I must be one of the only people that really enjoyed ODST. I liked the way that your character was powered down to more believable levels, and the music in the game gave a more immersive feel in my opinion.Quote:

(lol if you want but its damn fun)
honestly ive found it to be a lot more fun and relaxing than the whole competitive scene used to be. I'll probably go back and drop 20 more dollars and get fallout 3 and mass effect and never go on xbox live again.
$60 once a year on the new Call of Duty so I can work people whenever I get bored. Nobody can see my 2.71 k/d bitches! Every once in awhile I drop for the newest NBA 2K or FIFA.
Nothing wrong with any of that. I'm much more of a single player game kinda guy. Bioshock is my favorite game probably ever and Fallout 3 and Mass Effects 1 and 2 aren't far behind. Dead Space 2 is also in the running. Loved the first one, but this one blows it outta the water.Quote:

That's all fine and dandy, but what do you do when you beat the game?Quote:

Still put in MW2 once in a while to run roughshod over the common man with my dual wielding Model 1887s when it's run 'n gun time, and my WA2000 when it's grape busting time.
spectre: My degrees are in English, so I love narratives in any media, and right now, video games are producing some incredible narratives in the form of their campaigns (Bioshock, Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect titles, Assassin's Creed titles are the first and best that come to mind). In the case of Halo, the MP is definitely better than the campaign, but doing the campaign in co-op is a lot of fun I think. Not as fun as Gears of War, but still fun because there is no riveting narrative that you really need to pay attention to.
