Also, I don't know when this happened but Bioshock on Games on Demand was lowered from the ridiculous $29.99 to the much more reasonable $19.99. I might have figured out what I'll be doing for the next week or so...

Steam has it for free if you preorder Bioshock 2, which is only 45$.
You save even more if you split a four pack between some friends.

I have SF4 also for the XBOX

I have to say it is incredible and I recommend it to everyone that can purchase it

however I got it last Feburary and I dont think it is worth it to get anymore with SSF4 comin out April 27 last I heard

Seth ftw

You're the good Wii owner. We only got THREE copies of Tatsunoko vs Capcom in at store I work at because people buy terrible shit for that console and ignore the good games.

I was thinking about picking up Assasins Creed which is on sale at Wal-Mart, lately I have also been playing alot of Left 4 Dead and Lost and the Damned I am on the mission Action/Reaction in Lost and haven't been able to beat it yet its really starting to fucking annoy me! I also just beat Guitar Hero Van Halen and Metallica two really addicting games this weekend I started Metallica on Hard and all I have to say is fucking hell!!

Buy it, buy it for your friends, buy it for people you don't even like.

As per Standardman's suggestion and the $2 it cost I went and purchased Psychonauts So far it's pretty amazing! Just a fun funny 3D platformer.

Also on my list: Bioshock (now that my computer can handle it pretty well), and Assassins Creed II which is so much better than the first. Couldn't even finish Assassins Creed cause I got so bored with doing the same thing in every city.

Street Fighter IV was very impressive and wiped clean bad memories of Street Fighter EX. I hear Super is a reworking from the ground up so it's worth waiting for. Teaming Chun Li and Viewtiful Joe to fight anime characters is just cool.

Awesome! It's a lovely, lively and - above all - inventive game. The above might be a be good idea for you too, Bioshock 2 (with 1) cost me £20 in a 4 pack

The new Battlefeild Bad Company demo looks like hell on the xbox. The frame rate is rough and the detail is crud

that's one game I would own on PC, I haven't seen it on the PS3 though...

That said, I love the audio and the idea of much more tactile play AND vehicles AND environments that destroy on impact.

but as far as the console is concerned.. MW2 just looks so much more pretty and moves smoother

Finished Mass Effect 2. A masterpiece, though it's emotionally and physically draining. It has some faults, but the best description i can come up with is "ME1 : Batman Begins = ME2: Dark Knight". It fits in the good and the bad. You have to play the first to fully enjoy the second and its no holds barred emotional impact. Now i'll sadly wait for ME3.

I hope that Bioshock 2 is good, even if the moore i read about it the more i doubt (Playing as the big daddy seems a weird idea).

One annoying flaw is the character creation. They don't seem to have added anything since the last game and it's very limited. What's really weird is that NPC's have traits I want Shepard to have. I wish it was more customizable.

I agree, but i have the feeling that they tried to make the game more lean and action driven than focused on the more RPG aspects...

I impèorted my first Shepard, so i already got used to his look, and i love how Bioware paid attention to the emotional details this time. The first one was an introduction to this immense galaxy. This one is more of an hyper-emotional thrill ride. Less peaceful, more heart pumping. Also, Sheperd is generic but that helped me immerse myself in the character (and i still like him/her more than how the player's handled in Dragon Age), and enjoy the great script. The other characters are just incredible, fully developed, three dimensional, much much more than the first squad (Just confront Ashley Williams with the set of female characters you have here).

And the cinematic stylings of every single scenes, the amount of details (how every single characters has his own body language and particular attitude). The beauty of the settings. The absorbing power of the game (i dont remember what was the last game that litterally drawed me in so deeply. When i started playing i always ended up playing for at least an hour and more and i always was on the edge).

There are flaws, especially if you wanted some more mellow, exploring oriented game (But the resource collection was a cool idea) but the goods out- do the tiny bads. There's such a scope, a general bad-assery, a cinematic power and a great atmosphere (this is an intelligent sci-fi fan's wet dream), such great characters, scenes and ideas... This series has really made me like the genre again.
