Only Bioshock 2 is any good though! : D
Also, I ordered Skies Of Arcadia yesterday. Should get here in about 2-3 days.
Vicky 2 has a 1.2 patch, so I'll be on that!
From the patch notes:

Enslavement has all kinds of earning potential. They didn't call it "The Big House" because it was a three bedroom ranch.
Still inching my way through Guild Wars. Came across this eccentric little dwarf during a mission.
Kind of funny because Leeroy didn't happen for more than a month after Guild Wars was released. Reminds me of the sorry and incomplete state of the game at that time, and why I'm just now getting around to it. :haha:
Don't know why, but Fable II is currently free on Xbox Live. I just added it to my download queue via the website, hopefully Brandy knows how to turn the xbox on and download it.
Starting out with AI War. I'm totally out of my depth.
I've heard good things about Neverwinter Nights, graphics looked cool, has dragons fights, i've never played it but has come highly recommended from friends (The best thing i can compare it to is a better oblivion/morrowind you get a party instead of one guy, and cooler fights): selling for 10 dollars now http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/never...amond_edition/
As for games.. not sure, been meaning to try out some new game. Played Go alittle bit, interesting game... I guess it's considered comparable in complexity to chess, some argue it's more in depth. I know programming AI, for it, is much harder. As computers have more or less matched the best humans arguably are a bit better. I know the late champions have been struggling with the top of the line computers, I don't know how Kasparov or Fischer would fair against them at their sharpest. The thing about when play a computer is you have to be in the zone 24/7 not missing a beat, using your highest order clear thinking. Humans often can't maintain that, and can make errors. Even though their peak might be higher than the current computer programs. I'm glad for Go that raw computing power blows because of the number of moves available, and conceptualizing becomes crucial.
I don't play any online games, I've seen DDO though, and LOTRO both being free, but DDO looked okay, rather play D&D lol.
Edit: Was reading more and apparently Kasparov tied a computer in 2003 which is pretty sweet, so I think even though he lost to deep blue in '96, (which seemed to be due to a crucial mistake in one of rounds), and they denied him a rematch, he seems to have outplayed more advanced computers, and actually forced the tie with the computer even though he was up. That's 7 years ago so computers are even better now. So it'd be tough, if the guy rated #1 ever is barely beating a 2003 computer program, and at that due to fear of losing deciding to go for a draw. But that's the problem with facing a computer have to be alert 24/7, very strenous.
This is pretty much the greatest RPG of all time.
It's just unbelievable.
Farcry 2, again. It's better this time around because I'm concentrating on the missions more than the time-wasting awe of exploring the whole place.
TRYING to play Worms Reloaded, but their fucking broken network code won't let us run a LAN game.

Starcraft II
Just finished the Wings of Liberty campaign.
It was good.
GoldenEye comes out tomorrow, someone please tell me its worth $70 for the golden controller package...
I haven't played a FPS in forever. The original GoldenEye may be the last time I've played one againist other people. I just figured it was time for a change of pace, I'm one mission away from finishing the Prophecies campaign in GuildWars, and the Halloween Celebration last night was a little too creepy.
Reference to this?

Not completely sure about the moon. I thought it was a little odd the GM gave out cat ears for logging in on Halloween and playing a game of Simon Says. :bulb:
I finally, beat the last GuildWars storyline mission. There is one quest left, but its impossible to do solo without the resources in the other GuildWars releases. I would have been pissed if I didn't already own those. But still, I'm shelving GuildWars for a little while before I start diving into Factions. Got to spend some time on the PS3. Had 4 days off and went through the entire PSN store finding whatever I could that was free; anyone else know they have a gameshow to become a tester?
Going to fire up Playstation@Home tonight, haven't been in there for months, to see if its worth wasting any time on yet.
Alright, Playstation@Home is still a crap-pile disaster. However I did find this TVish reality show on their marketplace that Sony does. Called Tester. Free to download and each episode is about 20 to 25 minutes long, no commercials. Its a lot better than I was expecting, interesting to watch a show that I can understand the concept behind (games!). At the very least, compared to the other reality shows, Tester shows gamers aren't all backstabbing attention whores.

I just wrpped up FarCry 2 for the second time (I did it on Infamous this time:D). Environmental damage really adds a lot to the gameplay. Start a fire and you better be damn sure you are upwind. :D
What's next? Duke Nukem Forever and Crysis 2. Really, I have to wait till at least March 2011 to play a new game? I guess I could play Grand Theft Auto but the graphics aren't very impressive.
I probably do limit myself too much. I tend to prefer first person to third, although Max Pain was very good. Isn't Starcraft just another variation on Civilization? I mean you never get in the action yourself, right? You just direct the action of your minions?
Kinda, but it's still really different.
Civilization is turn based, I.E take an action, then the A.I takes an action, repeat.
Starcraft is real time, meaning that while you're ordering your minions to mine, kill or what have you, your opponent is doing the same, which makes it more hectic than Civilization.

I'm not totally sure if that counts though. :/
I bought Sonic And Sega All Stars Racing, which owns.
BTW Being, don't forget to post what you think of Amnesia if you decide to buy it. : D
I don't know if you've played these, but you should take a look at them if you haven't.

I've been playing Black Ops for the last week, done half of the single player levels, none of the zombie mode but the majority of my time on multiplayer. Absolutely loving it at the moment, MP is proving to be alot of fun especially with the level of customisation. :):up:
I've just finished Fallout New Vegas. It's the first Fallout game I've played and overall I'm pretty impressed with it.
The look and feel of the game is very good. You're in this post apocalyptic world about 200 years in the future however all the houses, buildings, posters, characters around you look like they've been taken right from the 1950s - even down to the design of the robots.
Some of the NPCs in the game are great, one of my favourites is a super mutant called Lilly. Some of these characters will ask to tag along with you (you can only bring one at a time) through the campaign so you can use them for extra firepower and to carry things you plan to sell later.
I did find the game to be quite buggy with my Xbox freezing on occasion and a few instances where I've been stuck in the map. However, for the sheer scale of the game I'm not too bothered about this.
I got a solid 44 hours of gameplay out of this before completing it, and if I wanted I could go back and complete it in a number of different ways too. It's a massive game. 8/10 from me.
