Boderlands is still on my '360's hard drive, but I gave it up because it took too long.  I may get a copy of it when it goes down a bit more in price.  It was a very good looking game and one with a load of action to it.

It is something that can get long and tedious at times.  It is good to focus on the little things. 

Speaking of which, Oblivion remains enjoyable to go through multiple times.  Which I have become increasingly curious as Bethesda is supposed to be working on the 5th installment of the Elder Scrolls series.  Where will they take us to next?  What will be the new introduction?  I'm also curious if they will go into a deeper description of the Aeylids and their eventual overthrow by the Empire.  I think the past is becoming rather rich and a visit to that period would be quite captivating.   
Ah, the good old days.

Call of Duty Blacl ops. Just found out about the Dead Ops arcade mode which is basically SMASH TV with ZOMBIES.

Call of Duty from Treyarch, Zombies the crack cocaine of video games.  Have you tried the old text adventure Zork yet?  I used to enjoy them back in the day though I dislike the interface that seems like you are a person playing a person playing Zork. 

I haven't technically played Zork on it yet. Just entered the zork code for the achievement. My friend said he got pretty far in it.

Did some fine downloading yesterday.  Picked up Mount and Blade off Steam for a mere $4, plus downloaded Adventures of Lolo 2 (NES), Ninja Gaiden II (NES), and King of the Monsters (NeoGeo) off Virtual Console.

I won't tell you what chapter,  because I don't wanna ruin it for you, but in Oblivion, you actually get to see a pristine and untouched Ayleid city back in the Age Of Myth when you travel to The Dawn of Tamriel's existence. 

The city is called Carac Agailor, and it's the home of an Ayleid Daedra worshipper named Mankor Camoran. It was an incredible sight for a game.

The next installment of The Elder Scrolls is ES 5: Skyrim. It focuses more on the Nordic lands of Skyrim, and Game Informer magazine has had a GREAT series of running articles about the game and some screenshots.  I KNOW it's gonna be awesome!

My friend, I LOVE the Sim City series. Insane amounts of time have passed me in one sitting of Sim City 3000 Unlimited. Sim City is deceptively addictive.

Watching your residential, commercial and industrial squares turn into houses, factories, and storefronts is very rewarding. So is the income you get from them, lol.

The real grabber is you can design any sort of city you want. The sky is the limit as you can lay a city out to your heart's content.

And then you have the hilarious ticker tape messages on the bottom of the screen in Sim City 3. All in all, it's a lot of fun and as I said, deceptively addictive.  :smile:

Dead Space Extration: Had it for an hour the other day and had to return it after it started glitching out. :bluesad:  Luckily, I returned and got another game of equal value...

Okami: Has probably the longest opening cutscene in any video game I ever saw, but it was all worth it.  The story is very well done, the controls are spot on, the graphics are beautiful, the humor was silly, and I love the fact that you kill enemies using your artisitic abilites!  You guys have to play this game!

Pre-ordered this, coming out at the end of this month:

Haven't played a good dungeon crawler in quite a while.  There are tons of these medieval action/RPG games, but the environments in this one look a whole lot better than most.  And supposedly the characters are really well done - Lucy Lawless even voices one of them.

Pre-ordered Dead Island, I guess you play as several different people on a tropical island in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse  :teddyr:  I like the atmosphere and overall feel of it.

So that's coming out Sept. 6, then Rage at the beginning of October, and Skyrim on Nov. 11.  I think my late summer through early winter gaming is booked solid now   :thumbup:

Ordered Fallout:  New Vegas.  I guess they finally issued a mega-patch to fix the innumerable bugs and glitches in the game.  I really enjoyed Fallout 3 and New Vegas looked great too, but I wasn't going to spend $60 on some half-finished piece of broken junk.  And as luck would have it, by the time they finally fixed it, the price has gone down to $14   :bouncegiggle:

If I ever get done with Nier, that'll be next on the gaming agenda.
