinct-driven decisions as well - like when I was given a drink by a guy who really creeped me out, I chose not to drink it. Turns out the drink was drugged. Obviously much of the core storyline is set in stone, but the degree to which you can manipulate it is phenomenal. Apparently there's 22 different endings.

Mr Gmork and I bought Heavy Rain but have yet to make it very far into the game.  After reading your posts, I think I'm going to nudge him to play it again.  Mr Gmork usually plays the games while I sit in the couch and freak out 

My wife just informed me that my copy of Skyrim is now officially a Christmas present and no I cannot just play it for a little bit on Friday.  That woman is just plain mean sometimes...

I've heard nothing but good about that game.  I wish it would at least be ported to PC, but then again, my old ass box probably isn't anywhere near fast enough to play it.

I figure I'll find a way to a PS3 in the future when I decide to get a blu-ray player, but I've got to upgrade TVs before I do that.

So what I'm saying, Gmork, is yeah, you should probably play it. :-p

...my crappy old TV made it harder to play than it needed to be. It was definitely made for a high-def big screen! But I honestly can't recommend it highly enough.

Gmork: At the start, it focuses on the small things - having a shower, getting dressed, playing with the kids - to the point where it starts to feel boring. STICK WITH IT! This is just a clever way of totally immersing you in the character's life. After a while, you've done so many mundane things with those characters, you really feel like those characters are *you*.

Thanks to a certain ExotiKali, I'm hooked on Zombie Highway on the iPad.  So is my 4yo son.  Thanks Kali...he's better at it than I am!

Gotta love the dancing with hot women and sinking lots of ships!!!  Blackbeard ain't shit...I like being captain of the Queen Anne's Revenge!!! Combat Cook

I just got Skyrim about three days ago.  Im already making progress. Im in the thieves guild, with mage,and warrior soon after. This game is great.  Also, I finished Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty 3...total time spent was around 10hours.  Shitty, crazy story. Next big game for me will be the Super Edition of Mass Effect 3.  I am going to have difficult choices to make. The one chick from the first game, or the girl that is on the tv show chuck?  I think the accent is going to win out.
