After a 3rd or 4th try, I finally figured out Dead RIsing. I had popped it in a number of times, and not garnered any enjoyment out of it, but this time was different. I knew there was a good game in there somewhere, I just didn't see at first.
 
I think my first thought was that taking pictures was actually an important part of the game (which isn't the case at all). After realizing how little I was enjoying taking pictures, I basically ignored the concept. Dead Rising really has a lot of fun options to allow you to do what you want, and I was having a whole lot more fun saving people and exploring than trying to get good PP with a camera shot.
 
I'm looking forward to DR2 now. I really do think Dead Rising is an amazing title (at least I think it was) for the 360, and is one of the best zombie games I've ever played. I'm not a huge zombie movie fan, but this game got the vibe I would want from a zombie movie. Just the right amount of story and mystery mixed together.

Persona 2 is what I'll be working on for a little while, though I'm sure I will add another game soon. I know my list has Fallout 3 as the next game to play, but I have a hankering to start Assassin's Creed. I think I played it originally for 20 minutes and never got back to playing it, so I really feel like I should give that a try soon. SSFIV will be played in little bits as well. I really want to be good at it, but I don't want to commit the time to do so.
 
Make sure to persuade me to add games to my to-play list.
 
I'm serious, I want some opinions badly. I don't get recommendations from people anymore...I really only give them out.
